Configuring CA SOI › Configure JNLP

Configure JNLP

As an administrator, you can change the JRE requirements for starting the Operations Console. You can edit any of the default Java Network Launching Protocol (JNLP) settings.

The default memory amount that CA SOI allocates to the Operations Console deployment is 512 MB. This setting may not be sufficient in larger environments where CA SOI manages many services and CIs are staged.

CA SOI notifies you with a message when the Operations Console is using 80 percent (410 MB). CA SOI displays subsequent messages on the status bar.

CA SOI does not force Operations Console to have the same JRE version as the UI Server. You can upgrade the UI Server to a newer JRE version and upgrade the user desktops later. The installed JRE version with the UI Server is 1.7.0_11 and the minimum JRE that is required for the Operations Console is 1.6.0_24.

The default minimum JRE is 1.6.0_24. If a user does not meet the minimum JRE requirement, the Console link is not available on the Dashboard and a message appears that explains the problem.

Follow these steps:

1. Click the Administration tab.
2. Click the plus sign (+) next to the CA Service Operations Insight UI Server Configuration option.
3. Click the plus sign (+) next to the server you want to configure.
4. Click JNLP Configuration.
5. Edit the settings in one or more of the following fields and click Save:

   Required Minimum JRE Version

   Displays the oldest version of the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) that can be used to start CA SOI.

   Default: 1.6.0_24

   Minimum client memory usage (megabytes)

   Displays the minimum amount of memory allocated for starting CA SOI.

   Default: 64

   Maximum client memory usage (megabytes)

   Displays the maximum amount of memory allocated for starting CA SOI.

   Default: 512

   Note: The suggested value for large implementations is 1024 MB.

   The JNLP configuration settings update in the custom-jnlp-config.xml file.

Note: If the Administration tab changes do not save or the fields clear when you click Save or Test, adjust your browser settings. One of the following actions should solve the problem:

• Add the CA SOI URL to your trusted sites and lower the privacy to accept all cookies. For more information about trusted sites and privacy settings, see your browser documentation.
• Add the domain name of the CA SOI UI Server and SA Manager (for example, company.com) to the privacy managed websites and set to Allow. For more information about managing privacy settings, see your browser documentation.
