Implementing Manager Fault Tolerance for Windows

The following figure illustrates how to activate manager fault tolerance. A unique command id is always required for manager fault tolerance.


The command is sent to a remote system, dallas, for execution. The output of the script is redirected back to the UCMD process. Additional command line options are read from the encrypted file, encrypted.file. Manager fault tolerance is turned on. A unique command ID, uniquejobname, is coded to identify the process.

Restart is detected automatically. If an executing or pending command ID exists, a reconnect is performed. If not, the process is started as if new.
