I’ve inherited a G2 application which manages our weekly payment process. I’m new to it, so I’m having a hard time feeling my way around this problem: It’s supposed to be automatic, but when we take down the Oracle database for routine weekly backups, in the wee hours of Sunday morning, the bridges to the database get hosed. The only way to get the G2 application moving is to manually telewindow into it and select “File” “Launch Bridges” from the menu bar. This entails dialing in on Sunday, if I don’t want to let the system wait until Monday. This wasn’t a problem when the system was designed, but now the volume of the data is such that we need to gain some processing time on Sundays.
I know what Unix command is supposed to launch the bridges, but it doesn’t work by itself. This leads me to suspect that something has to happen in the G2 session for the Unix bridge process to be able to find the G2 process and connect to it.
On the hope that G2’s end of the bridge will still be standing after the database goes down, I’ve atted the Unix bridge launch for a time when I think the database will be back up.
