Appendix A: Context Help This section contains details about the interface items in PowerPlay Enterprise - Server Administration. It is used as context-sensitive Help by the various dialog boxes, and is provided in print format as a reference. Server Properties (General tab) Server Name Shows the name of the currently selected PowerPlay server. You can't change this name. A PowerPlay server is a computer that contains either a dispatcher and query processor or a dispatcher only. If it contains only a dispatcher, it can only be used as a mirror reference, that is, it can’t have local data sources. Port Shows the port number that the PowerPlay server uses to communicate. Description Specifies a description for the PowerPlay server. For example, you can indicate the types of reports available from this server. The description appears for users in the Table of Contents beside "You are connected to:". It also appears in the status line of the PowerPlay Enterprise - Server Administration window when a server is selected. Gateway Specifies the Server Group name for this server. The Server Group is retrieved from the server configuration (cern.csx) file upon connection to a computer. A Server Group contains the URL to the PowerPlay Web gateway program, such as http://webgate/cognos/cgi-bin/ppdscgi.exe. The Server Group definition also contains a list of server name and port number combinations that the gateway program can send requests to. The first server name and port number combination is the primary dispatcher. If this dispatcher fails or becomes otherwise unavailable, the gateway program sends the request to the next server in the list. Server Mirror References Specifies a mirror reference for all the folders, cubes, and reports on the server. Use, for example, to set up a 24 x 7 system by reducing the risk of a single point of failure. Server Properties (Settings tab) Options Resource (/ppwb) Location Specifies the location where temporary files are stored. A directory named Temp must exist in this location.
