DCA Application Re-activation

DCA Feature reactivation option is executed mainly during Disaster Recovery. It allows reactivating all the activated DCA Applications in the system after Disaster Recovery procedure is executed. Detailed steps are given in the procedure below.

This procedure verifies that the global admin has been enabled.

1. Log out of any active NOAM VIP GUI sessions.
2. Establish a secure shell session on the active NOAM VIP GUI by using the XMI VIP address. Log in as admusr. Use your SSH client to connect to the server (for example Putty).

   Note:

   You must consult your own software client’s documentation to learn how to launch a connection. For example:

   # ssh <active NO XMI VIP Address>
3. Change to the DCA activation directory, execute the following command:
   # cd /usr/TKLC/dsr/prod/maint/loaders/
4. Execute the DCA activation script. Run the DCA activation script by executing the following command:
   # ./featureActivateDeactivate

   Choose Activate and DCA Application options.

   When asked, select Activate a DCA Application.

   Note:

   The above option is not asked the DCA is not active on the system. The script goes directly to Activate a DCA Application mode.

   When asked, Enter the long name for the DCA application.

   Note:

   The DCA long name should consist of a combination of letters, numbers, and spaces and should not begin with a space. It has a maximum of 32 characters.

   When asked, Enter the short name for the DCA application.

   Note:

   The DCA short name should consist of a combination of letters and numbers. It has a maximum of 6 characters.

   Verify the screen looks similar to the sample DCA Application Re-activation.

   Expand the option Status & Manage and click Server to restart the DSR MP.

5. Log in to the active NOAM VIP and SOAM VIP GUIs.
6. In the NOAM VIP and SOAM VIP GUIs, verify the DCA Application folder and sub-menus.

   On the NOAM VIP GUI , verify the DCA folder with the name provided in Step 4 displays under the DCA Framework menu. Sub-menus should include: General Options, Trial MP assignment, and Application Control.

   On SOAM VIP GUI, verify the DCA folder with the name provided in Step 4 displays under the DCA Framework menu. Sub-menus should include: General Options, Trial MP assignment, Application Control, and System Options.

7. Close SSH connection to active NOAM VIP GUIs. Log out of the active NOAM VIP GUI log in shell and close the SSH connections by executing the following command:
   # exit

   Close the SSH connection.
