System
This chapter describes the functions and uses of the [System] menu, which is used to configure basic settings and a variety of resources of AnyLink.
1. Overview
The [System] menu is used to configure basic settings and set up resources.
The following describes each System menu. For more information about the function and usage of each menu, refer to the relevant section.
| Menu | Description |
|---|---|
Adds, updates, and deletes a Biz System or remote agent. |
|
Controls a number of servers in remote to reduce operating costs. |
|
Configures an adapter and adapter endpoints. |
|
Clusters [Adapter], [Endpoint Group], and [Endpoint] when a Biz System is configured with a server cluster. |
|
Configures connection information of message queues. |
|
Deploys AnyLink Studio or agent patch files to the remote agent. |
2. System
The [System] menu is used to manage Biz Systems. A Biz System is the basic logical element in AnyLink WebAdmin and Studio. Thus, it has to be created in WebAdmin before using any AnyLink function or resource.
To go to the System screen, click [System] > [System] or click a server or cluster in the navigation pane. This screen consists of Domain Settings and Biz System List.
2.1. Domain Settings
It is necessary to integrate AnyLink with JEUS before use because AnyLink runs based on JEUS. This section describes how to connect to the JEUS server in AnyLink.
Entering a JEUS ID and password will automatically connect AnyLink to the JEUS server. Note that if this function is used incorrectly, the connection to JEUS is ended or the entire system can have an issue.
To change JEUS password, select 'Edit'. AnyLink must be connected to JEUS in advance. enter a new password in 'JEUS Password' and 'Confirm JEUS Password' and then click 
(save). To apply the new password to JEUS, select 'Apply to JEUS'.
| Item | Description |
|---|---|
Edit |
Enables to change JEUS password. |
JEUS Password |
New JEUS password. |
Confirm JEUS Password |
New JEUS password for confirmation. |
Apply to JEUS |
Option to apply the new password to JEUS.
Since an invalid ID or password is not applied, check JEUS ID and password if there are no data in Domain Settings. |
|
The JEUS password can be changed through AnyLink while it is connected to JEUS. It is not necessary to restart JEUS to log in to the server with the account information updated in AnyLink. In some cases, however, it might cause an error in a system integrated with JEUS. |
2.2. Biz System List
In AnyLink, all resources including BizTxs, adapters, and endpoints are managed through Biz Systems. Therefore, before using AnyLink, a Biz System must be created first. A Biz System processes an incoming request received from an inbound adapter within a service flow and then displays the result using an outbound adapter.
To modify Biz System information, click the Biz System from Biz System List. This opens Biz System Details ([System] - [System] - Biz System Details) where you can modify the information. For detailed information, refer to "Biz System Details".
To add a Biz System, click [Add]. For detailed information, refer to "Adding a Biz System".

An error may occur if a business system is updated while the system is in use. Therefore, the user must consider how the changes would affect the overall system operation before updating the business system. |
Adding a Biz System
Since the list displayed in Biz System List ([System] - [System] - Biz System List) is about servers or server clusters that are managed in JEUS, they must have been added to JEUS first before using them in AnyLink.
|
It is possible to add and modify servers or server clusters for a Biz System only through JEUS WebAdmin. A Biz System can only have one server or one server cluster. If multiple servers are to process the same job, use a server cluster. |

3. Remote Agent
Remote agents are used to manage multiple servers remotely from a single location to reduce operating costs. For information about how to install a remote agent, refer to AnyLink Installation Guide.
Remote agents provided by protocols such as TCP, HTTP, and FTP are used to send messages from an external network to an internal network. Typically, they send files by using FILE endpoints. A binary patch file can be applied to a remote agent in the [Patch] menu. A remote agent can be added, edited, and deleted while the remote agent is in boot status.
To go to the Remote Agent screen, click [System] > [Remote Agent] or click a group in the navigation pane.

Adding an Endpoint
Endpoint connects an adapter and other components and determines the direction of data transmission. To configure an endpoint, one or more adapters must be added first. For more information about adding an adapter, refer to "Adding an Adapter". After one or more adapters are set up, an endpoint can be added to any of them.
|
It is required that an endpoint is configured with a protocol that the adapter uses. The specific configurations for each adapter type are not covered in this guide, which describes the common configurations required to add an endpoint to an adapter. For more information about adapter settings, refer to the relevant guide for each adapter. |
To add an endpoint, click [Add] in the [Endpoint List] tab in Adapter Details ([System] - [Adapter] - Adapter Details (1)) or Endpoint Group Details ([System] - [Adapter] - Endpoint Group Details). This opens the Add Endpoint screen. Enter information and then click [Save].
