# Fault Tolerance Callback Actions

Fault tolerance callback functions receive an `action` argument—one of three tokens, which instruct the callback function to behave in one of three ways:

| • | `ACTIVATE`

This action token instructs the callback function to switch the member process into active mode.

| • | `DEACTIVATE`

This action token instructs the callback function to switch the member process into inactive mode.

| • | `PREPARE_TO_ACTIVATE`

This action token is a hint that Rendezvous fault tolerance software might soon issue an instruction to activate. It instructs the callback function to prepare for possible activation by doing any time-consuming steps that can be done before the actual order to activate.

Remember that the prepare-to-activate hint is exactly that—a hint. Several circumstances might later render activation unnecessary.

The names of the tokens vary slightly among the different programming languages.

Fault Tolerance Actions

C | `tibrvftAction`
C++ | `tibrvftAction`
Java | Tokens are defined as constant fields of `TibrvFtMember`.
.NET | `ActionToken` enumerates the tokens.
