Concepts › Names and Databases of Dual Event Servers

Names and Databases of Dual Event Servers

You define the dual event servers using the Event Server - CA Workload Automation AE Administrator window. Typically, the Event Server 1 pane defines an event server for single event server mode and the Event Server 2 pane lets you define a second event server and enable dual event server mode. However, you can enable and define either Event Server 1 or Event Server 2 to be in single event server mode.

The following fields in the Event Server 1 and Event Server 2 panes define the event server information:

Name or Alias

Defines the name of the database server on Sybase or Microsoft SQL Server. On Oracle, it defines the alias for the event server. When performing database queries, CA Workload Automation AE uses this value to locate the event server. If you are using multiple instances and cross-instance job dependencies, do the following:

• For Oracle, supply a unique alias for each event server.
• For Sybase or Microsoft SQL Server, you can define multiple databases on the same event server.

Note: Depending on the database that you are using, you can find the name in the following locations:

• For Sybase, this name is stored in the Sybase SQL.INI interface file.
• For Oracle, this alias is stored in the Oracle TNSNAMES.ORA file.
• For Microsoft SQL Server, this name is the CA Workload Automation AE instance name. For example, machine_name:instance_name, where machine_name defines the machine name or the host name of the machine and instance_name defines the name of the CA Workload Automation AE instance. The host name is valid when the default instance is used as the event server. You can check the database settings using the Microsoft SQL Enterprise Manager.

Database

Defines the database name for a specific event server. The default value is AEDB. In dual event server mode, the value for both event servers can be different. This field is not displayed for Oracle installations.

Note: The entire value of the Name and Database fields can be up to 64 characters.

Host Name

Defines the database host name.

Port

Defines the database TCP/IP listener port.

Status

Indicates the status of the event server.

Note: The equivalent configuration parameters are EventServer_1 and EventServer_2.
