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
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
Maximum memory depends on your system configuration, for example, 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, for example, number of process instances, dimensions, and measures.
For further information please contact your PPM system administrator.
By default, the value of the maximum memory is assigned to the minimum memory. The minimum memory requirement is at least 64 MB.
Web service
You can specify the port number of the web service that the PPM analysis client uses to communicate with the PPM server. CTK automatically sets an available port. If no client has been installed yet, the default port for the web service is 17651.
Procedure
Parameters of import programs
You can select a predefined import scenario. The scenario Small, Medium, and Large are available. If you do not select a scenario, the Small scenario is set by default. The import scenarios are used by the import programs runxmlimport, runppmimport, runpikidata, and runppmcompress.
Procedure
Select an import scenario in the Import configuration drop-down menu.
Details can be found in the documentation PPM Data Import.
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.
If you are installing a scaled system, we recommend not to set up a firewall between sub- and master-server.
Procedure
Your settings are applied.
