# Managing Data Loading on Multiple Processing Servers

This feature allows administrators to manage data loading across multiple servers efficiently. The configuration distributes data loading tasks on different servers to optimize system performance and ensure reliable operation in multi-server environments.

# Requirements

Installed Open iT Core Server and duplicate of the Open iT Core Server that shares the same disk of the database
Administrator access to the Core Server machines
Data types configured on in the data_generation_config file on each server must not coincide

# Configuring Data Loading on Servers

Once the requirements are fulfilled, proceed to the instructions in the following section:

Changing the Data Loading Behavior of Servers

# Sample Scenario

There will be two Core Servers responsible for handling data loading. The first Core Server will manage all data types, while the second Core Server will exclusively handle freeze data types. The second Core Server will essentially be a duplicate of the first Core Server, and clients collecting freeze data will send their data to this server. This second Core Server will have its own incoming and archive folder directories while sharing the same database with the first Core Server.

Contact Open iT Support Team at support@openit.com for assistance creating a setup like this one.

On the first Core Server machine:

Turn off the processing of freeze data. In the Core Server web interface, go to Administration > Data Generation.
Uncheck all the checkbox under LicenseOptimizer reports (freeze).
Open the openit.cfg in the Configuration directory, which is by default in C:\Program Files\OpeniT\Core\Configuration.
Update the value of the SERVER_TYPE directive to PRIMARY. This will make this server unable to load freeze data types.
Save the changes.

On the second Core Server machine:

Turn of the processing of other data types and make sure only freeze data types are active. In the Core Server web interface, go to Administration > Data Generation.
Uncheck the other data types and make sure only LicenseOptimizer reports (freeze) data types are checked.
Open the openit.cfg in the Configuration directory, which is by default in C:\Program Files\OpeniT\Core\Configuration.
Update the value of the SERVER_TYPE directive to SECONDARY. This will make this server only load freeze data types.
Save the changes.

On the first Core Server machine:

Turn off the processing of freeze data. In the Core Server web interface, go to Administration > Data Generation.
Uncheck all the checkbox under LicenseOptimizer reports (freeze).
Open the openit.cfg in the openit directory, which is by default in /etc/opt/openit.
Update the value of the SERVER_TYPE directive to PRIMARY. This will make this server unable to load freeze data types.
