Configuring Client Redundancy

Client redundancy in GENESIS allows front-end clients, such as GraphWorX, HTML5, or Data Explorer, to switch between FrameWorX connections, so that they have continuous access to data.

The clients download the FrameWorX Redundancy configuration and use it to initiate failovers if the active server becomes unavailable.

You can only set up client redundancy with direct FrameWorX connections because clients always connect to FrameWorX (not the other way round) and cannot use a reverse connection to a FrameWorX server.

To set up client redundancy, you need to select the Use as default Cluster for Standard Clients checkbox in the FrameWorX redundancy configuration. Learn more

You can verify the functioning of security context switching by configuring FrameWorX/Client Side Redundancy and enabling Security. Login and open GraphWorX, subscribe to ":ServerComputerName" in a process point and shut down the FrameWorX service on the server you are connected to. GraphWorX should switch automatically to the next node in the cluster and you would be signed under the same user and continue viewing your screen.
