openFT possesses a number of settings that can only be configured and, if necessary, modified, by the FT administrator. These are also referred to as the openFT operating parameters. Following installation, the parameters are set to default values that are based on experience and are usually adequate for normal operation.
The FT administrator therefore only needs to modify these values if this is necessary for the system in question. The settings listed below are present on all platforms:
Settings for the local openFT system:
Identification and name of the local system
Addresses for the individual protocols (openFT, FTP, FTAM)
Performance-related settings
Maximum values for operation, e.g. for the number of parallel connections, the number of requests in the request queue or the lifetime of requests
Scope of recording of monitoring values, see "Controlling the FT monitoring function"
Security settings:
Default value for partner security levels
User data encryption
Length of the employed RSA key
Minimum RSA key length
Minimum AES key length
Mode for sender checks
Logging settings:
Extent of logging
Automatic deletion of log records
Enabling/disabling of traces
Switch-over of log file and trace file
Scope of traps (console traps, ADM traps and possibly also SNMP traps)
Some settings are only available on certain platforms:
Setting the variant of the employed code table (Unix/Windows systems and z/OS)
Defining the settings for the remote administration server (Unix systems and Windows systems)
Defining the use of TNS and CMX (Unix systems and Windows systems)
Activating and deactivating the Application Entity Title (AET) for FTAM operation (BS2000 systems, Unix systems and Windows systems)
