C PCA Activation on Active SOAM

This procedure activates the PCA on a SOAM system.

This procedure does not require a Maintenance window.

  1. Establish a secure shell session on the active SOAM by using the XMI VIP address. Login as the admusr. Use your SSH client to connect to the server (ex. Putty).

    Note:

    You must consult your own software client’s documentation to learn how to launch a connection. For example:
    # ssh <active SOAM XMI VIP Address>
  2. Change to the following directory:
    $ cd /usr/TKLC/dsr/prod/maint/loaders/activate
  3. Run the feature activation script by executing the following command:
    $ ./load.pcaActivateBscoped

    Check the /var/TKLC/log/pcaActivateBscoped.log file to see if there is any execution failure.

    If the activation fails, then execute the procedure in Section PCA Deactivation Procedure to restore the system back to state before start of activation.

  4. Delete all GUI cache files on active SOAM for quick view of changes or wait for some time so new changes are reflected.
    $ clearCache

    If this procedure fails, contact My Oracle Support for assistance.
