In most cases, you will want to run a timetable from only the primary CMS server.
To run a timetable from only the primary CMS server:
Create a timetable on the primary CMS server.
Enter the timetable screen on the primary CMS server.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
At the bottom of the timetable screen you will see the following:
This timetable will run on this or another CMS server
< > Run only on this CMS server
<X> Run on this or another CMS server
The default is for the timetable to run on the primary or another CMS server. However, if you back up the timetable and restore it to the secondary CMS server with the default setting, the system will run the identical timetable on the secondary CMS server as well, causing duplication.
Change the setting to Run only on this CMS server.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
The select option will appear as:
This timetable will run on this or another CMS server
<X> Run only on this CMS server
< > Run on this or another CMS server
Back up the data on the primary CMS server by selecting the CMS system administration data option in the Maintenance:Backup data window.
On the secondary server, change CMS to single-user mode.
Restore the data onto the secondary CMS server using Maintenance Restore.
Change CMS back to multi-user mode on the secondary server.
On the secondary CMS server, display the timetable you created.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
At the bottom of the timetable screen you will see the following:
This timetable will not run on this CMS server
< > Run only on this CMS server
< > Run on this or another CMS server
Accept the default setting.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
As a result, a copy of the timetable exists on the secondary CMS server but the timetable will run only from the primary CMS server.
Note:
To run the timetable from the secondary CMS server, check either box.
Then press Enter to access the action list in the upper right corner of the window, select the Modify option and press Enter once again. The timetable runs on both the primary and secondary CMS servers.
