SQL Server Always On

iProcess Engine now supports Always On feature for SQL Server. This fail-over mechanism enables iProcess Engine to automatically connect to a secondary database server in case the primary database server fails. For more information about SQL Server Always On, see Always On Availability Groups in SQL Server 2017 documentation.

To use this feature for iProcess Engine, perform the following steps to clone database login information for iProcess Engine from the primary database server to a secondary database server.

Then, enter the login name that you want to clone to the secondary server.

4.

Then, enter the secondary server IP. A Windows PowerShell credential request dialog box will be displayed.

5.

Note	For this feature to work correctly, you must clone both the foreground and the background users.

Note	If you have multiple secondary servers, you must clone login information to each secondary server separately.
