Verifying an Active-Passive Installation for Failover
The following is a suggested process for verifying an active-passive installation for failover.
- In FME Workbench, open a blank workspace.
- Add a Creator transformer.
- Attach a Decelerator transformer. In the parameters dialog, set Delay Per Feature to 60 seconds.
- Publish the workspace to the FME Server installation you want to verify. On the Register Services page of the Publish to FME Server wizard, select Job Submitter, and click Publish.
- Log in to the FME Server Web User Interface.
- On the Home page, click Run Workspace.
- On the Run Workspace page, specify the Repository and Workspace. Beside Service, specify Job Submitter.
- Click Run Workspace.
- Without waiting for the workspace to complete, return to the workspace and run it four more times.
- On the machine hosting the active FME Server Core, stop the FME Server Core service.
- After several minutes, the secondary FME Server Core should become active and start processing jobs.
- Revert to the original state:
- Start the original FME Server Core service that was stopped.
- Stop the secondary FME Server Core service.
- Eventually, all five jobs should execute successfully. To verify, see the Completed table.
- After you verify, make sure to start the secondary FME Server Core service.
