High availability refers to the uninterrupted availability of the RulePoint setup. A RulePoint setup configured with high availability eliminates a single point of failure and provides minimal service interruption in the event of failure. When you configure high availability, the RulePoint setup can continue to run despite temporary failures.
The RulePoint run-time architecture offers high-availability designs to improve performance. The following components make services highly available in a RulePoint setup:
Resilience. The RulePoint run-time environment can tolerate temporary connection failures until either the resilience timeout expires or the failure is fixed.
Restart and failover. When the primary instance of a service becomes unavailable, the service can failover and restart on a backup instance.
Recovery. Operations can complete after a service is interrupted. After a service process restarts or fails over, it restores the service state and the run-time operations.
