Running a Maintain on a Specific Server Through the Command Console

August 26, 2008, 08:59 AM

I am currently testing a configuration of WebFOCUS 7.6.4 on Windows Server 2003. I have two reporting servers:

1) Full function server named EDASERVE. This is the default server in the WebFOCUS client.

2) A Maintain SAS named WFM_SAS. This server has an additional private service named DEPLOY for application deployment.

The WFM_SAS is an additional configuration using the same binaries as EDASERVE.

The two reporting servers, the WebFOCUS client, and the web/application server (Apache tomcat 6.0.18) are all on the same machine.

I deploy the application to the DEPLOY service on WFM_SAS using an additional Remote Server I set up in the WebFOCUS Client with same PORT and HTTP_PORT as WFM_SAS but with CLIENT(DEPLOY). Add the MNTCON LOADIMAGE command to the EDASPROF. But I am having trouble running the maintain procedure.

Since the EDASERVE is the default server on the WebFOCUS client, when I issue a MNTCON RUNIMAGE from the command console in Developer's Studio, I get a LOADIMAGE not found. It tries to run the command in EDASERVE.

When I change the default server to WFM_SAS in the WebFOCUS client the command runs without fail. How can I specify running a command in a specific service in a specific server from the command console in Developer's Studio?

Sandbox Config:

WebFOCUS 7.6.4 in Window Server 2003
Apache Tomcat 6.0.18
JRE 1.6.07

Why are you trying to run SAS from the Dev Studio command console? The SAS config should only be active when you’re ready to run the entire app from a launch form, etc. Otherwise the app should be tested in private mode.

The problem could be...

You might be hitting a local odin for the Dev Studio server vs. your remote servers. If you have any trouble running outside of Dev Studio, it could be a question of making sure the server node with service name is in ALL Odin.cfg files, including in the client.
