User's Manual
388 Table: eKERNEL_TCPCLIENT
The majority of modules must be defined with Keep socket open.
This means a permanent socket connection remains active. Nortel
recommends using Keep socket open for all modules, unless specified
otherwise.
Note 1:
For the eWEB module the value Close after receive must be
specified if no script messages are used. If the Send Script Message
functionality is implemented in eWEB, the value Close after send must
be specified. This is a major issue, because closing a connection too
soon can prevent eKERNEL from sending a feedback to the eWEB
module.
Note 2:
When eAPI is used, you have the choice to specify any value.
The correct value depends on a number of factors, one of them is the
question whether the port is dedicated for one eAPI-based interface
or shared between multiple instances of eAPI-based interface. Nortel
recommends that you define Keep socket open. This requires a
dedicated port for each eAPI. However, if external applications access
the system through ad hoc requests to eKERNEL, you must specify
the value Close after receive to free the resources for other inbound
requests.
An authorized of an entry typically found in this field is as follows:
Keep
socket open (required for all modules, except eWEB or eAPI).
TCPCLIENT_Environment_str
Use this field to define on what system the instance of the module resides.
In most cases all modules reside on a central system, so a single PC
server runs eKERNEL, eDMSAPI, eCAP, and so on.
In some environments, multiple PC servers are used. The modules of
Messenger@Net run on a central system where the eKERNEL runs; other
modules reside on a distributed system.
The field TCPCLIENT_Environment_str specifies on what system the
module runs. This information is used by eGRID to generate the shortcuts
for the task manager. For every environment a REG-file is produced.
Nortel recommends specifying *LOCAL for all modules that reside on the
same system as eKERNEL. You can also specify the fixed IP address of
the central system. Using an IP address has advantages when deploying
the high-availability eTM_HA.
For modules that reside on a different PC, Nortel recommends specifying
the fixed IP address of the distributed system.
An authorized of an entry typically found in this field is as follows: *LOCAL
