Arranging Fault-Tolerant Bridge Services

You can configure two or more bridge services for fault-tolerant operation. Although this feature ensures automatic and quick recovery, failover might leave some messages unforwarded.

Prerequisites

Fault-tolerant bridge services rely on the group facility to coordinate fault tolerance.

Procedure

  1. Configure bridge objects in the realm definition (see Transport Bridge Configuration).
  2. Configure two or more bridge services in separate FTL servers. Specify the bridges in the common section, or specify identical configuration parameters for each FTL server that provides the bridge service (see Bridge Service Configuration Parameters).

Result

The group facility automatically ensures that only one of the fault-tolerant bridge services is active at a time.
