UVMS: Setting up for Failover in a High Availability Environment

To prepare for failover, copy the GCA release to your MCP host and modify the constants in the LIB/INSTALL Parameters section of (<runtime usercode>)NGEN28/ WFL/LIBS/INSTALL <runtime pack>.

Copy the GCA release to Windows and mount the ISO image file.
Copy the GCA container file from the ISO image to the MCP host. Select the container with the package you want to install.
EPSILON: GCA-70-1000-nn.CON
ETA: ETA-GCA-70-1000-nn.CON

From CANDE, unwrap the container file.

EPSILON

WFL UNWRAP *= OUTOF "GCA-70-1000-nn.CON" TO <Transfer pack> (RESTRICTED=FALSE)

ETA

WFL UNWRAP *= OUTOF "ETA-GCA-70-1000-nn.CON" TO <Transfer pack> (RESTRICTED=FALSE)

Load down the LIB/INSTALL WFL:

EPSILON

COPY (TRANSFER)GCA/70/1000-nn/NGEN28/WFL/LIBS/INSTALL AS
(<runtime usercode>)NGEN28/WFL/LIBS/INSTALL
FROM <Transfer pack>(PACK) TO <Runtime pack>(PACK)

ETA

COPY (TRANSFER)ETA/GCA/70/1000-nn/NGEN28/WFL/LIBS/INSTALL
(<runtime usercode>)NGEN28/WFL/LIBS/INSTALL
FROM <Transfer pack>(PACK) TO <Runtime pack>(PACK)

Open (<runtime usercode>)NGEN28/WFL/LIBS/INSTALL ON <runtime pack>.

Modify the constants under LIB/INSTALL Parameters:
PRTUSERCODE = “<runtime usercode>”
PRTPACK = “<runtime pack>”
PICPREFIX = “(TRANSFER)GCA”
PMEDIANAME = “<Transfer Pack>”
PICNUMBER = “1000-nn”
PAPPLBLDID = “70”
PAPPLBLDPORT = “8800”
PINSTALLTEACH = “YES”
PINSTALLRATL = “NO”
PINSTALLLRSS = “NO”
PINSTALLTPTOMARC = “NO”
Mandatory changes:
PRTUSERCODE – MCP Runtime usercode
PRTPACK – MCP Runtime pack
PMEDIANAME – location of the GCA installation files
Change the APPL_BLD PORT number if the runtime does not use the default
APPL_BLD ID
PAPPLBLDPORT
Optional changes: set the ones to be installed to YES and set rest to NO.
PINSTALLTEACH
PINSTALLRATL
PINSTALLLRSS
PINSTALLTPTOMARC
Save (<runtime usercode>)NGEN28/WFL/LIBS/INSTALL ON <runtime pack>.
