Error Connecting Docbase on Secondary Docbroker using Docbasic and API

Amit.Sabbarwar

Hi,
I am having multiple Docbroker entries in dmcl.ini file. 1 Entry is  primary and other are secondary. When I try connecting Docbase using (Docbasic  and API) from Primary Docbroker it connects without any issue. But If I  try connecting any docbase from secondary Docbroker entry I am facing a  issue.

I am connecting using following 2 statements:

strCommand = "connect," + strDocbase + "," + strUserName + "," +  strPassword

strSession = dmAPIGet(strCommand)

Error I get:

4/30/2010 2:25:51 AM - [DM_DOCBROKER_E_NO_SERVERS_FOR_DOCBASE]error:   "The DocBroker running on host (abcdoc012) does not know of a server for  the specified docbase (doctst)"

[DM_DOCBROKER_E_REQUEST_FAILED_E]error:  "The Docbroker request failed."

Other Applications like Samson, Repoint can connect to all Docbases from  any docbroker. Am I missing something? Is there any way to connect docbase from secondary Docbroker through Docbasic/API?

Thanks in Advance.

You need to update following attributes of apiconfig object at runtime:

primary_protocol : rpc_static
primary_host : testdocbroker.xyz.com
primary_port : 1489
primary_service : testdocbroker
primary_timeout : 0

master_broker is your docbroker host

//Repeat this for above four attributes
cmd = "set,apisession,apiconfig,primary_host"
status = dmAPISet(cmd, master_broker)

//This statement is to refresh the apiconfig object
cmd = "getservermap,apisession," + master_docbase
junk$ = dmAPIGet(cmd)

After this execute your connect API command. It should work fine.
