Configure the connection to the Content Store

IXIA CCMS Scheduler must connect to the Content Store to synchronize the configuration locally.

<!--  This section is required to synchronize CMS configuration locally -->
<configuration>
   <dita.cms url="hostname" port="2500" docbase="docbase" secure="false">
      <user domain="ixiasoft" username="testuser" password="password" synchdir="c:/temp/scheduler/"/>
   </dita.cms>
   <!--  TextMl, dita.out and smtp 
   If none are specified in job they fall back to this global TextMl connection -->
   <textml url="hostname" version="4" port="2500" docbase="docbase" secure="false">
      <user domain="ixiasoft" username="testuser" password="password"/>
   </textml>
   <dita.out url="localhost" port="1501" secure="false"/>
   <smtp url="smtp.ixiasoft.local" port="25" email="scheduler-noreply@ixiasoft.com" />
   <dumpQueue filename="SchedulerQueue.txt" />
</configuration>

1. Open the %SchedulerDir%/conf/schedule.xml file.
   Note: If this is the first time that you are modifying the schedule.xml file, open the schedule.xml.empty file and save it as schedule.xml (remove the .empty suffix).
2. In the <dita.cms> element, specify the following attributes:

   Attribute	Description
   url	IP address or name of the server hosting TEXTML Server.
   port	IXIA TEXTML Server port (default is 2500). If you are using SSL security, specify the secure SSL port.
   docbase	Name of the Content Store.
   secure	If you are using SSL, set this parameter to "true". Note: To enable SSL, you may also need to install a CA certificate on CCMS Scheduler. See Installing and Configuring IXIA TEXTML Server for IXIA CCMS for more information.

   For example:

   <dita.cms url="continuix" port="2500" docbase="d4dox" secure="false">

3. In the <user> sub-element, specify the following attributes:

   Attribute	Description
   domain, username, password	Domain, username, and password used by the Scheduler to log in to IXIA CCMS Note: You can also encrypt the password using the encrypt utility in the %SchedulerDir%/bin directory. Or if you do not want to set a password for this user, you can leave password empty (for example: password="").
   synchdir	Working directory of the Scheduler

   For example:

   <user domain="acme" username="CMSServiceUser" password="admin" 
   synchdir="C:\Ixiasoft\Scheduler\temp"/>

   In the <user> sub-element, specify the following attributes:

   Attribute	Description
   domain, username, password	Domain, username, and password used by the Scheduler to log in to IXIA CCMS Note: You can also encrypt the password using the encrypt utility in the %SchedulerDir%/bin directory.

   For example:

   <textml url="Continuix" version="4" port="2500" docbase="d4dox" secure="false">
      <user domain="ixiasoft" username="CMSServiceUser" password="admin"/>
   </textml>
