Properties: Domain

The details that the Configuration Properties tab displays depend on the selected node. Environments inherit many properties that are set at the Domain level. The following descriptions are for fields that appear on the Properties tab when the Domain is selected.

Domain URL

Identifies the URL of the Domain Orchestrator that is set during the installation. The format depends on whether you selected Support Secure Communication on the General Properties page when installing the Domain Orchestrator. When installed in secure mode, the OasisConfig.properties setting for oasis.transport.secure is set to true.

If a load balancer was set up, the URL connects to the load balancer. If no load balancer was set up, the URL connects to the Domain Orchestrator.

Host Name

Identifies the host where the Domain Orchestrator is installed. For example, server1.mycompany.com

Orchestrator Name

Identifies the name of the Domain Orchestrator.

Default: Domain Orchestrator

Status

Identifies that status of the Domain. For example, Active or Locked by user ID.

Heartbeat Interval (minutes)

Specifies the frequency in minutes with which agents send a heartbeat back to the Domain Orchestrator. Agents inherit this value unless it is overridden at the agent level.

Default: 2

Touchpoint Security

Indicates whether to enforce user rights on the targets. All user rights are configured in a custom CA EEM policy that uses the Touchpoint Security resource class. The execute rights can be granted a user or group for a given environment or touchpoint.

Note: See Approach to Configuring Touchpoint Security.

Values: The drop-down list has the following values:

Default: Disabled - supports backward compatibility.

Match Target in Host Groups only

Specifies the search scope for an operator target when the Target field entry is an IP address or a host name (FQDN). The operator execution on the target can proceed only when the target is known to CA Process Automation. Select Disabled to allow the broadest search. Select Enabled here and Disabled for the next field for the most restricted search.

Note: A DNS lookup of a specified hostname finds associated IP addresses; a DNS lookup of the IP address finds associated hostnames.

Values: The drop-down list has the following values:

Default: Disabled

Lookup DNS when matching target in Host Groups

Note: This field is enabled when the "Match target in Host Groups only" is set to Enabled.

Specifies whether to limit the search through Host Group references to the entry type. For example: When the Target field entry type is an FQDN, search only host name patterns. When the Target field entry type is an IP address, search only subnets. When a DNS lookup is included, the search can also accept a host group reference to the other type, as resolved by a DNS lookup.

Values: This drop-down list has the following values:

Default: Disabled

Option to Purge Reporting Data

Specifies whether to purge reporting data daily.

This field is applicable if either the Enable Process Reporting checkbox or the Enable Operator Reporting checkbox is selected.

Note: Exempted from purging is data related to configuration changes (add or update Orchestrators, agents, touchpoints) and data related to checking in or importing library objects.

Values:
Start Time to Purge Reporting Data Daily

Specifies the time of day at which to delete reporting data. For example, to start the purge at 6:30 PM, specify the military time equivalent, 18:30.

This field is applicable if the Option to Purge Reporting Data is set to Purge Reporting Data Daily.

Values:

00:00 through 23:59

This range, in HH:mm format, means 12:00 AM (start of the day) through 11:59 PM (end of the day) for your local time zone.

Number of Days to Keep Reporting Data

Specifies the number of days to retain reporting data before it is purged.

For example, an entry of 14 specifies to purge all reporting data that is more than two weeks old. The age of reporting data for process instances and operator instances is calculated from when the instance started running.

This field is applicable if the Option to Purge Reporting Data is set to Purge Reporting Data Daily.

Values:

An integer in the range 1 through 3650, inclusive.

Enable Process Logs

Indicates whether to enable the Logs option in the Designer tab View menu. This setting determines whether to display or to hide logs for runtime process instances.

Values: This check box has one of the following values:

Default: Selected

Enable Operator Recovery

Indicates how to handle any operator recovery when the following sequence of events occurs:

  1. A touchpoint becomes inactive while the Process Execution is in progress.
  2. A user activates this touchpoint.

Consider the following example: The Delay operator starts a process on TP1. The process goes into waiting state. If TP1 becomes inactive, the process stays in waiting state. While the process is in waiting state, a user activates the inactive touchpoint.

Values: This check box has one of the following values:

Default: Selected

Note: This setting has major impact on the Assign User Task operator, the Invoke SOAP Method Async operator, and the Start Process operator.

Enable Process Reporting

Indicates whether reporting data is generated for processes. Both predefined reports and custom reports use this data. Search for reports containing the word process in the Reports tab to view titles of process reports.

Values: This check box has the following settings:

Default: Selected

Enable Operator Reporting

Indicates whether reporting data is generated for operators. This setting applies to operator-related reporting data used by custom reports and predefined reports.

Values: This check box has one of the following values:

Default: Selected

Delete Reporting Data

Specifies the date range for the reporting data to delete. All reporting data that is generated within the date range you specify is deleted immediately, on demand. The date range of reporting data for process instances and operator instances is calculated from when the instance started running. This button opens a dialog with the following two fields that let you select dates from calendars.
