iIS Process Engine Components

engine database is not supplied by the iIS product and must be set up independently; however, the engine unit can create all required database tables at startup time. The iIS process engine supports all relational database systems supported by iPlanet UDS (for example, Sybase, Oracle, Informix, and so on).

Failover Configuration

To provide for failover in case the engine unit fails (for whatever reason), a backup engine unit and governor are added to the iIS process engine configuration, as illustrated in Figure 1-3.

Backup Engine Unit The backup engine unit, a replicate of the engine unit partition, has a unique name that distinguishes it from the primary engine unit. The primary and backup engine units are partners. The backup engine unit runs in a standby state when the primary engine unit is on line. The two partners know about each other through an open communication channel. If the primary engine unit fails, the backup engine unit comes on line. In that case, the database service
