• Set the core allocation for Kafka using redis-cli hmset ASN_KAFKA_CORE_COUNT <core_count> command.

• Set the core allocation for KPI using redis-cli hmset ASN_KPI_CORE_COUNT <core_count> command.

Switching Between Application and Subscriber Modes

ASN can operate in two modes: Application mode and Subscriber mode. When transitioning between these modes, follow the steps below carefully to ensure a clean restart.

Step 1: Stop Existing ASN Services

Run the following commands to stop all active ASN services:

sudo systemctl stop asn-core
sudo systemctl stop asn-mgmt
sudo systemctl stop asn-snmp-trap
sudo systemctl stop asn-rest-server

Step 2: Flush Redis Database

Clear the Redis database to remove any residual data before switching modes:

redis-cli "flushall"

Step 3: Reinstall ASN Server

Run the installation script to ensure the correct mode is set:

./install-asn-server.sh

Step 4: Start ASN in the Desired Mode

• To run ASN in Subscriber mode, execute:

  sudo ./run-asn.sh

• To run ASN in Application mode, execute:

  sudo ./run-asn.sh --mode=DC

After executing the respective command, ASN will initialize in the selected mode.

If any prerequisite or dependency is installed after completing the ASN installation, the following script must be re-executed:

$sudo ./run-asn.sh$
