Deactivating a Regional Node

This topic describes how to deactivate a regional node.

Caution: Make sure you do a full backup of the headquarters node and the regional nodes before you deactivate a regional node.

To deactivate a regional node

1. Synchronize remaining transactions of the users who are assigned to the regional node.

2. Make sure all transactions are applied to the regional node.

   For example, make sure the Transaction Merger on the regional node has processed the DX files.

3. Make sure the transactions are synchronized with the headquarters node.

4. Move sure every user who resides on the deactivated regional node is also assigned to the headquarters node or to another regional node.

5. Shut down the following server components on the regional node:

   • Transaction Processor

   • Transaction Router

   • Transaction Merger

   • Replication Agent

     For more information, see Using the Command Line Interface to Administer Server Components.

6. Shut down the Transaction Processor and Transaction Router server components on the headquarters node.

7. On the headquarters node, navigate to the Administration - Siebel Remote screen, and then the Replication Servers view.

8. Set the Effective End Date for the regional node.

9. Restart the Transaction Processor and Transaction Router server components on the headquarters node.

   For more information, see Using the Administrative Interface to Administer Server Components.

10. To make sure the connected users of the regional node reference the headquarters node, you modify the ODBC sources and the configuration file.

    For more information, see Modifying the Siebel Configuration File for Siebel Remote.

11. Delete the deactivated docking folder for the regional node from the SIEBEL_ROOT\docking folder on the headquarters node.
