2537.0. "Office Server fault tolerant ?" by UTRTSC::SCHOLLAERT (Think before you shrink) Tue Feb 25 1997 07:05

    Hello,
    
    The "DRAFT DIGITAL Office Server Sales Update" states that OSVR
    will have the following feature:
    
    � New fault tolerant File Cabinet and Data Access Servers provide
    automatic failover for connected clients with saving of the users
    context
    
    Does this means transparent reconnecting clients when a
    server or network link disappears ?
    
    This sounds a great feature for large customers with unstable
    network who loose connections from TeamLinks to MailWorks
    without a traceable reason.
    
    I guess a higher version of TeamLinks is needed to make use
    of this feature.
    
    Thanks,

	>> Does this means transparent reconnecting clients when a >> server or network link disappears ? Yes it does ! I also means automatic reconnection to another node in your Office Server cluster if you're current server fails to restart. It might not require a new version of TeamLinks either, but it's a little too early to be making those sorts of promises. As you can probably gather, this hasn't been implemented yet ! -Kevin.

	It's more likely that it will require a new version of TeamLinks. However, the MAPI and Web clients should support it.
