The Repository Proxy Configuration dialog box allows you to configure the repository proxy. This configuration phase simplifies the client connection to the repository. When connecting to a repository, the client only has to select a proxy repository definition in which the name of the proxy server, its port number and the instance of the proxy are specified.
The Repository Proxy Configuration dialog box lists instances on the left side, and proxy parameters on the right side:
|
Parameter |
Description |
|---|---|
|
Instances |
An instance gathers the connection information between the proxy and the database server. Click the New button to create an instance of the proxy for the repository database. If you create an instance while the repository proxy is running, you must restart it for the instance to take effect. To delete an instance, select it and click the delete button. |
|
Instance name |
Specifies the name of the instance selected in the Instances box. |
|
Data source |
Specifies the name of the system ODBC data source used to connect to the repository database. Note that user data source cannot be used by the proxy server. |
|
User name |
Specifies the user name used to connect to the repository database. |
|
Password |
Specifies the password used to connect to the repository database. |
|
Port |
Specifies the connection port of the server on which the proxy is installed and which allows the client to communicate with the server using TCP/IP protocol. The default port number is 32999. |
|
Log operations |
Specifies to generate a log file. Select the Including success checkbox to display successes in the log file, and enter a path to the log file in the Name field. |
|
Cache Directory |
Specifies the path to the cache. |
|
Max size |
Specifies the maximum size for the cache. The default is 300MB. |
Now that configuration is complete, you can set up client machines to connect to the repository via the proxy (see Core Features Guide > The PowerDesigner Interface > Getting Started > Accessing the Repository).
