ActiveTransfer Server Group
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?.
The ActiveTransfer Server group provides the following capabilities:
*Failover support for file transactions
*Session replication of ActiveTransfer client sessions using local cache
*Load balancing
The following information is stored in the database and shared between the ActiveTransfer Server nodes in a group:
*User details
*User authentication details (CDS database)
*Virtual folder definitions
*Post-processing and scheduled event configurations
*Server port details
*Transaction details
