[Migrated content. Thread originally posted on 25 February 2012]Is there a way to stagger the timing of the regions starting up?We've noticed a trend that when the server is bounced, the regions (3) all attempt to start at the same time. at one of the regions will fail to start when this happens. I end up with orphaned tasks running and trying to figure out which process/task goes to whatever IS up & running is a nightmare. What we've got are 2 cobol prgorammers turned dba's, network specialists etc over night who haven't a clue. To me the simplest solutionwould be to alternate the startup of the regions.

Any help is greatly appreciated.#EnterpriseDeveloper

However, in our case rarely do we have a cascd or casmgr running in task manager. We/support have not figured that out, but it also leaves anywhere from 1 to hundreds of "cassi" processes to be terminated. SO the question remains, how do you tell when a region is running or not. I have discovered a microsoft command called "NETSTAT" which will show active connections. Actually it shows the connection's IP and listener ports. Since w
