MID Server reference information includes system requirements and other information you need to configure a MID Server for your specific needs.

System clones and the MID server

See KB0547597 for information on what to do with MID Servers when you are cloning your instance.

Reference topics

System requirements

Use the minimum system requirements to allocate resources for computers hosting MID Servers.

ECC Queue

Learn about the External Communication Channel (ECC) Queue, which is the connection point between the MID Server and the instance. Jobs that the MID Server needs to perform are saved in this queue until the MID Server is ready to handle them.

MID Server Dashboard

Use the reports and gauges in the MID Server dashboard to monitor ongoing operations.

MID Server properties

Use MID Server properties to control the behavior of all MID Servers or a particular MID Server.

MID Server parameters

Use MID Server parameters to control the behavior of a particular MID Server.

MID Server protected records and reserved characters

Some MID Server records cannot be altered. Certain special characters are pre-defined in XML and cannot be used in passwords.

MID Server privileged commands

To discover certain information on a host server, the MID Server must run SSH commands with higher privileges. The platform provides default privileged commands for the MID Server to use and the ability to add additional commands to the system.

MIDSystem methods

MIDSystem variables (referred to by the variable name ms.) provide a variety of methods to get information about the MID Server.

MID Server heartbeat

Configure the interval that the instance uses when it checks the "heartbeat" of MID Server. By default, the instance checks the MID Server for a response every 5 minutes.

Set JVM memory size

Modify the JVM setting for your MID Server from the default size to suit the amount of work your MID Server does in your network.

Pause the MID Server

Pause the MID Server to temporarily prevent it from polling the ECC Queue for work or sending Discovery results back to the instance.
