Application
Options
To access the Application Options
dialog, in the Display Builder select Tools>Options.
Options specified in JMX tabs can be saved in an initialization file (JMXOPTIONS.ini). On
startup, the initialization file is read by the Display Builder, Display Viewer,
Display Server, Data Server and Historian to set initial values. If no
directory has been specified for your initialization files
and JMXOPTIONS.ini is not found in the directory where you started the
application, then Enterprise RTView will search under lib in your
installation directory. NOTE: When you start an Enterprise RTView application
from the Windows Start menu, it runs from the demos directory.
NOTE: Options specified using
command line arguments will override values
set in initialization files. There
are two Application Options tabs for JMX: JMX Connections and
JMX Administration. JMX Connections
This tab allows you to add
or remove connections and set your default connection.
When you add a JMX
connection to the list it will be highlighted in yellow indicating that
Enterprise RTView has not connected to it. To attempt to connect to a JMX
connection, click OK, Apply or Save. If the background
remains yellow, then Enterprise RTView was unable
make a connection. Check that your JMX connection was setup correctly
and that the JMX instrumented application is running.
NOTE: Regardless of which
tab you are currently working from in the Application Options dialog, each
time you click OK, Apply, or Save Enterprise RTView
will attempt to connect to all unconnected connections.
Default Connection
- Name of connection used as the default for data attachments. Select from
drop down menu to change default setting.
Add
Connection - Click to open the Add JMX Connection
dialog. To edit, select a connection
from the JMX Connections list and double-click.
 |
Connection Name |
Name to use when referencing this JMX connection in your data attachments. |
Host or IP |
Host name or IP address of the MBean
server. |
Port
|
Port that your JMX instrumented
application is using to expose MBean methods. |
Enter
URL |
Select to enter the URL
(below) that should be used to create this connection. Otherwise,
the Host/IP and Port specified will be used to construct a URL for this connection. |
URL |
URL that should be used to create
this connection. Select Enter URL to enable this field. Enter
local to make a local connection to an in-process MBean server. |
Use
Client Credentials |
If selected, the User Name and
Password from the Enterprise RTView login will be used instead of the User
Name and Password entered in the Add JMX Connection dialog. Connections to
this database will only be made when you are running with login
enabled.
If you will be using the Data
Server or the Display
Server with a JMX connection that has this option enabled, you must
enable Use Client Credentials for Database Login in these
applications. In both of these deployments, a connection will be made
for each client login, as the users log in. Once all of the clients for a
login have closed, the connection for that login is removed. |
User

User name to use when creating this
connection. This parameter is optional. |
Password |
Password to use when creating this
connection. This parameter is optional. |
Remove Connection
- Select a connection from the list and click
Remove

JMX
Administration
Expand
Composite Attributes |
Select
to expand composite attributes so that you display one column for each
item when a composite attribute is displayed in a table with other attributes.
The column name will be compositename.itemname. |
Default Poll Interval |
Enter the time in
milliseconds to control how often MBean attributes are polled or operations in
data attachments are executed if no Poll Interval is specified in the data
attachment. Default is 0, which polls MBean attributes and operations according
to the
General Update Period specified
in Application Options on the General tab.
NOTE: Because the Default Poll Interval is superseded by the
General Update Period, the amount of time
elapsed between MBean polls may be longer than the value entered. For example,
if the General Update Period is 2000 milliseconds and the Default Poll Interval
is 5000 milliseconds, MBean attributes and operations will be polled every six
seconds. |
