Job Scheduling in Cluster Environment

In a clustered environment, a job can be configured on the primary as well as backup server.

• Primary Server: when a job is configured on a primary server, the job is executed only on the primary server. If the primary server goes down, the backup server never executes the job.
• Backup Server: when a job is configured on the primary and backup servers, the job is initiated on both the servers; however only one job is executed. If any one of the servers goes down, other server picks up the job.
  Note: If you want run the job on the backup server, navigate to Edit > Run on the Edit Job screen. Specify the backup server details on the Run Job window, and click Yes to run the job. The same job which was defined on the primary server is executed on the backup server. For more information, refer to Running a Job.
