Once Dbvisit Standby has been tested manually and is functioning correctly, it should be scheduled to ensure the standby database is automatically updated.Schedule Dbvisit Standby in cron or other scheduling tool on both the primary and standby server to fully automate and complete the Dbvisit Standby process. How often Dbvisit Standby is scheduled will be an individual choice. Dbvisit Standby can also be scheduled using the build in scheduler with Dbvserver.

Choose Scheduling through either CRON or DBSERVER to schedule Dbvisit Standby - NOT BOTH

CRON - Scheduling Dbvisit Standby through cron.

Dbvisit Standby can be scheduled in cron on Linux or Unix.

 

Example Primary server:

00,10,20,30,40,50 * * * * /usr/local/dbvisit/standby/dbvisit w120n
Where w120n is the DDC name. Dbvisit Standby is scheduled every 10 minutes

Example Standby server:

00,10,20,30,40,50 * * * * /usr/local/dbvisit/standby/dbvisit w120n
Where w120n is the DDC name. Dbvisit Standby is scheduled every 10 minutes

Dbvserver - Scheduling Dbvisit Standby through build in scheduler.

Dbvisit Standby can be scheduled in the build in scheduler that comes with Dbvserver. This does require the dbvserverd process to be running at all times on both the primary and standby servers.

1. Choose Run from the main menu.

2. Choose Run Interactive.

3. Click on Primary Server tab set schedule and click on Save Schedule.

4. Click on Standby Server tab set schedule and click on Save Schedule.

The dbvserverd process must be running on the standby server.
