Hello all,
I have a question. We have three servers: 2 for application server and one for database. We are using Baan IVc4 and Oracle 9i.
We want to duplicate server 1 (production) to server 2. In order to distribute the load.

what steps I have to follow?
SSA support, said that I have only to copy $BSE directory from server 1 to server 2.

But Im not sure about the DD.

Anyone have beeen faced a situation like this?

Thank you in advance.

DD as well.

old Baan installs have dict 1 level up from $BSE.. newer ones have $BSE/dict

now you have to make sure you're refreshing the $BSE and dict directories often because if you patch Box A it won't be reflected on Box B.

Also - needless to say, always patch on the same box...

Thanks Dave for your answer.
Ok, so, I have to copy all the $BSE directory (includes DICT dictionary) and thats all?

I don“t need to create de Data Dictionary for the server 2?

Thank you in advance.

No need for CRDD.

Hello, Dave
We finalized can duplicate our apps server a to apps server b. But I still have a trouble.... Our licencing code have two sequences, one for server a and one for server b.

When I kill the licence daemon on server b, kills the licence on server a!

This not happende before the duplication... so I assume that there configuration file on server b that are refering to server a...

Do you have any clue?
Thank you in advance.

I assume you're killing your license with
licmon6.1 -k

that will kill the daemons on the servers listed in $BSE/lib/licence6.1

I'm guessing that you didn't change that to point to your new server.

Fixing that may require relicensing your new box.

Dave,
Is correct, I didn't change that on the cloned server....

It wil be enough to eliminate the server a?

Thank you in advance.

No, because your .brand file is based on a licence6.1 file with server A in it.. if you remove it, you won't be able to start your licd...
