tw_reasoningstatus

The tw_reasoningstatus utility enables you to view the status of the Reasoning service. Typically this utility is used by Customer Support as a troubleshooting tool for investigating possible problems.

Automatic use of tw_reasoningstatus

Reasoning runs the same status check automatically every 15 minutes and outputs the results in the tw_svc_reasoning.log file.

To use the utility, type the following command at the $TIDEWAY/bin/ directory:

tw_reasoningstatus [options] 

where options are any of the options described in the following table and the common command line options described in Using-command-line-utilities.
