Maintenance Times Settings |
|
Day of Week for Weekly Maintenance |
Specify the day of the week in which you want the weekly maintenance jobs to run on all servers in the Enterprise. These maintenance jobs run in the background once per week on a server at the scheduled time. These jobs clean up and optimize the server. Schedule these jobs at the time of the lowest system usage as they consume system resources and can adversely affect system performance. |
Weekly Maintenance Start Time |
Specify the time of day that the weekly maintenance jobs begin running on all servers in the Enterprise. The hour at which the job starts depends on the server time zone setting. For example, assume that you specify 1:00 AM for this setting and that you have two servers where:
In this scenario, the maintenance job starts at 1:00 AM EST on Server 1 and 1:00 AM GMT on Server 2. |
Weekly Maintenance Duration |
Specify the time in minutes that you want the weekly maintenance jobs to run. If the maintenance jobs exceed the specified time limit, an alarm is raised. |
Daily Maintenance Start Time |
Specify the time of the day in which you want the daily maintenance jobs to run on all servers in the Enterprise. These maintenance jobs run in the background once per day on a server at the scheduled time. These jobs clean up and optimize the server. Schedule these jobs to run at the time of the lowest system usage as they consume system resources and can adversely affect system performance. The hour at which the job starts depends on the server time zone setting. For example, assume that you specify 1:00 AM for this setting and that you have two servers where:
In this scenario, the maintenance job starts at 1:00 AM EST on Server 1 and 1:00 AM GMT on Server 2. |
Daily Maintenance Duration |
Specify the time in minutes that you want the daily maintenance jobs to run. If the maintenance jobs exceed the specified time limit, an alarm is raised. |
Use Custom Schedule |
Select this option if you are using a customized schedule defined in an external tool (for example, SQL Enterprise Manager) to run maintenance procedures. When this option is selected, the other maintenance scheduling fields in this section are unavailable. Also, the weekly and daily maintenance jobs do not run. |
SMTP Settings (Required to support email notifications for alarms and alerts, and sending scheduled Topology Reports by means of email) |
|
SMTP Server |
Enter the server host name, IP address, or the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) of the SMTP server used by the servers. Each managed server Server that is managed by the Enterprise Manager application. must make a connection to the SMTP server using this address to send an email (for example, to notify an administrator of an alarm). |
SMTP Port |
Enter the port on which the SMTP server listens for connections from the servers. This port must be open through all firewalls and networks between the managed server and the SMTP server. |
Secondary SMTP Server |
Enter the server host name, IP address, or the FQDN of the secondary SMTP server used by the servers. If the primary SMTP server is unavailable, servers access this SMTP server to send email. |
Secondary SMTP Server Port |
Enter the port on which the secondary SMTP server listens for connections from servers. |
Return Email Address |
Enter the return email address that appears in emails sent by background processes running on the servers in the enterprise. For example, a background process can send an email message to an employee when an alarm is triggered. When a user replies to an email message sent by a background process, the reply is sent to this email address. |
Use Authentication |
Select this option if you want the servers to present authentication credentials to the SMTP server when connecting to the SMTP server. Specify these credentials Username and Password fields described in this table. |
Username |
This field is required only if you select the Use Authentication option. Enter the domain and username of the SMTP server account that the servers use to authenticate when connecting to the SMTP server. Complete this field in the format Domain\Username. This username must be associated with a valid account on the SMTP server. |
Password |
Enter the password associated with the SMTP server account that the servers use to authenticate when connecting to the SMTP server. This field is required only if you select the Use Authentication option. |
System Backup Settings |
|
System Backup |
Each server stores some, but not all, of its configuration data in various databases. Select this option if you also want to store backup copies of the server XML configuration and properties files that are not stored in any database. These backup copies are needed if it is necessary to restore the configuration of a server. Use the System Backup Path field to specify the network location where you want to store the backup copies of these XML files. The system backup is a daily maintenance task. If you select this option, the system backup runs every day at the time specified in the Daily Maintenance Start Time setting.
|
System Backup Path |
Specify the Universal Naming Convention (UNC) path to the specific server and directory where you want to store the backup copies of the Server XML configuration and properties files. An example UNC path is: \\ComputerName\DirectoryName. This server and directory must be accessible on the network from the servers. You can modify this setting at the Site Group or Site node of the Installations tree. The network location specified here must be accessible by all servers in the selected Site Group or Site. If the same System Backup Path is specified for multiple servers, the system creates a separate subfolder for each server. This value cannot specify a location on the local physical drive of the computer hosting the Enterprise Manager application. You cannot store these backup files on the computer that hosts the Enterprise Manager application. |
