Hi,

When failing over from 1 agent to another do the hosted elements behave as if they were restarted? Or do the process (SLScripting, SLProtocol) transfer some data to the other agent?

Thanks in advance

Hi Timothy,

The elements will be stopped on the agent that goes offline.
Once that has finished, the elements will be started on the agent that goes online.

There is no transfer of data kept in memory between the active and standby agent. All data is loaded from the database during the element startup.
