Diagnostics .
PCS 7 features advanced self-diagnostics for redundant software systems (servers). If this
diagnostics routine detects an internal fault, and in the event that the redundant partner server
is fully functioning, all communication connections on the server affected by the fault are
disconnected (terminal and system bus).
The affected server is then restarted automatically.

Note
Before a PCS 7 server application is exited, an availability check is carried out on the
relevant redundant partner server. If the partner server is not fully functional, the user is
informed of this status and can proceed accordingly.
The availability check is only carried out in service mode if a user is logged on.
