Enterprise Gateway Configuration Options

Contents

Overview

You can configure the underlying configuration settings for the Enterprise Gateway using the the Policy Studio Settings menu option. You can also use the Settings and Deploy buttons in the toolbar. The following configuration options are available.

Deploy

Whenever you make changes to a filter or policy using the Policy Studio, you must deploy to the Enterprise Gateway for the changes to take affect. You can use the Settings -> Deploy menu option or the Deploy button in the toolbar to achieve this. If the server is processing a number of messages when the deploy command is issued, all of the messages are processed using the existing policy. New messages are queued until this batch of messages are completely processed. When the new policy data has been stored and loaded by the server, the queued messages are processed using the new policy.

Important:
To deploy to the Enterprise Gateway, the Policy Studio sends a deployment request to the Enterprise Gateway server. If necessary, you can configure the socket timeout value for this connection in the Policy Studio Preferences dialog, available from Window -> Preferences. For more details, see Policy Studio Preferences.

Default Settings

The Default Settings entered in this dialog are applied to all instances of the Enterprise Gateway that use this particular configuration. For example, you can change the trace level, timeouts, cache sizes, and other such global information. For more details, see Default Settings.

Note:
You can overwrite these settings at the Process level. You can do this by right-clicking the Process in the Policy Studio tree view, and selecting Settings -> Custom.

Default Logging Settings

This option enables you to configure the default logging behavior of the Enterprise Gateway. The Enterprise Gateway can be configured to log to a database, file, UNIX syslog, the system console, or the Oracle Logging Console. For more details, see Logging Configuration.

MIME/DIME Settings

The Enterprise Gateway can filter MIME messages based on the content types (or MIME types) of the individual parts of the message. The MIME/DIME Settings dialog lists the default MIME types that the Enterprise Gateway can filter on. These types are then used by the Content Types filter to determine which MIME types to block or allow through to the back end Web Service. For more details, see MIME/DIME Settings.

Namespace Settings

The Namespace Settings dialog can be used to determine the versions of SOAP, WSSE (Web Services Security), and WSU (Web Services Utility) that the Enterprise Gateway supports. For more details, see Namespace Settings.

Change Passphrase

By default, Enterprise Gateway configuration data is stored unencrypted. However, you can encrypt certain sensitive information, such as passwords and private keys, using a passphrase. For more details, see Setting the Encryption Passphrase.
