Default Parameters for ProBILogActTest

The Before Image file(s) stores information about every transaction which makes a change to the database. If the transaction is aborted / undone, this information will be read back from the BI file to restore original values of the database back into the database if necessary.

In addition when a database goes down unexpectedly, the crash recovery process reads back and undo any transaction that was not completed.

This page depicts the default parameters that need to be configured for ProBILogActTest.

• The TEST PERIOD list box helps the user to decide how often this test needs to be executed.

• Specify the name of the Progress database instance that is to be monitored in the DATABASE NAME text box.

• In order to monitor a Progress database instance, a special database user account has to be created in every Progress database instance that requires monitoring. This special user needs to be granted a set of privileges. To know how to create the database user and grant the required privileges, refer to click here. Specify the name of such a user in the USERNAME text box.

• Enter the password of the specified USERNAME in the PASSWORD text box.

• Confirm the password by retyping it in the CONFIRM PASSWORD text box.

• Once the necessary values have been provided, clicking on the UPDATE button will register the changes made.

When changing default configurations of tests, the values with "$" indicate variables that will be replaced by the eG system according to the specific server being managed - for instance, $hostName is the host/nickname of the target host, $port is the port number of the server being monitored. E.g., for a server xyz:80, $hostName will be changed automatically by the eG manager to "xyz" and $port will be changed to "80" when configuring a test.
