Installing parallel servers¶

To install parallel servers, proceed as follows:

The two servers are referred to below as server A and server B.

1. Stop the VDog MasterService on both servers.

2. Perform the following steps on server A:

   1. Create a directory with the name 65538 under ...\vdServerArchive\VD$X\Configuration\.

   2. Create a file with the name csc.ini in the created directory using any text editor. Add the following content to the file:

      [VDogAdminServer.exe]
      4851=ParallelServerB
      [VDogOsServer.exe]
      4851=ParallelServerB
      [VDogCheckInCheckOutServer.exe]
      4851=ParallelServerB
      [VDogScheduler.exe]
      4851=ParallelServerB
      [VDogApi.exe]
      4851=ParallelServerB
      

      The entry ParallelServerB must be replaced by the computer name of server B.

   3. Open the \vdServerArchive\VD$A\Configuration\server.ini file with a text editor and add the following section and key:

      [ServerSynchronization]
      12650=Y
      

   4. Start the VDog MasterService.

3. Repeat the steps on server B. In the csc.ini file, replace the entry ParallelServerB with the computer name of server A.

4. If project data already exists on one of the two servers, it must be synchronized using the application VDogParallelServerUtil.exe.
