Remote Access for eMessage Agents: GAS Support
As of v.1.2.0, the eMessage Connector supports the Axeda Global Access Server for use in establishing and manaing remote sessions with Axeda eMessage Agents. Entities have been added to the Axeda Compatibility Extension to support GAS:
• GASRemoteAccessProvider Thing — This Thing has settings for a GAS, including a soft limit for the maximum number of Global Access Servers that may be registered with the ThingWorx Platform at any given time. The property is called maxServers. Its minimum value is 1 and default value is 50.
If a GAS attempts to register with the eMessage Connector, before a new GAS Thing is created, the current count of registered GAS is compared against the value of the maxServers setting. If the current count is greater than, or equal to maxServers, the next registration attempt will fail. This setting, while provided by the Axeda Compatibility Extension, is editable and can be modified by the ThingWorx user.
 |
Reducing this value does NOT have any effect on already-created Global Access Servers. Setting this value below 1 will prevent any GAS from registering.

• GASModel Thing Template — A Thing Template exclusively for use for Axeda Global Access Servers. Refer to GASModel Thing Template .
• GlobalAccessServer Thing Shape — Provides the properties for Things derived from the GASModel Thing Template.
• GASSelector Thing — When a remote session is requested, the services on this Thing are called to find a Global Access Server for the remote session. For details on how the selection process works, refer to GASSelector Thing.
