SCSP/DCS:SA Tomcat only servers and the registry key that makes them that way

Products

• Critical System Protection
• Data Center Security Server
• Data Center Security Server Advanced

Issue/Introduction

When you install DCS management servers then it will either be the Primary or a tomcat only install. The "tomcat only" install sets a registry key that stops the install from modifying the database.

If you intend to make a new server the primary, you will need to set it's tomcat only registry key to false or delete TomcatOnlyInstall registry key on this primary chosen server and then set the TomcatOnlyInstall registry key to TRUE on the other DCS managers.
