ServiceManager - Service

The ServiceManagerA program that facilitates the starts and stops of Automation Engine components. serves to start, stop and access components such as the Automation EngineThis component drives an Automation Engine system and consists of different types of server processes. processes or agents from a central point.

The parameters of the ServiceManager (Service) are the same for Windows and UNIX.

Default values have been specified for most parameters. They can be changed if required. Parameters which must be adjusted to your system environmentAn Environment consists of Deployment Targets which represent your endpoints. Different environments are used for different phases in the software delivery cycle, for example Development, QA, Staging, Production. An environment is typically set up once and used by several applications. at any case are written in red letters.

Structure of the INI File UCYBSMGR.INI

Section/Parameter Description
[GLOBAL]  
language=

Language in which logging is carried out. Entries for primary and secondary language.

Allowed values: "E", "D", "F"
Default: "E,D" (Primary language English, secondary language German)

If there is no message in the primary language, the secondary language will be searched for a message.

logging= Path and file name of the log file.

The number signs serve as place holders for a series in numerical order. When starting the ServiceManager, the log files are renamed so that the most current log file is always the one with the number "00".

logcount=

Number of stored log files.

helplib=

Path and name of the message file.

helpcache= Availability of the messages and language dependant strings.

Allowed values: "ALL", "NONE", "CONTROLS"
Default: "ALL"

"ALL" = The complete message file is held in the RAM.
"NONE" = Always read from the hard drive.
"CONTROLS" = All language-dependant strings which are necessary for the display of the dialog program are held in the RAM (not relevant for the ServiceManager).

port=

Port number of the ServiceManager.

restartA restart refers to the repetition of an object's execution. This action differs from a new start in some parts._limit=

Maximum number of automatic start attempts which are processed for a server processThe core of the component Automation Engine. Different types are available: communication, work and dialog processes, as well as nonstop processes. within a particular time span.

When the ServiceManager runs under UNIX, an automatic restart takes place for all specified programs (server processes, agents) that end with SIGABRT. The limitation to server processes does not apply in this case.

Format: (period in minutes,number of start attempts)

Default value: (60,3)

The ServiceManager attempts to restart the server process which has been ended after the occurrence of an invalid message. This parameter specifies the maximum number of attempts within a time span.

passwordA secret combination of characters for a Automation Engine user.=

Encrypted password of the ServiceManager dialog program

This parameter stores the password you determine via the ServiceManager dialog program'sinterface in encrypted form.

reuseaddr=

If you set this parameter to "1" the ServiceManager on restart can reuse a port it previously had connected to. Thus restarting the ServiceManager will be faster.

Allowed values: "1"

Default value: "0"

[TRACE]

 

file= Path and file name of the trace file.

The number signs serve as place holders for a series in numerical order. When starting a trace, the trace files will be renamed so that the most current trace file is always the one with the number "00".

trccount=

Number of stored trace files.

cmd=

Trace-flag commands.

Allowed values: "0" to "9"
Default value: "0"

[Destination Phrase]

Section for definition of a ServiceManager environment.

Default value: "UC4"

deffile= Name of the SMD file in which the AE services within the starting sequence are defined.

The path specification "*OWN" designates its own path and is important here as it has to do with a service.

cmdfile= Name of the file which contains commands for the ServiceManager.

This file is automatically applied by the ServiceManager during initial startup and also updated later on. This file is not to be edited manually!

"*OWN" must be used here as a path specification as well.
