You can set up a group of
ActiveTransfer Servers that share the same database to provide failover support for file transfers when one
ActiveTransfer Server node in the group goes down. An
ActiveTransfer Server group enables load balancing for incoming file transfer requests from clients. This setup, which is referred to as the
ActiveTransfer Server group, is independent of
Integration Server clustering. An
ActiveTransfer Server group does not make use of the capabilities of an
Integration Server cluster, except in the case of the
Integration Server scheduler used for scheduled events. For an illustration of a setup that includes an
ActiveTransfer Server group and a third-party load balancer, see
How does Failover for an
ActiveTransfer Server Work?.
