CORBA 2.6.1 Administration Guide

Parallel
Library
TCP/IP
Server Configuration Options
Property Description
Maximum
servers
If the check box for Use Parallel Library TCP/IP is not checked, this field is set to one. If it is checked, you may
specify the number of servers.
Static
servers
If the check box for Use Parallel Library TCP/IP is not checked, this field is set to one. If it is checked, this field is set
to match the number of Maximum Servers you specify. Or if you enter a number of Static Servers, the Maximum
Servers field will be set to match what you enter here.
Process
name
Name of the server process. If you do not choose a name, the system assigns one when the process starts. If the
check box for Use Parallel Library TCP/IP is checked you must enter at least as many names as the number of
servers that have been specified.
Processors List of CPUs in which server processes can run. Separate the CPU numbers with commas; for example, 1,2,5. If you
do not specify a list of CPUs, the system runs server processes in any available CPU. Specifying certain CPUs
requires the system to use only the CPUs in the list. If the check box for Use Parallel Library TCP/IP is checked you
must enter at least as many CPU numbers as the number of servers that have been specified. This field cannot
contain duplicate CPU numbers.
Process
priority
Priority at which the server process is run. The range of values is 1 through 199, the highest priority being 199.
Autorestart
attempts
Number of attempts to restart the server process, in the event of its abnormal termination. The maximum number is
32767.
Log file
name
Name of the file to which server process output is written.
Comm Server Properties
The Comm Server is a router that allows remote clients to communicate with application servers on a host system. A remote client uses a single
port to access any number of application servers. (In some other products, a separate port is required for each application to which a client
connects.) Allowing connections to multiple application servers through one port reduces network resource consumption. Network resource use
can be important when a large number of remote clients request server resources. A single Comm Server can handle requests from many
remote clients. As requests increase, you can configure additional Comm Servers to balance the load.
If Parallel Library TCP/IP has been enabled on the General tab, the fields available for specifying Comm Server properties differ. The properties
for each option are listed separately in the following tables.
Comm Server Properties for Original TCP/IP
Number of Comm Servers
Basic Configuration
Server Configuration Options
Troubleshooting Options
Number of Comm Servers
Property Description
Number of Comm
Servers
As the client requests increase, you can increase the number of Comm Servers to handle the additional
load.
Basic Server Configuration
Property Description
Comm
server
Number of the Comm Server for which you want to view or configure properties.
Dedicated
servers
If checked, the specified Comm Server is designated as a dedicated server. When the Location Service Daemon
(LSD) maps external clients to Comm Servers and is looking for the least busy Comm Server, the LSD excludes any
dedicated Comm Servers from the search. A dedicated Comm Server is used only if it has a manually entered Comm
Server mapping.
Host
address
IP address of the host system on which the server is listening. The host systems available in the drop-down list are
those managed by the selected TCP process.
