Chapter 8 System Configuration: Advanced<br />

Invoking RDBMS Synchronization<br />

OL-14386-02<br />

To invoke RDBMS Synchronization:<br />

RDBMS Synchronization<br />

Note Enter net stop csdbsync and a net start csdbsync be<strong>for</strong>e you run csdbsync -syncnow or cydbsync -run.<br />

Use the accountActions.CSV file and then run the csdbsync -syncnow command. This method is<br />

applicable <strong>for</strong> Windows and the SE versions of ACS.<br />

Configuring RDBMS <strong>for</strong> the ACS SE<br />

To configure RDBMS Synchronization <strong>for</strong> the SE:<br />

Step 1 Connect to the ACS SE via the SSH client, to invoke the csdbsync -syncnow command.<br />

Use the scriptable interface that the SSH service supports, that is added to the ACS SE.<br />

Step 2 Check the connectivity between the SSH client and the SSH server.<br />

Step 3 Find the location of the accountActions.csv file on the FTP server.<br />

The ACS SE requires the accountActions.csv file to invoke RDBMS synchronization.<br />

Step 4 Check the connectivity between the ACS SE and the FTP server and be certain that you have write<br />

permissions to the FTP server directory.<br />

ACS gets the CSV file from the FTP server and automatically creates the DSN. The uploaded CSV files<br />

should be in a valid <strong>for</strong>mat and the values in the CSV file <strong>for</strong> RDBMS Synchronization must be valid.<br />

Step 5 Run the csdbsync -syncnow command to invoke RDBMS Synchronization.<br />

This command operates identically to the CSDBSync command without stopping or starting the<br />

RDBMS Synchronization command.<br />

ACS SE fetches the CSV file from the database, reads the action codes in the file, and per<strong>for</strong>ms the<br />

RDBMS Sycnchronization operations specified in the file. For more in<strong>for</strong>mation on the steps to per<strong>for</strong>m<br />

the RDBMS Synchronization, see Per<strong>for</strong>ming RDBMS Synchronization, page 8-35<br />

Configuring <strong>for</strong> RDBMS Synchronization <strong>for</strong> ACS <strong>for</strong> Windows<br />

To configure RDBMS Synchronization <strong>for</strong> ACS <strong>for</strong> Windows:<br />

Note Enter net stop csdbsync and a net start csdbsync be<strong>for</strong>e you run csdbsync -syncnow or cydbsync -run.<br />

Step 1 In Windows, use the command line interface to invoke the csdbsync -run or csdbsync -syncnow<br />

command, if you do not use the Synchronize Now option.<br />

Note The invocation of RDBMS Synchronization is slightly different when compared to the ACS SE<br />

because you must manually create the DNS.<br />

Step 2 Create a DSN to per<strong>for</strong>m the RDBMS Synchronization with one of two methods:<br />
