Manage Failover
Secondary Server Cont'd
Important: The secondary server will not synchronize with the primary server if (1) the
primary server is down, (2) there are active jobs still in the queue, or (3) any MFDs are
currently connected. Thus, it is important to never update server information while jobs
are in progress. This rule applies to on-demand or timer synchronization.
A. Secondary Server Status
•
Last Successful Synchronization
synchronization (sharing of system configuration and Plug-in data) between the
primary and secondary servers.
•
Last Attempted Synchronization
synchronization between the primary and secondary servers.
Note: If the secondary server is busy, i.e., jobs are in the queue, the server cannot complete
the synchronization. The date/time stamp of that last attempt is shown here.
•
Creation of Synchronization File
synchronization file containing system configuration and Plug -in data.
•
Synchronize Now
zation (sharing of system configuration and Plug-in data) between the
secondary and primary server.
Important: For manual synchronization to occur, the GlobalScan Data Service
Property must be configured within the Data Service Account, as outlined in
Appendix D: Change Failover/Data Service Property.
•
Override Max Attempt for Job Delivery
made on the primary server's System Parameters screen. For example, if you
encounter a configuration problem on the secondary server and jobs are stuck
in the queue (i.e., you see failed jobs on the Manage Jobs screen), make the
configuration changes, as needed, then increase the number to override the
default, thus enabling GlobalScan to process the jobs.
Note: The default setting is zero (0), which means the value remains the same as the primary
server.
•
Override Verbose Mode
in the System Parameters, e.g., you may want Verbose Mode enabled (on)
when in Failover mode, but remain disabled (off) during normal GlobalScan
operation. This allows for more indepth log data tracking/reporting during
Failover operation.
