4.9 Viewing the Command Status of the Access
Gateway
Commands are issued to an Access Gateway when you make configuration changes and when you
select an action such as stopping or starting the gateway.
Certain commands, such as start and stop commands, retry up to 10 times before they fail. The first
few retries are spaced a few minutes apart, then they move to 10-minute intervals. These commands
can take over an hour to result in a failure. As long as the command is in the retry cycle, the
command has a status of pending.
If you do not want to wait for the cycle to complete, you need to manually delete the command.
If you enter the same command and it succeeds before the first command has completed its
retry cycle, the first command always stays in the pending state. You need to manually delete
the command.
You can view the status of the commands that have been sent to the Access Gateway for execution.
The Apply Changes button on the configuration page issue a command, and the results appear on
this page. The Actions options, such as restarting the Embedded Service Provider or purging the
cache, also appear on this page.
