| The order of the Primary and Standby
server names under the [Client] section is important and should be
setup as per the online help.
The Client section tells a Citect client which server it should
connect to first. If it cannot find that server, it will try to
connect to the other server. However if a Citect is itself a
server, its local client will always connect to itself and ignore
the Client section. This is because whenever Citect tries to
connect to a server, it will connect to a local server if one is
available. This improves performance. Therefore if you have the
client section setup incorrectly, the local clients will still work
correctly.
However, the Client section is also used by servers to talk to
their redundant server. If the client section is incorrect, the
server will not be able to find the redundant server and some of
the redundant operations will fail. An example of this is that if
you acked an alarm on the Standby server, the same alarm would not
be acked on the Primary server. |
