Server settings

You can apply the default settings of the wizard for the various servers or customize them in line with your system requirements.

Client server

Each client server access the network via a particular computer address (network adapter) and individual port. You can assign each port number only once with one computer address. If necessary, you must unlock the port in the firewall.

If the computer has several network adapters you can assign each client a different address and use the same port for all client servers.

If no particular network adapter address is specified all network adapters are handled the same way. In this case, each client must be assigned an individual port.

Procedure

  1. Specify the qualified computer name (e.g., localhost) or the IP address (e.g., 172.16.0.15) of a network adapter.
  2. Click Check availability to test the availability of the specified port.
  3. If required, change the preset Client server port in the input box.
  4. Set the Memory configuration for the client server.

    You can select between various default settings or specify your own values for minimum and maximum reserved memory.

    We recommend the Default setting for average systems. You can specify any value from at least 64 MB as user-defined memory. You must specify one value each for minimum and maximum memory.

Analysis server

Procedure

  1. Click Check availability to test the availability of the specified port.
  2. If required, change the preset Analysis server port in the input box.
  3. In the Maximum memory (MB) input box, specify the maximum RAM requirements to be reserved for the analysis server.

    Maximum memory depends on your system configuration, i.e., on your operating system (64-bit only), the JVM used, and the size of the available physical RAM. Also, the size of reserved memory depends on the client's data volume to be analyzed, e.g., number of process instances, dimensions, and measures.

    For further information please contact your PPM system administrator.

  4. In the Minimum memory (MB) input box, specify the minimum RAM requirements to be reserved for the analysis server.

    By default, the value of the maximum memory is assigned to the minimum memory. The minimum memory requirement is at least 64 MB.

  5. Click Additional settings to set the temporary memory for Java Garbage Collection and other parameters.

Corba server

Procedure

  1. Click Check availability to test the availability of the specified port.
  2. If required, change the preset CORBA server port in the input box.

JVM parameters of server programs

You can change the default JVM parameters for memory configuration and customize them in line with your requirements. Set the minimum and maximum memory requirement and specify optional JVM parameters.

Procedure

  1. If you want to change the default values of the JVM parameters, enable the option Apply special JVM parameters and click Configure JVM parameters.
  2. Select a predefined memory configuration for each server program, or select the User-defined option to set the minimum and maximum memory requirements yourself.
  3. If required, specify additional memory configuration parameters in the More JVM parameters box.
  4. Click OK.

Your changes will be saved in the corresponding server program files.

Operation mode

You can operate the client server in Default, Master, or Sub-server mode.

A combination of master and one or more sub-servers enables you to distribute data in a scaled system. Data analytics is not supported in this scenario.

Procedure

  1. Click Change.
  2. Specify your settings.
  3. Click Next.

Your settings are applied.
