Basic Service Configuration

These values define the basic service configuration:

First-Time Service Configuration

Configure the Service Settings and specify Service and Domain names:
Parameter Description Typical Value
Service Name Name of the service provider Financiocorp Services
Prefix for Service Domain Optional subdomain name

Allowed characters: a-z, A-Z, 0-9, - (alphanumeric, plus hyphen)

Automatically populated as:

Prefix + Service Domain

service.mydomain.com


Subsequent Configuration

These additional parameters become available after the initial configuration is complete.

Parameter Description Typical Value
Recaptcha Private Key After signing up for Google's reCaptcha implementation of the Captcha service, enter the public and private keys here. (They are used to interact with that service.)
Recaptcha Public Key
Copyright Notice Copyright notice, appears at the bottom of all pages Copyright 2010
Space Notification Email Address An email message is sent to this address when Storage Space limits are reached systemadministrator@mydomain.com
Error Notification Email Address An email message is sent to this address when errors occur customer_support@mydomain.com
Help Domain Required field; Domain name for user help; This page is opened in a new browser window when Help is invoked from the platform http://www.mydomain.com/help
Custom Help Domain Optional; If present, it is the domain name for user help;

Service Domain

The Service Domain is required, and must comply with the following guidelines:
  • The Service Domain name must be unique
  • Service Domain names can contain the following characters:
  • alphanumeric (a-z, A-Z, 0-9)
  • hyphen (-)
  • period, dot, full stop (.), used as the delimiter in the Prefix for Service Domain

Prefix for Service Domain

If Tenant Subdomains are enabled in the platform, this value defines the service provider's subdomain. If they are not, then the prefix adds text to the domain name that happens to include a dot (period).

The prefix field accepts alphanumerics and the underscore. The prefix is added to the Service Domain setting to produce the (read-only) Domain URL.

Examples
Prefix for Service Domain Service Domain Domain URL(Read Only)
www.abc.com www.abc.com
xyz www.abc.com xyz.abc.com
xyz abc.com xyz.abc.com

Reserved Subdomains
Admins can specify which subdomains are restricted from creation by normal tenants in the LongJump interface. When a user enters a restricted subdomain on the tenant creation page, an error message appears below that field. By default, a set of subdomains are added as reserved subdomains. It can be updated as per the requirement.

Accessing Reserved Subdomains
  1. Go to LongJump > Configure Service Settings > Edit.
  2. In the Reserved Subdomains field, type the subdomains you wish to restrict.
    Subdomains should be entered as comma-separated-values, with no spaces before or after the comma.
  3. Ensure that you restart the server after making changes to the LongJump platform.
Considerations
  • You already know that you use this URL to manage tenants:
http://{yourPrefix}.{yourDomain}/networking/Service?t=1&targetpage=ViewPort.jsp
  • You can also access the platform in the same way that other tenants do, using a URL of this kind:
https://{yourPrefix}.{yourDomain}.com/networking/servicedesk/index.jsp
  • That URL gives you the ServiceDesk application and other applications, just like any other tenant.
(Without Tenant Subdomains, you can still log in to the platform to access applications--but there can be no Service Portal. That capability exists only when there is distinctive a URL that no other tenant would use to log on. If Tenant Subdomains are not enabled, then all tenants use the same URL to log in.)

Help URL

As a Service Provider, you might create a help website to align with a customer's branded instance of the platform. In this case, the URL of the help website would be used as the default Help Domain. When a user clicks the Help link in the platform, that URL opens in a new browser window.

Email Configuration

Configuration for all the emails sent from the AgileApps Cloud platform.

Parameter Description Typical Value
Hostname For Email-relay Server Hostname localhost
User Name User/login name for the email-relay service
Password Password related to the user/login name for the email-relay service

Develop Configuration

Java code running in a tenancy is subject to strict limits--or governors:

  • Some settings put limits on the number of resources that tenants can use, to prevent infinite loops and other kinds of runaway programs. The limits apply to each tenant execution interval--from the time that the platform application instance gives control to tenant code, until the time that control returns to the platform. Up to that limit, an application can use as many resources as it wants. But once a constraint is exceeded, the executing code aborts with an exception.
  • Other settings restrict the kinds of Java classes that can be used, to prevent unwarranted access to the server and/or security violations.

The Service Provider Settings can be used to tighten those restrictions, ameliorate them, or lift them entirely.

Considerations
  • Settings are global. They apply to all tenants in the platform instance.
  • Settings apply to scheduled (background) jobs, as well as foreground applications.
  • The minimum for all numeric settings is "1".
  • Changes to these settings take effect only when the platform application instance is restarted.

Here are the default settings:

Parameter Description Default Value
Apply Governors in Java Code? Whether or not governors are applied to this platform instance. A development instance may want to turn them off, in some cases. Any multi-tenant production instance will want them on, to ensure that a runaway program in one tenant does not interfere with other tenants.

Note: Currently, the code governance is available for Linux installations only.

Yes
Max Number of Statements allowed The maximum number of Java code statements that can be run during an execution interval. 10000


Maximum String Length allowed The total size of all strings allocated in the Java heap space during an execution interval. 30000


Maximum CPU Time allowed (milliseconds) The maximum number of CPU milliseconds that can be consumed during an execution interval. 60000


Java classes not allowed in code There are certain Java classes which are disallowed in tenant classes, to prevent access to the server and any compromise of server security. (They are, however, allowed in global classes developed by the ISV for use by all tenants.)

In order to protect the security of the server, enter a comma-separated list of fully qualified Java Class Names for this option. At compile time, application will check if any of these classes are referenced in the user code and throw an exception if they are. Note that this will take effect only after the server is restarted.

Libraries supported in Java Code

When compiling user-defined code, the platform allows certain libraries like jars or internal java packages:

  • If a custom library is required, the jar can be placed in the ../tomcat/lib folder of the Apache Tomcat installation
  • To include these library files, enter a comma-separated list of such jar files for this option
  • Note that this will take effect only after the server is restarted.
 Empty


No. of Objects in Database Views

Database Views allow the creation of custom categories that join multiple objects

  • These database views can be used as the base category for a Report
  • The maximum number of tables that are allowed is five (5), with a default value of three (3)
  • The number of joins in these tables is restricted to the maximum number + 1
 Default: 3, Range is 3-5
Maximum rows in a List View

Maximum number of rows that are fetched in a List View for an object is defined by this option

  • This number is limited by the maximum int value supported by Java/MySQL i.e. 2^16 = 4G
 10000
Maximum rows in a report
  • Maximum number of rows that are fetched in a report
  • This number is limited by the maximum int value supported by Java/MySQL i.e. 2^16 = 4G
