Environment

Autosys 12.x
EEM 12.x
Windows.

Cause

The configurations for multi-write were not correct and needed to be manually reset.

Resolution

To reset the CA Directory configuration files back to non-multi-write mode.

In the following locations:
   <SharedComponents>\CADirectory\dxserver\config\knowledge
1) Delete any files with the following format:
(there may be multiple files with different hostnames. They all need to be deleted)
     <hostname1>.<domain>.com.dxc
     <hostname2>.<domain>.com.dxc


2) edit the itechpoz.dxc file
(Change this file to point to the local FQDN of the EEM server)
#
# eiam repository
#
set dsa "itechpoz" =
{
prefix       = <cn iTechPoz>
dsa-name     = <cn iTechPoz><cn PozDsa><cn "<hostname>.<domain>.com">
dsa-password = "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"
#for failover configuration
address      = ipv4 "<hostname>.<domain>.com" port 509
snmp-port    = 509
#for dxconsole debugging. info: make sure that the port is not used
#console-port = 10510
auth-levels  = clear-password
dsp-idle-time = 120
#for failover configuration
dsa-flags   = multi-write
link-flags   = ssl-encryption-remote
};

3) edit the itechpoz.dxg file
(Remove any other source but the first one: source "itechpoz.dxc";)
change from:
#
# iTechPoz group configuration
#
#
# Source the knowledge file of the iTechPoz DSA 
#
source "itechpoz.dxc";
source "itechpoz-<hostname>.<Domain>.com.dxc";

To:
#
# iTechPoz group configuration
#
#
# Source the knowledge file of the iTechPoz DSA 
#
source "itechpoz.dxc";

In the following locations:
   <SharedComponents>\CADirectory\dxserver\config\server\

4) edit the server.xml file
in the hosts, section make sure the is only one host listed and it is pointing to the local FWDN
    <hosts primary="<hostname>.<Domain>.com.">
        <host id="<hostname>.<Domain>.com.">
            <dsaurl><hostname>.<Domain>.com.:509</dsaurl>
        </host>
    </hosts>


5) move the <SharedComponents>\CA\Directory\dxserver\data\*.tx file to the temp directory

Then start the dx server service and the iGateway services
Make sure you can login as needed

If needed set up multi write again
