I have set up a active passive architecture as per the guide

https://docs.safe.com/fme/2016.1/html/FME_Server_Documentation/Content/AdminGuide/Active-Passive-Basic-Architecture.htm

Everything on the system runs as expected - no problems for a couple of weeks since installation.

I then run a failover test as per the guide

http://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME_Server_Documentation/Content/AdminGuide/Test_for_Failover.htm

After that I can no longer access FME core even the the logs say it is running. I have checked everything but despite all my efforts, I cannot connect to the core via the web app server.

Has anyone had this problem? Can anyone provide some guidance on how to fix this please?

I just solved my own problem. I
reviewed all setup steps - particularly the configuration file
settings. I misread one word.

On this page
https://docs.safe.com/fme/2016.1/html/FME_Server_Documentation/Content/AdminGuide/Install_the_FME_Server_Services.htm

Under the heading Configure the FME Server Services for Failover it says

  1. Open
    each web application properties file located at:


<WebAppDir>\\<fmeServiceName>\\WEB-INF\\conf\\propertiesFile.properties

Initially I found one file and changed that. I didn't realize there were more!

I just did a search on files
with name propertiesFile.properties in the installation folder and found 9!

6 needed to be
updated. 1 had been updated and 2 did not have the setting.

I made the changes in ALL the files, restarted the service and everything was back to normal.

The failover test then succeeded.

What a relief. Big impact from a simple mistake.

Perhaps in Australia we are divided by a common language. I might have worded it "Open all web application property files located at". I might also have listed the possible <fmeSrviceName> folders to make it clearer.
