The Topography Editor can be invoked directly via the main menu of the Administration Client:

Select Configuration > Topography

or click the button

when the Administration Client is already switched to system configuration mode.

The Topography Editor allows an administrator to maintain the topographies of various FraudOne installations. The notion topography comprises machines registered in the system with the SetupCfg program and server components installed on these machines running under a ServerManager, e.g. SignBase- and SignCheckServers, ASV-, APSV- and GIAServers, WorkFlowRouter, CRSServer and ServicePrograms like AccountLoader, Getter, Putter, DFP etc.

The Topography Editor is organized as a tree. Direct child nodes of the Installation Topography root represent machines registered to the system with the SetupCfg program. Under the machine nodes there are nodes that represent the particular components running under the ServerManager of the particular machines.

 

 

The following operations are available for an administrator within the Topography Editor:

•Registered machines can be removed from the topography.

Important In order to add a machine, one must execute SetupCfg on the machine. It is not possible to add a machine solely with the Administration Client.

•Components running under the FraudOne’s Server Manager on particular machines can be created, modified or deleted for a registered machine.

A right mouse click opens a pop-up menu with the available operations depending on the selection.

 

 

The first menu item Remove system allows us to remove a selected machine. The menu items Add component, Edit component and Delete component manage insertion, modification and removal of the selected component from the system.

In the case of insertion and modification of the selected component, a dialog will be opened:

 

 

The Add component and Edit component dialog allow to specify the relevant details of the particular component that is being added or edited.

The applicable information is

1.The Instance type of the component (from a drop down list).

2.The Instance name prefix used for each of the component instances when they are started (The Server Manager will append the instance numbers starting with 1).

3.The overall Number of instances of that component and the Number to start of them.

4.An optional Descriptive name.

5.A SignBase Server can additionally be marked as a Configuration Server.
