Configuring SDL ETS
When configuring SDL ETS, administrators customize it to server specific translation demands: Master hosts and Worker hosts, Q-servers and T-servers, Language Pairs, Users, Resource permissions and access.
- Adding hosts
When you add hosts, you define the machines which support Language Pairs. - Adding Q-servers
You can add as many Q-servers as your translation volume demands. You add Q-servers to an ETS host. - Adding T-servers
Add as many T-servers as you need to support your source-target language combinations. Make sure that there is a correspondence between the installed Language Pairs and those supported by the T-servers. - Starting Job Engines
Start your Q-servers so that SDL ETS can start processing translation requests. - Starting Translation Engines
Start your T-servers so that SDL ETS can access their resources during the translation process. When you start a T-server, a Q-server will use it as a translation server for the Language Pair which that T-server serves. - Removing SDL ETS hosts
When you no longer need to use a host for your translation work, you safely remove it from the ETS application. Removing a host, removes the Language Pairs registered on it. - Removing Job Engines
Remove your Q-servers when no longer needed. - Removing Translation Engines
Remove your T-servers from an SDL ETS host when no longer needed. - Configuring SMTP
Non-administrative users can log in to SDL ETS either via a dedicated username and password, or via an Active Directory (LDAP) integration. For the former case, a SMTP server must be defined, so that users can set their password via a link received in their inbox. - Configuring LDAP
Non-administrative users can log in to SDL ETS via a dedicated username and password, or via an Active Directory (LDAP) integration. For the latter case, a LDAP server must be configured, so that user credentials are properly matched in the directory. - Testing the LDAP configuration
After you have configured the LDAP server, you must test it to ensure that the user authentication details are properly matched when users log in to SDL ETS. - Configuring Proxy
Configure a Proxy server so that SDL ETS translates a URI via an intermediate, external Proxy server. - Updating a license for an ETS host
If your SDL ETS license for a host is no longer up-to-date, you can always get a new, valid one.
