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	Full path name of the UDM Server program.
WORKING_DIRECTORY	Full path name of the UDM Server 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.

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.

Option	Description
ACTIVITY_MONITORING	Specification for whether or not product activity monitoring events are generated.
CODE_PAGE	Character code page used to translate text data.
DATA_COMPRESSION	Specification for whether or not data is compressed on all standard I/O files.

EVENT_GENERATION	Events to be generated as persistent events.
FRAME_INTERVAL	Number of UDM transfer blocks transferred before a frame-sync message is sent with network fault tolerance turned on.
INSTALLATION_DIRECTORY	Directory on which UDM Server is installed.
LOGON_METHOD	Specification for how users are logged onto the system.
MESSAGE_LEVEL	Level of messages that UDM will write to the Universal message Catalog (UMC) file.
MIN_SSL_PROTOCOL	Minimum SSL/TLS protocol level that will be negotiated and used for communications channels.
MSG_SUPPRESSION_LIST	List of message IDs representing Universal messages to be suppressed.
NETWORK_DELAY	Expected network latency (in seconds).
NLS_DIRECTORY	Directory where the UDM Manager message catalog and code page tables are located.
OUTBOUND_IP	Host or IP address that UDM binds to when initiating outgoing connections to another UDM server.
RECONNECT_RETRY_COUNT	Number of attempts that the UDM Manager will make to re-establish a transfer session when a network fault occurs.
RECONNECT_RETRY_INTERVAL	Number of seconds that UDM will wait between each successive attempt to re-establish a transfer session when a network fault occurs.
RECV_BUFFER_SIZE	Size (in bytes) of the application's incoming buffer for UDM.
SEND_BUFFER_SIZE	Size (in bytes) of the application's outgoing buffer for UDM.
TCP_NO_DELAY	Specification for whether or not to use TCP packet coalescing.
TCP_WINDOW_SIZE	TCP/IP buffer size of a secondary UDM Server that receives a file from a primary Server in a three-party transfer.
TMP_DIRECTORY	Directory that UDM Server uses for temporary files.
TRACE_DIRECTORY	Directory name that UDM Server uses for its Trace files.

TRACE_TABLE	Size of a wrap-around trace table maintained in memory.
USER_SECURITY	User security option.
VERIFY_HOST_NAME	User security option. Specification for whether or not the Universal Broker's X.509 certificate identity is verified.

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.

UACL Entry Name	Description
UDM_ACCESS	Allows or denies access to Universal Data Mover Server services
UDM_MGR_ACCESS	Allows or denies access based on the host name and/or user of the Manager trying to initiate a UDM session
