Title: set up configuration group
Post by: sdf on 29 Mar 2021 09:58:43 AM
Hi Gurus,

Let say we have two content manager servers, CM_P, and CM_S.
What should be the correct setup in teh Configuration group?

Currently on CM_P (Primary)
Group name : CG_CM_P
Group Contact host : CMP.hostname.com
Member coordination host : CMP.hostname.com

Currently on CM_S (Stand_by)
Group name : CG_CM_P
Group Contact host : CMP.hostname.com
Member coordination host : CMS.hostname.com

Can anyone confirm if this is the correct way?

Thanks!
sdf

Hi,

If all is well you should be able to retrieve the correct values when setting up the Standby Content Manager. Have you tried the Retrieve option?

Cheers!

Hi MF,

We cannot use retrieve because of the way our namespaces are set up.
We are using CJAP namespace and configured our gateways to point to specific namespaces.
Users have no way of logging directly to cognos, they'll have to pass through the authentication from the main System.

Although we are always successful when doing Verify.

I did try and select AD namespace because we do have AD setup as well but to no avail.
Would just like to know if the setup we have now is correct.
