In a case like MAM - Media Asset Orchestration, if the main node fails while the process is running what happens with that process?
Bruno,
When standby node becomes online, the process will still be running.
In case the process was busy executing script to initiate actions such as the conversion of a file, then the processing of that asset could fail.
It all depends on how the application has been implemented. There are definitely options to support recovery in such a situation.
Can you clarify more what you mean with "the process" ?
In general , when a DataMiner system has a failover event, it means the failover agent takes over and all important processes will now be handled by that new system. This means a process on the earlier active agent will now be stopped. This should not be a problem since data is synced with the failover system but edge cases could occur. Note not all DataMiner system processes are stopped on the failover agent when its marked as offline since it still needs to be able to sync and receive indication it should go online etc.
Hi Koen, by Process I’m referring to the execution of a process in Process Automation failing between two activities – https://docs.dataminer.services/user-guide/Standard_Apps/PA/PA_Concepts.html.
