Issue/Introduction

I have a a multi OC setup and want to setup policy_management_ws for HA mode, or switching mode, so that regardless of OC that I am attached to the policies will be updated.

Environment

Release : 20.3.3+
Component: UIM - OPERATOR_CONSOLE

Resolution

This operation requires that policy_management_ws be at 0.27HF2  or higher. 

Instructions:

- raw configure wasp on the primary
- verify the following are set under webapps/adminconsoleapp/custom/uncrypted  (case sensitive entries)

ha_mode = HA
no_failed_attempts = 1
heartbeat_interval_min = 5

On each of the OC servers perform the following:

- raw configure wasp
- add the following key under webapps/policy_management_ws/custom/uncrypted

controller_url = http(s)://<system.domain_name>/adminconsoleapp/

Note: A valid certificate must be in place for the AC machine. If not it will fail. Try falling back this entry to http, or remove it completely to acquire the HA connection.

- delete the following key if it is present

webapps/policy_management_ws/custom/uncrypted/policy_processing

Once this is completed you should start to see the following in your policy_management.log on each OC:
