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. are written in red letters.
Section/Parameter |
Description |
---|---|
[GLOBAL] |
|
name= |
The agent name is limited to 32 of the following characters: "A-Z", "0-9", "_", ".", "$", "@", "-" and "#". Hyphens ("-") are only allowed in agent names. They must not be used in the names of any other objects.Although agent names are limited to 32 characters, you should keep them under 25 characters. The last seven characters are used for adding the suffix '.NEW.nn' when a new agent is created from its template. |
system= |
AE system nameName of the Automation Engine instance to which a user is connected. |
language= |
Language for the logging Allowed values: "E" (default value), "D" (German), "F" |
logging= |
Path and file name of the log file The number signs serve as placeholders for a series in numerical order. When starting the agent, 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 |
max_logging_kb= |
Maximum size of the log file A new log file is created when the size specified here has been reached. |
helplib= |
Path and name of message file |
checkRegisteredFile= |
This optional field is available for OEBS agents used in a multi node system with different operating systems. In this case, this variableIt stores or retrieves values dynamically at runtime. An individual Automation Engine object type. should be set to 0 and no check will be performed. Therefore, the RA agent can register files that may not be valid file names on the OS where the RA agent runs. Allowed values: "0" and "1" (default value) "0" = Registered files are not checked. |
[AUTHORIZATION] | |
InitialPackage= |
The name and the path of the file that includes the authentication package (company-key file). This parameter must be specified if you use the authentication methods "Server" or "Server and Agent". Any attempt to log in fails if the company-key file cannot be found. When the agent starts, it reads the company-key file and stores its information in the file that is specified in the parameter KeyStore=. The first file is deleted afterward. |
KeyStore= |
The name and the path of the file that includes the information of the authentication packageA Package is an instance (a version, a revision, a tag, …) of your application and defines the content which you want to deploy. Here you decide, if you want to deploy the entire application or just a few specified components. (see parameter InitialPackage=). If no file name and/or path is specified, the system uses the name (file ending *.kstr) or the path of the agent's INI file. If you define a file name, the ending *.kstr is not automatically appended. The KeyStore file is created when the agent starts for the first time. You must not delete, rename or move it subsequently. Regardless of the authentication method that you use, any attempt to log in will fail if the agent cannot find this file when it starts. In this case, you must open the menu item "Renew transfer key" in the affected agent's System Overview. Java agents (SAP, RA, databaseA database is an organized collection of data including relevant data structures. and JMX) that run under UNIX create a keystore file with the following right: "-rw-r--r—". In doing so, other OS users can also access this file. |
[RA] |
|
cache_directory= |
Directory to which the agent should store the RA Solutions. |
[TCP/IP] |
|
bindaddr= |
IP address or hostComputer, target system. name for communication processA communication process is part of the component Automation Engine. It is responsible for connecting the components. connection Use this parameter when the connection should be established via a particular IP address (e.g. the computer has more than one network interface card). |
connect= |
Time interval in seconds in which the agent attempts to establish connection to the Automation Engines. Affects the connection setup for a restartA restart refers to the repetition of an object's execution. This action differs from a new start in some parts. or after a lost connection. Default value: 60 seconds This parameter is only effective until the first successful logon to the AE system. Afterwards, the parameter RECONNECT_TIME can be used in the host characteristics. |
cp= |
Address of the communication process in the AE system to which the agent should connect itself. Allowed formats: |
[VARIABLES] |
This section contains agent variables with agent information and settings. |
[TRACE] |
|
file= |
Path and file name of the trace file The number signs serve as placeholders 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 |
max_trace_kb= |
Maximum size of the trace file A new trace file is created when the size specified here has been reached. |
tcp/ip= |
Trace flag of the agent Allowed values: "0" (default value) to "9" Set trace flags only in close cooperation with our support team. |
ra= |
Trace flag of the Rapid Automation agent Allowed values: "0" (default value) to "12" "0" = Rapid Automation trace-file writing is deactivated. |
[CP_LIST] |
List of communication processes This listShows entities in a grid view is created when the agent starts and extended when new communication processes are activated. More detailed information about establishing a connection is provided in the chapter Multi-Server Operation. The communication process which has been defined in the parameter cp= (section [TCP/IP]) is not included in the cp list. Format: |
