DBServer Config File

[PFCCWA]

Hello,

I am trying to clarify what the DBServer configuration files in a primary/redundancy should consist of.
This is a set up I have and in my opinion the reason why we cant connect to CME or GA after the primary configuration server fails.
I have read on the framework deployment guide that the port value must be unique?  Is this the port or management-port, or both? or does it not matter?
[b][i]The configuration file for the backup DB Server must be the same as that for
the primary DB Server, with the following exceptions:
• The host value can be different if the backup DB Server is installed on a
different host computer other than the primary server.
• The port value must be unique.[/I][/b]

Primary DBServer config file:

[dbserver]
host=[localhostA]
port=4040
management-port =4051
dbprocesses_per_client=1
dbprocess_name=dbclient_msql
#
oracle_name=./dbclient_oracle
informix_name=./dbclient_informix
msql_name=./dbclient_msql
sybase_name=./dbclient_sybase
db2_name=./dbclient_db2
#
connect_break_time=1200
tran_batch_mode=off
#
#---------- dbserver log options ----------
#

[lca]
lcaport=4999

[log]
verbose=all
all=D:\Program Files (x86)\Logs\DBServer\DBServer.log
buffering=true
segment=10000
expire=30
standard=network

Backup DBServer config file:

[dbserver]
host=[localhostB]
port=4040
management-port =4041
dbprocesses_per_client=1
dbprocess_name=dbclient_msql
#
oracle_name=./dbclient_oracle
informix_name=./dbclient_informix
msql_name=./dbclient_msql
sybase_name=./dbclient_sybase
db2_name=./dbclient_db2
#
connect_break_time=1200
tran_batch_mode=off
#
#---------- dbserver log options ----------
#

[lca]
lcaport=4999

[log]
verbose=all
all=D:\Program Files (x86)\Logs\DBServer\DBServer.log
buffering=true
segment=10000
expire=30
standard=network

thanks.

I think the conf files for DBServer are configured properly. If you have registered an issue with cfg read-only mode after master confserv failed, try to check confserv.conf files, where you can find configuration pointing to primary and backup DB server - this configuration must be correct of course. I remember similiar issue and this was the root cause.

[PFCCWA]

is the documentation incorrect, where it specifies the 'port value must be unique'?

[Kubig]

Ports must be unique only in case when they running on same hosts, in other cases it is not necessary.

I think there maybe a misconfiguration on my confserv.cfg files then?

I suspect the dbServer sections are the wrong way round..
thanks..

Under "dbserver1" section should be the configuration of backup DB server. So,is your backup DB server at hostA? dbServer option must contain hostname of MSSQL server.
