Rules for Siebel Analytics Cluster Configuration File Parameters

Analytics License: All licenses.

Operating Systems: All.

The Siebel Analytics Server reads the NQClusterConfig.INI file after it reads the NQSConfig.INI file (when CLUSTER_PARTICIPANT is set to YES in the NQSConfig.INI file). Cluster Controllers also read this file.

Observe the following rule for entries in the NQClusterConfig.INI file:

• Entries need to be within the Cluster section and contained within the NQClusterConfig.INI file. Do not add the Cluster section to the NQSConfig.INI file.

NQClusterConfig.INI File Errors

If a Siebel Analytics Server detects a syntax error while reading the file, it logs the error to its NQServer.log file, located in the Log subdirectory in the Siebel Analytics software installation directory. If a Cluster Controller detects an error while reading the file, the error is logged to its NQClusterConfig.INI file, located in the Log subdirectory in the Siebel Analytics software installation directory. If a machine is hosting both a Siebel Analytics Server and a Cluster Controller, messages are written to both logs. There may also be a summary message in the system log relating to the error.

Some notes about syntax errors in the NQClusterConfig.INI file:

• Any syntax errors prevent the Siebel Analytics Cluster Server feature from starting up. If a Siebel Analytics Server detects a syntax error while reading the file, it logs the error to its NQServer.log file. If a cluster controller detects an error while reading the file, the error is logged to its NQCluster.log file.
• You need to correct the error and start the Siebel Analytics Server or Cluster controller again. Repeat this process until the server starts with no errors.
