Replication of the XMS Server’s database
Specify the Queue settings
When a failover occurs on the primary server, the secondary server assumes control and
queues the data changing events to disk in a queue folder, exactly like the primary server
does when operating normally. Once the primary server is back online, the secondary server
unloads the queue to the primary server, and when the queue is empty, the primary server
resumes control and the secondary server resumes its role. The primary server is operable
whenever it is running and the backlog queue from the secondary server is emptied.
In the Q UEUE SETTINGS section of the Xmedia Server Control Panel’s R EPLICATION page,
you must specify the full path (drive letter and the location) for the replication queue folder.
Typically, the replication queue folder should be stored on the F
DRIVE . If you do not specify
a drive letter, the folder location defaults to the working folder specified on the Xmedia
Server Control Panel’s G
ENERAL page. Note that the folder is only created once the XMS
service is restarted.
Also set the Q UEUE T AG , which is an identifier added to each file name in the queue folder.
To set the Queue settings:
1.
Open the Xmedia Server Control Panel and select the R EPLICATION tab.
2. Select the E NABLED check box.
3. Type the full path for the folder’s location (i.e. f:\Repliqueue) in the Q UEUE FOLDER field.
4. Type an identifier in the Q UEUE T AG field (i.e. XMS).
5. Click A PPLY .
Specify the Dataserver Database Connection settings
Set the D ATA S ERVER D ATABASE CONNECTION settings. It is recommended to set the DataServer
Database connection while the two servers are still fully independent of each other.
To set the DataServer Database connection settings:
1.
Open the Xmedia Server Control Panel and select the R EPLICATION tab.
2. Ensure that the E NABLED check box is selected.
3. Click the DS DB P ROPERTIES button.
The D ATA S ERVER D ATABASE C ONNECTION S ETTINGS dialog box appears.
4. Verify that the Enable dataserver database connection SETTINGS check box is
selected.
5. Select MS SQL S ERVER from the D ATABASE type drop-down list.
6. Type LOCALHOST as the S ERVER NAME field.
7. Type a user-defined database name (i.e. Datafeeds) in the D ATABASE NAME field.
8. Enable the W INDOWS A UTHENTICATION option.
9. Type a user name and password in the appropriate fields.
Typically, we recommend using the same user name and password as specified on the
Xmedia Server Control Panel’s D
ATABASE tab.
