Default Configuration

Default Configuration

This section provides steps on how to start the MDM-RE Servers.
  1. To start MDM-RE Servers in the default configuration, click the
    Start Server
     icon in the Informatica program group (Win32), or run the shell script
    $SSABIN/idsup
     (UNIX platforms).
    The default configuration starts a Console, Connection and combined Rulebase/Search Server. This configuration is suitable for most users. Errors encountered during startup are recorded in the server installation’s
    iirlog
     directory.
    For Win32: The
    Start Server
     icon runs a script in the server installation’s bin directory called
    idsup.bat
    .
    For UNIX: Some platforms require the use of
    nohup
     when launching servers. Example,
    nohup $SSABIN/idsup &

Custom Configuration

If you wish to run servers in a custom configuration (such a multiple Search Servers or with Rulebase Server Groups) you will need to write your own scripts to start and stop servers. The following section describes the parameters required to start individual servers.

Configure Mode (Install tests)

MDM-RE Servers can be started in a special mode known as Configure Mode. This mode is used to start servers in the default configuration and run the standard installation test. When servers are started in this mode the first Console Client to connect to the server will automatically run the install test. Once the test has completed successfully the servers will automatically switch out of Configure Mode and behave as normal servers.
For Win32: Servers will be started automatically in
Configure Mode
 by the installation process if you check the
Run Tests
 checkbox. If the option is not selected during the installation phase they may be started later using the
Start Server (Configure Mode)
 icon in the
Informatica
 program group.
UNIX: Refer to the
Post Installation Steps\ Regression Test \ UNIX
section of the
Installation Guide
for instructions on how to start the Servers in Configure Mode.

Host Names / IP Addresses

MDM-RE Server start-up parameters usually include a host name. Although not explicitly noted in the following parameter descriptions, an IP address may be substituted for a host name.

Sample Server Start-up and Shutdown Scripts

The Windows MDM-RE Server installation contains two sample scripts,
idsseup.bat
and
idssedn.bat
, that can be used to start Server processes in various configurations.
These scripts do not support Rulebase Server Groups.
To use these scripts, you need to set the following environment variables:
SSA_SESV_RBPORT
Set to the port number that the Rulebase Server will be listening on. Set to 0 (zero) to prevent the Rulebase Server process from starting/stopping. In this case a separate Rulebase Server process must be running and the environment variable
SSA_SESV_RBHOST
must be set to the
host:server
 address of the Rulebase Server process.
SSA_SESV_SEPORT
Set to the port number that the Search Server will be listening on. Set to 0 (zero) to prevent the Search Server process from starting/stopping.
SSA_SESV_XMPORT
Set to the port number that the XML Search Server will be listening on. Set to 0 (zero) to prevent the XML Search Server process from starting/stopping.
SSA_SESV_XSPORT
Set to the port number that the Synchronization Server will be listening on. Set to 0 (zero) to prevent the Synchronization Server process from starting.
SSA_SESV_HTPORT
Set to the port number that the HTTP Search Server will be listening on. Set to 0 (zero) to prevent the HTTP Search Server process from starting/stopping.
SSA_SESV_HOST
The
host
 name of the computer on which the various server processes are running. This variable is used only by the
idssedn
 script.
