Sharing the location where Unica Platform is installed

Use this procedure to share the Unica Platform installation location on all nodes of the cluster.

Before you begin

To share the location, you must install Unica Platform on a shared drive that is accessible from all nodes.

Procedure

  1. In the WebSphere administration console, add the -DPLATFORM_LOG4J_PROPERTIES_FILE Java parameter in each node.

    For example: -DPLATFORM_LOG4J_PROPERTIES_FILE=log4j_node1.properties

    where log4j_node1.properties is a copy of the log4j.properties file.

    Note: If XML logging is configured, then in the WebSphere administration console, add the -DPLATFORM_LOG4J_XML_FILE Java parameter in each node.

    For example: -DPLATFORM_LOG4J_XML_FILE=log4j_node1.xml where log4j_node1.xml is a copy of the log4j.xml file.

  2. Use the following command to set the log file name in each node. Ensure that the log file names are different so that it is easy to identify the file that is generated from each node.

    In the WebSphere administration console, add -Dlog4j.appender.System.File=Log_File_Name

    For example: -Dlog4j.appender.System.File=platform_node1.log.

    Note: This property can be used in case of XML logging or properties file logging.
  3. Restart the cluster.

    All the log files are created in the Platform/logs directory under your Unica Platform installation.
