Configuring the Event Server › Switch to Single Event Server Mode

Switch to Single Event Server Mode

You can configure CA Workload Automation AE to run in single event server mode. This is useful after a database rollover. When CA Workload Automation AE is running in dual event server mode and the scheduler detects an unrecoverable error condition on one of the event servers, it automatically rolls over to single event server mode on the other event server. To keep that event server active (UP status), you can switch to single event server mode.

Follow these steps:

1. Click Start, Programs, CA, Workload Automation AE, Administrator.

   The Instance - CA Workload Automation AE Administrator window opens.

2. Select an instance from the Instance drop-down list in the Settings pane.
3. Click the Event Server icon on the toolbar.

   The Event Server - CA Workload Automation AE Administrator window appears.

4. Verify that the A Database Rollover Has Occurred check box is cleared.

   Note: By default, the A Database Rollover Has Occurred check box is disabled.

5. Stop the scheduler and the application server services as follows:
   1. Click the Services icon on the toolbar.

      The Services - CA Workload Automation AE Administrator window appears, displaying a list of services installed on the selected instance.

   2. Right-click the scheduler and select Stop. Repeat this action for the application server.

      The scheduler and application server stop.

6. Disable the second event server as follows:
   1. Click the Event Server icon on the toolbar.

      The Event Server - CA Workload Automation AE Administrator window appears.

   2. Click the Event Server 1 or Event Server 2 tab based on the event server you want to disable and Click Disable.

      The second event server is disabled. The status of the second event server is displayed as DOWN.

7. Start the scheduler and the application server services as follows:
   1. Click the Services icon on the toolbar.

      The Services - CA Workload Automation AE Administrator window appears, displaying a list of services installed on the selected instance.

   2. Right-click the scheduler and select Start. Repeat this action for the application server.

      The scheduler and application server start.

   CA Workload Automation AE runs in single event server mode. You can view the relevant messages in the scheduler and the application server log files.
