Network Object Server Policy Group

The Network Object Server policy group contains the following policies for the DTS Network Object Server (NOS). You can modify policy parameter values by double-clicking a policy to display the Setting Properties dialog.

Note: The Transfer Object Server (TOS), Network Object Server (NOS), and Schedule Object Server are commonly referred to as object servers, DTS servers, and servers throughout the documentation. However, in formal DSM terminology, they are DTS managers.

Cache flush interval

Specifies the number of seconds after which the server process writes all unsaved object information to disk, that is, the periodic flushing of the object cache. If 0 is specified, data is written to disk immediately after an update operation is performed by the servers.

Limits: 0–10000000

Default: 60

Cache size

Specifies the maximum number of objects that can be held in the server's memory cache. Caching can significantly improve the performance of the server for which you are setting the cache size. It is most advantageous in situations where repeated transfers between the same computers are common. Valid values are 0 and higher. A value of 0 disables caching; all object updates are immediately flushed to disk.

Note: When setting this policy, keep in mind the amount of memory that the server process consumes. Cache is not preallocated and therefore grows to its maximum size as the server is used. The cache-size value simply limits the cache to a maximum number of objects.

Limits: 0–10000000

Default: 1024

CCS WorldView repository name

Identifies the CCS WorldView repository to be used by the Network Object Server.

Default: <locally managed>

Dynamic container visualization

Specifies that the Network Object Server update the computers in the CA MDB, so that their membership in DTS dynamic containers can be visualized.

Default: True

Enable CCS WorldView integration

Integrates the DTS Network Object Server with the WorldView component of CCS, if True.

Default: True

Lookup object by address

Defines a NOS-specific route performance value. Change only if directed by Technical Support.

Default: False

NOS auditing

Enables auditing by the domain manager, if True.

Default: True

NOS protocol parameters

Specifies the port used to listen for legacy TCP requests.

Default: RPORT=<8196>

Resolve common source

Defines a NOS-specific route performance value. Change only if directed by Technical Support.

Default: True

Resolve duplicate machines

Defines a NOS-specific route performance value. Change only if directed by Technical Support.

Default: True

Security mode

Determines whether incoming transfer requests must be authenticated. Responses to security violations are dependent on the current security mode. Valid values are as follows:

quiet

Disables security checking.

warn

Enables security checking. If an invalid request is detected, the operation is permitted to continue. However, the violation is recorded in the log file to indicate the occurrence.

fail

Enables security checking. If an invalid request is detected, the operation is immediately aborted. When fail mode is enabled, users are required to enter a valid user name and password before they are able to display or set the runtime parameters for any of the DTS computers.

Default: fail

Self discovery: Create DTS Objects in WorldView

Creates DTS objects only in WorldView when DTS agents come online (notify), if True.

Default: True

Self discovery: Create machines

Creates any new machine objects in WorldView during Self Discovery, if True. (This policy does nothing if the Self discovery: Create DTS Objects in WorldView policy is not enabled.)

Default: False

Update machines' IP addresses

Updates the IP addresses of computers in WorldView when computers notify the DTS manager, if True. (This policy does nothing if the Self discovery: Create machines and Self discovery: Create DTS objects in WorldView policies are not enabled.)

Default: False

Use first route

Defines a NOS-specific route performance value. Change only if directed by Technical Support.

Default: True

WorldView classes to load

Specifies the CCS WorldView classes to search through when looking for a route.

Default: Windows;WindowsXP;Windows_NetServer;WindowsNT;Windows9x;Windows2000;Windows2000_Server;WindowsNT_Server;Linux;HPServer;HPUnix;Novell;Solaris;Unix;GenericPC;ManagedPC;SunOS;AS400;DG_UX;IBM_390;OpenVMS;Macintosh;OS2;Unclassified_TCP;-AMO_Workstation
