000034659 - How to remove an unnecessary scheduler from RSA Authentication Manager 7.1 SP4 on a Windows server

Long running txn detected

1. Login to the primary Authentication Manager server.
2. Launch the Windows services.msc.
3. Starting at the top of the list for the RSA Authentication Manager services, stop all RSA services.
4. When all of the services are stopped, reboot the server.
5. Wait for all RSA services to come back online, and make sure you can log onto both the Security Console and Operations Console.
6. Repeat steps 1 - 5 with each replica,  making sure to complete the steps on one replica before moving to the next.
7. Log in as a local administrator to the primary Authentication Manager server.
8. Open a command prompt and navigate to RSA_HOME\RSA Security\RSA Authentication Manager\utils.  By default, RSA_HOMEis be C:\Program Files.
9. Run the command rsautil manage-replication -a pause.  You will be prompted to enter the master password.
10. Download the IMS_UTILS_PKG.pck file from the RSA SFTP site.
11. Copy the file ims_utils_pkg.pck to C:\Temp.
12. Rename the existing IMS_UTILS_PKG.pck file in RSA_HOME\RSA Security\RSA Authentication Manager\utils.  If the file does not exist, then this is a good indication that you are not yet running SP4, although it is also possible that the older file has been deleted.
13. Move the new file from C:\Temp to ..\utils.  
14. Issue the following command (notice the requirement to confirm that you wish to execute SQL during the run of the command):

rsautil manage-data -U rep -a exec-sql -f IMS_UTILS_PKG.pck
Enter Master password: <enter master password>

15. Repeat steps 8 - 14 with each replica,  making sure to complete the steps on one replica before moving to the next.
16. From a command prompt on the primary, navigate to RSA_HOME\utils and issue the following command:

rsautil manage-replication -a resume

17. To ensure all resources are returned and there are no hung processes, it is recommended that the instance be rebooted following this procedure.

• This procedure should only be done if the device is at SP4. DO NOT do this on any previous versions! 
• For a similar solution under Unix, see  How to remove an unnecessary scheduler from RSA Authentication Manager 7.1 SP4 on Unix or RSA SecurID Appliance 3.0 SP4.
• Note: the fix is expected to be included in SP4 P5
