The name of the machine on which Data Vault Service load balancer is running. This is identical to the HOST parameter in the [SERVER] section. If [SERVER] HOST and [AGENT] EXEHOST parameters are both present in the ssa.ini file and have different values, the value in the [SERVER] section takes precedence.

The port through which Data Vault Service load balancer and Data Vault Agent processes communicate. This is identical to the EXEPORT parameter in the [SERVER] section. If [SERVER] EXEPORT and [AGENT] EXEPORT are both present in the ssa.ini file and have different values, the value in the [SERVER] section takes precedence.

An integer value (

0

-

10

) that specifies the default priority of the local Data Vault Agent processes (where the higher the value, the greater the priority). The load balancer will always use the highest priority, non-busy Agent when delegating tasks.

For example, if Agent 1 on machine 1 has a priority level of

5

, Agent 2 on machine 2 has a priority level of

10

, and neither Agent is currently performing any tasks, the load balancer will assign the next client query to Agent 2 because it has the higher priority.

Note that this priority value can be overridden by specifying the

-p

option when starting a Data Vault Agent process.

Default is 10.

The directory path to the log file for the Data Vault Agent.

Default is

.

(current directory).

This parameter specifies whether Data Vault Agent logs are appended to (the default) or overwritten each time an Agent process is started on the same port.

Possible LOGAPPEND values:

1

or

Y

turns log appending on

0

or

N

turns log appending off

Default is 1 or Y

Represents the approximate maximum file size of a single agent log file, in MB.

For example, if you set the parameter to 10, after the agent log file reaches 10MB in size, a new log file will be created and used by agent.

Recommended value range: 1 to 2000

Default is 100 MB.
