Configuration of openFT

You are recommended to work without CMX and TNS (ftmodo -cmx=n .tns=n, default after new installation).

If using TNS make sure, that on both nodes of the cluster the same TNS entries are available, or use the registry replication of the cluster for this.

The asynchronous server is no separate service. The services openFT and openFT Security Server must always be started.

Configuration on first node (P870_DDM)

• Stop asynchronous openFT server: via Administration - Stop Asynchronous Server or use command ftstop.

• If you are using the TNS during operation with CMX then you must adapt the TNS entries $FJAM, $FJAMOUT and $FTAM if required (only TCP/IP entries should be present).

• Set the address of the std instance:

  ftmodi std -addr=P870_DDM

• On instance std start asynchronous openFT server: Choose instance std and select Administration - Start Asynchronous Server in the openFT Explorer or enter the command ftstart.

• Bring the first node online (using Move Group).

• Create a new instance cluster and check it (OPENFT is the hostname of the cluster, OPENFT.XYZ.NET the corresponding DNS-name; the directory S:\openFT must exist, the directory S:\openFT\cluster may not exist):

  ftcrei cluster S:\openFT\cluster -addr=OPENFT.XYZ.NET
  ftshwi @a –l
  Instance  Address          Directory
  --------- ----------       --------------------
  cluster   OPENFT.XYZ.NET   S:\openFT\cluster
  std       P870_DDM         C:\ProgramData\Fujitsu Technology Solutions\
  openFT\var\std
  

• Select the cluster instance in the drop down list of the openFT Explorer and start asynchronous openFT server automatically:
  openFT Explorer Administration - Operating Parameters, activate the option Start Asynchronous Server Automatically.

  Starting the service openFT - cluster will automatically start the asynchronous openFT server.

• Store the user password for the new instance via openFT Explorer or command ftsetpwd.

• If you use authentication on the cluster instance, public keys of partner systems must be stored in the directory S:\openFT\cluster\syskey, respectively make the public key of the directory S:\openFT\cluster\config available for partner systems.

Configuration on second node (PN70_DDM)

• Stop asynchronous openFT server (see above)

• If Use TNS is active: Adapt the TNS entries $FJAM, $FJAMOUT and $FTAM if required (only TCP/IP entries should be present)

• Set address of std instance:

  ftmodi std -addr=PN70_DDM

• On Instance std start asynchronous openFT server (see above)

• Bring the second node online (using Move Group)

• Activate and check instance cluster (you may not specify an address since the instance already exists):

  ftcrei cluster S:\openFT\cluster
  ftshwi @a -l
  Instance Address          Directory
  -------- ----------       --------------------
  cluster  OPENFT.XYZ.NET   S:\openFT\cluster
  std      PN70_DDM         C:\ProgramData\Fujitsu Technology Solutions\
  openFT\var\std
