Forcing An Ssm Connection - IBM RELEASE 7.3 Management Manual

Servers that do not support reinitialization, or those that do not support reinitializing the settings in
question, must be restarted in order for configuration modifications to take affect.
Some groups of servers depend on consistent configuration information to run properly. For example,
the Core Server and Migration/Purge Server must agree on Class of Service, Hierarchy and Storage Class
configurations. When changes are made to these sorts of configuration information, all of the servers
that rely on these settings should be restarted to make sure they agree.

5.1. Forcing an SSM Connection

When the status of the server's connection with SSM is UP/UNCONNECTED, select the server and then
click on the Force Connect button on the Servers window. SSM will attempt to establish the connection
with the server and reflect the latest data in the Status field on the Servers window.
The SSM System Manager periodically retries the connection with all the servers that are configured to
execute. The Force Connect button may be used to trigger an immediate connection request.
