HELP! Adding a new server to an existing server group
|

| Brian Chapman 2004-02-08, 8:38 am |
| Hey,
Does anyone have any documentation as to what needs to be done to add
a new server to an existing server group?
Here's a quick summary:
1. Currently a single BizTalk server group exists with only one
BizTalk server. This server handles many different integrations, etc,
that use receive functions and custom AICS.
2. I have a new server that I need to add to the group.
So...my partial list of question...do I need to re-create all the
messaging objects on the new server before adding it to the group?
Will the servers automatically sync when I add the new one to the
group? What about receive functions that poll for files on a local
drive?
Anyway, any help would be appreciated!!! Or if you know of any
documentation that discusses this, that would be great also!
Thanks, Brian

When installing the new BizTalk server, point it to the existing
databases - that is basically it.
About receive functions, you are right - some look for files in local
folders. When you create a receive function in a cluster, you must
specify which BizTalk server the receive function will run at. This
isn't a problem, however, since all a receive function does is put the
document into the work-wueue. From here, all BizTalk servers in the
cluster can take the document and process it.
Hope this helps.

| Hi Brian,
Jan is right... simply install the new Biztalk server and, during the
install process, point to the existing databases for messaging, queues, and
xlang schedules. Note, when you were setting up your receive functions, you
specified which biztalk server the receive functions would run on (you may
not have noticed the drop-down with the list of servers, since it only had
one value, but after you do this, it will have two values).
I hope this helps,
