Remove replication before updating the Web client

If your deployment uses replication, you must remove the replication before updating IXIA CCMS Web.

About this task

Some deployments of IXIA CCMS use replication for geographically distributed teams. It creates one or more copies of the Content Store, which are synchronized with the primary Content Store to provide read caching for the distributed teams.
Tip: Remove replications before upgrade, since replications can cause performance issues after the upgrade.

To remove replication before updating the Web client:

Procedure

  1. Stop the CCMS Web service:

    Platform

    Actions

    Windows
    1. On the IXIA CCMS Web Server, click Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools.
    2. Double-click Services.
      Note: By default, the service runs as a Local System account.
    3. In the resulting Service dialog, select the Tomcat CCMS service in the services list.
    4. Click Stop the service.

    Result: The Status column changes for the Tomcat CCMS service.

    Linux

    		 Use this command as root:
    systemctl stop [APP_NAME]

    Result: In the command, [APP_NAME] is the name you set for the CCMS Web service.
  2. Open the TEXTML Administration perspective and connect to the server.
  3. Right-click on the server and select Get Replication Statistics.
  4. Look for entries that have secondary server IDs that end in Web platform.
  5. Copy the replication IDs for those entries and paste them into a text editor or text file.
  6. Right-click on the Content Store and select Remove a Subscription.
  7. Paste a replication ID from the text editor or file into the field and click OK.
  8. Repeat for each replication ID.
  9. Right-click on the server and select Get Replication Statistics again.
    If the report still has secondary server IDs that end in Web platform, repeat the steps above until there are none.

What to do next

Once you remove all subscriptions, you can upgrade CCMS Web.
