| Citect Report Server redundancy operates
in a Primary/Standby configuration. When both Report Servers are
running, the scheduled reports only run on the Primary server. If
the Primary Report server fails, the Standby report server will run
the scheduled reports. (You can also configure the Standby Report
server so that is also runs the scheduled reports in parallel with
the Primary server.) No report data is transferred between the
Primary and Standby servers. It is up to users to synchronise any
data generated by report servers from one to another. Citect does
not synchronise the report data because reports can write their
data to any type of device.
You can only configure two Report servers in a Citect project,
the Primary server and Standby server. Citect Clients either talk
to the Primary or Standby Report server. On startup, they will try
to talk to the Primary. If the Primary is not running, they will
try the Standby. If the Primary comes back online, any Clients
talking to the Standby will stay talking to the Standby
server. |
