Adding a custom application to Resiliency Platform

By default, Resiliency Platform discovers Microsoft SQL Server (MSSQL) and Oracle applications. In certain circumstances, however, some Oracle applications may not be discovered. In addition, you may want to add other applications to Resiliency Platform. To manage and protect applications that are not discovered by default, you need to add them using the Add Custom Application wizard.

Note:

Adding custom applications using Microsoft Failover Cluster nodes is not recommended and not supported.

To add a custom application to Resiliency Platform

  1. Prerequisites

    Do the following:

    • Create a script to start, stop, and monitor the application. Resiliency Platform interacts with the application using these scripts. The scripts should reside on the same host as the application.

    • Note the directory path to each script.

    • Determine the user who should the script. Often, this is the admin user or root user. Note the password of this user.

    • Identify which data directory paths the application uses.

    • Ensure that the host where the application resides is added to the Infrastructure Management Server (IMS).

      See Veritas Resiliency Platform Deployment Guide.

  2. Navigate

    Assets > Unmanaged tab
  3. On the Unmanaged tab, use the Asset Type drop-down list to select Application.
  4. Click Add Custom Application
  5. On the Type and Host Selection page, do the following:

    • On the Application Type drop-list, select Custom Application.

    • On the Data Center drop-list, select the data center in which the application's host system resides.

    • In the host name list, use the check box to select the host.

    • Click Next.

  6. On the Application Inputs page, do the following:

    • Verify that you select the correct data center and host.

    • Use the information you collected in step 1 to complete the form.

    • Specify the instance name.

  7. Click Submit.

Note:

After adding a custom application successfully, you cannot edit the information. If you enter any application parameters incorrectly or later the application information changes, you must delete the application and add it again with the correct information.

After you add a custom application, you organize it with other applications into a resiliency group.
