Overview

All UEM Servers defined on a particular system share a single configuration. A demand-driven UEM Server reads configuration options when it starts, and uses those values while it executes. Because an event-driven Server can run for an extended period of time, the configuration information it caches at start-up can be refreshed whenever the stored configuration options are refreshed (see Configuration Refresh).

A UEM Server's configuration consists of default values that are used to establish the runtime environment and provide missing values for required event definition and event handler parameters.

Configuration File

Stored configuration options reside in the UEM Server configuration file. The name of this file can be set in the UEM component definition file. The default name for this file is uems.conf. This is a plain text file that can be edited with any text editor.

Configuration options stored in the configuration file are done so using a keyword/value combination. The keywords for each configuration option are included along with the description of the option.

UEMLoad

The UEMLoad utility can override a configured default via its command options when it adds records to the event definition and event handler databases. Also, a UEM Manager can override options for a demand-driven UEM Server when it submits a monitoring request. The syntax for those overrides, when available, are included with the option's description.

Configuration Options Categories

The following table categorize available UEM Server configuration options according to function. Each Category name is a link to a table of options in that category. Each Option Name in those tables is a link to detailed information about that option.

Category	Description
Event Definition	Allow default values to be set for any required event definition parameters that were omitted from the UEM Manager or UEMLoad utility request.
Event Handler	Allow default values to be set for any required event handler parameters that were omitted from the UEM Manager or UEMLoad utility request.
Installation	Options that specify installation requirements, such as directory locations
Message	UEM message options.
Monitoring	Control UEM activity.
Network	Manage data transmission between local and remote systems.

Event Definition Category Options

Option Name	Description
ASSIGNED_COMPONENT_NAME	UEM Server component to which a stored event definition is assigned.
TRACKING_INTERVAL	Frequency, in seconds, with which a tracked event occurrence is tested for completeness.
