Universal Data Mover Server for Windows

Universal Data Mover Server for Windows

Overview

This page provides information on the Universal Data Mover (UDM) Server, specific to the Windows operating system.

Component Definition

All Universal Agent components managed by Universal Broker have a component definition. The component definition is a text file of options containing component-specific information required by Universal Broker. (For details on how Universal Broker manages components, see the Universal Broker 7.2.x Reference Guide.)

The syntax of a component definition file is the same as a configuration file.

Although component definition files can be edited with any text editor (for example, Notepad), the Universal Configuration Manager application is the recommended way to edit component definitions for Windows.

The component definitions for all Universal Agent components are identified in the Component Definitions property page of the Universal Broker.


The UDM Server component definition is located in the component definition directory of the Universal Broker.

The following table identifies all of the options that comprise the UDM for Windows component definition. Each Option Name is a link to detailed information about that component definition option.

Configuration

Universal Data Mover Server configuration consists of defining runtime and default values. This section describes the UDM Server configuration options.

Configuration File

The configuration file provides a method of specifying configuration values that will not change with each command invocation.

The Universal Data Mover Server configuration file name (and directory) is specified in the Universal Data Mover Server component definition (see Universal Data Mover Component Definition Options). The default configuration file name is udms.conf.

Although configuration files can be edited manually with any text editor (for example, Notepad), the Universal Configuration Manager application is the recommended way to set configuration options in the configuration file.

The Universal Configuration Manager provides a graphical interface and context-sensitive help, and helps protect the integrity of the configuration file by validating all changes to configuration option values.

Configuration Options

The following table identifies all Universal Data Mover Server for Windows configuration options. Each Option Name is a link to detailed information about that configuration option.

Universal Access Control List

UDM Server uses the Universal Access Control List (UACL) file as an extra layer of security. The UACL file contains UDM Server entries that contain Access Control List (ACL) rules that permit or deny access to the UDM Server.

UACL Entries

The syntax of a UACL entry file is the same as the UDM configuration file.

The following table identifies all Universal Data Mover Server for Windows UACL entries. Each UACL Entry Name is a link to detailed information about that UACL entry.
