Modes

Modes

This section provides information on the modes you can connect.

Configure Mode

Configure Mode is used to run the Installation tests.
When the Console Client is run, it interrogates the Server to determine the Server’s mode of operation. If the Server is in
Configure
 mode, the Client initiates the setup process by displaying several dialogs. The user is prompted to supply the required information such as the user’s database name.
The user should fill in each of the required fields and then click
Finish
. The console will then go through the steps involved in completing the installation of MDM-RE.
These include:
  • creating and initializing a Rulebase
  • running the standard tests
This serves to confirm that the MDM-RE installation is working correctly. Upon successful completion, the Server and Client change to
normal
 mode of operation. The Client can then be used to carry out normal MDM-RE operations. There is no need to restart either the Client or the Server.
On the other hand, if an error should occur, the Server remains in
Configure
 mode and the install process can be repeated if required.

Normal Mode

When the Console Client is started it connects to the Console Server determined by the
-h
 parameter, if supplied, or to the default Console Server. It then determines from the Server the mode of operation.
If the mode of operation is not Configure Mode, the Client presents a dialog to the user that contains a list of user-settable variables. These variables are described below.
Rulebase Name
The name of the Rulebase to be used.
Work Directory
The name of the directory on the server’s machine where output files will be placed. This field is mandatory. Note that this value can be set using the
-w
 command line option.
Client Work Directory
This defines the name of the Work Directory to be used by Client programs. If specified, it must specify a directory which is accessible to the machine on which the Client is running. At present, this parameter is used only by the Relate Client. So, if you are not planning to run the Relate Client, then there is no need to supply this parameter.
Service Group Directory
When a new System is created, MDM-RE will look in this directory for any required SSA-NAME3 v1.8 service groups (in the form of
.dat
 files). This value can be overridden by a parameter in the
Create System
 dialog. This parameter should be left blank if SSA-NAME3 v1.8 is not used.
Rulebase Server
The name of the host where the Rulebase Server to be used during this session is running.
Port
The port number on which the Rulebase Server is listening.
Connection Server
The name of the host where the Connection Server to be used during this session is running.
Port
The port number on which the Connection Server is listening.
Search Server
The name of the host where the Search Server to be used during this session is running.
Port
The port number on which the Search Server is listening.
Statistics
If selected, the log files will include statistics.
Usage Summary
Select this option to produce database usage statistics.
Server Trace
If selected the Console Server produces verbose output. This is for troubleshooting purposes and should normally be disabled.
Live Progress
Check this option to see the live progress every time an action is performed.
All the above variables are used by the Console Server to service requests from the Client. Therefore, care should be taken to see that the values are correct. The user should make any required changes and click
OK
. At this point, the Main Console Window is displayed.
