PcmPortal
This is a required socket/portal for communicating with the database. PcmPortal is executed on the SDL Contenta server.
When developing SDL Contenta tools or applications, start and use a portal that is not the production portal—that is, donot use the portal being used by the users.
It is recommended that each developer start his/her own portal to track messages, and so that it can easily be identified when you need or want to kill the process, or when referring to log files.
- Registry settings: The following are defined in the system’s registry:
- XYV_PRTL_DATABASE_SID and/or XYV_PDM_ODBC_DSN
- XYV_PRTL_DEBUG
- XYV_PRTL_FIRST_SOCKET
- XYV_PRTL_LAST_SOCKET
- XYV_PRTL_LOG_DIR
- XYV_PRTL_SOCKET
- Service: XyEnterpriseParlanceServer
- Process: PcmPortal.exe
- Verification: To verify that the service is running, access the Services window and look for XyEnterprise Contenta Server. Make certain the service status is Started or verify that the process is running by accessing the Task Manager and verify that the PcmPortal.exe process is listed. For example:
- Execution:
- Login as the Administrator user.
- Access the Services window.
- Select XyEnterpriseParlanceServer.
- Click the Start button.
To aid in troubleshooting, you can start PcmPortal in debug mode.
