\n| MessageCacheDirectory<\/td>\n | \n The path on disk the message bus should use to store pending messages; serves the same function as the MessageCacheDirectory setting in IFS OI Server, serverconfig.xml<\/em>, but does not have to be identical.<\/p>\nNote: For IFS OI Cloud versions, this configuration setting is no longer required.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \n| SecurityAlias<\/td>\n | The Security alias for the host server. It is normally not necessary to modify this value from a null element.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \nEdgeHostName<\/strong><\/td>\n| The name of the Edge Host for which this configuration applies. This must match a known Edge Host name in the host server Data Dictionary.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \nPreSharedKey<\/strong><\/td>\n| The Pre-Shared Key corresponding to the named Edge Host.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| TimeoutSeconds<\/td>\n | The maximum amount of time in seconds that web-based operations should be allowed for completion. Default: 3600<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| MaxRetries<\/td>\n | The maximum number of times web-based operations should be attempted before being abandoned. Default: 3<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| RetryDelaySeconds<\/td>\n | The amount of time in seconds between attempts at performing a given web-based operation. Default: 3<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| MessageLoggingEnabled<\/td>\n | If True, enable message transport logging. While potentially useful for diagnosing issues, enabling this option has a performance impact. Default: False<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n<Username><\/Username><\/strong>
\n<Password><\/Password><\/strong><\/p>\nOR<\/p>\n <UseImplicitAuthentication\/><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\nAuthentication is required for a user who is in a role that has the Edge Data privilege.
\nFor a Forms-authenticated user:
\n<Username><\/Username><\/em>
\n<Password><\/Password><\/em><\/p>\nOr to use the Windows account that the service is running under:
\n<UseImplicitAuthentication\/><\/em><\/p>\nIf both kinds of authentication are specified, implicit authentication takes precedence.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \n| LocalHostingPort<\/td>\n | \n The local TCP port used for loopback communication between adaptor host processes and the Edge Host. A SSL certificate must be bound to this port.
\nRefer to the examples using netsh in the sections 'Get a certificate's thumbprint' and ' Bind an SSL certificate to a port number' in Microsoft's 'How to: Configure a Port with an SSL Certificate' article. The port number used should be the LocalHostingPort number. Default: 443<\/p>\n Note: For IFS OI Cloud versions, this configuration setting is no longer required.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| DataIngestorDisable<\/td>\n | If True, this instance will not participate in Data Cache ingestion. This should only set to False for *one* running instance per defined Edge Host, or data ingestion will be duplicated. Default: True<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| DataCacheDirectory<\/td>\n | Location where temporary data cache files are stored.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
\nMultiple Edge Hosts<\/h2>\nMultiple Edge Host instances can be run on the same system at the same time. Each instance requires its own configuration file and use of the command line option:<\/p>\n -config:\"path_to_file\"<\/p>\n to point to its configuration file.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" An Edge Host allows IFS OI Server Adaptors to be installed remotely from the main IFS OI Server machine, and is primarily used to allow IFS OI Explorer to get data securely from an on-premise datasource.<\/p>\n Read more<\/i><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":70251,"parent":3649,"menu_order":7,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":"","_members_access_role":[],"_members_access_error":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[98,1170,1167,1168,1169],"class_list":["post-44724","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tutorial","tag-adaptors","tag-cloud","tag-edge","tag-host","tag-remote-adaptor","Product-srv"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/oihelp.corporate.ifs.com\/help\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/44724","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/oihelp.corporate.ifs.com\/help\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/oihelp.corporate.ifs.com\/help\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/oihelp.corporate.ifs.com\/help\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/oihelp.corporate.ifs.com\/help\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=44724"}],"version-history":[{"count":32,"href":"https:\/\/oihelp.corporate.ifs.com\/help\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/44724\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":72583,"href":"https:\/\/oihelp.corporate.ifs.com\/help\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/44724\/revisions\/72583"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/oihelp.corporate.ifs.com\/help\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3649"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/oihelp.corporate.ifs.com\/help\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/70251"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/oihelp.corporate.ifs.com\/help\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=44724"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/oihelp.corporate.ifs.com\/help\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=44724"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/oihelp.corporate.ifs.com\/help\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=44724"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}} | | | | | |
