System Management

*.platformId

Unique platform identification number (numeric) - Used to allow multiple copies of the platform to run on the same host machine. User can override this value by setting their environment variables.

*.transpathId

Unique TransPath identification number for the ASN - Consists of 1 to 4 hexadecimal digits.

*.homeDirRoot

Root directory path for the platform - Relative path names are derived from this root directory.

*.logPrio

Minimum priority of operational message saved in the logs - Can be changed via the Change Log Level MML command. The following are valid values:

Debug: This priority is used only for detailed debugging messages. 1 - Logging at this priority is not recommended during production, because this causes a large volume of messages to be logged, and degrades system performance.

Info: These messages indicate an operation proceeding as expected. This is the normal logging level for production. This is the default.

Notice: These are status messages generated during the normal course of operation.

Warn: These messages indicate a condition with little or no impact on the operational state of the process, but which may require attention

Error: These messages indicate an unexpected error that is recoverable but degrades performance.

Critical: These messages indicate an error so severe that a process cannot continue operating.

Alert: These messages indicate an error severe enough to impact call processing functions, or failure of the entire system.

Emergency: Not currently used

*.logDest

Logging Destination to which the operational messages are routed. The following are valid values:

file: Local platform file in the "var" directory

stdErr: Standard error I/O stream which defaultsto the local screen. Will not display when the "runAsDaemon" parameter is set.

sysLog: UNIX System Log mechanism.

all: Enable routing to all three of the destinations.

*.logFileFmt

This is the name of log file used when the logDest parameter is set to "file".

If this file does not exist in XECfgParm.dat, then the default log file is "default.log" in the log directory.

*.logFacility

Default message logging facility to write upon - This should always have the following value:

Platform = general message logging

*.tablesFile

Name of the file describing all of the tables of persistent objects that can be loaded.

*.autonomous

Determines whether a process is controlled by the Process Manager. The following are valid values:

true: Not controlled by the Process Manager.

false: Controlled by the Process Manager.

MML.autonomous = true must be set or MML sessions do not operate properly.

Default value used during installation should not be changed. Changes may prevent the Process Manager from controlling a process.

*.runAsDaemon

True/false

If true, the process runs as a daemon. These include the following:

· detaching from controlling terminal.

· becoming a process group leader.

· closing all open files including: stdin, stdout, and stderr.

· opening stdin, stdout, and stderr to /dev/null.

· setting default directory to ../var.

· clearing unmask bits to avoid file protection conflicts.

If false, it will not run as a daemon.

The default value used during installation should not be changed. Changes may prevent the Process Manager from controlling a process.

Engine.LCMMdlFile

Universal Call Model MDL object File

engine.CCMdlFile

Call Context MDL object file

engine.SysCLIval

Provides a default value which indicates whether CLI Validation processing is to be performed on phone calls.

The following are valid values:

true: CLI validation is enabled.

false: CLI validation is not enabled.

engine.SysPropagateChanAvail

The valid value is the following:

true

engine.SysNumTrans

Provides a default value which indicates whether number translation is to be performed on phone calls. The following are valid values:

true: number translation is enabled.

false: number translation is not enabled.

engine.SysToneDetect

Provides a default value which indicates whether Tone Detection (i.e., for in-band analogue signals) is to be performed. Valid values are:

true: tone detection is enabled.

false: tone detection is not enabled.

engine.SysMinOverlap

Positive integer indicating the minimum number of dialed digits allowed on a signalling channel that can carry overlap signalling call initiation messages.

Engine.SysMaxOverlap

Positive integer indicating the maximum number of dialed digits allowed on a signalling channel that can carry overlap signalling call initiation messages.

IoChanMgr.trace

Unit Test tracing of line and channel state machines - It generates a considerable amount of information to the log so set it to "true" only when debugging a particular problem with line or channel service state problems.

IoChanMgr.alarmTimer

Polling period to check alarms in the IO Subsystem. Should be set to zero (the default). This prevents the hardware alarms from being polled.

IoChanMgr.statTimer

Polling period to collect measurements in the IO Subsystem - Should be set around three seconds (30000 milliseconds). Setting to zero (the default) prevents statistics from being polled. This is not necessary for some I/O cards. Please refer to the Product Release Notes.

MeasM.evalInterval

Measurement Manager polling interval in seconds.

procM.minCheckHealthInterval

Minimum interval in seconds, that the procM uses for checking process health. The default value provided during installation should not be changed.

procM.minCheckHealthTimeout

Minimum interval in seconds that the procM allows for timing out on response when health is checked. The default value provided during installation should not be changed.

procM.minKillGracePeriod

Minimum interval in seconds that the procM allows between sending a SIGTERM and sending a SIGKILL when forcing a process to exit. The default value provided during installation should not be changed.

procM.almDwellInterval

Interval in seconds the procM waits before clearing a process alarm. This is used to avoid "bouncing" of alarms. The default value provided during installation should not be changed.

procM.servFmt

Format string used to generate process-specific FIFOs for process management. It has placeholders for platform identification number and process identification number. The default value provided during installation should not need to be changed.

procM.recovDbFile

Determines dbm files used for procM recovery. The default value provided during installation should not need to be changed.

cfgM.recovDbFile

Determines dbm files used for cfgM recovery. The default value provided during installation should not need to be changed.

MML.timeout

Default timeout period for commands in milliseconds - If the command takes longer than this to execute the MML session aborts with an error.

MML.<command>=<time val>

Specific command timeout where <command> is the command name and <time val> is in milliseconds. For example, the following entries in XECfgParm.dat:

MML.timeout = 4000

MML.set-sc-state = 10000

The default values provided during installation are normally optimal. L MML is configured to abort all commands after four seconds except for set-sc-state which aborts after ten seconds.

XE.heartBeatRate

Heartbeat rate in seconds from 5 to 255. Must correspond to the physical setting on the Alarm Relay Unit (ARU).

XE.ARUWriteDevice

Name of the device where the Alarm Relay Unit (ARU) is expecting input from the platform.

foverd.fifo1

Name of FIFO file used by failover daemon for testing purposes. Default value is normally adequate.

foverd.fifo2

Name of FIFO file used by failover daemon for testing purposes. Default value is normally adequate.

foverd.udpPortA

The socket port number used by the failover daemon running on the local system. Should be greater than 1024, and should not conflict with socket ports used by any other applications on the same host.

foverd.udpPortB

The socket port number used by the failover daemon running on the remote system. Should be greater than 1024, and should not conflict with socket ports used by any other applications on the same host.

foverd.udpPortAddrA

The socket IP address used by the failover daemon running on the local system to exchange messages with the remote system.

foverd.udpPortAddrB

The socket IP address used by the failover daemon running on the remote system to exchange messages with the local system.

foverd.asyncPort

The name of the serial port used to exchange messages with the remote system.

foverd.pollTimeout

The frequency at which new I/O messages are processed, in milliseconds. The default value is normally optimal.

foverd.peerCommTimeout

The timeout period after which the remote system is assumed to be unavailable, in milliseconds. Failover will be triggered automatically if there is no communication with the remote system after this timeout period. The default value is normally optimal. Making the timeout value too small will cause false failovers to occur, resulting in possible service interruptions.

foverd.delayTimeout

The amount of delay offset added when the two failover daemons become too closely synchronized. The default value is normally optimal.

foverd.pidFile

The file used to store process information used for recovery purposes. The default value is normally adequate.
