Use this page to change configuration settings for the Directory Server.
- Repository Location
- Specify the type of storage and the location containing the repository. You can store the repository in the file system or
in an LDAP repository. For file system storage, the location is the directory in which the repository data will be stored.
For LDAP storage, the location is the address of the LDAP server that will be used. In order to store the repository in an
LDAP server, the server must be updated to support the Micro Focus configuration objects.
Warning: If you change the location and the destination already contains a repository, you will be warned and given the opportunity
to overwrite it or to cancel the operation.
Note: When you specify
ldap:// as the storage mechanism, additional fields are displayed for specifying the container in which the data will be stored,
and the LDAP user credentials required to write to the container.
- Listen on Loopback Only
- Check this to only allow connections to this directory server on loopback. If this directory server is running on a different
machine from ESCWA it will no longer be available.
- Maximum Object Count
- The maximum number of objects that the repository can hold.
- Timeout UI Sessions
- Check this if the user interface sessions in the directory server should be subject to a timeout.
- UI Session Timeout
- If the Timeout UI Sessions field is checked, then you can specify the length of time (in seconds) a session had to be inactive
for before it is timed out and the user has to log back in. The default value is 600 seconds (10 minutes).
- Generate UDP Broadcast Search Requests
- Check this so that when a CCI client request cannot be satisfied by this Directory Server it can forward the request to any
other compatible naming services on the local network by issuing the request using a UDP broadcast. You might want to minimize
broadcast traffic or force clients to search for locally registered servers by disabling this feature. The default is for
the field to be checked.
- Restore Server States on Directory Server Startup
- Check this if servers that were previously started when the directory server closed down are to be restarted when the directory
server is started.
- Mark Servers "Started" Only When All Listeners Started
- Check this if you want the server status to remain Stopped until all of the auto-start and startable listeners (those not
marked as Disabled) have been set to
Started status.
If this is unchecked, the server status is set to
Started when the first MFCS instance that starts up modifies the server status. This will be shortly after the Communications Process
Control Channel listener becomes active. At this point, any remaining listeners for that Communications Process, and any other
Communications Processes for that server, will probably still be starting up. By default this is unchecked.
- Clear Dynamically Assigned Values When Servers Stop
- Check this box to override the option on the individual stop server confirmation page so that the dynamic address values for
the server are cleared when it stops. This will happen regardless of whether it is started remotely, from the command line,
or from the ESCWA. By default this is unchecked.
- Save legacy Micro Focus Servers
- Check this if you want legacy Micro Focus servers to be included when you save the Directory Server repository. Legacy Micro
Focus servers are CCI servers. The default state is unchecked.
- Show System Server Types
- Check this so that ANIM servers can be displayed if required.
- Timeout API Sessions
- Check this if API sessions (including ESCWA) in the directory server should be subject to a timeout. The default setting is
checked.
- API Session Timeout
- If the Timeout API Sessions field is checked, then you can set the timeout (in seconds) with a minimum of 60 seconds. The
default value is 1200 seconds (20 minutes)
Journal
Use this group to change configuration settings for the Directory Server journal.
- Maximum File Size
- Specify the maximum file size in kilobytes (KB) of the journal file. Once the journal file grows to this size, the most recent
journal entries overwrite the oldest journal entries. The minimum is 32 KB. The default value is 256 KB.
CAUTION:
Changing the size of the journal erases any previous journal entries.
- Level
- Select the type of messages to be written to the journal:
- Errors Only
- Select this if you want journal entries to be written for errors only.
- Errors and Warnings
- Check this if you want journal entries to be written for errors and warnings only.
- All Standard Information
- Check this if you want journal entries to be written for all events.
- Extra Debug Information
- Check this if you want journal entries to be written for additional file and internal operations. Only check this option if
specifically requested to by
OpenText Support for Micro Focus Products.
- CTF Trace
- Check this if you want journal entries to be written through the Consolidated Trace Facility (CTF).
Monitor
Use this group to change configuration settings for the Server Monitor.
- Enabled
- Check this field to start the server monitor. Uncheck it to stop the server monitor at the next keep-alive interval timeout.
The default is checked.
- Keep Alive Interval
- Specify the interval (in seconds) that the server monitor is to wait between each cycle of server interrogations. Since each
cycle of interrogations takes a finite amount of time, depending on how many servers are registered and how responsive they
and the network are, the actual time taken between checks is longer than this interval. The default value is 60 seconds.
- Acceptable Response Time
- Specify the interval (in seconds) that the server monitor is to wait for a response after sending a keep-alive request to
a server before assuming it is not responding. If you know that the network is normally quiet or busy, you can adjust this
time accordingly. The default value is 5 seconds.
