When the Integrator first runs, it creates its editable configuration file, appsettings.<environmentName>.json. The default value of environmentName is Production, otherwise, if configured, the value matches the environment variable DOTNET_ENVIRONMENT environment variable configured on the server. Any references to appsettings.Production apply to this file.

...

More configuration settings are stored in the PersistedSettings.json file, which must not be manually modified. When updating, repairing, or uninstalling an existing Integrator installation, the appsettings.Production and PersistedSettings files, the Logs folder and its contents remain, while all other files get removed.

Note
You must restart the Integrator service after making changes to the appsettings.Production file.

Timezone

The time zone of the VFC recorded switch platform in the IANA time zone format <area>/<location>. This value is set as the time zone of the WFE data source in the GMT offset time zone format when created. Refer to the Configuration Guide for the list of supported time zones.

The list of extensions to associate to the WFE data source. Individual extensions, extension ranges, and a combination of both are supported. Individual extensions can be entered as alphanumeric values, while extension ranges must be integers in the format <startExt>-<endExt>. Optional.

  • The data source name defined by WfeDatasource must be unique per WFE installation.
  • The comma-separated list of VFC recorders defined by VfcServers must all be in the same time zone.
  • VfcPlatform must be one of the values from the ConfiguredPlatforms parameter in the WFE section of the appsettings.Production filefile. The value of this parameter populates the Recorded Platform property of the data source that is created in WFE.
  • There must be at least one data source object configured in this section for each platform specified in the ConfiguredPlatforms setting.
  • The Extensions parameter can be omitted, in which case all existing extensions are associated with the data source. If included, the parameter is in the format of an array a comma-separated list of individual extensions or extension ranges. Individual extensions are supported in an alphanumeric format, while extension ranges are supported in the integer range format <startExtension>-<endExtension>. In extension ranges, both the startExtension and endExtension values are included as configured for the data source.
  • The Timezone value must be specified in the IANA time zone format <area>/<location>. For example, Africa/Windhoek, or America/Los_Angeles.

Empty

Yes, must be modified

...

  • The values of InternalMs and ReadBatchSize can be adjusted depending on call volumes.
  • The PostCallDelayInMinutes starts after the last update is made to the call record in the database. Any of the internal VFC services can update a record, therefore the parameter is specific to system configuration. The value can be adjusted depending on system and network connection speed. Setting the parameter to too large a value can result in calls taking excessively long to be synchronized for use by WFE applications. In cases of high call volumes, this can also cause large batches of data to be processed simultaneously, increasing network traffic. Too short a time value can result in calls being marked repeatedly as VFC internal services update the database record of the call, causing excess load on the system and the network.The VirtualRecorderSerialNo must specify the Serial Number of the External Server created earlier in the VFC to WFE Metadata Integrator deployment process, and it must be unique to both a VFC and a WFE installation. It must be a 6-digit number in the format XXXYYY, where XXX is a 3-digit unique identifier for the VFC installation, and YYY is a 3-digit unique counter, incrementing for each Integratorto be processed simultaneously, increasing network traffic. Too short a time value can result in calls being marked repeatedly as VFC internal services update the database record of the call, causing excess load on the system and the network.
  • InitialHistoryDays specifies a number of days before the current time, and the Integrator only marks calls that were made since that point in time. This parameter is only applied on the first run of the Integrator.
