Instructions to be performed when IP address of the Data Collector node (DCN) of an Hierarchical system is changed

The detection of the IP address of the DC node is automatic.
If the DC node contains multiple addresses, the primary one that is used by the IP stack for MAIN computer communication is used.

The post install script has to be run by activating it in DCN node

Activate the PostInstall script

"%app_root%\config\featureinstall\APP_TimedTask_HierarchicalCpmPlusKM_activate_after.bat"

Either run the above command in an admin command prompt or restart RTDB-Scheduler service from windows service manager.

After a while, the DatabaseNodes both in the DC and in the MAIN system should contain the updated IP address.

The diagnostic log file under

"%appdatapath%\diag\APP_PostInstall_HierarchicalCpmPlusKM*.log"

should contain an entry:

INFO: telling MAIN my new IP address "xxx", old was "xxx"

The Post install at the MAIN server side is activated automatically. It will use the new IP address information, and configures the ini-files related to the hierarchical communication and automatically restarts the corresponding services (TCC, VtrinLink, and Event Forwarder. Also the DC specific OPC servers that run in the MAIN computer are restarted, but
these are normally not included in the configuration).
