Environment

Release:
Component: NQRPTA

Cause

There is no AnomalyDetector.ini file in x:\CA\NFA\DBUsers\.

Resolution

1. Open notebad on the NFA console server and paste these contents:

nsas.dbUser=nsas
nsas.dbPassword=nqnsas
nsas.dbPort=3308
nsas.dbName=nsas
nsas.dbHost=localhost
nsas.dbPooling=True
nsas.dbMaxPoolSize=20
nsas.dbCompress=false
nsas.dbCommandTimeout=90
nsas.dbRetryLostConnection=true

2. Save the file as "AnomalyDetector.ini" to the x:\CA\NFA\DBUsers\ directory.

3. Restart the CA NFA Host Resolver Service and the CA NFA Hunter Tracker Service.

4. Open a CMD prompt (as an administrator) and type: "IISRESET"
