Setting Service Parameters

You can set parameters for the client machine, including the default Adabas Directory Server used by the client, as well as the client name, host name, and port number.

Start of instruction setTo set parameters for the client machine:

Make sure you have accessed the System Management Hub.

  1. Select and expand Entire Net-Work Client from the list in tree-view to access the Entire Net-Work Client administration area.

  2. Select and expand Clients from the Entire Net-Work Client sublist.

    A list of machine names appears. The machines listed are computers on which clients managed by this installation of the System Management Hub are defined.

  3. Select and right-click on the client machine on which the client is defined. Then select the Set Service Parameters option from the resulting drop-down menu.

    The Set Client Service Parameters panel appears in detail-view.

  4. Modify the parameters on the Set Client Service Parameters panel, as described in the following table.

    Parameter Description
    SAGXTSDSHOST Specify the Adabas Directory Server host name you want to use for this client machine.
    SAGXTSDSPORT Specify the port number of the Adabas Directory Server you specified in the SAGXTSDSHOST parameter.
    CLIENT_NAME Normally, the client machine name is the machine name. However, for cosmetic reasons only, you can change the client machine name. If a client name is specified in this parameter, the new client name is changed in the access entries in the local Entire Net-Work Client configuration file.
    CLIENT_HOST Normally, the host name for a client is the client machine name. However, you may want to select a different host name for the client machine. For example, you might want to specify the fully qualified host name (such as, "user.aaa.com") or physical address (such as, "10.124.221.36") of the machine instead. If a client host name is specified in this parameter, the new host name is changed in the access entries in the local Entire Net-Work Client configuration file.
    CLIENT_PORT Normally, port numbers are dynamically assigned by Entire Net-Work when the client is started, as follows:
    • Entire Net-Work searches for the first available port starting from port 49152 through 65535. (The starting search port number, 49152, is the IANA-recommended value from which to start.).

    • Once an available port number is found, it is assigned to the client in its Adabas Directory Server entry.

    You can optionally assign a port number to a client using this parameter. If you do, the new port number is changed in the access entries in the local Entire Net-Work Client configuration file.

    LOGDIR Specify the fully-qualified path of the directory where Entire Net-Work Client log files should be written. For more information, read Specifying the Log File Location.
  5. Optionally, select the Update all Client Configurations checkbox if you want all of the client configurations defined for this client machine to have these parameters applied to them. If you do not select the Update all Client Configurations checkbox, only new client configurations you define will have these parameters applied.

  6. When all parameters are set as you want, click OK.

    The client machine parameters are updated.
