GAD not connecting to backup configuration server

[PFCCWA]

Hello,

I am wondering why GAD (764) did not connect to the backup configuration server (when primary failed).
The application is connected to confserv, sipserver, messageserver and statserver.
There is no connection protocol, remote or local timeouts defined - is this why?

In our scenario, the primary configuration server host failed, confserv failed over to its backup.
When users tried to login using GAD, they received message '..configuration server is down..'.
At this point confserv_backup is running in primary mode (confserv is backup as host has restarted).

In GAD deployment guide there is a text indicating how configuration server backup could be used:
[i]Configuring Genesys Desktop Using the Configuration File
The Genesys Desktop configuration file is a well-commented XML file that is
located at: <installation directory>/webapps/gdesktop/WEB-INF/web.xml.
The installation script automatically fills in some of the values for the
elements, using data that you entered when you installed Genesys Desktop.
Note: Genesys Desktop uses the backup Configuration Server only when
starting up, not while it is running.[/i]

Do I need to define backup config server in web.xml?
I am assuming in this situation agents should have been able to use GAD if the setup was correct, or better?

thanks.

Doesn't make any attempt to connect with backup configuration server (confserv_backup - hosgen02).

thanks.

think I have found the solution..

[i]Problem Description After Config Server switchover Genesys Desktop is unable to connect to backup Config Server which has changed its mode to primary.


Environment 


Impact on Environment 


Troubleshooting Techniques 


Root Cause Misconfiguration in genesys Desktop Tomcat's web.xml file -

configServerHostBackup
configServerPortBackup
parameter values are not configured


Solution Set correct values of
configServerHostBackup
configServerPortBackup
in genesys Desktop's web.xml located in /webapps/gdesktop/web-inf forlder.[/i]

yes, you need manually define your config servers in xml file.
