Overview

Distributed applications are comprised of many independent components running on host systems, throughout the enterprise, connected with a data network. Many of the host systems are in different physical locations, in different organization groups, and have different system management policies. It can be difficult to schedule individual host downtime when there are so many overlapping requirements.

Host systems must be shut down at scheduled intervals and, unfortunately, at unscheduled intervals. The impact of a system being down must be minimized by a distributed application.

With the Manager Fault Tolerant feature, Universal Command components (Managers and Servers) can be shut down and restarted at a later time. After a Manager has been started, it can be terminated and restarted at a later time. It can be shut down for any period of time: seconds, days, or even months.
