Hi All,

I have Spectrum 10.2.3 configured in a Fault Tolerance environment. 

We are often tied up to manually start/stop the Spectroserver to save from database being terminated.

Is there anyway we can automate this process. Or we can start/stop the SS without the database being terminated,

Hi, 

You can schedule database backup from your spectrum control panel so that at scheduled time CA Spectrum will take backup with stopping spectroserver and starts spectroserver after successful back-up.

Database will by synced with your fault tolerant database at the same time.

Guneet,

When shutting down or rebooting the system, when processd is shutdown, it attempts to shutdown the Spectrum processes gracefully (SpectroSERVER, Archive Manager, Location Server, etc) before it shuts itself down. However, sometimes, a Spectrum process takes longer to shutdown than allowed so the system ends up stopping the processes ungracefully. In the case of the SpectroSERVER and Archive manager, it could cause database corruption so a reload of a saved database may be required.

We can tell the system to give processd more time to shutdown to avoid this. 

On Windows, increase the WaitToKillServiceTimeout value using the Registry Editor. Reference Setting Up a Distributed SpectroSERVER Environment - CA Spectrum - 10.2 to 10.2.3 - CA Technologies Documentation 

On Linux, add "PROCESSD_SHUTDOWN_TIMEOUT=60000" to the /opt/SPECTRUM/spectrum80.env file.

Additionally, to have processd automatically start the SS and ARCHMGR on startup, you can edit the $SPECROOT/lib/SDPM/partslist/SS.idb and ARCHMGR.idb file. Reference How to configure Spectrum to automatically start a - CA Knowledge
