Module configuration parameters

  • Filter Servlet Requests
    • no - will not filter any request to the Servlets.
    • yes - will accept any packet coming from itself or any SOP in the cluster.
  • Filter Sip Service
    • no - will accept connections from the external interface.
    • yes - will not bind to the external interface. This service will not be accessible. If you use netConsole, this option must be set to 'no'.
  • Logging level:

    • DEBUG: log only DEBUG messages
  • Maximum logfile size:
    • Maximum size that a log file can have. Each backup file will have this sized

Post-Install Actions

ALERT! Application Management Server has to be restarted after module installation. This can be done through the SOPShell :
DONE Navigate to:  Subsystems > Management Server > Start/Stop

In case this module is installed on a Baseline 1 High Availability SOP that is currently in standby mode, you need to use the shell plugin to deactivate the processes. This is available in the High Availability module version > 2.6.0.
