%CSP.Mgr.GatewayMgr

abstract class %CSP.Mgr.GatewayMgr

The Gateway Manager class defines an API used to control a Gateway from ObjectScript code. These provide the infrastructure for accessing (and modifying) the Gateway's internal tables, configuration, and log files from participating servers. This functionality is only provided by Version 2012 Gateways and later.

Participating InterSystems IRIS servers are those to which the Gateway holds at least one connection. The Gateway will not allow access to these facilities from any other client. This does mean, however, that ObjectScript routines cannot access Gateway resources until the Gateway has created its first connection to that server - even if the Gateway contains a configuration (under 'Server Access') for accessing that InterSystems IRIS server.

Security

For read-oriented methods (e.g. GetDefaultParams()), users must hold the %Admin_Operate:Use or %Admin_Manage:Use privilege.
For update-oriented methods (e.g. SetDefaultParams()), users must hold the %Admin_Manage:Use privilege.

Logging

All Gateway Manager commands are recorded in the Event Log (Gateway Log Level 'v2'). For example a request for the configuration file would be logged as:

Gateway Management: CallBack Request for Information
Command=sys_get_CSP_ini; Bytes Returned=4206;
CSPSYS=sys_set_config:default&Server_Response_Timeout=300
A request to update the default configuration would be logged as something like:
Gateway Management: Response to CallBack: /csp/samples/%CSP.Callback.cls
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type= application/x-www-form-urlencoded
Connection: close
Content-Length: 83
CSPID: MyToken
Errors are recorded:
Gateway Management: Bad Request
CSPrequest: xxx_yyy_CSP_log

Types of Methods

The methods are divided into two groups. Those that GET information from the Gateway and those that SEND information or action requests to the Gateway. These methods send asynchronous requests to the Gateway. To get a list of gateways see %CSP.Mgr.GatewayRegistry.

GET GET methods wait for ten seconds for the CSP infrastructure to process the request.
  1. A status of $$$OK indicates that the requested data was successfully returned
  2. The status of $$$GatewayRequestTimeoutSec indicates that the request timed out.
  3. The status will indicate that an error occurred in processing the request.
  4. These functions wait for the return data (up to 10 seconds). Generally, when the load on the server is not too heavy, they will return very quickly as the return a small amount of data. The exception is GetCSPLog() which can return a very large amount of data and potentially time out.
SENDThe status return indicates that the request was successfully sent to the Gateway. However, it does not indicate that updates were successfully applied.

When a configuration is interactively modified, each parameter will be fully checked for validity. If a parameter or a value give for a particular parameter is unacceptable, then an error will be generated and the existing value is left unmodified. In some cases, the Gateway will modify a value such that it makes more sense in the context of the current configuration. For these cases a warning is generated with notification of the 'corrected' value.

For commands updating configuration parameters, the new values should appear as a list of [name,value] pairs. For example:

$lb("Server_Response_Timeout=90","Queued_Request_Timeout=70")

  1. Note that all configuration parameters are case-sensitive.
  2. All passwords will be encrypted (as appropriate) before they are saved in CSP.ini.
  3. Setting a parameter to empty string ("") effectively deletes it from CSP.ini.

  4. In all cases the parameter names should be specified exactly as they appear in CSP.ini. The parameter values, in most cases, take the values as shown in the management form.
