Registering an ESP Node

Make Sybase Control Center aware of an ESP node (acting as a cluster manager, controller, or both) and its connection information by registering it as a resource.

1. In the Resource Explorer, select Resources > Register.
2. Specify:

   New Resource Type Details

   Field	Description
   Resource Name	(Required) Name of the resource to register. Set a name which will make the ESP node easily identifiable.
   Resource Type	Select ESP Node.
   Description	(Optional) A brief description to help you identify the resource.

3. Click Next.
4. Specify the connection information for your resource:

   New Resource Connection Details

   Field	Description
   Host Name	(Required) Name of host on which the ESP node runs. Default value is localhost.
   Port Number	(Required) Port number for the ESP node.
   SSL is Enabled (Y/N)	(Required) Specify Y if SSL is enabled on the ESP Server, and N if it is not.

5. Click Next.
6. Enter authentication information based on the authentication type you specified while installing Event Stream Processor. This information is stored in the ProductModule.xml file, and must match the authentication type of the cluster in Event Stream Processor.

   Authentication Type	Fields
   Native OS	User name and password.
   LDAP	User name and password.
   Kerberos	KDC, Realm, Service Name, User name, and Ticket Cache Location. See the Event Stream Processor Administrators Guide for more information.
   RSA	User name, Password, and Keystore location.

   • Or if you prefer not to authenticate now, click I do not want to supply authentication information.
7. Click Next.
8. (Optional) Click Add this resource to the current perspective. You must add a resource to a perspective (not necessarily the current perspective) before you can manage or monitor it.
9. (Optional) Click Open the resource explorer to view this new resource. (This option is not present when the Resource Explorer is open.)
   The resource is added to the Resource Explorer even if you choose not to view it.
10. Click Finish.
    The ESP node is registered. If you have chosen to authenticate the resource and the authentication is successful, the other active nodes that belong to the same cluster as this node are registered and authenticated automatically because in Event Stream Processor, authentication is performed on a cluster-wide basis rather than on a per-node basis. These other nodes are named "<cluster_id>_<node_id>", by default, and "<cluster_id>_<node_id>(manager)" is for both manager type and dual (manager and controller) type nodes. You can edit the names of these nodes under resource properties.
