Chapter 6 Configuration Tool

6This chapter describes how to configure the WebDT Device Manager using the WDM Configuration Tool.

6.1 Open WDM Configuration ToolThe WDM Configuration Tool is used to configure the server port, database, and VNC settings.

The Configuration Tool will be launched automatically after installing WebDT Device Manager. Or, to open the application at a later time, click Start > Programs > DT Research > WebDT Device Manager 2.1 > Tool > WDM Configuration Tool.

Note: When WDM Configuration Tool starts, the WDM web service stops. Close the WDM Configu-ration Tool window to re-start WDM web service.

Page tab

Menu


Click a menu from the left panel:• WDM HTTP Server: Set server port, enable SSL (Secure Sockets Layer), and

configure client agents and other connection settings. See “6.2 WDM HTTP Server” on page 86.

• Database: Configure settings and re-initialize database. See “6.3 Database” on page 89.

• VNC Repeater: Set VNC port for devices and viewers. See “6.4 VNC Repeater” on page 93.

After modifying any settings, click Save. Be sure to click Save before clicking other menu or page tabs.

To reload last saved data, click Cancel.To close the application, click Exit.

6.2 WDM HTTP ServerThe WDM HTTP Server menu is used to configure the server port, establish encrypted link by SSL, and set threads, time out, and heart beat intervals.

Click a tab to view the page:

• General: Configure server port and root path. See “6.2.1 General Page”.

• SSL: Enable Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). See “6.2.2 SSL Page” on page 87.

• Connection: Configure threads and time out settings. See “6.2.3 Connection Page” on page 88.

• Others: Set heart beat intervals. See “6.2.4 Others Page” on page 89.

6.2.1 General Page


• Web Server Port: Enter the server port to open WebDT Device Manager. By default, this port is set to 80. If port 80 is already occupied, enter other port numbers between 1 to 65535.

• File Root Path: Click Browse to set a local path directory or input the folder path.

• TFTP Server Root Path: Click Browse to update the tftp path in the Configuration Tool.

Note: If the WDM service and the file root path exist in the same computer, then you do not have to create the account and password.If the WDM service and the file root path do not exist in the same computer, then you have to create the same account and password with the shared folder server account.

6.2.2 SSL Page

• Enable SSL: Check this box to enable Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). SSL is used to encrypt the link between the server and the browser. When unchecked, the succeeding fields are disabled.

• CA Key File: Click Browse to browse for the local file or enter the local path and filename directly on the box.

• CA Cert File: Click Browse to browse for the local file or enter the local or shared path and filename directly on the box.

• SSL Port: Enter the SSL port number; port number can be from 1 to 65535.

• redirectPort: Enter an alternative port number to transport SSL.


6.2.3 Connection Page

Note: If you are unsure of the settings, it is recommended to retain the default values.

• minSpare Threads: The minimum number of request processing threads that will be initially created when the connection is established. Enter a value from 1 to 99999; the default value is 25.

Note: The value of minSpareThreads must be smaller than the value set for maxThreads.

• maxSpareThreads: The maximum number of unused request processing threads that is allowed to exist until the thread pool starts stopping the unnecessary threads. Enter a value from 1 to 99999; the default value is 75.

• maxThreads: The maximum number of request processing threads that will be created by the connection, and which determines the maximum number of simultaneous requests that can be handled. Enter a value form 1 to 99999; the default value is 1500.

• acceptCount: The maximum queue length for connection requests when all possible request processing threads are in use. Any requests received when the queue is full will be refused. Enter a value from 1 to 99999; the default value is 1000.

• connectionTimeout: The time out time in milliseconds after accepting a connection. Enter a value from 1 to 99999; the default value is 30000 (30 seconds).


6.2.4 Others Page

• serverHBInterval: The heart beat interval before the server responds to the device. Enter a value from 0 to 99999; the default value is 0.

• clientHBInterval: The heart beat interval before the device responds or sends the next request to the server. The default value is 5.

• deviceStatusTime: The time out time in sending the device report to server. The default value is 4.

6.3 DatabaseThe Database menu is used to define the database configurations.

Click a tab to view the page:

• Connection: Defines the database type, server address, port, user name, and password. See “6.3.1 Connection Page” on page 90.

• Parameters: Set database connection and time out parameters. See “6.3.2 Parameters Page” on page 91.

• Reinitialize: Reinitialize the database. See “6.3.3 Reinitialize Page” on page 92.

• PostgreSQL Settings: Set maximum number of connections, abort connection settings, and the amount of shared memory. See “6.3.4 PostgreSQL Settings Page” on page 92.

Note: The PostgreSQL tab only appears when PostgreSQL database is installed together with WDM.


6.3.1 Connection Page

• Database Type: Select the type of database to use. WDM Device Manager supports the following database:

• PostgreSQL 9.0 or later (default)

• Oracle

• SQL Server

• MySQL 5.1 or later

• Database Server Address: Enter the database server address.

• Database Port: Enter a database port number.

• Database Name: Enter desired database name; maximum of 256 characters.

• User Name: Enter a user name that will be allowed to access to the database; maximum of 256 characters.

• Password: Enter a database access password; maximum of 256 characters.


6.3.2 Parameters Page

Database Connection• initialSize: The initial number of connections that are created when the pool is

started. The default value is 50.

• maxActive: The maximum number of active connections that can be allocated from this pool at the same time. The default value is 300.

• maxIdle: The maximum number of connections that can remain idle in the pool, without extra ones being released or negative for no limit. The default value is 50.

• minIdle: The minimum number of connections that can remain idle in the pool, without extra ones being created or zero to create none. The default value is 10.

Time out• Log stack traces for application code which abandoned a Statement or

Connection: Check to enable or uncheck to disable this feature. The default is enabled.

• Remove abadoned connections if they exceed the “removeAbandonedTimeout”: Check to enable or uncheck to disable this feature. Enabling this feature allows you to recover database connections from poorly written applications which fail to close a connection. The default is enabled.

• removeAbandonedTimeout: The time out time before an abandoned connection can be removed. The default value is 180.

• maxWait: The maximum time in milliseconds that the pool will wait for a connection before throwing an exception. Enter a value from -1 to 99999; wherein -1 means to wait indefinitely. The default value is 60000.


6.3.3 Reinitialize PageThis page allows you to reinitialize the database.

Click the Save button to start.

6.3.4 PostgreSQL Settings Page

• max_connections: The maximum number of concurrent connections to the database server. The default is 2000 connections, but may be less if your kernel settings do not support it. You can enter a value from 0 to 99999. This parameter can only be set at server start. Increasing this parameter may cause PostgreSQL to request more memory than your operating system default configurations allow.


• statement_timeout: Abort any statement that takes over the specified number of milliseconds, starting from the time the command arrives at the server from the client. You can enter a value from 0 to 999999, however, it is recommended to retain the default value 30000.

• shared_buffers: Sets the amount of memory the database server uses for shared memory buffers. The default is typically 64 megabytes (64MB), but may be less if your kernel settings do not support it. Settings significantly higher than the minimum are usually needed for good performance. This parameter can only be set at server start. Increasing this parameter may cause PostgreSQL to request more shared memory than your operating system default configurations allow.

6.4 VNC Repeater

• VNC Port For Devices: Enter a VNC port for devices. The default value is 5500.

• VNC Port For Viewers: Enter a VNC port for viewers. The default value is 5901.

Note: The port values must be from 1 to 65535.
