IXIASOFT CCMS Scheduler specifications

The CCMS Scheduler is a Java program that runs as a service. It is similar to task scheduler (Windows) or cron daemon (Linux).

It runs in the background, checking at scheduled intervals if there are events to process. The events are stored in the docbase.

Interactions with other components

The CCMS Scheduler interacts with the different IXIA CCMS components through the following processes:

  • The CCMS Scheduler configuration is stored in a local text file. This configuration specifies the jobs to execute.
  • At configured intervals, the CCMS Scheduler opens an outgoing connection to TEXTML Server (port 2500) to see if there are events to process.
  • It also connects to an SMTP server on port 25 to deliver emails.
  • It can connect to the CCMS Output Generator (port 1500 by default) if there is a configured task to generate output.
  • Only one instance of the CCMS Scheduler is required per deployment.
