odbase and odrcvr questions

niniti

1) If base and receiver servers are on different machines, on base server all the config files asre needed eg odbase.xml. dfeploy.cfg, deploymentConfiguration , odnodes.xml etc. But the only file required on receiver server is odrcvr.xml, if there is no tiered deployment or no reverse deployment taking place. right ? or do I need other config files on receiver too ? This kind of details are not provided in manual. It confuses to rare users of OD like me.

2) can we configure odrcvr.xml from OpenDeploy UI ?By that I mean, do I need to logon toreceiver server ?
Say, OD base is on "rsodsrver" and OD receiver is on "rsodrcvr". Can I manage odrcvr.xml thru the UI, which is accessing ODbase ?
I was reading the manual and I read following

The Server Management window provides you the ability to upload any of the following
server configuration files:
???? Base server (by default odbase.xml)
???? Receiver (by default odrcvr.xml)
???? Nodes (by default odnodes.xml)
???? SNMP (odsnmp.xml)
???? Event reporting (eventReportingConfig.xml)
???? JMS (jmsConfig.xml)
???? Database (database.xml)
from your local computer into the od-home/(od-instance)/etc directory of the
selected server. Any file you upload must be a valid XML file that follows its associated
configuration DTD.

How can UI access odbase and odrcvr which are located on different servers (I am assuming that base server is acting as sending server only. ) If base server is not acting as a receiver server and odrcvr is on a different physical server and if I want to modify odrcvr.xml, can I do it using UI , which is accessing base server ?

3) If base server is also acting as receiver server, do we need odbase.xml and odrcvr.xml both on base server or only odbase.xml will take care of sender and receiver server configuration ? Is there any difference in the DTD od odbase.xml and odrcvr.xml ? or both are created using same DTD and values in the fields are provided according to whether its base or receiver and they are named according to if they are on base or receiver.

Thanks

You need the other files as well on receiver (odnodes,deploy.cfg etc).
Manualls have information about which are the configuration files needed on receiver as well.

Yes. You can.

In case of base server and reciver server are same, odbase.xml will act as odrcvr.xml ..So no need of odrcvr.xml

Is there any difference in the DTD od odbase.xml and odrcvr.xml ? or both are created using same DTD and values in the fields are provided according to whether its base or receiver and they are named according to if they are on base or receiver.

DTD are diff.

I am not clear about this as yet.
Source server is identified as rsbaseod. i.e. I am accessing base server UI by typing //rsbaseod in address bar. There is no odrcvr.xml on this machine.
Receiver server is identified as rsrcvrod i.e. I am accessing receiver server UI by typing //rsrcvrod in address bar.
What I was asking was, can I modify odrcvr.xml eventhough its not located on base server by accessing rsbaseod UI ? Or do I need to access receiver server separately to access odrcvr.xml?
If yes (which is very unlikely), then how is that possible and how is the changed file deployed on receiver server ?

If base server is also acting as receiver server, do we need odbase.xml and odrcvr.xml both on base server or only odbase.xml will take care of sender and receiver server configuration ?

If DTD for odbase.xml and odrcvr.xml , then how can odbase.xml act as odrcvr.xml also in case where base server is acting as receiver server also ? As features of odrecr.xml will not be contained in odbase.xml. (Though I am not aware of differences between DTDs of odbase.xml and odrcvr.xml)

Thanks

It is simple conceptually. OD Base Server can either send or receive Files.
In that sense it can work as both sender and a receiver. It is configured
in "odbase.xml". It does not need "odrcvr.xml" at all.

OD Receiver Server can only receive Files (even a reverse Deploy is Base's "Pull"
process). It is configured in "odrcvr.xml". It does not need and will not accept
"odbase.xml" File.

With regard to managing the receiver via the OD Admin UI - in theory "yes" - it's simply a matter configuring the Admin UI to know about the receiver(s) and TCP/IP communication. Try reading [more thoroughly?] through the OD Admin manual for more information.

In practice - most of the time "no" because receivers tend to be on the other side of firewalls and security folks like to poke as few holes as possible in the firewall - so instead you manage it via some form of SSH protocol and deal with the configuration the old fashioned way - manually.
