Creating primary B&OM installation
This section describes how to create a primary B&OM installation for a distributed B&OM setup.
Each distributed B&OM setup shares a single configuration amongst its installations, as well as the storage folder. In order to create such a setup, you first need to setup a primary installation to share configuration and storage folder.
To create a primary installation, do the following:
- Run
AddOutputManagement.exe with the parameter
OutputManagement!Secondary=False to create a primary installation. During the installation, make sure
the database host is referred to either by computer name or IP address. This concerns the
OutputManagement!RepositoryDatabaseConnectionString and
OutputManagement!RuntimeDatabaseConnectionString parameters.
For all parameters used in a B&OM installation, refer to the Parameters section of this guide.
- Replace the default storage folder with a shared folder that can be accessed from both the primary and all secondary
installations using the exact same path.
- In KCM Studio, on the Administration tab, click System Administration and then click the system object.
- In the Object Inspector, locate the KCM Configuration section, and change the Storage folder settings to the shared folder preferably using an UNC path.
- Configure the KCM/Core and KCM/Repository host that you want several B&OM processes to use on both primary and
secondary computers. You can choose to have them all share a single host that has KCM/Core installed, or have then all refer to the
KCM/Core installation that each B&OM installation has installed locally.
- In KCM Studio, on the Administration tab, click System Administration and then click the system object.
- In the Object Inspector, locate the KCM/Core and KCM/Repository sections and adjust both Host properties, if necessary. Specify localhost if you want each B&OM installation to refer to the KCM/Core installation on its own server.
- If all B&OM installation share a single KCM/Core installation, configure it to accept remote connections. In KCM/Core Administrator, go to the DP Manager tab, and enable remote access to the Security section. Make sure the changes are saved and applied.
