Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Data Management:
Database Administration

Failure and recovery action

The complexity of cluster operation mandates the need for default and automated recovery actions with respect to a group of resources for OpenEdge. A resource group is comprised of a resource and all of its dependencies. To determine how a group of resources should behave in a fail over condition, each resource has fail over policies.

A failover policy predefines the recovery action that the resource, or a resource group, should automatically follow when a fail over condition occurs.
