NAME
       ttd - transaction tracking registration daemon.

SYNOPSIS
       ttd [options]

DESCRIPTION
       The  transaction	 tracking daemon, ttd, reads and registers transaction
       definitions from the configuration  file	 /var/opt/perf/ttd.conf.   The
       ttd  also  assigns  IDs	to  the	 transaction  names  passed  to it via
       arm_getid calls that come from the ARM library.	The  ttd  synchronizes
       these  transaction definitions with the HP Measurement Interface daemon
       process, midaemon.

       You must execute the registration daemon, ttd, as root or with the set-
       user-id	bit set to root.  ttd runs in background mode when dispatched,
       and errors are written to the error file: /var/opt/perf/status.ttd.

COMMAND LINE OPTIONS
       ttd recognizes the following command line options:

       -?	 Displays the available options on standard error.

       -hup	 Tells a running ttd process to reread the configuration  file
		 without  explicitly  killing and restarting.  The -hup option
		 should be used in conjunction with  the -mi  option  to  syn‐
		 chronize the midaemon with the ttd.  To have the changes syn‐
		 chronized with the midaemon, specify -mi after -hup.

       -k	 Kills the ttd process.	 The ttd process should only be killed
		 if  the  midaemon  process  is	 likewise killed.  Killing and
		 restarting the ttd process without stopping the midaemon  can
		 result in unsynchronized TT data in the midaemon process.

       -mi	 Tells	a  running ttd process to synchronize its entries with
		 the midaemon without explicitly killing and restarting.  This
		 option	 is  typically	used  after  ttd  -hup	to  reread the
		 ttd.conf file and synchronize any changes with the midaemon.

ERROR MESSAGES
       ttd was designed to use exit values and to write	 explicit  error  mes‐
       sages  in  the  status.ttd file. The error messages are formatted using
       these conventions:
       - name of the running ttd program - timestamp,
       - name of the routine generating the error - error message,
       - error message generated by a perror(3C) call if a system call
	 has failed.

DEPENDENCIES
       The ARM library registration calls arm_init(), arm_getid() and the con‐
       trol  call  arm_stop  (...,ARM_ABORT,...) fail if the ttd daemon is not
       running.	 However, ARM operations arm_start() or arm_stop() can execute
       successfully  without  the ttd daemon process if arm_getid was success‐
       fully called before ttd was stopped.

       The Measurement Interface processing daemon midaemon must also be  run‐
       ning  to	 process  the user-defined transactions and to measure perfor‐
       mance metrics associated with these transactions.

       The localhost loopback interface must be configured in order for ttd to
       receive	the  client RPC connection requests.  Client applications con‐
       nect to ttd via	RPC  connections  when	the  arm_getid()  function  is
       called.

       The  number  of	active client processes that can register transactions
       with ttd via the arm_getid() call is limited  to	 the  maxfiles	kernel
       parameter.   This  parameter  controls  the  number  of	open files per
       process.	 Each client registration request results  in  ttd  opening  a
       socket  (an  open  file)	 for the RPC connection.  The socket is closed
       when the client application terminates; therefore, this	limit  affects
       only  the  number  of active clients that have registered a transaction
       via the arm_getid call.	Once this limit is reached,  ttd  will	return
       TT_TTDNOTRUNNING	 to a client's arm_getid() request.  The maxfiles ker‐
       nel parameter can be increased to raise this limit above the number  of
       active applications that will register transactions with ttd.

EXAMPLES
       The standard ttd process execution is

       % ttd

       To signal an active ttd daemon process to reread the configuration file
       and synchronize with the midaemon process:

       % ttd -hup -mi

       To stop an active ttd daemon process:

       % ttd -k

EXTENSIONS
       An active ttd daemon process  stores  its  pid  in  the	file:  ttd.pid
       located in the same directory as the status.ttd file.
