The two entries RMILeaseValue and RMICheckInterval configure regular checks of the RMI connection in milliseconds and should only be modified in exceptional cases.
The entry RMIHandshakeTimeout indicates the time in milliseconds that an RMI client waits for the response of an RMI server before it throws an exception in case of a failed connection and aborts the connection. The setting globally applies to the RMI communication between all PPM components of all clients.
By removing the entry from the file or setting the value to less than 0 you can restore the standard Java behavior. If you set the value to 0, no timeout at all occurs. We recommend a value of 15 minutes (=900000ms) for limiting the time for failed connections.
The UseSSL key determines whether an unencrypted protocol – value = false – or the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol – value = true – is used for RMI data transmission in the PPM system. Additional SSL encryption settings are specified in the SSL_settings.properties file.
The CorbaServerActivationPort key specifies the port that can be used to transfer the runtime information and control instructions for Corba objects.
Both the RMI and Corba registry servers start their services under the IP addressed assigned by the DNS system to the specified computer name.
The ports are set during the installation and are 17500 for the RMI registry and 17590 for the CORBA registry. The values for the host name and the ports can be changed using Cloud Controller. Details can be found in the PPM Operation Guide in the Administration/Configuration chapter.
PPM client servers that have been started create RMI objects, and if necessary, Corba objects, and register these objects in the registry servers with the port numbers that were specified in the client-specific settings files RMIServer_settings.properties and Corba_settings.properties.
If multiple network cards are installed in the PPM server computer, specify the IP address of the desired network card, in whose network you want the PPM to be available, instead of the computer name. You can specify the setting using Cloud Controller. Details can be found in the PPM Operation Guide in the Administration/Configuration chapter.
You can change the URLs for the Corba and RMI registry server using Cloud Controller. Details can be found in the PPM Operation Guide in the Administration/Configuration chapter.
