Configuration of CtxCdXDHATest

With the help of this test, administrators can run availability checks on the SQL database, and in the process, determine whether/not the SQL high availability best practices have succeeded in keeping the database alive and accessible. Using the test, administrators can also monitor the Connection leasing activity and measure its effectiveness. This way, the test provides useful pointers to administrators on how to make the SQL database and the broker service that depends on it, highly available.

The default parameters associated with this test are as follows:

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

• In the HOST text box, the host for which the test is to be configured has to be specified.

• In the PORT text box, specify the port at which the specified host listens to. By default, this is 443.

• If multiple components of the same component type are awaiting configuration, then an APPLY TO OTHER COMPONENTS check box will appear in this page. Clicking on this check box will allow you to apply the configuration to all/selected components of that type.

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

When changing the configuration for specific servers, a “*” beside the text box corresponding to the parameter signifies that these values have to be manually configured by the user. The parameter values that require to be configured will typically be prefixed with a “$” or contain a series of “*”. A value of “none” in the parameter value indicates that the corresponding parameter value can be changed if required.
