Prevent Database Corruption During Failover Events

During failover, you can switch the database connection from the primary Enforce Server to the secondary Enforce Server.
Do not run Enforce Server instances simultaneously. Connecting both Enforce Server instances to the database can corrupt the database.
Prevent database corruption by completing the following procedure:
  1. Stop all DLP services on the primary Enforce Server.
    Set the startup type to
    Disabled
    to ensure that the services on the primary Enforce Server cannot start.
  2. On the secondary Enforce Server, update the
    jdbc.properties
    file to point to the Oracle database previously used by the primary Enforce Server.
  3. Start all DLP services on the secondary Enforce Server.
    You can set the startup type to
    Automatic
    to start the services automatically if the Enforce Server is rebooted.
