Viewing Information about a Territory Gateway
The Territory Gateways page displays a list of territory gateways that are known to the Broker Servers in your Broker Server List. This page provides general information about the territory gateways. You can view detailed information about the territory gateway on the Territory Gateway Details page.
*To view information about a territory gateway
1. In My webMethods: Messaging >  Broker  Territories > Territory Gateways.
The Territory Gateways List displays the following information about each territory gateway that resides on a Broker Server that is part of your Broker Server List.
Column
Description
Local Territory > Remote Territory
The name of the territory gateway.
Local  Broker
The Broker that hosts the territory gateway. Click this name to display the Territory Broker Information page for that Broker.
Remote  Broker
The Broker that hosts this territory gateway's counterpart in the remote territory. Click this name to display the Territory Broker Information page for that Broker.
Status
Indicates the state of the local Broker's connection to the remote Broker as follows:
* Active. The territory gateway connection has been configured and is operational (that is, not paused).
Note:
The Active status indicates that the territory gateway connection is logically available, but it does not necessarily mean that the two territory gateway Brokers are physically connected at that point in time. To determine whether the two Brokers are physically connected, go to step 2 and examine the Linked field on the Territory Gateway Details page.
* Error. The territory gateway connection is not available for use. This state usually indicates a problem with the territory gateway configuration.
Note:
You can hover over the icon for information about the error.
* Paused. This territory gateway is paused and is not currently forwarding any documents to the other territory. For information about pausing and unpausing a territory gateway, see Pausing and Resuming a Territory Gateway.
2. Click Details to display the Territory Gateway Details page for a territory gateway. The Configuration tab on this page displays the following information:
Field
Description
Broker s are Linked
Indicates whether the Brokers that host the two territory gateways are physically connected as follows:
* Yes. Brokers are connected and able to exchange documents.
* No. This territory gateway cannot connect to the other Broker.
Status
Indicates the state of the territory gateway connection. See Status description under preceding step.
Keep Alive Interval
How often (in seconds) this territory gateway issues "keep-alive" events to the remote territory gateway. A territory gateway can use keep-alive events to prevent a firewall from disconnecting what it considers to be an idle connection. For more information about using keep-alive events, see Preventing Connection Timeouts between Territories.
If a keep-alive interval of 0 is specified, this field displays "Disabled."
Queue Length
Number of documents currently in the forward queue waiting to be retrieved by the remote territory gateway in the other territory.
Shared Document Types
Number of documents types that are shared and can, therefore, be exchanged though this territory gateway. Click this value to view the document types.
Authentication Type
Indicates whether this gateway is SSL-enabled.
*None. The gateway is not SSL-enabled. The Broker Server on which it is hosted does not have an SSL identity and, therefore, the gateway cannot interact with the remote gateway using SSL. It will connect to the remote gateway using the non-SSL port.
*SSL. The gateway is SSL-enabled. The Broker Server on which it is hosted has an SSL identity and it can interact with the remote gateway using SSL.
Access Control
Indicates whether this gateway is secured with an access control list (ACL).
An access control list is assigned to this gateway. For more information about configuring an ACL on a gateway, see Territory Gateway ACLs.
An ACL has not been assigned to this gateway. To create one, you must have an SSL identity that belongs to the "admin" client group for the Broker that hosts this gateway.
Static Gateway Forwarding
Specifies whether this gateway maintains a static or dynamic subscription list for the remote territory. For more information about selecting a forwarding mode, see Configuring the Forwarding Mode.
Encryption
Specifies whether this gateway will encrypt its interactions with the remote gateway.
Refuse All Shared Document Type Updates
Specifies whether this gateway accepts document-type updates from the remote territory. For more information about allowing or blocking updates to document type definitions, see Refusing Document-Type Updates.
