Problems with cluster

Ibm Cognos Planning 8.4, Oracle, IIS

I have the next situation.

There are 2 independent Cognos Servers - the test one and the production one. They have their own independent Oracle db with different user names [for planning and content store] and passwords. I want to use the test server in a cluster with the production server in some periods.

I made the next steps. In Cognos Configuration in the test server I put ways for Oracle db of the production server for content and planning stores. After it I started this configuration. The test server appeared in the production server. I joined it to the cluster and launched a macros.

But the macros failed and the problem was that the Oracle user of the test server was bloked [it happens if the password whihc is inputted for Oracle user incorrectly several times]. It seemed that the old password for the test server for Oracle saved in one place. And it was true. It stayed in CAC - for Datastore for example and for Contributor Applications.

And it seems there are 2 ways to go. The first one is remove all applications from the test store and datastore after it. But it would be really inconvinient. The second one is won't launch all services in Cognos Configuration-Environment-Ibm Cognos 8 Service. But I don't know which services I must launch which will be enough for using the test server in the cluster and it wouldn't launch CAC services. May be you can help with the answer. Or offer other ways.
