UNIX Process Server Configuration Data
The following configuration data is required to successfully configure a UNIX process server.
Process Server Tab
| Name | Value |
|---|---|
| Name | Alphanumeric and underscores |
| Default Time Zone | Olson time zone. Type any letter combination in the name to restrict the list, for example lin for Europe/Berlin |
Definition Types Tab
Process definition types are required to execute process definitions of a corresponding type.
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Definition Type: | KSH |
| Definition Type: | JobChain |
Parameters Tab
The repository needs to know the host name (or IP address) and port number of the platform agent. The default port is 1555 and should be kept that way, unless another installed program is already using the default port.
| Name | Value |
|---|---|
| RemoteHostName | <host name or IP address of system running platform agent> |
| SharedSecret | The shared secret as generated in the last step of the installation |
All other parameters are optional, you may specify them, but they have usable defaults. See process server parameters for a list of parameters. If you do not know the value of the SharedSecret, see the Configuring Platform Agents section.
Queues Tab
The queues the process server will serve, that is execute processes from, are listed here.
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Queue | System (or your own defined queue) |
Resources Tab
Resources link process definitions to two or more process servers to spread the load. Process servers which share a same resource are the only ones that can run process definitions which have that resource. You may choose any name for a resource. Processes that require a specific resource are spread across all process servers that have that resource and serve the queue the process was submitted in.
Services Tab
Services are used to execute processes. When you specify a definition type, the corresponding service is added automatically. You only need to fill in this tab manually if you want to create a file event only process server.
