We have a setup at our firm using two instances of Whatsup that are syncronized with each other using a Perl script every few days. There is a Primary (called Data Center A) and a Secondary (called Data Center B). Both sites are hot and give us data on performance and availability from these two geographically diverse Data Centers.
There are about 10-15 engineers who regularly add/remove/change settings, alerts, services, etc. on the A site and these changes on all maps get pushed to the B site. However sometimes engineers can forget to "write map to disk" and if the service on A fails for whatever reason, the changes are lost on maps not synchronized to disk. Does someone from Ipswitch have any thoughts on the proper way to run an .asp script which iterates through the maps and writes each to disk. This would essentially be run via cron once a night. We could easily code up such a page, but I am worred that there might be some corruption if we tried doing all at once. Should we introduce a Jscript wait command between writes? Are there any concerns with writing 30-40 maps to disk with a script? Thanks in advance for the insight. -Jason Please visit http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html to be removed from this list.
