Reducing the Number of Code Databases on a Server

Appendix summary

If you have installed multiple workstations that have a separate copy of the code databases on a single server, you can set up your system to eliminate the redundant instances. Reducing the number of code databases on the server can make maintaining your system more efficient.

List of topics

This appendix contains the following topics:

• Configurations That Produce Multiple Instances of the Code Database

• Reducing the Number of Code Databases on a Server

Configurations That Produce Multiple Instances of the Code Database

Introduction

This topic describes configurations that produce multiple instances of the code database when they are installed on a single server.

List of configurations

The following configurations provide multiple copies of the code database when they are installed on a single server:

• A Super administrator workstation and a cluster

• An Administrator workstation and a cluster

• A Super administrator and a subordinate administrator workstation

• A combination of the above configurations

Reducing the Number of Code Databases on a Server

Introduction

This topic describes how to reduce the number of code databases on a single server.

Procedure: Reducing the number of code databases on a server

The following procedure explains how to reduce the number of code databases on a single server:

1. Decide which code database you want to use for all workstations on the server.

2. Edit the ofasyscf.cfg file associated with the shared database of each workstation or cluster so that the CODECFGPATH entry references that code database.

3. Delete the unused copies of the code database from the server, if you like.

   Note: You can retain the unused copies of the code database, but they will not be accessed when you use your Financial Analyzer system.
