4 -eMagiz flows, or more specifically, the flow's inbound component(s), can be grouped. The effect is that you can later in [[Deploy>>doc:Main.eMagiz Academy.Microlearnings.Intermediate Level.Grouping and Failover.intermediate-grouping-and-failover-flow-configuration.WebHome||target="blank"]], control them as one entity. This is mainly beneficial when faced with substantial maintenance or outage of systems connected to your eMagiz model.

6 -Building on this functionality, you can even configure the group to run in an active/passive failover mode when you activate the multiple runtimes option on your runtime, and each separate runtime is deployed on another machine. The failover functionality is not only relevant in cases of server maintenance. It can also assist you when you want to exchange data with a system that allows only one active connection. Should this connection be business-critical, you can use this failover functionality to create a passive failover situation that will take over when the active connection breaks down (regardless of the reason).
3 +eMagiz runtimes can run on local, on-premises servers. Main reason is that some systems are only accessible from within the client's infrastructure. In such scenario's that on-premises server needs to be equipped with a linux based Docker installation.

8 -In this microlearning, we will focus on configuring the flow to group various inbound components and configure the flow (including the infra) if you want to activate the active/passive failover configuration.

18 -This microlearning describes how to configure (parts of) your flow(s) to set up the grouping and, if needed, the failover functionality on the flow level. The grouping functionality is relevant when faced with maintenance and outages of systems connected to your model. The failover functionality not only assists in that case but also allows you to have a fallback option on an active connection.
13 +This microlearning describes how the eMagiz Deploy agent is installed on the on-premises server where a eMagiz runtime should run on. Please note that the eMagiz Deploy agent requires a valid Docker installation on the on-premises server. The detailed install guide can be found on

24 -To configure grouping, we need to open the flow designer of the flow in Create. We want to edit and enter "Start Editing" mode. On the inbound component(s) in the flow, we now have an "Advanced" tab that allows you to configure the grouping information.

21 +eMagiz needs to install a specific agent in the Docker instance that allows to download runtime images that needs to be installed on the Docker instance. The specific command to run inside the Docker instance is specific for the machine that is configured inside eMagiz Design & Deploy Architectures. It can be found inside the eMagiz iPaaS portal under Deploy Architecture. At the runtime connector, there is a right click option called Deploy Agent. That presents either the command or the location where that agent is installed.

30 -Once on the "Advanced" tab, you must define the group name. You can determine the group name if this is the first flow you are changing. In all subsequent flows, you want to add to the same group, you must use the **same** group name.
25 +After installing the agent, you can use the Docker cheat sheet below to see if the docker containers are running and/or images are available.

38 -Within a runtime context, you can add multiple groups that can be stopped and started separately from each other. In this example, we would also like to have a group for our exits to stop them if the connecting system undergoes maintenance or is down to store the messages in the queue.

46 -When choosing this option, you will see the following pop-up (assuming the machine still needs to be configured). In this pop-up, you must choose between Linux and Windows as OS. Depending on the server OS you previously installed Docker, you must select Linux or Windows.
