You can now add servers to a cluster using a file and support more end users.

  1. On the active cache database, copy
    /opt/teradata/viewpoint/dcs/config/non.interactive.cluster.properties
    to
    /etc/opt/teradata/viewpoint/non.interactive.cluster.properties
  2. Change owner.
    chown viewpoint:viewpoint /etc/opt/teradata/viewpoint/non.interactive.cluster.properties
  3. Edit the file and provide the following:
    Property Description

    active.database.user User to connect to active viewpoint. For example: root
