iCDB Server Reporting

The iCDB Server Monitor reports various warnings, errors, and notes about the state of the network connections. It does not provide any repair suggestions. It is intended to be an aid in detecting and debugging problems with your network or software configuration that might reduce performance.

Reports appear in the iCDB Server Monitor GUI and in balloons that pop up in the system notification area on operating systems that support them.

For information on the particular diagnostics that the iCDB Server Monitor performs, see Categories of Diagnostics.

What to do when a Problem is Reported

Most of the problems you encounter should be addressed by your IT department or CAD support group. Where possible, the messages and log files contain data to help your administrator debug the problem with the network or software configuration. In a few cases, the reports can be the result of a problem with data integrity. These problems might require support from Mentor Graphics.

If you receive a large number of reports but do not notice unacceptable performance issues, you can raise the error and warning thresholds for many of the diagnostics in the configuration file. See ServerMonitor.cfg Configuration File for more information. Also notice that the descriptions in the Categories of Diagnostics tables describe the configuration file keys that relate to each diagnostic.

Version Restrictions

iCDB Server Monitor is a single instance application. Only one version of iCDB Server Monitor can run at a time.

Note:

The iCDB Server Monitor Workspace view does not make a distinction between major version releases of software older than VX.2. For example, EE7.9.4 Update 5 and EE7.9.4 Update 10 are both presented as “7.9.4”.

Note that MGC SDD Release Switcher automatically replaces iCDB Server Monitor in autostart with the version that matches the release version being switched to.
