What's New
Pulse Collector now has an ability to run an embedded version of Genesys DB Server. When running an embedded DB Server, Pulse Collector does not require a separate Database (DB) Server instance in order to connect to the Pulse DB. You can enable an embedded DB Server in Pulse Collector using the following option:
[collector] Section
dbthread
Change takes effect: After restart
Valid values: yes, no
Default value: no
Enables or disables running of embedded DB Server in Pulse Collector internal thread.Software Requirements Changes
When running Embedded DB Server, Pulse Collector uses Genesys DB Clients which require the DBMS clients to be installed. Follow the instructions under the "DBMS Environment Settings" chapter of
Genesys DB Server User Guide
to install and configure those clients. Note that you probably already have necessary clients installed if all of the following is true:- You are upgrading Pulse Collector from an earlier release.
- You had the Genesys DB Server installed on the host with Pulse Collector.
- The Genesys DB Server and Pulse Collector are of the same architecture (32 or 64-bit).
Application Configuration Changes
If you are running Pulse Collector with Embedded DB Server after an upgrade from an earlier version, you can either perform all of the following steps to modify the configuration or just the first one and leave the configuration unchanged:
- Stop DB Server.
- Clear the
DB Server
field of Database Access Point application object used by Pulse Collector. - Uninstall DB Server and delete its application object.
You are not required to configure a separate DB Server application for new installations of Pulse Collector running an Embedded DB Server. The value of the
DB Server
field onGeneral
tab ofDatabase Access Point
application object that is used by Pulse Collector should be set toNone
.New Configuration Options
The embedded DB Server produces its own log messages. To control what goes to the log and where the log should be written add
log-db
section to Collector Application options and fill it with all the options that usually go to thelog
section of Genesys DB Server application. If there will be nolog-db
section specified in Collector Application options, the logging of embedded DB Server will be controlled by options found inlog
section except for the following:- The value for
verbose
option is set tostandard
. - The log is written to the file specified in
log
section, but with-db
suffix added.
