Description

Description:
The users guide fort Tibco Silver Fabric Enabler for AMX BPM has an incorrect procedure for enabling failover for the bpm component.

Resolution

To enabler failover for BPM Components you must do the following:

1) Make sure there are multiple engines that can run your AMX BPM Server component, and that it has a strong resource preference for them.
2) Make sure that each of the engines has common share directory with the exact same structure in each engines file system
4) Provide the common share to the component as BPMs config directory. It's vital that the the directory structure will be identical across all engines, and cross-OS functionality is not provided.
5) Make sure "Deployment Persistence" is enabled the BPM Component.

If these steps are taken, failover is automatically provided. If the BPM Enabler detects a bad state, it will automatically shut down and restart on a new engine.
