RDBMS Synchronization with a .CSV file

[dpatkins]

Good morning. I am trying to create a testable .csv file that I can import into our ACS on a prescheduled basis.

Here are my questions about this process:

1. Do I need to use the PASS_Expire action or is there a STOP_DATE? I have looked at the codes and didn't really see one.

2. Is there a way that I can extract a copy of the dump.txt or get my actual database exported to a different system?

3. What are the group's recommendations on synchronization? Are there some lesson's learned I should look out for?

Thanks

2. You can export your data into flat files via command line and then import on the next system the same way but I dont see why you would want to.

3. Use the internal replication if you're using the internal database.

If you're using external databases like sql or oracle this is a moot point, just do table dumps and import.

can you help me add vendor UDV and attributs to ACS.

I tried it it showing me UDV, but getting a error RDBMS report for one attribut.

when v3 is integer

Error: ACS 'ACS_A1' Action failed [SI=6 A=352 UN="" GN="" AI="" VN="Login-Service" V1="2011" V2="10" V3="integer"] Reason: UDV VSA error - User Defined Vendor/VSA operation failed (VSA name not unique)

when v3 is string

Error: ACS 'rdevid-4eafe3cf' Action failed [SI=6 A=352 UN="" GN="" AI="" VN="Login-Service" V1="2011" V2="7" V3="string"] Reason: UDV VSA error - User Defined Vendor/VSA operation failed (VSA name not unique)

actually i am doing it for H3c.dct  it is for 3com.
