Coordinator Settings Dialog - Coordinator->General Page

The Coordinator->General page contains commonly-used Coordinator-related settings:

Communication Settings

Coordinator Service Port

The Coordinator uses a single TCP/IP port to communicate with Agents in the IncrediBuild environment. Modify this value if you believe the port is also being used by another application or service, or if setting another port is necessary for security reasons. Note that after modifying this setting, the Coordinator port settings must be changed for each of the IncrediBuild Agents in order for them to communicate with the Coordinator.

Agent reports its status every X seconds

The Coordinator constantly accepts status reports from all Agents, and uses this information to optimally assign Agents to builds running in the system. This setting sets the interval between the Agents' status reports.
Using a low setting will produce better build speeds but slightly more network traffic, which may be noticeable on slower networks. Using a higher setting will reduce network traffic, but might produce slightly slower builds.
It is generally recommended to keep the default setting.

Agent Subscription

Automatically subscribe new Agents

Determines whether new Agents that attempt to connect to the Coordinator will automatically be subscribed to the Coordinator (license restrictions permitting). If, for security reasons, you prefer to disable this option, Agents will appear as "Unsubscribed" in the Coordinator application and will not be able to initiate distributed builds or participate in builds until they are manually subscribed.
The Reset button clears all records of Agents that were manually unsubscribed in the past. This will allow such Agents to be automatically subscribed (if this feature is enabled) when attempting to connect to the Coordinator.

Options

Prevent system standby state while service is running

When enabled, this mode prevents the machine running the IncrediBuild Coordinator service from entering standby mode while the service is running. By default, this setting is turned on.
