Question

How understand if servers are in HA

Hi,

I have the need to understand if Appian servers of the customer are already in HA.

Is it enough to look at the file appian-topology.xml?

Thanks

When following the documentation, that's the case.

Hi David and Stefan, I try to better explain my strange question.

I have a black box with inside 3 Appian servers working and the file appian-topology.xml related to that installation.

The appian-topology.xml is similar to the one in documentation

(docs.appian.com/.../How_to_Set_Up_High_Availability_Installations.html


Can I say that Appian is working definitely in HA?

Hi Gabriele,

No, HA is configured for  disturbuted systems in order make mirror replica of parent environment, and maintain zero down time or less downtime of server. Topology indication list of engines or engines pair configured for server setup which concentrates more on server performance and other activities like load balancing.
