Failover Scheduling Engine Installation

Failover Scheduling Engine Installation

Here are the basic instructions for installing a JAMS Failover server:

Install the first Primary JAMS Scheduler.
If you want redundant databases, configure a SQL Server mirror of the JAMS Database.
Stop the JAMS Scheduler service on the Primary Engine.
Install the JAMS Scheduler on the second node; when prompted for the database server, specify the same SQL Server, Instance, and database name as the first server. You will receive a dialog that says “Database already exists.” Click “Use Database.”
Stop the JAMS Scheduler service on the second machine.
Create\Edit the Failover.config file in the X:\Program Files\MVPSI\JAMS\Scheduler directory.
Copy the Failover.config to both machines. Failover.config should be identical on both machines.
Start the JAMS Scheduler service on both machines.

Here is a sample Failover.config:

<FailoverConfig>
    <Primary>Server1</Primary>
    <Secondary>Server2</Secondary>
    <Port>4773</Port>
    <Interval>60</Interval>
</FailoverConfig>
