Gateway Configuration

Some properties of the Tracking Gateway can be modified by editing a text configuration file. Under normal circumstances, the default values for these properties should not be changed. However, in some specialized scenarios it can be useful to modify them.

CautionCaution:

The Tracking Server Gateway properties file should only be modified by advanced Tracking Server administrators.

Steps:
  1. Locate the Gateway.properties file. It is located in the Gateway\bin folder in the location of your Tracking Server installation.

    For example, a typical location is C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\TrackingServer\Gateway\bin.

  2. Open the Gateway.properties file using a text editor such as Notepad.
    TipTip:

    You may want to create a backup of the Gateway.properties file in a different location before making modifications. The backup can be used to restore the system to its original state at a later time.

  3. Edit the Gateway properties as needed.

    The following properties can be edited:

    • logfile - Determines where the Gateway log messages are stored.
    • loglevel - Determines what level of detail will be logged to the file. Any of the following values are valid:
      • OFF
      • SEVERE
      • WARNING
      • INFO
      • CONFIG
      • FINE
      • FINER
      • FINEST
      • ALL
      However, log messages are only created under these categories:
      • SEVERE
      • WARNING
      • INFO
      • CONFIG
      • FINEST
    • clientport - The port where the Gateway will listen for connections from client applications.
    • serverport - The port where the Gateway will listen for connections from the Tracking Server Connector Data Link.
    • maxclients - The maximum number of concurrent client socket connections that the Gateway will accept on the "clientport".
    • clientWriteBufferSize - The initial size, in bytes, of the buffer that will be used by socket connections between the Gateway and client applications.
    • clientMaxMsgsInQueue - The maximum number of messages from Tracking Server that will be buffered for each individual client connection.
    • clientSessionIdleTimeout - The maximum time that a client can be disconnected from the Gateway and reconnect without having to establish a new session.
  4. Save your changes to the Gateway.properties file.
  5. Restart the Gateway.

    Restarting the Gateway is required in order for the new properties to take effect.
