IMS MTA Test
This test will report statistics related to the message traffic in channels.
Target of the test : An Oracle Communications Messaging Server
Agent deploying the test : An internal agent
Outputs of the test : One set of results for every channel in the Oracle Communications messaging server.
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
|
Test period |
How often should the test be executed. |
|
Host |
The host for which the test is to be configured. |
|
Port |
The SMTP port of the Oracle Communications messaging server. |
|
Version |
This refers to the version number of the messaging server that is being monitored. By default, none will be displayed as the Version. If you are monitoring a messaging server that is of a version below 6.0, you need not change the default value of this parameter. However, while monitoring version 6.0 or above, the exact version number needs to be explicitly mentioned against this parameter. |
|
InstanceDirectory |
If you are monitoring a messaging server that is of a version below 6.0, then specify the full path to the directory that corresponds to the current messaging server instance. For example, in Windows environments, the path can be expressed as: C:\iPlanet\Server5\msg-egtest. In Unix platforms, the path can be specified in the following format: /usr/iplanet/server5/msg-sun08. On the other hand, if you are monitoring version 6.0 or above of a messaging server, then ensure that the messaging server's root directory is specified as the InstanceDirectory. |
