Unsupported Fault-Tolerance Configurations
This configuration is not supported because:
- Clients connecting to the Web Application Server may be unable to choose the proper one.
- After a failover, the FME Server Web User Interface cannot be used to submit jobs, because the service URL patterns (stored in the FME Server Database) point to the Web Application Server on the pre-failover machine.
This configuration is not supported because:
- The failover Core is unaware of workspaces published to the primary Core.
- The failover Core is unable to resume processing the job queue.
Any component that is not fault tolerant represents a single point of potential failure in the system. If that component fails, the system fails. Any system with a single point of failure is not fault tolerant.
No. There are measures you can take to optimize an express installation, or you can configure an Active-Active Architecture. But to configure Active-Passive Architecture, you must perform an upgrade. After you backup your configuration and uninstall, install an FME Server for active-passive failover. Following installation, restore your previous configuration.
