Changes to setBackend() API

Before CA EEM r8.4 SP3, the CA EEM SDK had to attach at least once to the primary server to retrieve a list of failover servers. If the primary server is down before the first attach, the CA EEM SDK does not retrieve the failover server list from the primary server. In CA EEM r8.4 SP3, you can set a list of failover servers in the CA EEM SDK using the setBackend() API. So, if the primary server is down before the first attach, the CA EEM SDK uses the list of hostnames provided using the setBackend() method and connects to the secondary server.

Note: This API is not valid for the CA EEM C# SDK. For more information about the setBackend() API, see the Programming Guide with SDK Documentation.
