2.4 Operations Center Server

2.4.1 CORBA Timeout Properties

The CORBA timeout properties allows you to set the number of seconds for client requests to the server before the operation or connection is terminated.

To set the CORBA Timeout property:

  1. Open the /OperationsCenter_install_path/html/applet_params.xml and /OperationsCenter_install_path/Formula.custom.properties files in a text editor.

  2. Add or edit the following properties:Edit the property, where seconds is the number of seconds before failing if an unconnected remote reference fails to connect.

    • CORBA.connectionTimeout: Set to the number of seconds before failing if an unconnected remote reference fails to connect.

      If the customer is using LDAP, set this value to 60 or higher to allow authentication of users.

    • CORBA.operationTimeout: Set to the number of seconds before failing if the remote reference fails to service a request.

    • CORBA.transactionTimeout: Set to the number of seconds before failing if the remote reference fails to service a transaction.

  3. Save the files.

2.4.2 Custom Java Class Loading Notes

This section lists information related to custom Java classes:

  • Load custom archive files that should be available to all the Operations Servers servers in the /OperationsCenter_install_path/classes/ext directory.

  • Load a single class or set of classes that are not in an archive file in the /OperationsCenter_install_path/classes directory.

  • Use the full path name. For example, if the myclass.class file is in the com.acme.somepackage package directory, the class file must be in the /OperationsCenter_install_path/classes/com/acme/somepackage directory.

  • Load server patches in the /OperationsCenter_install_path/patches directory.

  • Load client patches in the /OperationsCenter_install_path/html/client/patches directory.

  • Some third-party integrations require additional .jar files. Read the third-party documentation for special instructions. For example, Spectrum Version 7 expects all additional .jar files to be loaded in the /OperationsCenter_install_path/integrations/ext/spectrumV71 directory.

2.4.3 Setting Up the Temp Directory for Operations Server

The tmp directory is controlled by the java.io.tmpdir Java parameter and defaults to /var/tmp. The tmp directory can be specified as a Java arg in the Operations Center Configuration Manager:

‑Djava.io.tmpdir=/formula/tmp

2.4.4 Verifying Space on the Web Server

If the Web server won’t start and the /var/tmp file is filling up, there might not be enough space in /var.

To verify the space in the /var/tmp file:

  1. For UNIX, enter df ‑k at a command prompt.

  2. If necessary, modify the tmp directory for Operations Center.
