The principal test process server is used to configure a second principal process server on the solution application server. This functionality is used mostly to test a principal process server version before its actual utilization.

Configuration

Loading

To load a principal test process server component, click on the Add button, of the Process servers tab.

For more information on the component loading dialog box,click here...

The component status is "Idle", on exiting the configuration it becomes "Active".

Configuration

To configure the principal test process server component, enter the mandatory parameters:

  • SAFE X3 service user account: Name of the user account starting the SAFE X3 service (By default LocalSystem for Windows, and root for UNIX)
  • Password of the user account: Password of this account
  • SAFE X3 service port number: Specify the port to be used by the test main process server service.
  • DBMS client path (up until V6 version) ORACLE installation path. Make sure that the version of your DBMS corresponds at least to the version of your DBMS server.

To launch the actual configuration of the Additional process server component, click on the Configure button:

The service is going to be created on the port chosen for the test main process server configuration. If this port is already taken on the server, the configuration cannot take place.

On exiting the configuration the ADXD process of the principal test process server is created and started. The component appears in the architecture on the left and in the list of process servers. Its status will become "Active".

The server can now be used. It is now possible, using this server, to connect to the application folders.

NB: After an additional process server has been added, an update of the publications can be necessary. In such a case, the solution must be published again for the Safe X3 Web Server, the Safe X3 Java Bridge Server or the Safe X3 Print Server.
