Creating Client Configurations
On systems with the Enterprise Monitor, Enterprise Message Viewer, and the Enterprise Message Bank, you must create client configurations that describe how to access the client productions that you are monitoring or whose messages you are viewing.
Introduction
The Enterprise Monitor, Enterprise Message Viewer, and the Enterprise Message Bank all communicate with client productions. To make this possible, the same namespace must define a configuration for each client.
Client productions are called Enterprise Systems.
Creating a Client Configuration
To create a client configuration:
-
Log in to the Management Portal on the instance that is running the Enterprise Message Bank, Enterprise Message Viewer, or Enterprise Monitor.
-
Switch to the namespace that needs access to the client systems. The client configurations are available only within the namespace where you define them.
-
For each production that you need to access, create production credentials that have an InterSystems IRIS® username and password for a user that has sufficient privileges to access the production.
For information, see Defining Credentials.
-
For each production that you need to access, if needed, create a TLS configuration to connect to this client production.
For information, see InterSystems TLS Guide.
-
Click Interoperability > Configure > Enterprise Systems. InterSystems IRIS then displays the list of client configurations that are currently defined within this namespace.
-
Click New Connection.
The page then displays an editing area.
-
Enter the following information:
-
Name—A convenient short name for this client production. You must specify a value if you want to resend messages to this production.
-
Web IP Address—The server IP address and the web server port used by InterSystems IRIS on that server (separated by a colon). For example: enserver1:80
-
Namespace—Namespace in which the client production is running.
-
Queue Threshold—The threshold for queues for the Enterprise Monitor.
-
Service Web Application Path—The name of the default web application for the given namespace, followed by a slash (/), as defined on the client system. Leave blank to use the default /csp/namespace/, which is the usual web application name for IRIS installations. For IRIS for Health, Health Connect, or HealthShare instances, the usual web application name is instead /csp/healthshare/namespace/services/.
If you are not certain what to use, an administrator of the target system can check the web application name.
-
SOAP Credentials—Credentials to use for accessing the system. Select the production credentials created previously.
-
SSL Configuration—TLS configuration to use for viewing messages with the Enterprise Message Viewer or for resending messages from the Enterprise Message Bank.
-
-
Click Save.
-
To edit or delete an existing entry, select edit or delete.
If you are using the Enterprise Message Bank, when the Message Bank receives a message from a new namespace, it creates an entry for that system. You can edit this entry to add a name, the SOAP credentials, and the TLS configuration so that you can resend messages to this system.
