System settings

This table lists the settings for several system-wide settings.
Field Description
External Agent URL* The URL that agents use to connect to the IBM® UrbanCode Deploy server.
External User URL* The URL that users enter to connect to the IBM UrbanCode Deploy server.
Automatic Version Import Check Period (seconds)* The number of seconds between the times that IBM UrbanCode Deploy polls components for new versions. If this value is changed, the server must be restarted before the change becomes effective. Set this value no lower than 15 seconds.
Validate Agent IP Requires that the agent IP and host name are validated against values that are used the first time that the agent is connected to the IBM UrbanCode Deploy server.
Enable UI Debugging Facilitate debugging with the user interface easier. If this setting is enabled, the performance of the user interface might be affected.
Fail Processes With Unresolved Properties Any running process that cannot resolve a property automatically fails. This setting is enabled by default.
Require a Comment For Process Design Changes Requires that the user provides a comment when making changes to processes.
Use Agent Tag For Integration Enables any agent that is identified by a specific tag to import component versions. If this setting is selected, the Agent Tag for version imports field is shown. Otherwise, the Agent for Version Imports field is displayed. For information about tagging objects, see Adding tags to objects
Agent for Version Imports The agent that is used to import component versions. The agent must have access to component artifacts. The agent becomes the default agent for new components. This value can be overridden when a component is created. This field is displayed if the Use Agent Tag for Integration box is cleared. To import artifacts from the server location, install an agent in the same location and specify that agent.
Agent Tag for version imports Any agent with the specified tag can import component versions. All tagged agents must have access to the artifacts. Tagged agents become the default value for new components. This value can be overridden when a component is created. This field is displayed if the Use Agent Tag for Integration check box is selected.
WinRS Agent The agent that is used to run agent installation processes on Windows computers. The agent must be running on a Windows computer.
WinRS User The user name for Windows Remote Management.
WinRS Password The user password for Windows Remote Management.
Mail Server Host The host name of the mail server that is used for notifications. IBM UrbanCode Deploy can send notifications to users based on user-configured trigger events (to set up notifications, see Notifications). IBM UrbanCode Deploy requires an external SMTP mail server to send messages. To disable notifications, leave the field blank.
Mail Server Port The SMTP port that is used by the notifications mail server.
Secure Mail Server Connection Specifies whether the SMTP connection is secure. The default value is cleared, which means not secure.
Mail Server Sender Address The sender address for email notifications.
Mail Server Username The user name for sending email notifications. Some email servers and firewalls treat emails with different sender and user names suspiciously. Therefore, consider specifying the same name for both fields.
Mail Server Password The user password for sending email notifications.
Hour to Clean Versions* The time when versions are cleaned. The value must be an integer from 0 (midnight) to 23 (11 pm). To preview the component versions that will be cleaned, click Preview Version Cleanup. See Cleaning up component versions.
Days to Keep Versions* The number of days component versions are kept. A value of -1 means that they are kept indefinitely.
Number of Versions to Keep* The number of component versions to keep. A value of -1 specifies that all are kept.
Archive Path The path where the compressed file that contains the archived component versions is written. If this field is blank, the compressed file is not written, and no archive is kept.
Minimum Password Length* Determines the minimum length for passwords.
Require Complex Passwords If selected, passwords must contain at least two of the four character classes and must be at least as long as the specified minimum length. The four classes are uppercase, lowercase, digits, and special characters.
Enable "Show Inactive" Links By default, user-created objects that were made inactive in product versions earlier than 6.0, are hidden. If selected, hidden objects are displayed and can be used or deleted.
Enable "Prompt On Use" Controls whether user-entered values can be specified at process run time. If this parameter is inactive (the default setting), values must be entered on the plug-in step during process creation. If selected, process designers have the option of requiring users to enter values during run time.
Automatic Agent Licensing If selected, the IBM UrbanCode Deployserver automatically attempts to license agents as they connect to the server. See Applying licenses to servers and agents.
Server License Type Contains the license type that is retrieved from the Rational Common Licensing (RCL) server. See License scenarios.
RCL Server Path In most cases, specify the host name and port of the RCL server. The format is port@hostname. For more information, see Applying licenses to servers and agents.
