About redundancy

Redundancy helps balance job processing and increases availability should one installation fail.
Important: Redundancy does not provide failover capability or other high-availability capabilities. It simply increases job-processing capacity. If one of the redundant installations fails, all executing jobs managed by that installation are lost, but the remaining installations continue to process their executing jobs and accept new jobs.

When users start jobs, entries for the job are made in the database. The process engine polls the database to see whether there are new jobs. When there are multiple process engines, load balancing occurs naturally because each engine polls independently during its non-busy cycles.

When you set up redundancy, you perform a normal installation of the management console, and then install the management console on additional hosts. All of the installations are configured to access the same Build Forge database.
Important: Every installation must be installed on its own host. You cannot install multiple management consoles on the same host.
