Re: Email engine is a server group

2014-01-31 Thread Walters, Mark
In a server group the email engine runs on all of the servers but is put in a 
suspended state on all but the highest ranked.  Should the highest ranked AR 
server fail then the next highest ranked email engine is signalled (by its AR 
server) to resume processing.  When the higher ranked server comes back online 
it resumes processing and the lower ranked one is suspended.

The messages you see during startup (java.net.ConnectException: Connection 
refused Email Engine currently is not up) happen because the server 
tries to signal the email engine before it has been started by armonitor - you 
can ignore them or put the email engine before the server in armonitor.cfg.

The suspend/resume signal is sent by the server running a Java process - if 
you're on Unix you can enable arfork logging and see this - the commands are
$ java -jar EmailAdminAgent.jar suspend/resume

If you're trying to diagnose a problem with failover operations enable server 
group logging and you should see the secondary server detecting the primary 
fail and resuming the email engine.

The emaild.sh script in the directory has the following options   
usage: emaild.sh { start | stop | status }   

The status option gives something like
./emaild.sh status   
   checking BMC Remedy Email Engine ...   
   BMC Remedy Email Engine is running on port xx

Hi Fred,

I can see the emaildaemon.jar but would that confirm the email engine is 
running? When I started the AR Server it displayed the following BMC Remedy 
Email Engine has started AR System Plugin Version 7.6.04 SP3 Remote Exception
java.rm1.ConnectException: Connection refused to host: local host; nested 
exception is:
java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused Email Engine currently is not 
up

Is there another way to verify the email engine is running or not?

Thanks
Mark

That means the server's sendmail daemon is running

The ARS Email Engine would show up as a java process running emaildaemon.jar

Hi All,

I have two servers in a server group. I stopped one of the servers and then 
restarted. Came up fine except for the email engine. Connection refused, to 
host. Currently the second server is handling the email and connects to the 
mailbox on a Linux server. Could this be normal? Only one server can connect to 
the mailbox at a time?

Mark,
As I understand it, the Email Engine should connect to its own associated
app server, so that when app 1 goes offline, app2 should signal its email
engine to take over operations, and if email engine 1 should still be
connected...it would stop operationsbut that's just a theoretical
understanding..
