Universal Command Server for UNIX - Configuration

Configuration

Universal Command Server configuration consists of defining runtime and default values via Server configuration options.

See Configuration Management for Universal Agent for details on Universal Agent configuration methods.

Manager Override

A UCMD Manager can specify certain UCMD Server configuration options when it makes its request for command execution to the UCMD Server. The UCMD Manager command line option -server (SERVER_OPTIONS) is used to specify UCMD Server options.

Which options are available for manager override depend on the UCMD Server platform and release. UCMD Server configuration options specify a manager override option (see Universal Command Server Configuration Options) only if applicable. If override is not specified, no UCMD Manager override is available.

The UCMD Manager is not notified of override errors. The UCMD Server logs the error and continues processing the request.

Configuration File

The configuration file provides the simplest method of specifying configuration options whose values you do not want changed with each command invocation.

The UCMD Server configuration file name is specified in the Universal Command Server component definition. The default name is ucmds.conf. See the component definition file to determine the directory in which it is located. This file can be edited manually with any text editor.

Note

For any changes made directly to the UCMD Server configuration file to become active, a Universal Broker refresh is required, or the Universal Broker daemon must be restarted.
