If the PowerCenter Repository Service process fails, the Service Manager can restart the process on the same node. If the node is not available, the PowerCenter Repository Service process fails over to the backup node.
The PowerCenter Repository Service process fails over to a backup node in the following situations:
The PowerCenter Repository Service process fails and the primary node is not available.
The PowerCenter Repository Service process is running on a node that fails.
You disable the PowerCenter Repository Service process.
After failover, PowerCenter Repository Service clients synchronize and connect to the PowerCenter Repository Service process without loss of service.
You can disable a PowerCenter Repository Service process to shut down a node for maintenance. If you disable a PowerCenter Repository Service process in complete or abort mode, the PowerCenter Repository Service process fails over to another node.
