Displaying application servers' status
You can access the application server from a browser.
Use the appropriate URL for this:
http://<server name>/<application name>
https://<server>/<application name>
TIP: You can open the web server's status display in the Job Queue Info. In the Job Queue Info, select View > Server state in the menu and, on the Web servers tab, open the web server status display from the Open in browser context menu.
You will see different status information. Status information for the application server is displayed as performance indicators. Users with the Enables log display in the application server program function (AppServer_Logs) can see the log.
In addition, API documentation is available here. To access the REST API on the application server, the user required the Enables access to the REST API on the application server (AppServer_API). For more information about the REST API, see the One Identity Manager REST API Reference Guide
Updating application servers
NOTE:
-
We recommend that you perform the automatic update only in specific maintenance windows, in which the application cannot be accessed by users and the application can be manually restarted with no risk.
-
The following permissions are required for automatic updating:
-
The user account for updating requires write permissions for the application directory.
-
The user account for updating requires the local security policy Log on as a batch job.
-
The user account running the application pool requires the Replace a process level token and Adjust memory quotas for a process local security policies.
To run an update, first load the files to be updated into the One Identity Manager database. The necessary files are loaded into the One Identity Manager database and updated when a hotfix, a service pack, or a full version update is run.
The test depends on the selected mode for automatic update. New files are loaded from the database as they are identified. The files cannot be updated while the application is running. The update waits until the application is restarted.
The application is restarted automatically by the web server when it has been idle for a defined length of time. However, this may take some time or be hindered by continuous user requests.
Configure automatic updating in the application server's web.config file. In the <autoupdate> section, you can control the behavior of the update.
Table 27: Attribute for automatically updating the configuration
|
off |
Specifies whether automatic update is disabled (True) or not (False). |
|
mode |
Mode for automatic update. Permitted values are:
-
timer: Scheduled checking (default). At application start up, a check for updated files in the database is carried out and afterward, at schedule intervals (attribute checkinterval).
-
manual: Manual checking. You start the check from the application server's status page. Regular checking if updated files in the database does not take place. |
|
checkinterval |
Time period for search for update in timer mode. Default: 5 minutes |
|
inactivitytime |
Time period without user activity so that the update can be started. Default: 10 seconds. |
Example:
<autoupdate>
<!-- <add key="off" value="true" /> -->
<add key="mode" value="timer" /> <!-- Valid options: timer, manual -->
<add key="checkinterval" value="00:05:00"/>
<add key="inactivitytime" value="00:00:10"/>
</autoupdate>
To start the update manually
-
Open the status page for the application server in the browser.
-
In the menu for the currently logged on user, click Update immediately.

Updating the search index on application servers
The searched index is updated when changes are made to a table with indexed columns, to referenced tables or translations.
Use the Common | Indexing | BatchSize configuration parameter to define the maximum number of objects that can be indexed in a single indexing run. The default value is 50000.
The Common | Indexing | Interval configuration parameter contains the interval between two indexing runs. The default value is 120 seconds. Once this time interval has elapsed, a new indexing run is started.
You can also update the search index manually.
To manually update the search index on the application server:
-
Open the status page for the application server in the browser.
-
In the menu for the currently logged-in user, click Update Index.
-
Choose whether you want to update all indexes, or only some indexes.
