Configuring dynamic agents in high availability through multiple gateways

About this task

You can configure agents to communicate through as gateway, as described in Configuring dynamic agent communications through a gateway. You can also configure high availability by defining a list of backup gateways to be used by the agents in case the primary gateway encounters an error.

To define a list of backup gateways, perform the following steps on each dynamic agent configured to act as a gateway:

Procedure

  1. Stop the agent by running the ShutDownLwa command, as described in ShutDownLwa - Stop the agent.
  2. Browse to the JobManagerGW.ini file on the dynamic agent configured to act as a gateway. The JobManagerGW.ini is located in the following paths:
    On UNIX operating systems
    TWA_DATA_DIR/ITA/cpa/config/JobManagerGW.ini
    On Windows operating systems
    TWA_home\TWS\ITA\cpa\config\JobManagerGW.ini
  3. Browse to the [ITA] section and specify in the JobManagerGWURIs parameter the list of backup gateways. Separate each gateway address with a comma.
  4. Start the dynamic agent to implement the changes by running the StartUpLwa command, as described in StartUpLwa - Start the agent.
  5. The list of backup gateways is immediately distributed to all dynamic agents that are connected to the primary gateway.
