13.2 DCA Application Activation

The DCA framework must be activated before any application can be activated.

  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 Activation.
