How to Set Up Endpoint Monitoring System
IMPORTANT
Endpoint monitoring requires two framework servers running identical
instances and endpoint configurations. The endpoints must also be
stored within named configuration profiles; endpoint monitoring will
not function using the Default profile.
To set up an endpoint monitoring system:
1 Install Delivery Manager on two framework servers, as described in Installing the
Delivery Manager service , on page 11.
2 Create a new, named configuration profile on the first server, as described in Creating a
New Configuration Profile , on page 15.
3 Add and configure your required endpoints.
For information on the properties that are common to most of the endpoints, see
Generic Endpoint Configuration Settings , on page 17.
Specific instructions for each endpoint type can be found on the following pages:
• Adding a CIFS Endpoint , on page 21.
• Adding an FTP Endpoint , on page 24.
• Adding a Pitch Blue Endpoint , on page 26.
• Adding a DIVA Endpoint , on page 27.
• Adding MassTech Endpoints , on page 32.
• Adding a PathFire Endpoint , on page 34.
• Adding Ardome Endpoints , on page 36.
• Adding FlashNet Endpoints , on page 37.
• Adding Core Endpoints , on page 39.
4 Clone the configuration profile from the first server to the second server, as described
in Cloning a configuration profile , on page 56.
5 Configure each framework server to run the same instance name, as described in
Configuring Server Controller to run a named instance of Delivery Manager , on
page 51.
Cloning a configuration profile
IMPORTANT
The configuration profiles on each framework service must be identical
in order for the endpoint monitoring to work correctly. Delivery Manager
has no way of verifying that the configuration profile used by a named
instances and its clone are identical. Therefore the safest way to clone a
configuration profile is to copy the XML file from one server to the other.
Copying a configuration profile XML file
1 On the source framework server, open Windows Explorer and navigate to:
%appdata%\iTX\OPUS\Delivery Manager.
