Enabling event notification

 

Use this information to enable Directory Server event notification.

Event notification allows clients to register with the Directory Server to be notified when a specified event, such as something being added to the directory, occurs.

To enable event notification for your server, follow these steps:

  1. Expand the Manage server properties category in the navigation area of the Web Administration Tool, select the Event notification tab.

  2. Select the Enable event notification check box to enable event notification. If Enable event notification is disabled, the server ignores all other options on this panel.

  3. Set the Maximum registrations per connection. Click either the Registrations or the Unlimited radio button. If you select Registrations, specify in the field the maximum number of registrations allowed for each connection. The maximum number of transactions is 2,147,483,647. The default setting is 100 registrations.

  4. Set the Maximum registrations total. This selection sets how many registrations the server can have at any one time. Click either the Registrations or the Unlimited radio button. If you select Registrations, specify in the field the maximum number of registrations allowed for each connection. The maximum number of transactions is 2,147,483,647. The default number of registrations is Unlimited.

  5. When you are finished, click Apply to save your changes without exiting, or click OK to apply your changes and exit, or click Cancel to exit this panel without making any changes.

  6. If you have enabled event notification, restart the server for the changes to take effect. If you were modifying only the settings, the server does not need to be restarted.

To disable event notifications, deselect the Enable event notifications check box and restart the server.

For additional information about event notification, see the Event notification section of the IBM® Tivoli® Directory Server Version 5.2 Programming Reference.
