Why Endpoint Server process starts automatically ?

khchoy — Wed, 02 Sep 2020 06:48:32 GMT

Hi ,

When I installed Replicate 6.6 , I found Endpoint server processes are running.

cdcadm 21019 20906 0 15:17 ? 00:00:00 /bin/bash ./rependctl.sh -d /home/QR/Qlik/DATA0/endpoint_srv/data -plugins rependsrv service host
cdcadm 21023 21019 12 15:17 ? 00:00:13 /home/QR/Qlik/attunity/replicate/endpoint_srv/bin/../../jre/bin/java -XX:+UseG1GC -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -cp /home/QR/Qlik/attunity/replicate/endpoint_srv/bin/../lib/attunity.infrastructure.jar:/home/QR/Qlik/attunity/replicate/endpoint_srv/bin/../lib/attunity-custom-endpoint.jar:/home/QR/Qlik/attunity/replicate/endpoint_srv/bin/../externals/*:/home/QR/Qlik/attunity/replicate/endpoint_srv/bin/../lib/* com.attunity.infrastructure.server.PluginServer -d /home/QR/Qlik/attunity/replicate/endpoint_srv/bin/../data -plugins rependsrv -d /home/QR/Qlik/DATA0/endpoint_srv/data -plugins rependsrv service host

In the User Guide , It starts automatically if an appropriate license is detected. But I do not need this at currently.

Also it make error when I install another instance. Because new instance tried to start another endpoint server with same port.

before version (v6.4) is not starts automatically this. (I found it changed v6.5).

If I want to stop endpoint server processes or want to change port how can I do ? I think All users do not need this.

Let's think it should only be able to get started with users who need it.

Hi KwangHo,

You are right. it's added from version 6.5.

You can disable it if you need not it. Below is the steps:

1. Make a backup copy of the repctl.cfg file to repctl.cfgBCK
2. modify the repctl.cfg file by addine a new line:

"disable_endpoint_server":true

to the end of the file.
3. Restart the service

Let me know if it works for you.

Regards,

John.

Hi KwangHo,

I'm sure the previous method works in 6.5 but not in 6.6. I create salesforce support case (#02053043) for you, will work with my internal team and back to you later.

BTW, before we got it solved you can kill the process manually as a workaround.

Regards,

John.

Hi John,

When I test QR , I do not need endpoint server still but NFR licence included it.

So I remove directory "endpoint_srv" before first starting.

I checked *.sh in endpoint_srv/bin but canton use for this issue.

I think this is problem when someone use multi replicate instance. I think endpoint server did not consider multi instance environment. If it is correct, automatic starting is not good choice.

I'll waiting good result.

Kwang ho

Hello KwangHo,

The issue has been acknowledged as a software defect and will be fixed in Replicate 7.1. The reason is that somehow The disable_endpoint_server configuration option was removed in 6.6, it will be restored in 7.1.

As a workaround, you can rename the jre/bin/java.exe to other name to prevent the java.exe from being called then it will not being startup.

Let me know if you need any further assistance.

thanks,

John.
