SFG Resiliency

There are 2 RFEs related.

This is the 2nd.

The first is SFG-I-325

 

Customer was processing a high volume of transactions via filegateway when their environment experienced a network issue.
Node 1 had its communication impacted with node 2. Communication was not unavailable, but extremely slow.
The network problem was that node 1 had its network latency between the server and any other end (switch, database and node 2) increased to above 5 seconds.

Focuses on why would any sort of problem with node 1 result in a crash of Node 2.

Node 2 had difficulty communicating with node 1. Node 2 had difficulty communicating with node 1 and the database, thus processing processing was impacted.

When there is a difficulty in communication between the nodes and/or when there is a significant increase in latency between the ends (nodes, database, etc.), the nodes must enter a treatment state so that if a node goes down, it does not impact the next one node.
Or, if the next node has difficulty communicating with the degrading node, go into "emergency" mode to reduce or nullify the impact on other nodes.

    Thank you for taking the time to provide your ideas to IBM. I truly value our relationship with you and appreciate your willingness to share details about your experience, your recommendations and ideas.

    I need a little more information to understand your idea:


    Expected behaviour for B2Bi/SFG is seamless failover when configured appropriately. If you are encountering a situation where it is not failing over when there are communication failures then we need additional information from logs to understand your specific scenario.


    Thank you for taking the time to provide your idea to IBM. Given the duration of time that has elapsed for this issue, would you please confirm if this idea remains relevant? It will be helpful to confirm with an updated description of the problem so that we have a clear picture of the request. We look forward to your response.
