Creating or Modifying a Location Record

If you want to monitor CASP application performance, you should create location records to represent all locations to and from which data travel across the CASP network. The Exchange Connector agent uses these location records to provide a geographical representation of end-to-end and in-flight data. You can view this data using the Candle CommandPro reports or Candle Management Workstation reports, if you have Candle Command Center installed.

Location records can be hierarchical. For example, you can have a location record called WORLD that contains several other location records (EUROPE, SOUTHAMERICA, USA, for example), each containing their own subset of location records.

In the figure below, the WORLD:USA location record is expanded to show sub-records for various states.

By creating hierarchical location records, you can avoid having to drill down to more detailed maps when viewing end-to-end or in-flight data using Candle Omegamon to view CASP performance data. You can also group CASP clients by geographical location, thus reducing directory administration overhead.

The Location Properties dialog includes the following tabs:
