= !AppWorx Configuration in Support of LDAP/EDIR Related Jobs =

    Original Author: Beth Mercer - 20081031

We run jobs for EDIR support on three platforms:
* RPTP Cluster as sxldap
* IDMP-3 Cluster as iplanet
* "E" boxes as ldapgw

We do not have !AppWorx clients on the "e" boxes where the Enterprise Directory and 
AUTHSERV/EDIR web interfaces are hosted or for that matter on the IDMP-3 cluster that supports all LDAP registry operations.  None the less, !AppWorx is used to schedule batch jobs on those boxes.  
This is accomplished via the !AppWorx client on RPTP (currently talkeetna) and UNIX accounts that ssh from 
RPTP to the corresponding account on either IDMP-3 or an "e" box.

== !AppWorx Associations Between Server and EDIR Account ==

=== RPTP Cluster to processes on "E" boxes ===
'''ldapgw:'''  Jobs associated with maintenance of the AUTHSERV/EDIR web gateways are scheduled to run 
under the ldapgw account.

=== RPTP Cluster to processes on IDMP-3 ===
'''iplanet:'''  Jobs associated with maintenance of the LDAP directory or daily updates

=== RPTP Cluster to Local Oracle Processes ===
'''sxldap:'''  Jobs associated with the Oracle registry are scheduled to run under the sxldap account.

Multiple generic wrapper scripts under the toklat ~ldapgw/appworx or ~|iplanet/appworx directories facilitate 
execution of a variety of scripts the "e" boxes".  There is one wrapper script for each 
"e" box in which the ssh statement is server specific.

The RPTP sxldap appworx directory has a comparable wrapper for IDMP-3.  

'''NOTE:'''  To preserve the history of old summit Appworx jobs to toklat when the summit Appworx agent was 
deleted, historical summit batch job scripts currently reside in the ~sxldap/appworx_summit directory.

To utilize a RPTP wrapper to execute a specific script on an "E" box" or IDMP-3, create a 
link to the wrapper with the name of the script residing in the corresponding appworx directory 
on the remote host.  Create an !AppWorx module that executes the named script.  !AppWorx will 
pass runtime parameters to the RPTP script in a manner that allows the wrapper to pass the 
same runtime arguments to the script on the remote machine.  Scripts on the remote machine 
should log status.  The wrapper scripts perform no logging unless a specific flag file is 
touched (see scripts).

'''Note:''' Because the ldapgw and iplanet appworx directories support execution of scripts on 
multiple "E" boxes, prefix each link name (and script name on corresponding server) with the 
name of the server on which the script will execute.
