Configuration of BackupSrvcTest

The BackupSrvcTest checks the availability of the service that corresponds to the Backup SQL server.  

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 name of the server for which the test is to be configured has to be specified.

  • The port number to which the server is listening is to be provided in the PORT text box.

  • The ServiceName text box indicates the name of the service that is to be checked. More than one service name can also be provided with comma as the separator. The default value here is "MSSqlServer".

  • 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.

 

Note:

Before attempting to monitor a Forms server, ensure that its tracing capability is enabled. To know how to enabling tracing for a Forms server, refer to the section on "Configuring Oracle Forms Servers" in the eG Installation Guide.
