Configuring the Java RFC Orbix Server (SAP-Bibliothek - RFC Java Class Library (BC-FES-AIT))

Configuring the Java RFC Orbix Server

Use

The Orbix run-time component includes various utilities for managing your Orbix server. The most important one is the Orbix Server Manager utility.

You can use the Orbix Server Manager to manually configure the Java RFC Orbix server. More specifically, you can:

Specify the maximum number of Orbix servers that can be launched
View and specify who is authorized to invoke a Java RFC Orbix server, and who can send requests to it
Customize the Orbix server invocation command to control server timeout and Orbix server thread pool size
Connect to one or more hosts where the Orbix daemon is running. Note that the Orbix daemon has to be started on the host(s) for the Orbix Server Manager to be able to connect.
Manually launch or stop the Orbix server. The Orbix server's icon is animated when it is running and still when it is stopped.

Prerequisites

The Java RFC Orbix server components must be installed, and the Orbix daemon must be started.

Procedure

Invoke the Server Manager utility from the Java RFC program group in the Start menu:

StartàPrograms àJava RFC àServer Manager.

Use the Server Manager to enter any custom properties for the Orbix server. The Server Manager lists the Java RFC server as RFC under your server computer name. To enter this information double-click on the RFC entry to bring up the Server Record dialog.

Enter any of these properties for the RFC server in the Server Record dialog:

Tab	Property	Use
Name	Number of Orbix Server Objects	Use this field to specify the maximum number of instances of the Orbix server process that can be launched for multiple client requests.
Name	Orbix Server Name	This property has to be "RFC" for Java RFC clients to obtain proper connections.
Rights	Launch and Invoke Rights	Launches the rights control that governs who can start the Orbix server process. Invokes the rights control that governs who can use the RFC server. It also governs who can invoke the rights control's methods. Choosing "all" grants rights to everyone, and is the default setting for the Orbix server. You can choose to restrict rights for specific NT users.
Methods	Marker/Method	This value is set by default to "*", indicating that all Java RFC requests use the launch command as specified below. Do not change this entry.
Methods	Launch/ Command	The Orbix daemon uses this command to automatically launch the Orbix server when the Orbix server receives its first client request. You can specify a customized JRFC server launch command using this property; that is, you may specify the Orbix server's timeout and thread pool size parameters by entering the complete command in this field. Enter the command in double quotes. For example, to specify an Orbix server timeout of five seconds, enter the following (include the double quotes): "jrfcserver -t 5" See the topic Starting the Java RFC Orbix Server for the syntax of the Orbix server launch command. If you specify a customized launch command, it is added to the existing launch command at the Server Record dialog. Delete any existing launch command to ensure that the command you have specified takes effect.

Save your changes by choosing OK at the Server Record dialog.
