PrismTech CORBA Services Configuration

The configuration tool enables the setting of run time options for the PrismTech CORBA Services. The configuration tool provides a separate panel for each service, accessed via tabs displayed along the top of the window.

Each service panel contains a number of common options. Three of these options are common to clients and servers:

Service Type
The Service Type is used to indicate how the service will be accessed. There are two choices:
IOR File
The IOR File specifies the location to read or store the IOR (Interoperable Object Reference) for the service. This option takes precedence over the IOR URL.
IOR URL
The IOR URL specifies the location to read an IOR for the service using the Universal Resource Locator format. This option would normally refer to the same file as the IOR File option.

There are also a number of options which apply only to a server:

Enable
The Enable controls whether or not a service will be started. Deselecting this option will disable the remaining the options for the service.
Binding Name
The Binding Name specifies a name to be associated with the server's IOR so that Vendor specific bind operations can refer to the object by name.
NameService Entry
The NameService Entry specifies a location within the name service to enter an object reference for the service. The entry is the form of name component values separated by a "/". This option is not available for the name service itself.
Repository
The Repository specifies the directory used by the service to store persistent data.

Some of the services have additional options. The options for these services are shown below:

Time

Time Is Secure
This option designates whether or not the time supplied by the Time Service should be regarded as secure. If this option is not selected then the Time Service secure_universal_time operation will raise an TimeUnavailable exception. Please see the Time Service specification for a detailed explaination of secure time.

Notification

Filter Factory IOR File
This option specifies the location to store the IOR for the Notification Service Filter Factory object.

Naming

Browser configuration directory
The Browser configuration directory will be used to save information about the user configuration of the Naming Browser.
