Failover Behavior of HA Servers

System Failover
The length of an outage will depend on several factors.

Failover and Data Recovery in the Caches
If/when a cache server becomes unavailable, the web application nodes will continue indefinitely to attempt to communicate with the cache server until it is brought back online.

Failover and Data Recovery in the Activity Engine
Understand how the Activity Engine handles activity ingress, egress, and failures.

Failover and Data Recovery in the Document Conversion Service
If your Document Conversion server fails, you only lose the ability to convert new documents.

Failover and Data Recovery in Storage
Any Jive deployment beyond a simple pilot or proof-of-concept must use file system storage, where each web application node reads and writes from a shared disk system via NFS.

Failover and Data Recovery in the Core Database
Understand how you can prepare for disaster recovery with the Jive Core database.

Failover and Data Recovery in the Analytics Database
The Analytics database connection string, user name, and password are stored in a table in the core application database in an encrypted format (not in an XML file). In the event of a failure, you want to be sure the web app nodes are calling the correct Analytics database server.

Failover and Data Recovery in the Search Service
In the case of a failure, your ingress replicator(s) or search service nodes may be unreachable. This topic describes what happens during an outage.
