Step 5: Program Start Sequence Fault-tolerant programs follow a typical start sequence: 1. Begin in the program’s inactive state. For example, set flags within the program that prevent the behavior of an active member. 2. Do set-up tasks that do not depend on Rendezvous software. 3. Open the Rendezvous environment. 4. Do set-up tasks that depend on Rendezvous software. (Requires the Rendezvous environment to be open.) 5. Create the fault tolerance member event. (Requires the Rendezvous environment to be open.)
