IBM RELEASE 7.3 - Manual (Page 27)

2.4.1. Configuring/Updating a Location Policy
The Location Policy can be created and updated using the Location Policy window. If the Location
Policy does not exist, the fields will be displayed with default values for a new policy. Otherwise, the
configured policy will be displayed.
Once a Location Policy is created or updated, it will not be in effect until all local Location Servers are
restarted or reinitialized. The Reinitialize button on the Servers window can be used to reinitialize a
running Location Server.
2.4.2. Location Policy Configuration Window
This window allows you to manage the location policy, which is used by HPSS Location Servers. Only
one location policy is permitted per HPSS installation.
Once a location policy is created or updated, it will not take effect until all local Location Servers are
started or reinitialized. The Reinitialize button on the Servers list window (Section 5.1: Server List on
page 83) can
be used to reinitialize a running Location Server.
Field Descriptions
Location Map Update Interval. Interval in seconds that the Location Server rereads the location map.
Advice - If this value is set too low, a load will be put on the database while reading configuration
metadata. If set too high, new servers will not be registered in a timely manner. Set this value higher if
timeouts are occurring during Location Server communications.
If you have multiple Location Servers, you should consider increasing the update interval since each
Location Server obtains information independently and will increase the overall system load.
