Dbvserver is the Web server that provides the web interface to Dbvisit. This component is optional and only required if:

  • Dbvisit Standby is configured and run through a web browser.
  • Dbvisit Standby is to be scheduled using the built in web based scheduler (Dbvserver scheduler).

The default http port for Dbvserver is 8081. The default username/password is admin/admin.
Dbvserver should be running on all primary and standby servers.

Starting Dbvserver on Linux/Unix

Dbvserver can be started on Linux/Unix as follows. Dbvserver will start in the background and the session can be exited.

 

/usr/local/dbvisit> dbvserverd 
/usr/local/dbvisit> exit

Some erroneous messages may appear on the console if the session is not exited. This is normal.

Stopping Dbvserver on Linux/Unix

Dbvserver can be stopped on Linux/Unix by killing the dbvserverd processes or by running the following command:

 

/usr/local/dbvisit> dbvserverd stop

Starting and stopping Dbvserver on Windows

Dbvserver on Windows is a Windows service, which can be started, and stopped as a regular Windows service.

The Dbvserver service logs on as the Oracle windows account user.

Managing the Dbvserver service on Windows

The Dbvserver service can be managed using the dbvisit_install_win32 executable. Start the Dbvisit Standby Command Console and change directory to the Dbvserver\bin directory.

To delete or remove the service

 

C:\Program Files (x86)\Dbvisit\Dbvserver\bin> dbvisit_install_win32 delete


To create the service, the path to the dbvserverd.exe is required, also the Oracle account owner and the password.

 

C:\Program Files (x86)\Dbvisit\Dbvserver\bin> dbvisit_install_win32 create "c:\program files (x86)\dbvisit" oracle passwd

To show service

 

C:\Program Files (x86)\Dbvisit\Dbvserver\bin> dbvisit_install_win32 show

For help

 

C:\Program Files (x86)\Dbvisit\Dbvserver\bin> dbvisit_install_win32

Dbvserver directories

Dbvserver includes the following directories under the main dbvserver directory

  • log. This contains the log files for:
  • Dbvserver log files.
  • Scheduler log files.
  • Http access log files.
  • Optional debug log files.
  • etc. This contains the following files:
    • dbvserver.conf, which is the configuration file for Dbvserver.
    • scheduler.conf, which is the configuration file for the scheduler.
    • init.d directory, which contains the init.d templates to auto start Dbvserver at boot time.
  • tmp. Temporary directory used by Dbvserver.

Auto start Dbvserver at boot

If Dbvserver is used, then it is recommended to auto start the Dbvserver process at boot.
On Windows, this can be done by setting the Startup Type on the Dbvserver service to automatic:

On Unix/Linux this can be done by creating an init.d script to auto start Dbvserver at boot time. Example template init.d files can be found in:

/usr/local/dbvisit/dbvserver/etc/init.d

An example init.d script for redhat is:

 

# Source function library.
. /etc/init.d/functions
DBVISIT=/usr/local/dbvisit
DBVSERVERD=$DBVISIT/dbvserverd
PIDFILE=$DBVISIT/dbvserver/tmp/dbvserverd.pid
PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin
RETVAL=0
prog="dbvserverd"
start() {
    # Check if already running
    echo -n $"Starting $prog: "
    sudo -u oracle $DBVSERVERD
    RETVAL=$?
    echo     return $RETVAL
}
stop() {    
    echo -n $"Stopping $prog: "
    if [ -f "$PIDFILE" ]; then
       killproc $DBVSERVERD
    fi
    RETVAL=$?
     echo
     return $RETVAL
     }
restart() {
    stop
    start
 } case "$1" in
start)
    start
    ;;
stop)
    stop
    ;;
restart)
    restart
    ;;
*)
    echo $"Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart}"
    exit 1
esac 
exit $? e
xit $RETVAL

Dbvserver configuration

The Dbvserver configuration is determined by the settings in the dbvserver.conf file which is located in the etc directory.
This configuration file can be edited manually or updated through the web-based interface by going to the Settings page. The settings page should also be used to update the default password.

Dbvserver debugging

Dbvserver debugging can be turned on by setting debug = 1 in the dbvserver.conf file.
The debug information will be written to the dbvserver file on the log directory.
