How can I prevent ICS_Notification synchronizations on startup between two Smarts SAM servers? I want to prevent/stop two Smarts SAM servers from synchronizing during startup Event synchronization takes too long on startup in hierarchical Smarts SAM environment
Resolution
The following sections of this Fix statement explain how to prevent ICS_Notification synchronizations at startup between two Smarts SAM servers, using a SAM-Presentation server subscribing to events from SAM-Aggregation server for the examples (see Note statement). This is done in the ic-event-driver.asl file on the SAM-Presentation server as follows:If SAM-Presentation server is running, stop the server.Open the ic-event-driver.asl file on the SAM-Presentation server for editing using sm_edit as follows: <BASEDIR>/SAM/smarts/bin/sm_edit rules/ics/ic-event-driver.asl Add the following line into the ic-event-driver.asl file:subscriberFE->ignoreOldNotifications = TRUE; The section where this is added is highlighted in the following example:subscriberFE = create("GA_SubscriberFE", driverName."-FE");subscriberFE->subscriberName = subscriberFE->subscriberName."-".driverName;subscriberFE->timerAlarmInterval = 10;subscriberFE->minimumCertainty = minimumCertainty;subscriberFE->eventSmoothingInterval = smoothingInterval;subscriberFE->suppressSubscriptionMessages = FALSE;subscriberFE->timeOut = timeOutFE;subscriberFE->SendsSubscriptionsTo = domainServer;subscriberFE->ignoreOldNotifications = TRUE; Save and close the file. This will make a copy to it's local/rules/ics/ directory.Start SAM-Presentation server. This server will now only be getting new notifications from SAM-Aggregation server
