Tuning Central Dispatch for AIX


Before running Siebel Server with Central Dispatch on AIX, you need to set the following Central Dispatch settings.

To tune Central Dispatch for AIX

  1. Make sure that the VIP and the IP address of the Primary Scheduler are on the same Subnet.
  2. Use a dedicated user account for the Central Dispatch admin user and disable the lockout feature for this particular user.
  3. If the lockout feature is enabled, it will have an impact on the availability of the Central Dispatch site.

  4. On the Central Dispatch machine, change the Heart Beats Until Down and Agent Heart Beat Interval as follows:
    1. Bring up the Central Dispatch Manager.
    2. Navigate to Site Setup > Operations > Advanced Options.
    3. Set Heart Beats Until Down to 100.
    4. Set the Agent Heart Beat Interval to 1.
    5. Navigate to Site Setup >Operations.
    6. If Central Dispatch is running, stop and restart the server.
  5. On the Central Dispatch machine and Siebel Server machines, set the following environment variables in the $RESONATE/bin/cdagenctl file. These values are the maximum permitted.
  6. HTTP_INACTIVE_CONN_TIMEOUT = 31536000

    SERVER_INACTIVE_CONN_TIMEOUT = 31536000

  7. To restart the Central Dispatch daemons, run /$RESONATE/bin/cdagentctl.
  8. Make sure that there are no scheduling rules registered with Central Dispatch before restarting the Siebel Servers after the site or servers were down for a refresh.
  9. NOTE:  If any open connections are observed across the site from the Dispatch Manager console, stop and restart the Central Dispatch site before starting the Siebel Servers.
