EDF Server Port/Password

Configuration File

<TRAVERSE_HOME>/etc/dge.xml

Restart These Components After Changing the Configuration File

Description

Each DGE process listens on a TCP/IP port for incoming connection requests and allows integration with external tools utilizing the External Data Feed API. By default this port is set to 7657, but this can be configured by editing the following section:

<edfMonitor>
<port>7657</port>
<connections>1</connections>
<timeout>120</timeout>
<userName>edfuser</userName>
<password>fixme</password>
</edfMonitor>

If you change the port from 7657 to something different, make sure that no other application running on the machine is going to use that port. You should also change the password fixme to a different and more secure password. You will use this password along with the specified username to log in to the EDF server. The connections parameter configures the number of concurrent connections to the EDF server that should be allowed. If you expect to run a lot of external monitors that need to insert results into Traverse, this number should be set to a suitably large number.
