Managing Ensemble Productions - InterSystems Documentation

Configuration
When you click Apply to save changes made in the configuration form, Ensemble outputs your settings to the production
class in the form of an XML document embedded in the XData ProductionDefinition section of the class.
• Cancel — Undo the changes highlighted in yellow on the configuration page.
• Help — View context-sensitive information about this page.
• Start Production — Start the production whose configuration you are viewing.
• Stop Production — Stop the production that is running in the active namespace.
The next three commands allow you to add new configuration items to the production. Clicking one of these commands
does not generate any new host classes. Any item that you add at this step must already have a corresponding host class
that has been written and compiled in Ensemble Studio. These commands simply tell the production which items you want
it to contain:
• Add Service — Add a business service to the production.
• Add Process — Add a business process to the production.
• Add Operation — Add a business operation to the production.
Beneath the row of commands are the settings you can configure for a production; they are grouped into the following three
categories:
• Production Settings
• Additional Production Settings
• Defaults for Additional Production Settings
5.2.1.1 Production Settings
The configuration page allows you to configure the following Production Settings common to all productions:
Name
Description
The production name. This field has a gray background, which means you can view it, but you cannot edit it.
Comments that describe the production.
Actor Pool Size
Number of system jobs available in a public pool of jobs for use by business processes that have no private pool
of jobs. Allow enough for requests to keep moving through the message queues, but no more.
For a full discussion of appropriate pool sizes for different types of production, see the Pool Size section in the
“Production Concepts” chapter of Developing Ensemble Productions.
Testing Enabled
Select this check box to enable use of the Ensemble Testing Service pages to test this production. Clear this check
box to disable the testing service.
Log Unassigned Trace Events
Trace messages are informational text messages that Ensemble can deliver to the Terminal window and, optionally,
to the Ensemble event log. Trace messages are unrelated to Visual Trace, which provides a graphical view of
Ensemble message objects as they travel through a production.
