Redundant servers
FactoryTalk Batch
can be configured to store batch journals and batch restart information in two separate locations. If there is a hardware failure on the primary FactoryTalk Batch
Server computer, secondary server performs a manual failover. The second computer must be capable of running the server. Define redundant servers by specifying the primary and secondary restart path names. These path names indicate where system files are written to should the system experience a failure. If the secondary path name is not specified, FactoryTalk Batch
does not create secondary files.
TIP:
Archiver recovery
— The eventdir.txt
and the archque.txt
are not updated as secondary files. As part of the manual failover procedure, manually copy the files from the primary directory to the secondary directory.Install the area model file and all recipe files and, if using , all instruction files on both the primary server and the secondary server.
