Configuring general properties [ITA]

About this task

In the JobManager.ini or JobManagerGW.ini file, you can add some general properties to the following section:

[ITA]

You can add or modify the following properties:

ActionPollers

The number of the thread processes started on the gateway workstation to communicate with the broker server installed on the master domain manager or dynamic domain manager. The default value is 1. Specify this value if you have more than 100 dynamic agents that communicate with the broker server installed on the master domain manager or dynamic domain manager by using the same gateway. Restart the agent after the property change.

http_proxy

The URL of the proxy configured in a distributed environment through which agents or gateways communicate to the broker server installed on the master domain manager or dynamic domain manager. The value is https_proxy =http://<proxy_workstation>:<proxy_workstation_port>, where:

<proxy_workstation> is the fully qualified host name of the workstation where the proxy is configured.
<proxy_workstation_port> is the port number of the workstation where the proxy is configured.

Restart the agent after the property change.

DebugDir

You can use this parameter to enable tracing for the dynamic agent to help determine what information is being sent to and from a dynamic agent workstation. Perform the following steps:

Procedure

Create a directory to dump the files sent and received by the dynamic agent, for example /tmp/DA_DD. This directory needs to be writable by the user owning the dynamic agent.
Add the DebugDir parameter to the path of the directory you created, for example:
```
DebugDir = /tmp/DA_DD
```
Restart the dynamic agent using the following commands:
```
ShutDownLwa
StartUpLwa
```
Remember to monitor the debug directory on a regular basis to ensure it does not become too large. No automatic check is performed on the debug director. For more information, see Enable packet tracing for dynamic agent using ITA parameter DebugDir.
