Primary Failback Mode

In a highly available environment, primary failback mode defines how the primary scheduler resumes processing events after a failover. The shadow scheduler takes over processing events when the primary scheduler fails. To define how the primary scheduler resumes processing events, set the primary failback mode.

The following options are available:

Off

Specifies that the primary scheduler cannot restart while the shadow scheduler processes events. In this mode, you must stop the shadow scheduler and restart the primary scheduler.

Dormant

Specifies that the primary scheduler restarts but runs dormant until a failback occurs. This mode allows the user to initiate a manual failback.

Note: For more information about how to initiate a manual failback, see the Windows Implementation Guide.

Immediate

Specifies that the primary scheduler restarts but remains dormant until it detects activity from other schedulers for several poll intervals. Then, CA Workload Automation AE automatically re-enters high availability mode and the primary scheduler resumes processing events.

Note: When primary failback mode is set to Dormant or Immediate, the primary scheduler restarts while the shadow scheduler runs. When primary failback mode is set to Off, stop the shadow scheduler to restart the primary scheduler.
