Hi all - I have a client that I have done some work submitting SOAP requests to existing web services for utilization in their application. I have never had a problem before and submissions have been reliable until now. I have run into an issue with one particular web service where it is

Hi Baker UniVerse is being used in banking environments with required failovers. There are multiple solutions to fit with the structure of the software and how you plan to use it. I would talk to Rocket as they would be able to explain how to solve your specific requirements with the appropria

We run UV on a 2-node linux HA cluster. The backup instance of UV is a cold spare, though. Failover is automatic, and less than 2 minutes, but any active UV processes are terminated since UV is started fresh on the backup node. This may or may not cause a problem for you depending on how your ap

Baker, The A to B switchover on the Sequoias was manual and we did in fact do it after about 15 minutes. Only because it provided an excellent opportunity to do so. The Sequoia Field Engineer was on site with the new parts (it was one of the 2 power supplys for the drawer of Raid disks) withi

Jeff, Thank you for giving your experience with HA AIX and a cluster. We are also doing the HA but not clustering. The couple minutes time lag you mention and the possibility of broken transactions make one wonder if it's worth going that distance. I didn't know Stratus was still out there so

Glen, Thank you for the good observations, and suggestion to ping Ross, which I will do. It is the MV db paradigm which in this case is hampering us, which drives the solution to either the OS level or some middle ware solution. Pausing the db to flush memory is what keeps us just seconds from

We are running an IBM high availability cluster of AIX machines which do auto fail-over. There is a couple minutes of time lag involved and there can be broken transactions since the switchover is OS level and not applications based so this is probably not a good solution for you since it sound

In my former life, this was more of a matter of OS not so much database. If both the live and the backup server are Windows based, there are a few different products available in the market. I expect that there are a few Linux products for this. If it is AIX, Solaris, HP-Ux, etc, there are

Hey Stranger, The best way you'll get there is with a transaction/request based redundancy setup. Does U2 have anything that isn't trigger related? Even a block-level DRDB config won't help with databases since transactions in memory aren't committed to disk promptly enough for the replicator t
