The Advanced tab of the Em Server Settings page allows you to control log and trace files, startup settings, refresh settings and server settings.

Em Server Settings

The server settings are the name and port address which the client machine should use when communicating with a remote server. The name may be entered as either a string of text characters or as an IP address in the Server name or IP address text entry box. The default port address is 56150. If this port is already in use on the server machine, another available port should be entered here. Note that the port number for the server defined on the client must be the same as the port entered here. You may also enter a brief description of the server in the Server Description text entry box provided. See the Em Server List page in the Sonnet Administration dialog box for details on defining a remote server on a client machine.

Em Server Data Directory

This section contains the specification of the emserver data directory on the analysis server and the timeout for a disconnected job.

When an analysis job is submitted to emserver from an analysis client, the Sonnet project is copied to a temporary location on the analysis server. Once the analysis is complete, the project copy is deleted from the analysis server. The Data Directory is the location on the analysis server to which you wish to write the temporary project. You may specify the data directory by editing the text entry box or clicking on the Browse button to the right to open a browse window which allows you to select the directory.

If the analysis client becomes unavailable while emserver is running a job from that client, the job becomes a disconnected project. Em Server will complete the analysis and write the results to the copy of the project. The project from the disconnected job is held for the number of days entered in the Remove disconnected projects after number of days field. If the analysis client has not recovered the disconnected job in this number of days, emserver deletes the disconnected job from the data directory. Use the arrow keys to change the number of days.

Log File Settings

A log file is maintained on emserver, and is often useful when troubleshooting any problems with emserver. Enter the desired location of the log file in the Log Filename text entry box or alternately, you may click on the Browse window to the right of the entry box, which opens a browse window which allows you to select the location of the log file. Once the correct log file is specified, you may view its contents by clicking on the View Log File button. The log file is opened in a standard text editor. If you wish to start a new log file each time your server is rebooted, click on the New log file on startup checkbox. Otherwise, the new information after a reboot is appended to the end of the pre-existing log file.
