Understanding the Central Configuration Server
105
Depending on the number of Interplay Engines that are installed, several CCS configurations are
possible:
• One Interplay Engine: Configure this server as the CCS.
• Several Interplay Engines: Usually you configure only one Interplay Engine as the CCS. The
use of more than one CCS in a company might be useful if there are several independent
domains, departments, or sites where there is no need to share users or other settings in
Interplay. In the case where several sites are located in different locations, having one CCS
for each site could be practical.
c
Starting with Interplay V3.0, a CCS that is created on an Interplay V3.0 Engine does not
support Interplay Engines earlier than v3.0. A CCS on an Interplay Engine earlier than
v3.0 supports an Interplay V3.0 Engine.
If necessary, you can use the Central Configuration Server view to change the CCS that you set
during the Interplay Engine installation.
c
Do not reset the CCS unless there is real need to do so, such as a space issue. All the
information that was stored on the old CCS, including users and local administration
settings, is lost when the CCS is changed to another server unless you first move the
_InternalData folder to the server that will be used as the new CCS. If you do not or cannot
move the _InternalData folder to the new CCS, and you set the new CCS for the database,
you must migrate the database through the Manage Databases view. In this case, all
previous CCS-related information will be lost.
The following procedures describe how to change the CCS:
•
“Moving the CCS to Another Server” on page 105
• “Viewing and Changing the CCS for a Server” on page 107.
Specifying an incorrect CCS can prevent login. See
“Troubleshooting Login Problems” on
page 226
.
Moving the CCS to Another Server
c
Before beginning the following procedure, be sure to make a backup of the database. See
“Creating and Restoring Database Backups” on page 29 for information on running a
backup. You can use the Start Backup Now feature to start a backup immediately.
