contentManagerService

Defines run-time configuration parameters for the contentManagerService.

Values for many of the properties of this class can be acquired from the parent object. You can use property acquisition to simplify the configuration of IBM® Cognos® Analytics installations.

A dispatcher creates an instance of this class within its associated bibus » dispatcher object if the object does not already exist.

We recommend that you represent instances of this type as leaf nodes in a tree structure. These objects can be manipulated independent of their containing object.

Properties

This class has the following properties.

advancedSettings

Specifies advanced configuration information in XML format.

The settings can be changed at run time, without having to restart the server. However, changing these settings using the SDK requires advanced XML programming skills.

For more information, see Advanced settings.

This property

  • is of type anyType

    is encoded as type tns:anyTypeProp

  • can be acquired from a containing object

cmsAuditLevel

Specifies the auditing level for the content manager service.

This property

  • is of type bibus » auditLevelEnum

    is encoded as type tns:auditLevelEnumProp

  • has a default value of minimal

  • can be acquired from a containing object

cmsConnections

Specifies the maximum number of connections that a process of the content manager service can use concurrently to execute requests.

For more information, see Tune Server Performance.

This property

  • is of type int

    is encoded as type tns:intProp

  • has a default value of 4

  • must contain a value greater than or equal to 1

  • can be acquired from a containing object

New in Version 8.3 — Improve Batch Processing

This property was added.

cmsPeakConnections

Specifies the number of connections that a content manager service process can use to execute requests during peak hours. This property limits the number of these requests that can be executed concurrently by a process.

This property

  • is of type int

    is encoded as type tns:intProp

  • has a default value of 4

  • must contain a value greater than or equal to 1

  • can be acquired from a containing object

This property was added.

runningState

Specifies the running state of the service.

This property

runTimeState

Contains the run-time state information.

This property

  • must have at most 1 item

startAsActive

Specifies that the Content Manager service represented by this instance is preferred as the active Content Manager service when IBM Cognos Analytics starts.

On startup, Content Manager services negotiate to determine which service should become active and which services should run in standby mode. The maximum negotiation time is determined by the value of CMSYNC_NEGOTIATIONTIME set in the bibus » contentManagerService » advancedSettings property. Negotiations are necessary only when no Content Manager service is active. If a service starts when a Content Manager service is active, the starting service is automatically placed on standby.

The following conditions are used to determine which service becomes active:

  • If the service has the value of startAsActive set to true, it is selected as the active Content Manager service and negotiations end.

  • When the negotiation time expires, the service controlled by the bibus » dispatcher with the highest capacity value is selected as the active Content Manager service.

Any active Content Manager service will remain active until

If a Content Manager service fails, the services running in standby mode enter into negotiation and elect a new service, based on the conditions described. No negotiation occurs as a result of a call to the content » activate(searchPath) method.

No more than one instance of this class can have the value true assigned to this property.

This property

  • is of type boolean

    is encoded as type tns:booleanProp

systemMetricThresholds

Contains the set of system metric thresholds.
