Configuration Options

In the section of the configuration file for the PLSCommService, 
[tagents.sysagent.communication.pls.PLSCommService], there are three options at this moment recognized by the PLSCommService:

PORT

The CommunicationServer (or the ConnectionListener) needs a port given to listen to incoming calls. The standard port is 3333 but you can use every port number which is free on your machine.

MAFFINDER

Defines the mode of the PLSMAFFinderServiceProxy. Valid options are:

REAL

There is a real MAFFinder running on this machine, so the PLSMAFFinderServiceProxy is run in ``wrapper'' mode which means it is registered to the CommunicationServer as receiver and listens to calls to the real MAFFinder from outside.

PROXY

If the PLSMAFFinderServiceProxy runs as proxy it forwards all local calls to the MAFFinder through the wrapper to the real MAFFinder on another machine. In this mode the PLSMAFFinderServiceProxy is exported to the System to let Agents use it to do calls to the MAFFinder. If using this modus you have to give the MAFFINDER_LOCATION all other modus do not require it.

NO

If the PLSCommService should not use the PLSMAFFinderServiceProxy at all. Could be used because there is already one protocol available for accessing the MAFFinder.

MAFFINDER_LOCATION

The location of the wrapper to the real MAFFinder. It is an URL used to connect to the wrapper over PLS. It has the form pls://ip_number_of_host:port/name_of_system. You have always to give a port for the wrapper. There is still no standard port used per default. The protocol is of course pls and the name of the System is just the name and not the whole ID of the System.
