Site Management

A site can be enabled as a Site Manager, making all other sites behave as managed sites. The Network IDIH configuration of the managed sites is updated and/or configured by the IDIH designated as a Site Manager, allowing configuration of all Network IDIH sites in every participating IDIH to be centralized and much easier to maintain.

In general, only one site is designated as a site manager and all remaining sites are designated as managed. However, it is possible to have one site, a few sites, or all sites be configured as site managers.

The toolbar for the N-DIH Site configuration maintains the Site Management display. The display includes information as to which entity is managing the site. The information is displayed in the form of name@application_server_address (for example, IDIH-1@10.240.23.91). This information is derived from the N-IDIH site designated as the local site. There can be only one local site in the N-IDIH site list.

Site Management is Enabled (Managing Site)

A managing site has various behaviors:

• A new N-IDIH site can be added to the list
• The attributes of an N-IDIH site entry can be modified:
  • Name
  • Application Server Address
  • Description
• An N-IDIH entry can be deleted

  Note:

  When an entry is deleted, an attempt is made to delete the configured N-IDIH sites at the remote site. If this attempt is unsuccessful, the failed attempt is logged and the entry is removed locally. A delete request on a remote site will also be rejected if the remote site is managed by some other site.
• View the remote sites being managed (Managed N-IDIH Sites)
• Push the current N-IDIH site configurations to the remote sites (Managed N-IDIH Sites).

Managed N-IDIH Sites

The remote sites either being updated or sending a Data Push action in the Managed N-IDIH Sites panel can only be viewed after a site has been designated as a managing site. The information displayed to the user is:

• IDIH Site Name
• Data Push Status
  • Latest Data Pushed - Indicates if any outstanding edits have not been pushed to this site or if all edits have been pushed.
  • Last Configuration Change - If the latest edits have not been pushed, displays the last change not pushed.
  • Push Fail Reason - If an attempt to push the data is made and it fails, the failed reason is displayed.
  • Last Successful Push - Displays the timestamp of the last successful data push.

Data Push Behaviors:

• Data can only be pushed if a local site is configured.
• A managed site could be updated by more than one managing site. The last managing site to push to the remote site becomes that site's manager.

The Managed N-IDIH Sites grid toolbar contains the standard OAM Refresh action. In addition, it contains the Push To All Managed Sites action.

Site Management is Disabled (Managed Site)

A managed site has various behaviors:

• Cannot add, modify, or delete an N-IDIH site
• Cannot push data to any site
• The managed N-IDIH Sites panel is not displayed

By default, site management is Disabled
