CHAPTER 5
ADU SERVER CONFIGURATION
System Considerations
The Max Active Adus configuration parameter, described below, should be set with consideration for system capability. The number of ADUs that can be effectively handled by the ADU Server is proportional to the system's available memory and processor speed. A typical ADU requires 40K in memory. Active agent sessions might require 60K or more. Memory can be conserved by using the same data names in many ADUs. The memory space for name storage is shared. The memory used for storage of values, however, is not affected.
Processor usage may be decreased by setting values in groups as opposed to one at a time. When possible, gather sets of name/value pairs and apply them all at the same time.
ADU Server Alias Name
When setting an alias name for the ADU Server, note that the name “localADU” is reserved. In a WAN environment, it is used to segregate an ADU Server that has been taken offline. Refer to IC Administration Volume 1: Servers & Domains for information on setting alias names for servers.
Configuration Parameters
The ADU Server is configured through the IC Manager. Refer to IC Administration Volume 1: Servers & Domains for configuration instructions. The following table lists the label used when configuring with IC Manager, followed in parentheses by the parameter name as it is required internally by the server.
Label | Description |
|
|
Checkpoint frequency | Minimum interval period in seconds between requests to checkpoint a specified ADU |
(checkpoint.interval) | into the DUStore server. A value of |
|
|
Idle Time | Number of minutes an ADU may remain inactive before being terminated. The default |
(idletime) | is 90 minutes. Minimum is 1 minute, maximum is 30 days. |
