Resolution

This article explains how to subscribe a Smarts Server Manager (ESM server) to a Smarts IP AM/PM domain. To configure the Smarts Server Manager (formerly ESM) software to connect to a Smarts IP AM/PM domain, do the following: 

1. From the command line, change (cd) to the following directory on the Smarts Server Manager host
   
    <base dir>/ESM/smarts/bin
   
    
2. Open the ESM.conf file for editing using sm_edit by executing the following command:
   
   ./sm_edit conf/esm/ESM.conf
   
    
3. Find the following entry in the the ESM.conf file:
   
   InChargeDomain::InChargeDomain_INCHARGE-AM-PM{
       Type = "AM"
       DomainName = "INCHARGE-AM-PM"
       DisplayName = "INCHARGE-AM-PM"
}
   
    
4. To configure the Smarts Server Manager to subscribe to a Smarts IP domain, change the above entry to the following:
   
   InChargeDomain::InChargeDomain_<InCharge IP Domain Name>{
       Type = "AM"
       DomainName = "<InCharge IP Domain Name>"
       DisplayName = "<InCharge IP Domain Name>"
}
   
    

5. Save the changes and exit the editor. 

6. Restart the Smarts Server Manager domain. After the Smarts Server Manager domain restarts, the Smarts Server Manager domain should be subscribed to the Smarts IP domain.

Additional Information

A typical load line for the above example could be the following:

./sm_server --name=INCHARGE-ESM --config=esm --subscribe=default --output --ignore-restore-errors --daemon
