NonStop Server for Java (NSJ) Programmer's Guide (NSJ 2.0+)

SIP Distributor
The SIP distributor runs as a single server in a TS/MP server class. If a program has more than one SIP server (and
therefore, more than one server class), a SIP distributor is created for each server class.
If you use the configuration tool to configure the SIP server (or servers) in a TS/MP application, the configuration
tool automatically configures the SIP distributor (or distributors).
Because a SIP distributor runs under TS/MP, PATHMON restarts the distributor if it fails (for example, due to a
processor failure).
During its initialization routine, a SIP distributor binds itself to one or more specified ports (this is called a TCP/IP
socket bind). The SIP distributor acts as a proxy for the SIP server, listening on any ports that the SIP server would
listen on if it had no proxy.
The SIP distributor continues to wait for requests until you stop the distributor. To stop the distributor and its
associated SIP server, either use the configuration tool or use the PATHCOM stop server command. To stop
only the distributor, use the PATHCOM stop server command.
SIP Tools
To use the SIP tools, follow this procedure:
Start sipconf.1.
Access the tools through a browser.2.
The SIP tools are:
Configuration tool, which configures a new SIP application●
Reconfiguration tool, which reconfigures an existing SIP application●
Management Tool, which manages and views the attributes of an existing SIP application●
Starting sipconf
sipconf resides in /usr/tandem/java/bin. To start your own copy of sipconf, use the following
command:
/usr/tandem/java/bin/sipconf -t \$tcpip-transport-name -p port -e errlog [-noa]
Where:
tcpip-transport-name
is the name of the tcpip process; for example, $ZTC0 or $ZTC00.
port
is an unused port number.
errlog
is is the absolute file name of a file to which sipconf will write information if an error occurs.
You must have write access to the directory associated with that file.
-noa
means that no user authentication will be done. If you omit this option, you must enter your name
and password whenever you access the SIP tools through a browser.
