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 7.3.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.

Option Name

Description

AUTOMATICALLY_START

Specification for whether or not UDM Server starts automatically when Universal Broker is started.

COMPONENT_NAME

Name by which the clients know the UDM Server.

CONFIGURATION_FILE

Full path name of the UDM Server configuration file.

RUNNING_MAXIMUM

Maximum number of UDM Servers that can run simultaneously.

START_COMMAND

WORKING_DIRECTORY

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.
