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. 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 the Integration Server clustering and 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. An illustration of a setup with an ActiveTransfer Server group and a third party load balancer is provided in the previous section.
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
