Turn on archive mode for Report server CMDB replication

  1. Mount a NFS shared directory on both Super and report server and make sure that this mount can survive system reboot. For example:

/data/replication/archive

  1. Make this shared directory own by postgres.postgres
  2. On Super, edit postgresql.conf under /cmdb/data to turn on archive mode by uncommenting (removing # in the first column) the following lines and make sure archive_command points to the correct directory which is created in step 1
  3. On Report Server, edit /cmdb/data/recovery.conf and uncomment the following lines and make sure restore_command and archive_cleanup_command are pointing to the directory created in step 1:
  4. On Super, restart postgresql DB ‘service postgresql-9.1 restart’
  5. On Super, restart App Server (Glassfish)
  6. On Report Server, restart postgresql DB ‘service postgresql-9.1 restart’

Registering Report Server

  1. In the Admin tab, select License Management.
  2. Under Report Server Information, click Add.
  3. Enter the Report Server IP Address, and the Database Username and Password you want to use to administer Report Server.

These are also the credentials that you will use when you set up the Visual Analytics Server to read data from Report Server.

  1. Click Run in Background if you want Report Server registration to run in the background for larger installations.

When CMDB size is under 1GB, registration takes approximately 3 minutes to complete.

  1. When registration completes, click OK in the confirmation dialog.
