howto monitor FMU if it's still open....

[Harald]

From time to time (1-2 events per week) FMU - as a client retrieving data from FM Server 5.5 - serving data via web crashes and connection to the web interface of course is broken;

I can't figure out

* why FMU crashes and more important

* what tool to use to monitor and restart FMU if necessary...

Setup of Server Environment:

FMS55(Win2000Svr)-FMU604(Win2003Svr)-WebBrowser

You can use VBscript to monitor if FMU is still open. Check out "ActiveX" in the FM help.

Using FM's ActiveX objects you can write a small VBscript and schedule it with the Windows Tasks Scheduler. The VBscript would talk to FM, and check its list of open files. If your target files are not open, the VBscript can open them.
