Administering Learn how to configure settings in IBM™ UrbanCode™ Deploy elements and communication between the elements. High availability and failoverYou can configure clustered IBM UrbanCode Deploy servers, blueprint design servers, and agents for high availability. You can also configure agents and agent relays for failover.Setting up high-availability clustersTo configure a high-availability cluster, you store shared files on network storage. Then, you configure multiple servers, set each server to access the same files and database, and configure a load balancer to distribute the traffic between the servers.Adding cold standby serversYou can add cold standby servers to serve as a backup server or for disaster recovery. You must start the secondary server or servers when the active server fails, and network traffic is routed to the secondary servers. Configuring disaster recovery for the blueprint design serverYou can configure the blueprint design server and engine for disaster recovery by adding cold standby servers to serve as backup servers. You must start the secondary server or servers when the active server fails, and network traffic is routed to the secondary servers. Configuring agents for failoverTo configure agents for failover, you specify two or more target servers for the agent to use. If one of the servers fails, the agent switches to another server from the list.Configuring agent relays for failoverTo configure agent relays for failover, you specify two or more target servers for the agent relay to use. If one of the servers fails, the agent relay switches to another server from the list.Server settings and configurationAfter you install IBM UrbanCode Deploy, you can modify the server configuration and configure more options.Setting user preferencesEach user can specify display options for the server, including the language for the server and how the server shows times and dates.Blueprint design server configurationLearn how to configure the blueprint design server.Adding blueprint design servers to clustersTo add a blueprint design server to a cluster, connect it to the shared database and network storage. Then, configure the load balancer to send traffic to it.Adding engines to clustersTo add an engine to a cluster, connect it to the shared database. Then, configure the load balancer to send traffic to it.Setting up clusters of blueprint design serversYou can set up clusters of blueprint design servers for a high-availability configuration. As with setting up clusters of servers, you store shared files on a system and set multiple blueprint design servers to use those files.Setting up clusters of enginesTo set up clusters of engines, you store shared files on a system and set multiple engines to use those files.Configuring disaster recovery for the blueprint design serverYou can configure the blueprint design server and engine for disaster recovery by adding cold standby servers to serve as backup servers. You must start the secondary server or servers when the active server fails, and network traffic is routed to the secondary servers. Agents and agent relay configurationAfter you install an agent for IBM UrbanCode Deploy, you can modify its configuration or create an agent relay to facilitate communication to remote relays.License managementIBM UrbanCode Deploy provides a 60-day license-free evaluation period. To use all product features after the evaluation period, you must have a license.Setting up the wizard for new usersIBM UrbanCode Deploy includes a wizard to help users become familiar with the procedures and steps in creating a deployment. Some configuration is required before the wizard can be used.Customizing the table viewsCustomize a table view in the IBM UrbanCode Deploy application by hiding or showing, and reordering of the table columns.Configuring SSL on Apache Tomcat and LDAP serversThe steps for configuring secure HTTP connections with the IBM UrbanCode Deploy server are similar to the steps for any Java™ Platform, Enterprise Edition server.SSL configurationWith Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology, clients and servers can communicate securely by encrypting all communications. Data is encrypted before it is sent and decrypted by the recipient. This communication cannot be deciphered or modified by third-parties. In addition to encryption, SSL can also support authentication.Releasing VC LOB spaceAfter you upgrade to IBM UrbanCode Deploy 7.0.5 and later, you can compress the amount of large object (LOB) storage space that IBM UrbanCode Deploy uses in the vc_persistent_record database table.
