AquaLogic Interaction Configuration Manager

AquaLogic Interaction Configuration Manager enables you to manage the configuration settings of AquaLogic User Interaction products through a user interface rather than having to edit .xml files. This section describes the settings in the Portal Service section of the Configuration Manager.

Setting Description
Analytics Communication
Enable Select this option if you want the portal to pass information to Analytics.
Crawler Settings
Web Crawler file timeout (seconds) Enter the number of seconds you want a web crawler to try to get to a web page before it times out.
SOAP file timeout (seconds) Enter the number of seconds you want a remote crawler to try to get to a document before it times out.
Gateway
Gateway Enabled Select this option if you want to allow portal content to be gatewayed.
Gateway temporary directory Enter the full path to the directory where temporary files will be stored.
Gateway max upload (in bytes) Enter the maximum file size allowed for uploads.
Gateway min upload (in bytes) Enter the minimum file size allowed for uploads.
Gateway min streamable (in bytes) Enter the minimum size of streamable content.
Gateway temporary file pool size Enter a value that is greater than the number of ASP/JAVA worker threads for the portal.
Logging
Server Enter the application name that will uniquely identify log messages sent from this application. ALI Logging Utilities will use this string to determine the location from which log messages originate. The application name can be any string that meets the following restrictions: it must not be empty, it must not exceed 128 in length, and it may only contain non-white-space visible ASCII characters and the space character. Most ALI products follow the naming convention [product-name].[machine-name].[user-name].
Local only Select this option to limit broadcast of this application's logging messages to only the computer on which this application is installed.
Main Portal Settings
Web home directory Enter the directory for the Portal's JAR files.
Image Server base URL Enter the base URL for the Portal's Image Server.
Image Server secure base URL Enter the base URL for the Portal Image Server running HTTPS.
Image Server connection URL Enter the base URL that is used when the Portal Server connects to the Image Server to retrieve JSRegistry information. In many configurations this URL is the same as the Image Server Base URL.
Image Server connection URL timeout (seconds) Enter the timeout for the Image Server Connection URL, in seconds. -1 means do not check during startup. Note that if this is invalid, your portal will not work.
Administrative Portal base URL Enter the base URL to the Administrative Portal. It is required that absolute URL be used in Security Mode 3.
Temporary file home directory Enter the temporary files directory to be used by the portal. This should not be Web accessible.
Portal Database
Vendor Enter the database vendor.
Host Enter the name of the computer that hosts the database.
User name Enter the name of the database user.
Password Enter the password for the database user.
Port Enter the port number on which the database services requests.
Minimum pooled database connections Enter the minimum number of pooled connections.
Maximum pooled database connections Enter the maximum number of pooled connections.
Database Name (Microsoft SQL Server only) Enter the name of the database.
Portal International Settings
Locale Enter the default locale for users. Setting it to the string "UseBrowser" causes the portal to derive the locale from the browser's language settings and store it as the user's locale.
Time Zone (numeric value) Enter the default time zone for the user. If it is -1 then the time zone of the computer on which Portal is deployed is used.
Mandatory Object Language This setting allows the administrator to set the language for all new objects. If it is blank, the user creating the object can choose the language for the object. If it is not blank, the value will be used as the language for all new and edited objects. The value should be a locale string (for example, it should match the name of a folder under the msgs directory.)
Portal System Properties
Server name Enter the name of the portal server or virtual load-balanced server (for example, the main load balanced server name: portal.mycompany.com).
Machine name Enter the machine name (for example, the physical name of the individual portal server machine behind the load-balancer: portalserver1243).
Performance comments This setting specifies whether the performance comments in the HTML source are enabled. 0 means the comments and stacktraces are disabled. 1 means the comments and stacktraces are enabled. 2 means the comments are enabled but stacktraces are disabled. 3 means the comments are disabled but stacktraces are enabled.
Debugging mode This setting specifies whether debugging features are enabled. This is disabled by default. You can enable this to debug portal startup issues, especially if you have made customizations to XML files. Make sure to set to disable debugging when you are done troubleshooting. 1 means debugging is enabled. 0 means debugging is disabled.
Doctype specification 1: none, 2: HTML 3.2, 3: HTML 4.0 Transitional, 4: HTML 4.0 Frameset, 5: HTML 4.0 Strict. Note that neither the portal nor any other ALI product has been verified to support either the transitional or strict document type specification. By default the portal does not include a specific doctype declaration in its HTML because doing so would limit the display of portlets in which the doctypes were invalid or inconsistent with the portals declared doctype. If you are confident that all your portlets adhere to a particular doctype you should set that document type here.
Adaptive layout mode Enter a numeric value indicating whether or not page and/or portlet layout modes are enabled. Both are enabled by default. 0 means layout mode is disabled. 1 means page and portlet layout modes are enabled. 2 means page layout mode is only enabled. 3 means portlet layout mode is only enabled.
Virtual directory path Enter the virtual directory path. It is typically /portal/.
HTTP entry point Enter the portal main Servlet mapping name. This has to be the same has the mapping name for HTTPInterpreter in web.xml. It is typically server.pt.
HTTP Port Enter the port number for the Portal running HTTP.
HTTP Secure Port Enter the port number for the Portal running HTTPS.
SSO virtual directory path Enter the SSO Virtual directory path. It is typically /portal/.
SSO servlet name Enter the SSO Servlet mapping name. This has to be the same has the mapping name for SSOLoginPage in web.xml. It is typically SSOServlet.
