Reconnecting to EMS

Reconnecting to the Notification Server involves recreating all the connections from ActiveMatrix Administrator to the Notification Server and refreshes the status of all entities.

This feature can be used to fix inconsistent status of ActiveMatrix Administrator and Runtime, and lost status of task execution. ActiveMatrix Administrator requests the entire enterprise to reemit the status and results in:

  1. ActiveMatrix Administrator sending requests to all Hosts and Nodes in the Enterprise requesting them to reemit the status for all entities.
  2. In response, Hosts and Nodes send the status of their entities, along with their own status.
  3. ActiveMatrix Administrator processes the status sent by the Hosts and Nodes and then shows the refreshed status in the ActiveMatrix Administrator UI. It also updates pending tasks, if applicable.
Note: In a large setup, this could create a lot of traffic on the Notifcation Server and slow down ActiveMatrix Administrator. In such cases, you can select specific Hosts and reemit the status of the selected Host. For details, see Reconnect to EMS for Selected Host.
