SAND CDBMS Administration Guide
The SAND Enterprise Service

Administering the SAND Enterprise Service

Server Processes

• The NE Service consists of one server process (SES) and one or more agent processes (SEA)
• The server process must run within the security context of ROOT (UNIX) or SYSTEM (Windows).
• An agent process runs with the security credentials of a user account on the system.

Logs

The log accessible from SAND Enterprise Manager is also written to files in the LOG folder in the SAND program directory. Separate logs are kept for Service (nes.log) and Agent (agent_<user-name>.log) processes.

Rebooting

By default, the NE Service will be restarted when the system is rebooted.

The nes.ini file

The following is an example of the nes.ini system configuration file for UNIX (the nes.ini file for Windows is identical except for the style of directory paths). Note that the nes.ini file is written automatically by SAND Enterprise Manager, and should not be edited manually.

Note:
When the connection parameters used to connect with the sescmd scripting client are saved, they are written in encrypted form to a [nesop] section of the nes.ini file (not illustrated below).
