Cold FailoverLocate this document in the navigation structure

Enable or disable cold failover for projects and set failover options.

A project fails when it does not run properly, or stops running properly. If cold failover is enabled, a failover occurs when a failed project switches to another server to continue processing. Failover typically results during a project restart, though a strong positive affinity to a node that is not available can prevent a project from restarting. Restarts can be limited based on failure intervals and restarts per interval. Failover options, accessed using an instance configuration, include:

Field Description
Failover Valid values are enabled or disabled. When disabled, project failover restarts are not permitted. When enabled, failure interval and failures per interval fields can be accessed.
Failures per interval Specifies the number of restarts the project can attempt within a given interval. This count resets to zero if you restart the project manually, or if failures are dropped from the list because they are older than the size of the interval.
Failure interval (Optional) Specifies the time, in seconds, of an interval. If unspecified, the interval time is infinite.
