Fast Clone provides a predefined server configuration file, server.ini, in the top-level Fast Clone installation directory. You can edit this file to override the default Fast Clone Server settings.
The Fast Clone Server configuration file contains the following parameters to control how the Fast Clone Server runs.
Parameter Descriptions
allow_local_output_directories=
list_of_directories
Identifies the directories on the Fast Clone Server system to which Fast Clone can write output files. You can include the question mark (?) and asterisk (*) wildcards to define a mask that matches multiple directories. When you define the cloning configuration file, unload.ini, ensure that the path and directory name that you specify in the
Output directory
field matches one of directories in this list.
Default value: Asterisk (*)
allow_remote_extraction_hosts=
list_of_hosts
Identifies the hosts from which the Fast Clone Server can receive the cloning configuration files for remote unload processing. Enter the IP addresses or host names, separated by a semicolon. You can include the question mark (?) and asterisk (*) wildcards to define a mask for the hosts. Enter only the asterisk (*) wildcard to configure the Fast Clone Server to receive unload configuration files from any remote host.
Indicates whether the Fast Clone Server can receive unload requests from remote systems that have a Fast Clone instance. Valid values are:
true
. The Fast Clone Server can receive unload requests from a remote Fast Clone instance and run the unload jobs. For example, if you run the Fast Clone Console on a standalone system, the Fast Clone Server accepts unload requests and associated configuration files from the Fast Clone Console and runs the unload jobs.
false
. The Fast Clone Server does not accept unload requests from a remote Fast Clone instance. Enter this value for security purposes. This value ensures that the Fast Clone Server does not accept unload requests from a remote system that is not your data-cloning topology.
Default value: true
allow_recieve_remote_files={true|
false
}
Indicates whether the Fast Clone Server can receive output files from a remote Fast Clone system. Valid values are:
true
. The Fast Clone Server can receive output data files from another system for load processing. Use this option for a Fast Clone Server that you run on the target database system to receive output files from the source database system.
false
. If you run data load jobs on the system where Fast Clone produces the output files, or if you manually transmit the output files to the target system, enter this value for security purposes. This value ensures that the Fast Clone Server does not accept output files from a remote system that is not in your data-cloning topology.
You can specify the
allow_recieve_remote_files_hosts
parameter to identify the host systems from which the Fast Clone Server can receive output files.
Default value: false
allow_recieve_remote_files_hosts=
list_of_hosts
Identifies the hosts from which the Fast Clone Server can receive output files. Enter the IP addresses or host names, separated by a semicolon. You can include the question mark (?) and asterisk (*) wildcards to define a mask. Enter only the asterisk (*) wildcard to enable the Fast Clone Server to receive output files from any remote host.
Specifies the IP addresses of the remote Fast Clone instances for which the Fast Clone Server listens for incoming requests. Enter 0.0.0.0 for all IPv4 addresses or [::] for all IPv6 addresses.
Default value: 0.0.0.0
listener_port=
port_number
Specifies the port on which the Fast Clone Server listens for incoming requests. Valid values are from 1 through 65535.
Default value: 5521
log={true|
false
}
Indicates whether the Fast Clone Server writes informational and error messages to a log file. Options are:
true
. The Fast Clone Server creates a log file in the directory that you specify in the
logdir
parameter.
false
. The Fast Clone Server does not use a log file.
Default value: false
logdir=
directory_path
If you set the
log
parameter to true, specifies the directory where the Fast Clone Server creates the message log file.
Default value:
C:\\temp on Windows
/tmp on Linux and UNIX
log_level=
n
If you set the
log
parameter to true, specifies the verbose level for the Fast Clone Server logged output. Larger values provide more detailed output. Valid values are from 0 through 4.
Default value: 0
max_connections=
n
Specifies the maximum number of Fast Clone client connections to the Fast Clone Server. Valid values are from 1 through 3000.
