Task 4.3 Configure File-AID Server License

The execution server installed with Topaz Workbench uses Topaz Workbench settings defined in Windows > Preferences > Enterprise Services. This happens automatically; no additional user action is required.

When BMC Compuware cloud license is used, the user should add the following statements to topaz.ini located at <Topaz Install Directory>/eclipse/

• Dcustomerinfo.customernumber=<Customer Number>
• Dcustomerinfo.siteid=<Site Id>

The execution server installed as a standalone service by default tries to connect to the File-Aid/Services defined to it in DataPrivacy.properties to retrieve CES preferences. If FAS is configured, no other user action is required.

The above functionality can be overridden in the ces.properties file located in the engine configuration directory. The default contents of this file are as follows:

• When useFileAidServicesCesPreferences preference is set to true, the engine connects to File-AID Services using host an port defined in dataPrivacy.properties to retrieve CES preferences. In this case, all other settings in this file will be ignored.

• Location of Compuware Enterprise Services (CES)

• If Cloud Licensing is used, useCloudLicense property should be set to true and the following three properties have to be defined:
•  cesCloudUri
•  customerNumbe
•  siteId
• If local CES is used, useCloudLicense should be set to false and the properties listed can be left blank.

useCloudLicense=false 

cesCloudUri= 

To override the default behavior, useFileAidServicesCesPreferences should be set to false and the cesUri should be populated with the desired CES location.

The change results in the execution server using CES server on yourCesServer machine and yourCesPort.

Note that the colons in the CES Uri have to be escaped. If the configuration is changed the execution server has to be restarted for the changes to take effect.

If you wish to use BMC Compuware-maintained CES cloud license, contact BMC Support.
