Deactivating and Reactivating a Regional Node

CAUTION:  This section describes the procedure to deactivate and reactivate a Regional Node. Make sure to do a full backup of the HQ Node and the Regional Nodes before deactivating a regional node.

To deactivate a regional node

  1. Synchronize all remaining transactions of remote users assigned to the Regional Node (if any).
  2. Make sure all transactions have been applied to the Regional Node (for example, make sure that Txn Merger on the Regional Node has processed the .dx files).
  3. Check that the transactions have been synchronized with the HQ node.
  4. Move every Remote user attached to your Regional Node to either the HQ Node or another Regional Node (if any).
  5. Shut down the Transaction Processor, Router, Merger and RepAgent on the Regional Node.
  6. Shut down the Transaction Processor and Router on the HQ Node.
  7. On the HQ Node, set the Effective End Date for the Regional Node in View > Site Map > Siebel Remote Administration > Replication Servers.
  8. Restart the Transaction Processor and Router on the HQ Node.
  9. Point the Regional Node connected users to HQ by modifying ODBC sources and the CFG file.
  10. Delete the docking folder for the Regional Node from the Siebel Server\DOCKING directory on the HQ Node as it is no longer needed.

To reactivate a Regional node

  1. Shut down the Transaction Processor and Router on the HQ Node.
  2. On the HQ Node, set the Effective End Date to NULL in Remote Administration > Replication Servers for this Regional Node, on HQ.
  3. Reextract and reinitialize the regional database.
