Configure Secondary HIS Server |
|
|
Hi, I have a server with Host Integration Server 2004 configured as Primary
I have installed a second HIS 2004 configured as backup server in the same
subdomain. I have configured secondary server with the same parametres of
Primary server except for name, connection name and local APPC LU name. My
question is What do I have to do to enable failover ? On the primary server
there are 60 printers, I have read that need to copy printers from primary
to secondary with snacfg, could someone help me?
Regards

You will need to create the print queues on the secondary server, then
create new printers. You can use printmig to create the new queues, then
using snacfg, pipe out the print sessions from the primary, change the
following:
PRINTSESSION3270 <originalname>/ADD \
/SERVER:PRIMARYSNA \
to
PRINTSESSION3270 <newname>/ADD \
/SERVER:BACKUPSNA \
where <originalname> is the original printsession name, <newname> is the
printsession name on the backup, and PRIMARYSNA is the primary SNA Server's
name, and BACKUPSNA is the backup SNA Server's name.
Also, you would need to change:
/LUNAME:OriginalLU# \
to
/LUNAME:NewLU# \
where originalu# is the original (primary) 3270 LU name (LU7 for instance)
and NewLU# is the new LU name (IE:BLU7)
You would have to do the above for each print session (search and replace in
notepad helps).
Then import the changes back in.
If you use printmig to create the new queues on the backup, you would not
have to change the printer name (/DEVICENAME:"Generic / Text Only" for
instance).
Once you do this, set the connections on the backup snaserver to start up
on-demand. You will have to manually start the snaprint service. If you
attempt to start the snaprint service, the connections on the backup would
attempt to go active as we attempt to start those print LUs and sessions.
Which you don't really want.
HTH,
Charles

Thanks for your help.
Is there a link where I can find more information (best practices,
implementing guide) about configuring Secondary HIS Server?
Thanks again

applies.
