PR4 node
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. The name will appear on the card or in the Node column and will identify the node among all those listed.
Description: optionally enter a description for the node.
VFS: select the VFS that will be assigned to the node. The folders - or Queue Managers - of the selected VFS will be listed.
Point-to-Point Security (PPS): if enabled, this value will be applied to the line and to the remote node. It requires these fields to be filled in:
Node key: select an existing key or create a new one. Existing keys are listed 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.
Create the line
To create the line, click the New button and fill in these fields:
Name: enter a name for the line.
Local port: enter the local listening port of the PR4 node.
Description: optionally enter a description of the server.
Protocol type: choose ISC or ISCL.
Timeout (in seconds): set the number of seconds without network activity to wait before closing the session. Default value: 60 seconds.
VFS: in Data Mover Smart, each server is associated to one VFS. The first level of the VFS virtual path is the queue manager name, he second level is the queue name.
Point-to-Point Security (PPS): this value is inherited from the node and cannot be modified.
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.
Create the remote node
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 node.
Description: optionally enter a description.
Host: enter the address to which in Data Mover Smart will connect.
Remote port: enter the remote port of the host to which Data Mover Smart will connect.
Protocol type: select either ISC or ISCL.
Local QM: first-level virtual path created in the Data Mover Smart VFS to communicate with the node.
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.
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.
