I have started Appian by start-suite.sh , checked the status using checkengine.s

Let's first fix the engines:

Using the proper user account:

1. Stop JBoss (all instances)
2. On server 2 (bpm104) navigate to <APPIAN_HOME>\\server\\_scripts\\
3. Create a copy of stop-suite.sh and call it stop-suite-localhost.sh
4. Open stop-suite-localhost.sh and change this line from:

$APPIAN_EXEC admin shutdown

to read:

$APPIAN_EXEC admin stop localhost

5. Execute this NEW script: stop-suite-localhost.sh
6. Access bpm104 and delete any writing*.kdb file under each gw2 directory <APPIAN_HOME>\\server\\*****\\gw2
7. On server 1 (bpm103) run the OUT OF THE BOX stop-suite.sh
8. Wait for the engines to stop and for the CPU usage to go down ~0%
9. Run:

ps -ef | grep /k

to make sure Appian processes are no longer running
10. Compare gw1 and gw2 directories. Make sure the highest numbered engine database file (*.kdb) is the same on BOTH.

**** Your reference should be GW1, this is the server that you should use to synchronize, therefore you need to check gw2 is basically in sync (the last engine database file *.kdb) with gw1
