Reliability Features
Reliability in RTR is enhanced by the use of:
Concurrent servers
Standby servers
Shadow servers
Callout servers
Router failover
Servers
Note that, conceptually, servers can be contrasted as follows:
Concurrent servers handle similar transactions which access
the same data partition and run on the same node.
Shadow servers handle the same transactions and run on
different nodes.
Standby servers provide a node that can take over processing
on a data partition when the primary server or node fails.
Callout servers run on backends or routers and receive all
messages within a facility so that authentication and logging
operations can be performed in parallel.
All servers are further described in the earlier section on RTR
Terminology.
