Step-by-Step Cluster Configuration Process

How to Configure Web Clients

To configure the relevant external web clients:

Search for	Example	Results
A single word	`cat`	Topics that contain the word "cat". You will also find its grammatical variations, such as "cats".
A phrase. You can specify that the search results contain a specific phrase.	`"cat food"` (quotation marks)	Topics that contain the literal phrase "cat food" and all its grammatical variations. Without the quotation marks, the query is equivalent to specifying an OR operator, which finds topics with one of the individual words instead of the phrase.

Search for	Operator	Example
Two or more words in the same topic	`AND` `and` `+` (plus symbol) `&` (ampersand)	`cat AND dog` `"cat food"+milk` `"cat food"&"dog food"`
Either word in a topic	`OR` `or` `\|` (pipe)	`cat OR dog` `cat \| dog`
Topics that do not contain a specific word or phrase	`NOT` `not` `!` (exclamation point)	`NOT cat` `! dog`
Topics that contain one string and do not contain another	`^` (caret)	`cat ^ mouse`
A combination of search types	`( )` parentheses	`cat + (dog \| mouse)` `cat \| dog + (! mouse)`

Stop the Service Manager service.

Open the sm.cfg file, and create a dedicated SM process to listen for Web Services requests using the -debugnode parameter.

The following entries create a dedicated process listening on ports 13085 and 13445.

Explanation

The code excerpt illustrates the various settings for each of the SM process listeners (web services) that enable SM clients to connect to the SM service.

Line 01 defines the load balancer port (13080).

Lines 02 and 03 define the SM ports to which non-dedicated SM clients are redirected by the SM load balancer.

Line 04 defines the debugnode port that is utilized by the dedicated SM clients.

Note Debugnode parameter

The debugnode parameter tells the SM load balancer not to forward any client connection requests to this Service Manager process. Only clients that directly connect to the process can access this port.

How to Configure the Debugnode

To configure the debugnode:

Start the SM service.

Configure any external web service clients to connect directly to the SM processes running in debugnode. When performing an integration using UCMDB, the UCMDBService Manager Adapter for SM should be configured to connect to the debugnode port.

For example, for normal connections set the endpoint URL to:

http://<fully qualified host name>:13085/SM/7/<Service Name>

and for SSL-encrypted connections set the URL to:

https://<fully qualified host name>:13445/SM/7/<Service Name>.

These clients may include UCMDB (for push purposes), Connect-It and additional applications.
