Administration

The system in managed via the administration protocol. This protocol allows modifying the values of the variables, reset the statistics, track the system operation in the real-time mode with filtering the traces, review the past messages and filter them.

Changing the variables values

The values of the variables are changed synchronously. All registered applications receive notifications about changing the values of the variables or disable such changes. Once the variable value is changed, all applications that use it, obtain its new value.

Reset statistics

The administration protocol allows you to reset the collected statistics for the variable settings, so the statistics is recollected from zero.

Restrictions

Using variable has the following restrictions:

•The variables with Hidden attribute exist in the database, but are not available for review and editing. They are created by the managing service for internal use.

•The variables with System attribute are created by the managing service to display the service information for administrator. Such variable cannot be modified or deleted.

•The variables with Statistics attribute are created by the application. These variables cannot be deleted.

•The variables with Readonly attribute are created by the application to inform the administrator. These variables cannot be modified.

•The variables with Default attribute are ordinary variables, and allow any action to be applied.

•The variables with Shared attribute are the distributed variables. Their values are modified synchronously within the distribution system.

•The variables, which cannot be modified, cannot be deleted as well. However, the groups containing such variables can be deleted with all their variables, if the application related to this group, is not launched.

Security

To access to the system, you need to enter a user name and a password. The default user of the system has the user name root and the password drweb. It is strongly recommended that you change the password after system installation. Or you can also add new users.

The users and their passwords are stored in the Security -> Users subgroup of the managing service group, i.e. /CMS_1.0/Security/Users. The name of the group is the name of the user. The password is stored in the Password variable.
