Specifying Alternate Tlinks for the Linux client

Last Updated : Aug 26, 2020 |

About this task

The Alternate Tlinks feature allows the TSAPI client library to select an alternate Tlink if the preferred Tlink is unavailable when trying to establish a session. To put this feature into effect, you must specify the alternate Tlinks in the TSAPI Configuration file. For a brief description of Tlinks, see TSAPI Links (Tlinks).

Important:

When multiple AE Services Servers are used as alternates, the CT User user id and password used by the application must be configured identically for each AE Services Server.

Use these steps to set up a list of alternate Tlinks in the tslib.ini file

Procedure

  1. Use your text editor to open the /usr/lib/tslibrc file for 32-bit client or /usr/lib64/tslibrc file for 64-bit client.
  2. Add a list of alternate Tlink entries, using the following format.

    Alternates(TLINK)=TLINK1:TLINK2:TLINK3:TLINK4

    where:

    • Alternates is the label for the first ordered list (you can have up to 16 lists)

    • (TLINK) is the name of the preferred Tlink, for example (AVAYA#Avaya Aura® Communication Manager1#CSTA#AESRV1). Be sure to enclose the preferred Tlink name in parentheses.

    • = The equal sign is a separator between the preferred Tlink, and the list of 1 to 4 alternate Tlinks. You must use the equal sign (=) to separate the preferred Tlink and the list of additional alternate Tlinks.

      TLINK1:TLINK2:TLINK3:TLINK4 is an ordered list of Tlink names that are used as alternates if the preferred Tlink is not available. Be sure to separate each Tlink name with a colon. You can specify from 1 to 4 Tlinks for each list of alternates.
