| Description | A history of the applications that have previously run
on the host computer. An entry's information is moved to
this table from the sysApplRunTable when the invoked
application represented by the entry ceases to be running.
An agent implementation can determine that an application
invocation is no longer running by evaluating the running
elements of the application instance and their Roles as
defined by sysApplInstallElmtRole. Obviously, if there
are no running elements for the application instance,
then the application invocation is no longer running.
If any one of the REQUIRED elements is not running,
the application instance may be in the process of exiting.
Most agent implementations will wait until a second internal
poll has been completed to give the system time to either
restart partial failures or to give all elements time to
exit. If, after the second poll, there are REQUIRED
elements that are not running, then the application
instance may be considered by the agent implementation
to no longer be running.
Entries remain in the sysApplPastRunTable until they
are aged out when either the table size reaches a maximum
as determined by the sysApplPastRunMaxRows, or when an entry
has aged to exceed a time limit as set by
sysApplPastRunTblTimeLimit.
Entries in this table are indexed by sysApplInstallPkgIndex,
sysApplPastRunIndex to facilitate retrieval of all past
run invocations of a particular installed application. |
