This section describes how to configure the first processing node of a new Gateway configuration.
If your Gateway is connecting to a remote database, the user must be granted permission to be accessed from different IP locations. The following command achieves this:
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON . TO 'root'@'x.x.x.x' identified by '********' WITH GRANT OPTION; GRANT PROXY ON ''@'' TO 'root'@'x.x.x.x' identified by '********' WITH GRANT OPTION;
Depending on how your environment is set up, you may not be using
root
 access to MySQL. Consult with your database administrator on how to adjust the command accordingly.
Appliance Gateways
Configuring the first node of the cluster creates and initializes the database on both database nodes and establishes basic configuration of the Gateway cluster.
Prerequisites:
  • Ensure that database replication has been correctly configured before configuring the first processing node. If the first node is configured before replication is set up, see the recovery steps in Configuring Cluster Database Replication. 
If you completed a Cluster Configuration Worksheet, use the values from that worksheet.
To configure the first Gateway processing node:
  1. Log into the the first Gateway node as
    ssgconfig
    . 
  2. Select option
    2
     (Display Gateway configuration menu). 
  3. Select option
    2
     (Create a new Gateway database). The database configurator starts. Refer to Gateway Configuration Menu (Appliance) for instructions on completing this configurator.
Once this initial node is configured, follow the next section to add subsequent processing node.
Software Gateways
Configuring the first node of the cluster will create and initialize the database on both processing nodes and establish basic configuration of the Gateway cluster.
If you completed a Cluster Configuration Worksheet, use the values from that worksheet.
To configure the first Gateway processing node:
  1. Be sure the Gateway package has been installed for the first processing node. For more information, see Install the Gateway (Software).
  2. Start the Gateway main menu. For more information, see Gateway Main Menu (Software).
  3. Select option
    2
     (Configure the Gateway) to start the configurator.
  4. Complete the configurator using the instructions under "Gateway Currently Unconfigured"  in Configure the Gateway Application (Software).
    If you are prompted to continue without a license, enter 
    Y
    . The license will be added later using the Policy Manager.
Once this initial node is configured, you can configure the subsequent processing nodes.
