The Server Configuration tab is used to define Fabric server deployment URLs. Each Fabric server can be accessed to deploy an implementation, to debug and to validate Web Services.
The following is a list of server configuration items:
Title |
K2View Fabric logical name of the server. |
Deployment Web Service URL |
Displays a generic URL for the deployment in the following format: http://<host>:3213/deploy. Edit the Hostname or Host IP Address in the <host> field to deploy your project or its components such as a Logical Unit or Web Services to the configured server. |
Driver Port |
The JDBC driver port to connect to the Fabric in this environment. |
Force Upgrade Post Deploy |
Checked: performs a forced sync after deployment whereby the LU is always synchronized regardless of the Sync Method defined for the LU. Unchecked: performs a sync on schema changes only. Note that each LU undergoes one forced sync the first time it is retrieved, regardless whether this option is checked / unchecked. |
Username |
Username for database access authentication. |
Password |
Password for database access authentication. |
Debug Env |
Indicates the debug environment. Only one environment can be marked as debug. |
Test URL |
Click to test the connection to the server and to validate the URL. |
Fabric Console |
Click to open the Fabric Console using the selected server info: host, JDBC port, user and password. |
Web Admin |
Click to open the Web Admin using the selected server info: host and web server port. |
Web Service Invoke Path Template |
By default, Web Services are invoked using Swagger. For example: static/swaggerUI/dist/index.html#/<CATEGORY>/<WS_VERB>_<WS_PATH> |
Add WS Parameters to URL Query |
When checked, enables adding parameters to the Web Service (WS) URL body. For example: ws?format=html&methodName=<WS_NAME>&token= |
Note that the Delete button of the special debug environment is disabled to support running a debug on a remote server.
