IP-Name

(Component name: com.bmc.arsys.server)

Option used to specify that a server has multiple names. This option can appear in the configuration file more than once. When checking workflow and connections against itself, the server compares its server name, host name, IP aliases, and any names specified by this option to the name passed to it.

If the name matches any of those names, the server concludes that the workflow or connection is for itself. This option can be used for servers with variable length domains or for servers on computers with multiple internet addresses. For example, to connect to a computer named tix as tix, tix.company.com, or tix.eng.company.com, an administrator would create three IP-Name entries, one for each connection name. To connect to a computer with multiple internet addresses such as tix.company.com, tix.biggercompany.com, and tix.evenbigger.com, an administrator would create an IP-Name entry for each of those addresses.

Bitmask indicating the type of information to log in the common log form (AR System Log:ALL). To activate one bit, set this option to its value (values are listed under the Debug-mode option). To activate two or more bits, add their values, and set this option to the total. For example, to activate bits 1 and 3, set this option to 5 because bit 1 has a value of 1 and bit 3 has a value of 4. To deactivate a bit, subtract its value from the value of this option. This option does not apply to the following bits because information about their corresponding applications is not logged to a form:

• Bit 8 (value = 128 ) for ARFORK.
• Bit 16 (value = 32768 ) for the DSO server.
• Bit 17 (value = 65536 ) for Approval Server.

Bitmask indicating the information to log in predefined forms (for example, AR System Log: API and AR System Log: Filter). To activate one bit, set this option to its value (values are listed under the Debug-mode option). To activate two or more bits, add their values, and set this option to the total. For example, to activate bits 1 and 3, set this option to 5 because bit 1 has a value of 1 and bit 3 has a value of 4. To deactivate a bit, subtract its value from the value of this option. This option does not apply to the following bits because no log form is created for their corresponding applications:

• Bit 8 (value = 128 ) for ARFORK.
• Bit 16 (value = 32768 ) for the DSO server.
• Bit 17 (value = 65536 ) for Approval Server.
