Service Configuration Tool

The 'Service Configuration Tool' will be installed by default on both 'Basic' and 'Advanced' installations of a Master or Slave Migration Service and is useful for controlling service settings, starting and stopping the migration service and viewing service logs from CloudM Migrate.

This can be accessed from within CloudM Migrate from the Tools menu or by clicking 'Start' > 'All Programs' > 'CloudM' > 'CloudM Migrate Service Manager'

This tool will allow you to :

• Make configuration changes to the service running on the machine this application is installed on. If any changes have been made and applied by clicking the 'Update Configuration' button you will be required to restart the service. This can be done by clicking on the arrow next to 'Stop' and then clicking on 'Restart'  The following configuration items can be updated
  
  • Services
    • Endpoint - the endpoint name for the migration service, should normally not be changed.
    • Run Master Service - determines whether the master service is run. Only one master service per migration network should be run.
    • Run Slave Service - determines whether the slave service is run. Many slave services can be run within one migration network. Slave and master can run on the same server.
    • Heartbeat - the interval between heartbeats, where the slave services provide information to the master service about their state.
    • Maximum Start Attempts - the number of times to attempt to start the service.
    • Start Attempt Delay (ms) - the time to wait before retrying to start the service if startup fails.
  • Migration Limits
    • Maximum Complete Migrations - the maximum number of concurrent overall migrations. Has no meaning for the desktop application.
    • Maximum User Migrations - the maximum number of user migrations to run per slave service.
    • Migration Queue Scan Interval - the interval at which the migration queue will be scanned to check whether any migrations are waiting to process.

    • Master Slave Timeout (mins) - the timeout to apply to messages processed when communicating between the master services and slave services. If the slave sees a message older than this setting it will be ignored.
    • Service Health Check Interval (mins) - the interval at which the Windows service will checked to determine the health status.
