Question by Pete B. · Feb 04, 2014 at 04:53 PM ·

Analysis Server Question for migration

I'm upgrading from dynaTrace version 5.0 to 5.6.  We have QA and production environments.  

We have a 'common' dynaTrace analysis server with both our QA and prod installation connecting to it. My plan is to disconnect the dtanalysis server from QA, leave production connected to it. We will not upgrade the analysis server nor connect QA to it until we do the production environment.  As we do very few memory snapshots from QA, this will not be a problem for the duration of the migration.  

From the 'Analysis Server Configuration' doc:  "Upon post-processing of a memory snapshot the dynaTrace Analysis Server is automatically used if it is reachable. If it is not reachable and you are not running a production installation, the snapshot is post-processed by the dynaTrace Server."

So what we want to do is make it 'unreachable', meaning remove the configuration from the 'Services' section of the QA configuration. Unfortunately, the server settings wouldn't let me just remove it. It requires something be there, so I changed it to a nonexistent host and port.  Is there any other way to do this?

Hi Pete,
clear answer: R&D says the (Memory) Analysis Server is NOT started, but is only used when it already runs.

The Windows Analysis Server service is also NOT set to auto-start at install time, as opposed to Server, Collector and Web Server (master) Agent services.

Special note: In 5.6 the Host Agent service that used to be auto-start is no longer even installed by default, because any started Agent takes its role on the machine.

Bottom line: You should be fine without warping ports,...

I will clarify this in the docs.
Cheers
G.
