Environment

TCSA 2.4

Smarts 10.1.x

Cause

Customer does not use EDAA but have the following lines uncomment

OnChangePOST = "http://smarts-tomcat-host-A:8080/smarts-edaa/setBroker";
OnChangePOST = "http://smarts-tomcat-host-B:8080/smarts-edaa/setBroker";

Resolution

Since customer does not use EDAA, customer need to comment the following lines in the failover.conf file:

OnChangePOST = "http://smarts-tomcat-host-A:8080/smarts-edaa/setBroker";
OnChangePOST = "http://smarts-tomcat-host-B:8080/smarts-edaa/setBroker";

Then reload the configuration
