Help - Server Project Information Expander

Server Project Information Expander

Once the project is created or restored, by default, the newly created project’s node is selected in the Console tree. It displays project information relating the configured project in the Server Project Information expander of the Project Settings tab. It displays the following:

●: Project configuration details such as Project status, Project name, Project path, and Data version (only on Server SMC), but you cannot edit them.

●: Languages: If you have configured multiple languages in the project, you can change the language of the project when editing the project and importing the localized text from the System Libraries.

●: Linked HDB: Displays the HDB linked to the currently selected project, if any. From the Linked HDB drop-down list, it allows you to select the database from the list of available databases for linking to the project. You should link an HDB to keep a log of project’s data. You should link one HDB to only one project. Linking an HDB to multiple projects is not recommended. If the selected database is no longer available (deleted), it displays as Unknown (in red).
Select the Encrypted check box to encrypt the communication between a project and the HDB.

●: Linked HDB state is updated depending on the HDB linked to the project.

●: In the Server Project Information expander, you can do the following when you click Edit icon :

–: Modify the ports of a project.

–: Enable the distribution for a project by selecting the Distribution Participants check box.

–: Set the project as Data Master by selecting the Data master check box.

●: System Name and System ID: Allows you to modify system details of the selected project including the System name and System ID using Change System Info icon .

Project Status

It indicates the status of the currently selected project, for example, started, stopped – inconsistent progs file(in red, stopped, starting, running-incomplete, stopped - last repair failed (in red, stopped - repair on next start, outdated -check on upgrade(in red), outdated (in red, stopped - inconsistent configuration file (in red, and so on.

The project status indicator allows you to check the project status. Its color and animation indicate the connection status as follows.

Project Status
Appearance	The icon is...	Description
	Yellow and not animated	This icon indicates one of the following statuses: — Starting: Project start is in progress. — Running- incomplete: Project start is incomplete because the database repair is internally still in progress on or when any of the Data, Event or the Pmon port is not running.
	Green and animated	Project is started without errors.
	Black and not animated	This icon indicates one of the following statuses: — Project is not started (stopped) and the database is not corrupted. — Project is stopped - last repair failed (in red): This reflects that the project database is in a corrupted state. — Project is stopped - repair on next start: This status indicates that the project database repair will be attempted on next project start. — Project is stopped - inconsistent configuration file: This status indicates that the project's config file is inconsistent, for example, it contains duplicate entries for a section. — Project is stopped - inconsistent progs file: This status indicates that the project's progs file is inconsistent, for example, it contains invalid entries for a section. — Project is stopped – check on next start. This indicates that the project database check will be attempted on next project start.
	Red and not animated	Project is outdated (in red) Project is outdated - check on upgrade (in red).

Status: Stopped - Last Repair Failed

When a project is stopped abruptly, for example, due to system shut down, the project database may get corrupted. When you start such a project, the SMC internally attempts to repair the corrupted database. However, if this repair attempt fails, the project does not start and the Repair on next start RepairOnNextStartIcon

icon becomes available.

When you click Repair on next start, it internally changes the project status to stopped - repair on next start. The next time you start the project, the SMC will attempt to repair the project database.

If you start a project whose database was corrupted, and the SMC is still internally repairing the database when the startup timeout elapses, the project status will be indicated as running - incomplete. In this case, it is recommended to wait until the database repair is complete and the project status changes to started. However, you can also stop the project.

Linked HDB State

It indicates the status of the currently selected HDB. (See Encrypting the Communication Between Project and HDB) The following table provides the state and its meaning:

Linked HDB State	Description
Not Configured (in red)	HDB is not linked to the project.
Not reachable (in red)	HDB is not reachable, for example, the selected HDB is deleted.
Outdated (in red)	HDB is outdated, for example if the HDB version is different than the current HDB version.
Connected	HDB is configured in the project without errors and system name in the HDB is same as the system name of the linked project.
System name mismatch with the project (in red)	The system name in the HDB is different than system name of the project to which the HDB is linked.
Unknown issue (in red)	Unknown issue with HDB.

Enable Distribution

On the Server SMC, when you modify the project, the Distribution participant check box is enabled. Selecting the check box enables the Dist port with the default port number as 4777. Additionally, it also adds and enables the Data master check box, and the Distribution Participants and Distribution Connections expanders. If for the selected project Server communication is Standalone and the Web Server communication is Disabled, it enables the Project Shares expander.

When you enable the Distribution participant check box, by default, it adds an entry for the Local System (Originator project) in the Distribution participants expander.
