Answer

Please make sure that both settings below are set to 240:

  ha.writer.inactivity.period.threshold 
  ha.writer.suggestion.period.threshold

How to validate this:

- Modify the new setting via support utilities:

   <OMi_HOME>/opr/support/opr-support-utils -set_setting -context bsm_ucmdb_sdk -set bsm.odb.ha.timeout <new value>

   for example :  opr-support-utils.bat -set_setting -context bsm_ucmdb_sdk -set bsm.odb.ha.timeout  240

 

- Start/Restart OMi on all systems

 

- check that the new value has been configured for the UCMDB global settings with the following procedure:

   Log in to OMi 

   In a separate tab on the same browser log in to UCMDB with http://<FQDN>:21212

   Select the UCMDB link. If credentials are needed to log in, fill in username = admin and password= <the configured admin password>

   Go to Administration > Infrastructure Settings Manager

   Look for the following settings in the list. They should have the updated values

     "High Availability Writer inactivity period threshold"

    "High Availability Writer suggestion period threshold
