Automated MDM Server restart

[Former Member]

Hello.

We currently have an MDM server running on a Windows environment (32 bit). We have weekly automated reboots of the server and have come across a problem with the reboots in that even though the Oracle and MDM Server services are set to automatic, it seems they are not starting in the correct order. After the reboot, we go to the MDM Console and try to connect to the Repository of the started MDM Server but receive an error. We restart the MDM Server and then are able to log on.

Does anyone know of a way to not have this happen and make sure that the Server and Oracle are started in the correct order? Also, it appears as though the Repository does not automatically load upon a restart. Is there a way to make this happen, as well? We are looking to fully automate these processes so that we do not have to manually check these items for the weekly reboots.

Thanks,

Nicole

Hi Nicole,

Let's begin from the second question about automation of loading repositories: first you set the MDM Server service to Automatic start up type (in the services.msc applet) and then you set Autostart=1 in the mds.ini file.

Regarding Oracle/MDM start up order: you may set MDM Service to Manual start up and then use Windows scheduler to start the MDM Server 20 minutes after reboot using CLIX, it will be enough for Oracle to start. Your reboots are automatic, as such, you should know its time, add 10 minutes for Windows start up and 20 minuts for Oracle from the reboot time in the scheduler. Don't forget to set Autostart=1 in the mds.ini file to automatically load reositories.

Hello Ram,

When you make any changes in MDM.ini.

Just restart the MDM Server then changes will get into effect.

Autostart=1, this is the setting for automatic load of the all mounted repository on console when you restart the MDM Server anytime.

and remember 'a' is capital here in autostart=1.

We can Load repositories when we restart server again with autostart=1 as mentioned by Saurabh earlier, but there is no mechanism that we can automatically connect also to them.

Hi,

For this If your Database sever is not connected properly with MDM server it won't work and show a lock symbol to MDM server.

After everything is fine Database listener service with MDM will get start.

After that for all the preexist repositories you have to load.

Hi,

You cannot automate the MDM server Restart process.

Initially check out whether your database is working fine,because if the database is not working it shows Invalid(!) symbol or there is no connectivity between MDM and database it shows a locked symbol.

After the database is started check with MDM server,Import and syndiacator server.Then start the database listener service at last.

Whenever you restart the server all repositories are unloaded ,you have to manuaaly load them everytime you restart the server.
