Setting up global transport values
You set global
transport attributes that apply to all FTP Scripting gateways. If
you are not defining any FTP Scripting gateways, this section does
not apply to you.
The FTP Scripting transport uses a locking mechanism that prevents
more than one FTP Scripting instance from accessing the same gateway
at the same time. Default values are supplied for such things as
how long a gateway instance waits to obtain the lock and how many
times it attempts to retrieve it if the lock is in use. You can
use these default values or change them.
- Click Account Admin > Profiles > Community Participant.
- Click Gateways.
- Select Global Transport Attributes from
the Gateway List.
If you updated either Maximum Lock Time (Seconds) or Maximum Queue Time (Seconds) when
you specified global transport values during the creation of targets,
those updated values are reflected here.
- If the default values are appropriate for your configuration,
click Cancel. Otherwise, continue with the
remaining steps in this section.
- Click the Edit icon next to FTP Scripting Transport.
- To change one or more of the values, type the new value or values.
You can change:
- Lock Retry Count, which indicates how
many times the gateway will attempt to obtain a lock if the lock
is currently in use. The default is 3.
- Lock Retry Interval (Seconds), which indicates
the amount of time that will elapse between attempts to obtain the
lock. The default is 260 seconds.
- Maximum Lock Time (Seconds), which indicates
how long the gateway can hold the lock. The default is 240 seconds
(unless you changed it when creating targets).
- Maximum Queue Age (Seconds), which indicates
how long the target will wait in a queue to obtain the lock. The
default is 740 seconds (unless you changed it when creating targets).
