General tab

Complete the General tab options:

Active – make the application active. When the cluster is started, only active applications are started.
Tracking – automatically sets the working directory identical to the name of the application.
Name – defined by default as “Dfcsrvn” (where “n” increments, beginning with 1), indicating a Dfcsrv application and its associated instance. You can modify this name to be consistent within your own environment.
Working Directory – unselect the Tracking option to enable the Working Directory text box and enter the working directory or accept the default, which matches application name. This directory tells the e-Biz Impact executable where to find the configuration information for this application once the configuration files are deployed to the server.
Instances count– define the minimum and maximum number of instances of the Dfcsrv that can be run.

Complete these options:

Remote Cluster –
- Host Name or IP – enter the host name or IP address of the machine on which the remote cluster resides.
- Discover Cluster Port – use SNMP to discover the TCP port of the remote cluster. Use this option only if the cluster publishes SNMP telemetry.
  - Cluster Name – enter the name of the remote cluster.
  - Domain Name – enter the name of the remote cluster’s domain or accept the default “Impact.”
  - Domain Type – enter the domain type associated with the remote cluster’s domain name or accept the default of “Impact.”
  - SNMP Port – enter the SNMP port associated with the domain entered in the Domain Name field. The default is 161.
- Specify Cluster Port – this TCP port references the remote cluster’s external port through which the remote cluster listens for DFC or CNC requests. To use a specific port, select this option and enter the TCP port to use to access the remote cluster. For e-Biz Impact 5.4.5 and later, only one TCP port is required for external communication with a remote cluster. All interprocess communication (inside the same cluster) is done through shared memory.
If you have a cluster running under domain type “production” and domain name “ABC”, and another cluster running under domain type production, but named “XYZ”, you must modify the domain name to connect to the correct location.

Remote Functions – add any remote functions that you want called on the remote cluster of e-Biz Impact. Enter the function Name, Flavor, and Timeout. Function names and flavors must exactly match the functions that are declared in the remote cluster.

Click Add to add the function to the list. To delete a function, select it from the list and click Delete.
