Why can't i use Promon with dbname, -S and -H

[jigar.darji]

Hi,

I am writing a utility where i connect local and remote db's using 3 parameters...dbname,service name and hostname.

This dosen't work with promon (error 2259), even though i ran it for local databases while using the complete path name for the database name!

eg. $DLC/bin/promon /db/test/dbname -S service -H host

Is there a way out?

You cannot use PROMON in client server mode.

PROMON directly accesses data structures in shared memory. Thus it is a self-service client.

Even if you could run PROMON client/server performance would suck. To see how badly it would suck you could download ProTop (remember, I warned you that performance will suck...) and run it in client/server mode. It is especially sucky if a WAN or VPN is involved...
