  • 1.  Spectrum Customization?

    Posted Dec 11, 2017 09:23 AM

    We have four Spectrum one click servers behind a load balancer. We have a primary one click server that has custom modifications. This modification is the ability to see the community sting column in the locator.

     

    We would like to take this custom modification and sync it with the rest of the one click servers so they all have the same configuration.

     

    Where are the files that this customization comes from in Spectrum on Redhat Linux and what is the best way to sync these changes to all Spectrum one click servers? TIA

     

    Thank you,

     

    Jim

    Hi Jim,

     

    The file for the custom column added to the Locator Search results is located in the $SPECROOT/custom/topo/config directory. Depending on how the customization was done the file will either be the "table-searchresults-config.xml" or the "table-model-config.xml" file.

     

    To ensure all the OneClick servers have the same customizations, I would simply copy over the entire $SPECROOT/custom directory, from the "primary" OneClick server, to your other OneClick servers, and bounce tomcat. 

     

    If you need to synchronize the MIB Tools database between the various OneClick servers, see the "Certifications" guide - "MIB Tools Support for Multiple SpectroSERVERs" section, as well as the "Import and Export MIBs" section of the guide.

     

    Thank you,

    Brad

    Hi Jim,

     

    As Brad mentioned, probably the easiest way would be to copy %SPECROOT%/custom directory from the Primary OneClick Server onto another OneClick Server -> restart the tomcat service for changes to take effect

     

    Note: Do not forget to backup existing %SPECROOT%/custom directory 

     

    If all looks well, you could repeat the above steps on the remaining OneClick Servers.
