Device Manager server properties
187
CAUTION: You should not undertake the task of optimizing these attributes unless you are an
expert, since minor changes could severely impact the performance of the Device Manager
server.
• Logger properties (see section 8-4 ) include directives that configure the Device Manager
server's logging module, including the names, locations and verbosity levels of the various
operation and error log files.
• Dispatcher properties (see section 8-5 ) include properties that allow the fine-tuning of various
background processes (daemons) and the optimization of the thread-priority for service agents.
• MIME properties (see section 8-6 ) include the translation/lookup table for all Multipurpose
Internet Mail Extensions (MIME) file types recognized by the Device Manager server.
• Client properties (see section 8-7 ) include properties that configure the Device Manager web
client.
• SNMP trap log output function properties (see section 8-9 ) include whether to enable Device
Manager to use the SNMP trap function and whether to customize the trap list.
• Mainframe host agent properties (see section 8-10 ) include the settings for communication
between the Device Manager server and mainframe hosts.
• Report function properties (see section 8-11 ) include the properties that you must set to use
the report function.
The property files for the Device Manager server are in Java property file format, and can be edited
by using a text editor. Each property directive consists of a name-value pair separated by the equal
sign (for example, foo.bar=12345). The appropriate end-of-line terminator, as defined by the
operating system, delineates individual properties.
Comments in Device Manager property files are tagged using the (#) at the start of a line. Literals
(text strings or numeric values) do not need to be quoted. Boolean values can be either true or false
(case-insensitive). Any other setting (for example, yes) is interpreted as false.
The backslash is a reserved character in Java property files, and is used for escaping various
control characters such as tabs, line-feeds, etc. On Windows platforms absolute pathnames
typically contain backslash characters, and must be backslash-escaped, for example, the file
pathname c:\CVXPAE\docroot\foo.bar should be entered as
c:\\CVXPAE\\docroot\\foo.bar. There is generally no need to backslash-escape any other
characters in the property directives.
CAUTION: As a general rule, server properties should not need to be modified. Use extreme
caution when you are modifying the configuration properties, because you can cause the server to
fail or to function incorrectly. Do not modify server properties unless you have sufficient expertise
to understand the potential consequences.
