Adapter tab

Use the Adapter tab to configure the parameters of the host system on which the adapter is running and the parameters that are required for the Universal Automation Adapter policy.

Specify values for the following parameters:

Request port number
The number of the port on which the Universal Automation Adapter listens for requests from the SA z/OS E2E agent or the operations console. The default port is 2005.
Policy pool location
The fully qualified path name of the directory that contains the Universal Automation Adapter policies. These policies define resources on non-clustered nodes that are managed by the Universal Automation Adapter. Click Browse to select the policy pool.
Automation domains managed by the Universal Automation Adapter
The list of automation domain names. Each domain represents a set of resources on unclustered nodes that are managed by the Universal Automation Adapter. A domain name must match the domain name value that is defined in the policy file. This policy file defines the corresponding set of resources.
Use Add, Remove, and Rename to main the entries in the domain list.
  • Add

    Click Add to add a domain that is managed by the Universal Automation Adapter.

  • Remove

    Select the domain from the list and click Remove to remove from the domain list.

  • Rename

    Select the domain from the list and click Rename to change the name of the domain that is managed by the Universal Automation Adapter. Ensure that this domain name is unique in the set of all automation domains you work with. The maximum length of the domain name is 64 characters.

Note: You must recycle the Universal Automation Adapter if a domain is added or removed within the configuration tool.
Advanced
The advanced settings of the Universal Automation Adapter.
  • Adapter stop delay

    The time that the stop of adapter is delayed. It allows the adapter to properly deliver the domain leave event. The default value is 5. The value ranges between 3 through 60 seconds.

  • Remote contact activity interval

    The time after which the automation adapter stops if there is no communication with the SA z/OS E2E agent or the operations console. The default value is 360. The value changes between 0 through 360. If you specify '0', the adapter never stops. It continues to run and waits until it is contacted again by the SA z/OS E2E agent or the operations console.

  • Initial contact retry interval

    The time within which the Universal Automation Adapter tries to contact the SA z/OS E2E agent host and the operations console host until it succeeds or the specified time elapses. The default value is 0, which means the adapter tries to contact the SA z/OS E2E agent host and the operations console host indefinitely. The value ranges between 0 through 1440.

  • Enable EIF event caching

    If you select this check box, all events that can not be sent are cached.

    This can help to recover in cases where the connection to the SA z/OS E2E agent host or the operations console host is interrupted for a short period so that cached events can be sent when the connection is available again. If the cache limit is exceeded, cached events are discarded and the adapter sends a "domain offline" followed by a "domain online" event to the SA z/OS E2E agent host or the operations console host.

    If this check box is not selected, all events that can not be sent are discarded immediately.

  • EIF reconnect attempt interval

    The time that the Universal Automation Adapter waits until it tries to reconnect if the connection to the SA z/OS E2E agent host or the operations console host is interrupted. The default value is 30.

Click OK to save the settings internally and the settings are stored in the corresponding configuration file if you click Save in the Universal Automation Adapter window.

Click Defaults to restore the settings to the default values.

Click Cancel to close the dialog without saving the settings.
