Add Object Managers

Adding object managers to CA SDM servers improves the overall system performance. CA SDM installs a default object manager on all servers. You cannot modify the default object manager, but you can add more object managers on any CA SDM server to increase the server performance. Depending on your configuration type, CA SDM installs a default object manager on the following servers:

• Conventional: Primary server.
• Advanced Availability: All servers.

Follow these steps:

1. Select Systems, Configurations under the Administration tab.

   The Configurations List page opens.

2. Select the configuration to which you want to add the object manager.

   The Configuration Detail page opens.

3. Select the Object Managers tab.

   The Object Manager List page opens displaying the object managers that are configured for the server. The default object manager (if any) is also displayed in the list.

4. Click Add Object Manager.

   The Create new Object Manager page opens.

5. Complete the following fields:

   Host Name

   Specifies the host name to which you want to add the object manager. You can click the Search button to look up for the servers added to your CA SDM installation.

   For an advanced availability configuration type, the host name is read-only and is automatically populated based on the host name you specified while creating the configuration.

   Display Name

   Specifies a display name for the object manager. The display name appears on the clients to indicate which object manager it is connected to.

   Object Manager Group

   Specifies the group name to which the object manager is added.

   Important! Enter only English characters for the object group name for any localized language.

   You can group object managers so that the groups can be assigned to provide service to specific groups of web engines. Users that require this feature often have web engines that are geographically separated from the primary server and want to collocate an object manager and the webengine. The users group the object managers that are assigned to the local webengines, and then assign the webengines to this group of object managers.

   Accept Mask

   Specifies the mask for the object manager. The Accept mask feature tells the object manager from which clients it accepts connections.

   For example, a web engine attempts to connect to an object manager with names such as web:seattle:1, web:seattle:2 or web:texas:1. You can specify an Accept mask like web:seattle.* to accept all seattle connections and reject others. You also specify a mask like web:.* to accept connections from web engines and reject connections from clients.

   Record Status

   Specifies whether the object manager is active or inactive.

   Note: Before setting the record status of an object manager to inactive, you must remove the link between the object manager and associated web engines.

6. Click Save.

   The object manager that you added appears in the Object Managers list.
