Parameter Description
URL_of_page
Specify the URL that points to the Web server status file. Use HTTP or
HTTPS with a port number if required.
The status file must contain the following code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope
xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/
envelope/"
xmlns:SOAP-ENC="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/
encoding/"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:MYCOMPANY="http://www.mycompany.com/SOAP/NOCAPI/
1.0/">
<SOAP-ENV:Body>
<MYCOMPANY:WebServerStatus>
<MYCOMPANY:result>UP</MYCOMPANY:result>
</MYCOMPANY:WebServerStatus>
</SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>
Change the <MYCOMPANY:result> line to indicate the status of the server
as follows:
Server is UP
<MYCOMPANY:result>UP</MYCOMPANY:result>
Server is DOWN
<MYCOMPANY:result>DOWN</MYCOMPANY:result>
Do not change any other lines in the file.
Polling
The service controller attempts to retrieve the server status file from the primary server first.
If no response is received before the polling timeout expires (30 seconds by default), the
service controller attempts to retrieve the server status file from the secondary server. If no
response is received before the polling timeout expires, unauthenticated users attempting to
login will see the Fail page with the message: “Login server is unavailable”.
After initialization, the service controller continuously polls the servers to determine their
status. As long as the primary server is available, it is used. if the primary server fails to
respond or returns status DOWN, then the secondary server will be used, but only until the
primary server comes back up.
The polling interval and polling timeout are configured by editing the following entries in the
configuration file: web-server-polling-interval and web-server-polling-timeout.
To change the error message, edit the entry err-msg-login-server-down in messages.txt.
