Adding or Removing a Server in Central Dispatch Site
After initial installation and configuration, Central Dispatch configuration and operation are handled primarily by the Siebel Server software. You can use Dispatch Manager to monitor the operation of your Central Dispatch server, as described in the Resonate documentation. However, you will not need to modify Central Dispatch configuration during normal operations, with the exception of adding or removing servers from your Siebel Enterprise Server.
To add a server
- Install and configure Central Dispatch on the new machine.
- Add the static IP addresses assigned to each server from the System Nodes tab of the Site Setup dialog box in Dispatch Manager, as described in Configuring the Central Dispatch Site. Then click Add, and Apply Changes.
- Verify that the correct static IP address is assigned to each server and that no static IP address is used more than once.
To remove a server
- Disable the server node from the central Dispatch site. For detail instruction, refer to the Resonate Central Dispatch User Guide.
- If you are removing a static IP address assigned to a server running a Siebel Gateway Name Server or Siebel Server:
- Stop the Siebel Server, the Siebel Gateway Name Server, or both (in that order) in that node before removing the IP address.
- Using Dispatch Manager, verify that none of the scheduling rules contain the static IP address, or node, you want to remove. If it does, manually remove the rule node. If the rule contains multiple nodes, update the rule to remove reference to those nodes. See Resonate Central Dispatch User Guide on the Siebel eBusiness Third-Party Bookshelf.
NOTE: Under normal circumstances, manually removing a node from a scheduling rule should not be necessary and primarily would be required only if a server did not shut down properly.
- Remove the static IP addresses assigned to each server from the System Nodes tab of the Site Setup dialog box in Dispatch Manager, as described in Configuring the Central Dispatch Site. Then click Delete and Apply Changes.
