ITS 6.20 - Multiple AGATES

[Former Member]

Hi,

Could someone please send me a sample copy of 'ITSRegistryWgate.xml which has multiple Agates.

I have setup 2 Agate servers and a seperate Wgate server.

I did modify the Wgate.xml to include both Agates & Wgate.

When I check the Loadbalance via the ADM, it displays both

the Agates, but the 1 Agate has the status 'polled'.

(obviously connection problems)

I have check the etc/services file and it does contain

the correct ports on both the Agate servers.

Am i missing something in my Wgate.xml file ??

Do i also need to set the Multiprocess to 'yes' to cater for the second Agate ??

Many thanks and appreciate the help !!!

Hello Morgan,

Please check the wgate traces for any problems:

Most common problems are:

• DNS could not be resolved

• (Agate MM) Ports on wgate are incorrect

• Port mix-up

>> have check the etc/services file and it does contain the correct ports on both the Agate servers.

• Sure you did not mix up AGate and MManager port?

>> Do i also need to set the Multiprocess to 'yes' to cater for the second Agate ??

• NO, this is when you use "multiple process" Agates i.e. loadbalancing on process-level at the agate side.

• Did you run a couple of sessions (with renewal of the browser) before looking at the "wgate-status"?

There is a trick to test if wgate loadbalancing is working in general; just semi LB on the same agate.

Just use the agate hostname as logical name and as an IP address. Afterwards you can replace the correct values (host, ports) for the other (foreign) agate.

Here's a sample:

<key name="Agates">

-<key name="Agate1">

--<value name="Host" type="text">P141087</value>

--<value name="PortAGate" type="text">sapavw00_IT1</value>

--<value name="PortMManager" type="text">sapavwmm_IT1</value>

--<value name="Type" type="text">1</value>

--<value name="SncNameAGate" type="text" />

--<value name="SncNameWGate" type="text" />

--<value name="MultiProcess" type="text">no</value>

--<value name="Available" type="text">yes</value>

-</key>

-<key name="Agate2">

--<value name="Host" type="text">194.0.0.11</value>

--<value name="PortAGate" type="text">3900</value>

--<value name="PortMManager" type="text">3910</value>

--<value name="Type" type="text">1</value>

--<value name="SncNameAGate" type="text" />

--<value name="SncNameWGate" type="text" />

--<value name="MultiProcess" type="text">no</value>

--<value name="Available" type="text">yes</value>

-</key>

</key>

Hi Fekke,

Many thanks for your help !!

There was a problem with the port definition in the

Registry.xml file.

It works perfect. Both Agates are being used.

The changes were made to the second Agate in the

Wgate.Registry xml file just the way u defined in your sample.

I have searched the SDN site and the tuning/Admin guide, but could not find a sample file containing 2 Agates.

Many thanks and appreciate your help !!!
