Adapter Settings

Changing Settings

graphics/info_settings_change.png

The first part of this screen shows the current level of EntireX Tracing.

The second part shows the setting for the Date and Time format patterns. You can change these values with the Change Settings link. This has immediate effect. For the Date and Time format patterns, the syntax of the Java class java.text.SimpleDateFormat is used. Localized date and time pattern strings are also supported. In these strings, the pattern letters described above may be replaced with other, locale-dependent, pattern letters using the specified locale. The default value appears when a field is left empty.

Further Setting Options for Tracing

The adapter uses the logging facility of the Integration Server. The facility code is "0800" for the EntireX Adapter. The logging level specifies the amount of data logged. These log entries are written to the server log file.

Connections Information

This screen displays the following sections about connections and listeners.

Broker Information
The status of all brokers used in the connections. A green dot shows that a connection to the broker is successful. As status, the version and the operating system platform is displayed. A red dot shows that a connection to the broker is not possible. As status, the error message is displayed.
Connections for Services
The status of the external servers such as RPC Server, IMS Connect, CICS IPIC and CICS ECI used by the connections for adapter services. A green dot shows that connection to the RPC server is successful and the status information from the server is displayed. A red dot shows that a connection to the RPC server or to the Broker is not possible. As status, the error message is displayed. The current number of connection instances is shown in column Count.
Connections for Listeners
For each Listener the corresponding name of the connection, Broker ID, and server address is displayed.

Built-in Services for Connections Information

The information on connections and listeners shown on the IS Administration Console's page is available with built-in services. The following services are available in the WmEntireX package. Parameters are either input or output (I/O).

Service Parameter I/O Description

pub.wmentirex.connectioninfo:brokerInfo

The service retrieves the status of the broker given in the broker ID.
Use pub.wmentirex.connectioninfo:brokerList before to get the list of broker IDs used in all connections.

brokerID String

ID of the broker to be pinged.

refreshData String I The number of milliseconds to refresh the data. If refreshData is null or not a number, the default of 10 seconds is used.

errorFlag String O "true" if an error occurred, "false" if the call succeeded.

message String O The result of the ping call to the broker.

pub.wmentirex.connectioninfo:brokerList

The service retrieves the list of all broker IDs configured in the connections.

refreshData String

The number of milliseconds to refresh the data. If refreshData is null or not a number, the default of 10 seconds is used.

brokerID String[] O The array of broker IDs.

pub.wmentirex.connectioninfo:listenerList

The service retrieves name, broker ID and server address for each listener.

refreshData String

The number of milliseconds to refresh the data. If refreshData is null or not a number, the default of 10 seconds is used.

listeners IData[] O The array of IData objects containing three strings name, brokerID, serverAddress for each listener.

pub.wmentirex.connectioninfo:serviceInfo

The service retrieves the result of the ping call for the connection.

connection String

The name of the connection to ping, e.g. "folder:name".

refreshData String I The number of milliseconds to refresh the data. If refreshData is null or not a number, the default of 10 seconds is used.

errorFlag String O "true" if an error occurred, "false" if the call succeeded.

message String O The result of the ping call to the connection.

pub.wmentirex.connectioninfo:serviceList

The service retrieves the connection names.
One of these names can be used as input for pub.wmentirex.connectioninfo:serviceInfo

refreshData String

The number of milliseconds to refresh the data. If refreshData is null or not a number, the default of 10 seconds is used.

connections String[] O The array of connection names in the format folder:connection.

Support Information

Connections, adapter services and adapter listeners contain metadata that is generated during deployment of connections and services. Use the service pub.wmentirex.supportinfo:createInfo to extract this metadata for support purposes and error diagnosis.

Service Parameter I/O Description

pub.wmentirex.supportinfo:createInfo

The service extracts the generated metadata from all connections and adapter services in a package and writes this to a file in the folder <IntegrationServer_instance>/packages/WmEntireX/resources.

packageName String

The name of a package. The generated metadata for all connections, adapter services and adapter listeners in this package is written to a file.

result String O File <filename> created on host <hostname>.

Services Information

This screen shows statistics about the adapter services of the EntireX Adapter. Only services that have been executed at least once during the runtime of the Integration Server are shown.

The following information is shown for each service:

name of the service
corresponding program name
number of successful calls
number of erroneous calls
average processing time in milliseconds (only successful calls)
time of last access
processing time in milliseconds for the last call
status of last call (detailed error message if the last call failed)

Note:
All these items except the service name can be reset with the link "Reset Statistics".

Listeners Information

This screen shows statistics about the listeners of the EntireX Adapter. For each listener, all services that have been invoked at least once during the runtime of the Integration Server are shown.

The following information is shown for each service invoked by a listener:

name of the listener
subprogram name and service name separated by '/'
number of successful calls
number of erroneous calls
average processing time in milliseconds (only successful calls)
time of last access
processing time in milliseconds for the last call
status of last call (detailed error message if the last call failed)

Note:
All these items except the listener and subprogram/service name can be reset with the link Reset Statistics.

License Information

This screen has two parts:

EntireX License Information
Adabas Replication License Information

EntireX License Information

The first part of this screen shows information on the EntireX license used by the EntireX Adapter.

Valid until: values are a date specification or "Unlimited".
License for CICS IPIC connections: "Yes" or "No"
License for CICS ECI connections: "Yes" or "No"
License for CICS Socket Listener connections: "Yes" or "No"
License for IMS Connect connections: "Yes" or "No".
License for Direct RPC connections: "Yes" or "No".
License for COBOL Converter connections: "Yes" or "No".
License for AS/400 connections: "Yes" or "No".
License for EntireX Broker connections: "Yes" or a message that indicates a possible license coverage mismatch.
Error message (only if the license is not granted).

Notes:

This license file for the EntireX Adapter is always named "license.entirex.xml" and resides in directory IntegrationServer/instances/<instance_name>/config.
If this file does not exist and an EntireX license file is available in the same suite installation the EntireX Adapter will copy the EntireX license file during startup to the location mentioned in ⁽¹⁾.
You can specify the location of a license file (file name with folder) with the Change Settings link. The EntireX Adapter will copy this license file to the location mentioned in ⁽¹⁾.
If a license file is copied to the location mentioned in ⁽¹⁾, it is renamed to "license.entirex.xml" if necessary.

Adabas Replication License Information

The second part of this screen shows information on the Adabas Replication license used by the EntireX Adapter.

This license file for the EntireX Adapter is always named "license.reptor_entirex.xml" and resides in directory IntegrationServer/instances/<instance_name>/config.
You can specify the location of a license file (file name with folder) with the Change Settings link. The EntireX Adapter will copy this license file to the location mentioned in ⁽¹⁾.
If a license file is copied to the location mentioned in ⁽¹⁾, it is renamed to "license.reptor_entirex.xml" if necessary.
