# Maintaining Targets

Directory Server target definitions and their associated qualified URLs can be maintained using the Adabas Manager.

Note
Some Software AG products that use the Directory Server may need to be stopped and restarted if you make changes to Directory Server qualified URLs while the Software AG product is running. One example of such a product is Entire Net-Work 7 (open systems).

This document covers the following topics:

- Listing the Targets

- Adding Targets

- Maintaining Qualified URLs

- Setting the Target Type

- Changing the Target Name

- Changing the Host

- Changing the Protocol

- Deleting a Target

## Listing the Targets

Refer to the description given in Managing ADI in section Entire-Net-Work Administration of Using Adabas Manager for details.

Targets are initially listed by partition, in the order they appear in the Directory Server.

You can change the sort order of the target list by clicking on the arrows in the column headings of the table in the detail-view frame. If you click on an up arrow in the column heading, the display is sorted alphabetically by the contents in that column. If you click on a down arrow in the column heading, the display is sorted in reverse alphabetic order by the contents in that column.

## Adding Targets

You can add targets to the Directory Server directly, within a partition of the Directory Server, or both.

When you add a target definition, you can choose the type of qualifier desired for the target. The most typical is an "access" qualifier, used to provide clients with a path to a target.

For information on modifying or adding additional qualified URLs for the target definition, including specifying parameters for the URL, read Maintaining Qualified URLs.

#### To add a target definition

Refer to the description given in Managing ADI in section Entire-Net-Work Administration of Using Adabas Manager for details. The dialog in AMN is the following:

## Maintaining Qualified URLs

Qualifiers identify the use of a target URL. Three qualifiers are supported in the Adabas Directory Server: access, connect, and listen. For more information about each qualifier, read .

Using AMN, you can add and delete qualified URLs for a target. For more information about qualified URLs, read .

This section covers the following topics:

- Adding Qualified URLs for the Target

- Maintaining Qualified URL Parameters

- Changing Protocol, Host, and Port Values of the Qualified URL

### Listing Qualified URLs

Refer to the description given in Managing ADI in section Entire-Net-Work Administration of Using Adabas Manager for details.

### Adding Qualified URLs for the Target

When you add qualifiers (qualified URLs) for a target, the entire target entry is created, including the qualifier and full URL of the entry.

Refer to the description given in Managing ADI in section Entire-Net-Work Administration of Using Adabas Manager for details.

- Creating an access URL

#### Creating an access URL

To create an access URL

1. Access the ADI management area in AMN as described in Managing ADI in section Entire-Net-Work Administration of Using Adabas Manager.

2. After selecting the desired Directory Server, click on Add Target.

   The Add Qualifier dialog appears.

3. Enter the desired values and confirm by clicking on Add.

### Maintaining Qualified URL Parameters

To maintain qualified URL parameters

1. Select the target in the left hand pane of the AMN display.

   The target’s Qualified URLs appear in the right-hand details pane:

2. Click on the icon and an edit panel appears where you can edit the Qualifier:

This section covers the following topics:

- Setting Reconnect Parameters
- Setting Basic Parameters
- Setting Advanced Parameters
- Setting JSSE Parameters
- Setting OpenSSL Parameters
- Setting RDA-MHDR Parameters

#### Setting Reconnect Parameters

Using AMN, you can set or alter the values of the `reconnect`, `retry`, and `retryint` for a qualified URL. These parameters control:

- Whether or not reconnection is attempted if the connection is disconnected due to some system failure

- The number of times the reconnection is attempted

- The interval, in seconds, between reconnection attempts.

Refer to the description given in Managing ADI in section Entire-Net-Work Administration of Using Adabas Manager for details.

#### Setting Basic Parameters

Using AMN, you can set or alter the value of the `chirpinterval` for a qualified URL. This parameter controls the interval, in seconds, at which the broadcast connection occurs. This broadcast connection is the communication mechanism used to validate the availability of the connection.

Note
The `ttl` (Time To Live) and `priority` (Message Priority) are not available at this time. They are reserved for future use.

Refer to the description given in Managing ADI in section Entire-Net-Work Administration of Using Adabas Manager for details.

#### Setting Advanced Parameters

Using AMN, you can set or alter the values of advanced parameters `raw`, `recvtimeout`, `sendtimeout`, and various custom for a qualified URL. These parameters control:

- Whether transport subsystem headers are sent

- The timeout value in seconds to receive messages on this connection

- The timeout value in seconds to send messages on this connection

- Other custom parameter either set automatically by the Software AG application for the qualified URL or with assistance from Software AG Customer Support.

Refer to the description given in Managing ADI in section Entire-Net-Work Administration of Using Adabas Manager for details.

#### Setting JSSE Parameters

Using AMN, you can set or alter the values of the Java security `KEYSTORE`, `KEYSTORE_PASSWD`, `TRUSTSTORE`, `TRUSTSTORE_PASSWD`, `VERSION`, and `VERIFY` for a qualified URL. These parameters control:

- The Java keystore to use for the SSL connection

- The password for the Java keystore

- The Java truststore to use for the SSL connection

- The password for the Java truststore

- The SSL version that should be used for the SSL connection

- The verification processing level for the SSL connection.

Refer to the description given in Managing ADI in section Entire-Net-Work Administration of Using Adabas Manager for details.

#### Setting OpenSSL Parameters

Using AMN, you can set or alter the values of the OpenSSL security `VERSION`, `VERIFY`, `RANDOM_FILE`, `CAPATH`, `CAFILE`, `CERT_FILE`, `KEY_FILE`, and `CERT_PASSWD` for a qualified URL. These parameters control:

- The SSL version that should be used for the SSL connection

- The verification processing level for the SSL connection

- The random file to use for the SSL connection

- The path for the Certificate Authority file that stores the trusted CA certificates

- The name of the Certificate Authority file that stores the trusted CA certificates

- The name of the file containing the participant's certificate

- The name of the file containing the server's private key

- The password for extracting information from the participant's certificate.

Refer to the description given in Managing ADI in section Entire-Net-Work Administration of Using Adabas Manager for details.

#### Setting RDA-MHDR Parameters

Using AMN, you can set or alter the values of the RDA `node`, `nodename`, `charset`, and `security` for a qualified URL. These parameters control:

- The node ID by which this node is known to a classic Entire Net-Work installation

- The node name by which this node is known to a classic Entire Net-Work installation

- The character encoding of the classic Entire Net-Work node associated with the URL

- The name of a security file containing a list of IP addresses authorized to access this protocol..
