The Real Time Web Service is provided by the Synchronization Server. Therefore, The Synchronization Server must be running. This is achieved by allocating the server’s host name (

SSA_XSHOST

) and port number (

SSA_XSPORT

) in

env\isss.bat

(Windows) or

env/isss

(UNIX). The default port number of the Synchronization Server is 1671.

The configuration process consists of creating a simple text file named either

xrserv.ini

or

xrserv.xml

. The file extensions represent the two different formats that the configuration file may take.

The file must be located in either

$SSAINI

,

$HOME

or

$SSABIN

. These 3 directories are searched in that order. If the configuration file is not found, then the Real Time Web Service will not be available.

The contents of the configuration file determine which IDTs will be synchronized by the Service.

The

xrserv.ini

form has the same format as the

htserv.ini

file used by the HTTP Search Server. Refer to the

HTTP Search Client

section of the

OPERATIONS Guide

for instructions on how to use this format.

Since this is a Web Service, the XML format is recommended.
