Editing a Server's Configuration (Magic xpi 3.x)
To edit the Magic xpi server's configuration:
-
Right-click the server icon in the Topology pane, and select Properties. The Server Properties dialog box opens. The Server Properties dialog box has two tabs.
-
Click the General tab to edit the properties that you defined when you first configured the server. The properties under the General tab are:
|
|
|
|
ID
|
An internal identifier number generated automatically.
|
|
Name
|
Enter a name for the Magic xpi server. This field is mandatory. You assign a name to a server to identify it when you assign a server to components and services in flows. The name of the server appears in the Servers List that is used to select a server for Flow Components or Magic xpi Services.
|
|
Type
|
The choices are Performance or Peripheral.
This field is for information only and helps you understand the different server types you need in your project. You must have at least one Performance server. A Performance server can run up to 35 parallel flows. Peripheral servers provide support for an additional number of parallel flows that can run. This can be a smaller number than the full Performance server, which reduces the price.
|
|
Description
|
Enter a description of the server. This is for internal purposes and helps the user identify the purpose for the server in the system.
|
|
Location
|
Enter the physical location of the server. For example: First floor Server Room.
|
|
Platform
|
Enter the type of operating system on which the server will run, such as Linux, NT, AIX, Solaris, HP, and IBM i.

Operation Mode
|
This section lets you define remote services for your project. Remote services are used when there is more than one Magic xpi server used in an integration project. In this case, you can choose to use different servers for all or some of the following services:
The Operation Mode lets you distribute the load among various servers. For example, you can choose to put all of the services on one server and run your flows on another. You can put only one of the services on a server and run the rest on a different server. This allows you to set up your Magic xpi project so that it runs in the most effective way.
To configure your server to provide remote services:
-
Select the service that you want to assign to a remote server.
-
Click  to the right of the service name to select a server that will provide the service to the server being configured.
|
|
Clear Mode
|
This section lets you define what information the server should clear when it starts up. By default, the Magic xpi server clears the data for the following services at startup:
You can configure the Magic xpi server to retain the information for these services. In this case, any information entered into these services in earlier sessions is retained when the server starts. You can configure the server to retain information for any or all of these services by clearing the check box next to a service.
|
|
Miscellaneous
|
This section lets you configure the following:
-
Server log location: Enter the path of the log file for the server you are configuring. You can also select the relevant log file by clicking  . If you enter a relative path, the Magic xpi folder is used as the root folder. If the log file is not in the Magic xpi folder, enter the full path. The default value of the log file is \ifs.log.
