MCP T27 Application Configuration Properties

The following properties apply to MCP T27 data source projects:

Property

Description

T27 Source Project Name

A read-only property that indicates the name of the T27 data source project that was given when the project was created.

Description

A description of the T27 application and data source project.

Connect Timeout (seconds)

The amount of time before a connection times out. The value can be any 32 bit integer. The default is 30 seconds.

Reply Timeout (seconds)

The amount of time allowed for a reply to be received. The value can be any 32 bit integer. The default is 20 seconds.

Connector Type

A read-only property with a value of mcpT27.

MCP Host Name

The name of the MCP server on which the T27 application resides.

Note: To deploy an application on the ePortal platform and before staging the application, ensure that the host name matches the back-end server name that is configured in ePortal Manager. The deployment fails if the host name does not match the back-end server name.

MCP Host Window Name

The Window name of the T27 application.

Port Number

The port number that is used to connect to the T27 application. The default port number is 37654. The value can be between 1 and 65535.

Use Secure Connection

If selected, the application uses a secure connection when connecting to the ClearPath server.

Enable Redundant Connections

If selected, the ePortal application is enabled to communicate with the redundant host applications at the same time.

Redundant Connection List

The string that specifies the redundant connections.

Redundant connections are specified in a string. Each redundant connection specification is separated by a semicolon. Each connection specification consists of Name = Value strings, separated by commas. Name can be any DataSource epconfig tag name (varies by DataSource type). The Names are the element tag names in the DataSource.epconfig file and the Names are case-sensitive.

Example:

HostName=Host1, PortNumber=1234; HostName= Host2, PortNumber=4567

Note: To deploy an application on the ePortal platform and before staging the application, ensure that the host name matches the back-end server name that is configured in the ePortal Manager. The deployment fails if the host name does not match the back-end server name.

Redundant Connection Load Balancing

Specifies the load balancing method used by this application. The possible values are: RoundRobin and FailOver.

In the RoundRobin method, the Orchestration connect processing rotates in round-robin style to select the application connection to be used when establishing a session. For stateful connections, the selected connection is used throughout the session. If an application connection is unreachable during the connect processing, the next connection in the list is tried. If all connections are unreachable, the connect failed event is raised. An unreachable application connection is removed from the list of connections.

In the FailOver method, the Orchestration connect processing always attempts to establish a session using the primary connection. If the connection is unreachable, then the connection is established using the next connection in the list. If all connections fail, the usual error is returned. If the primary connection becomes unreachable, the next reachable connection is promoted to primary connection.

Redundant Connection Retry Interval

The maximum time specified in minutes before retrying an unreachable connection. The actual time between connection retries will gradually increase until this value is reached. The value must be a non-negative integer value.
