B.10 Configuring CTM GateWay/CORBA
• Heartbeat for Notification Channel (min): 0
This property is the rate at which the notification service is checked. A zero entry means not to check
the notification service.
• Enter the maximum number of simultaneous sessions: 4
This property is the number of CTM GateWay/CORBA sessions that can be active at the same time.
The range is from 4 to 25 sessions.
• Enter the maximum events per consumer: 10000
CTM GateWay/CORBA uses this property to set the MaxEventsPerConsumer administrative QoS
parameter of the notification channel. The notification server uses this property to bound the
maximum number of events in a given channel that are allowed to queue at any given time. The
default value is 0, where the notification server does not impose a limit on the maximum number of
events that can be queued. If no limits are imposed on the queue, the notification server might run
out of memory if a client behaves incorrectly. The server must keep all events in memory until they
are consumed by all registered consumers.
Caution Any change to this value should be made with extreme caution. If you set the value too low,
the NMS will not receive all notifications. If you set the value too high, the CTM notification
server will run out of memory. The current value is set to handle alarm bursts of 10,000 events
per minute.
• Enter the notification service name: NotificationService
This property defines the service name that the resolve_initial_reference function uses to get a
reference to the notification service. The CTM GateWay/CORBA installation installs the
notification service automatically. To use your own notification service, modify this parameter.
Tip You do not need to change this parameter if you plan to use the notification service that is
bundled with CTM GateWay/CORBA.
• Enter the notification service naming context: services/NotifyChannelFactory
NamingContext defines the naming context of NotificationService. This property is used when
resolve_initial_reference fails to resolve NotificationService. CTM GateWay/CORBA contacts the
naming service to resolve the name context defined in this property. The value of this property must
match the value published by your notification server.
Tip You do not need to change this parameter if you plan to use the notification service that is
bundled with CTM GateWay/CORBA.
• Enter the notification service factory IOR filename:
file:/opt/CiscoTransportManagerServer/openfusion/domains/OpenFusion/localhost/NotificationSe
rvice/NotificationSingleton/NotificationSingleton.ior
The FactoryIORFile property defines the path to a text file that contains the IOR of
NotificationService. This property is used only after resolve_initial_reference and naming service
fail. CTM GateWay/CORBA opens the file as defined by the URL format in this property and
attempts to retrieve the IOR from this file. This parameter lets you run your notification service on
a different host to improve performance.
