Active Transfers Support

From version 8.1.0, you can monitor active transfers. Command Center Active Transfers and cfinq can issue RPC calls to CyberMgr to query all active transfers. Command Center Active Transfers also can issue a RPC call to cancel an active transfer on demand.

All active transfers send updates to CyberMgr at preconfigured intervals. Updates are sent via RPC calls, packed as TLV data containing all active transfer information (most importantly, the byte count ). The update interval is configured in the config.txt file by the following parameter:

VRefreshInterval: 10 { number of seconds, 0} 0 turns off visibility.

Modifying or Turning On/Off Visibility Support

To modify or turn on/off visibility support on the CyberMgr side, use cfinq mgr=u call.

It is a two-step process to modify VRefreshInterval on the CyberMgr active process side:

  1. Open the config.txt file and adjust the value.

  2. Issue cfinq mgr=u RPC call to notify the active CyberMgr process to adjust its own value.
    To issue this call a user must be a member of the ‘cfadmin’ group. Every time VRefreshInterval (or any other setting) is changed on the active CyberMgr, the change is recorded in the PCI log/admin file.

Viewing Active Transfers

You can view active transfers in two ways:

  1. By viewing the Command Center View Active Transfers page.

  2. By running cfinq mgr=a on TIBCO MFT Platform Server for UNIX.

With cfinq, you can use “r” to refresh the display, without existing cfinq. Transfers state cannot be refreshed more frequently than the configured VRefreshInterval. You can also keep track of the progress of an individual transfer by clicking on it till the transfer is reported as completed. After this, the transfer is removed from the active queue and into the Log.txt history file which is collected by CC collector or can be viewed by the regular cfinq request.

Restrictions for Viewing Active Transfers

Cancelling Active Transfers

You can cancel an active transfer only by canceling it from the Command Center side. Cfinq does not have such an option. To cancel any active transfer, you must be either a root or a member of the cfadmin group. CC Node Definition is checked as well. CommandCenter must contain Alter. Alter is not included in ALL. For example,

This cfnode.cfg setup allows you to cancel any active transfer on demand:

CommandCenter = ALL, ALTER
CommandCenter = AUDIT, ALTER

This cfnode.cfg setup does not allow you to cancel any active transfer:

CommandCenter = ALL

All cancellation requests are reported in the PCI log/message file.
