Nodes
The Nodes section gathers lines and remote nodes for the PR4 protocol. A line refers to a PR4 server, while remote nodes are the connections to client applications.
First of all, the PR4 node must be created, then the line and the remote node can be added.
To create a PR4 node, click the New button on the top left corner and fill in these fields:
Type: PR4 is pre-selected.
Name: assign a name to the node you are creating.
Description: optionally enter a description for the node.
VFS: select the VFS that will be assigned to the node. The Queue Managers will be listed below the VFS drop-down list.
Point-to-Point Security (PPS): this value will be applied to the line and to the remote node. It requires these fields to be filled in:
Node key: select the key or create a new key. This field lists keys created in Settings → Security → Key Store.
PPS compression support: enable this option to activate compression.
PPS Hash Algorithm: select the Hash Algorithm among those listed.
PPS Crypto Algorithm: select the Crypto Algorithm among those listed.
Click the Save button. The Lines and Remote Nodes tabs will appear on the right of the screen.
The Node can be enabled and disabled by selecting the toggle button at the top of the panel.
To create the line, click the New button and fill in these fields:
Name: enter a name for the line, which is the PR4 server.
Local port: enter the port of the PR4 server.
Description: optionally enter a description of the server.
Timeout (in seconds): set the number of seconds without network activity to wait before closing the session. Default value: 60 seconds.
VFS: this value is inherited from the node and cannot be modified.
Point-to-Point Security (PPS): this value is inherited from the node and cannot be modified.
To create the remote node, click the New button and fill in these fields:
Single or Bulk: select Single to create a remote node for a single Local Queue Manager or Bulk to create a remote node for multiple Local Queue Managers. With Bulk, you are able to select all queue managers or specific queue managers from the drop-down list.
Name: enter the name of the connection to the remote queue manager.
Description: optionally enter a description of the connection.
Host: enter the host to which DMS will connect.
Remote port: enter the remote port of the host to which DMS will connect.
Protocol type: select either ISC or ISCL.
Remote Node name: enter the name of the remote node.
Remote Queue Manager name: enter the name of the remote queue manager.
Timeout (in seconds): set the number of seconds without network activity to wait before closing the session. Default value: 60 seconds.
Max retry: set the maximum number of connection retries. If set to 0, no retries will be executed.
Point-to-Point Security (PPS): this value is inherited from the node and can be modified:
PPS compression support: enable this option to activate compression.
PPS Hash Algorithm: select the Hash Algorithm among those listed.
PPS Crypto Algorithm: select the Crypto Algorithm among those listed.
Lines will be listed on the lines tab with the following options appearing when clicking the 3-dot icon on the right of the row:
Clone: create a copy of the line. The -copy suffix will be added to the line name but you can change the name as needed.
Navigate: open the VFS configured in the line and navigate its folders.
Disable: turn off the line without removing it from the list.
Start: start the connection with the server.
Delete: remove the line from the list.
Remote nodes will be listed on the remote nodes tab with the following options appearing when clicking the 3-dot icon on the right of the row:
Test: test the connection to the client. You can click the Test button to start the test without credential. By enabling the Use Credential toggle button, you can test the connection with or without credential. You can select the credential from the drop-down list or enter the username and the password manually.
Clone: create a copy of the remote node. The -copy suffix will be added to the remote node name but you can change the full name as needed.
Disable: turn off the remote node without removing it from the list.
Delete: remove the remote node from the list.
