4 -eMagiz flows, or more specifically, the flows' inbound components, can be grouped. The benefit from this is that you can later in [[Deploy>>doc:Main.eMagiz Academy.Microlearnings.Intermediate Level.Grouping and Failover.intermediate-grouping-and-failover-deploy-possibilities.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).
5 +In the previous microlearning, we discussed what situation that failover mode will be beneficial as well as the settings that need to be configured in the Design phase. Next to that, we also discussed that setting up this failover functionality in your model requires you to first execute some steps in your Design, Create, and lastly Deploy phase. Picking up from what we have discussed previously in the Design phase, in this microlearning, we will focus on configuring your setup in the Create phase if you want to activate the active/passive failover configuration.

18 18  This microlearning describes what configuration that you will have to do in the Create phase, based on what you have configured in the Design phase, to enable failover for systems connecting with your model. The grouping and failover functionality is relevant when faced with maintenance and outages of systems connected to your model. The failover functionality assists in that case and allows you to have a fallback option on an active connection.

24 -To configure failover for systems that are connecting with your model, we first need to go to the Design phase. In your Design>Solution Design, find and open the details of the system that you want to enable failover for. Once you do that, then you need to make sure that "Multiple runtimes" option is selected for this system, which is logical since we want to have a second runtime running in case of failover situations (e.g., outage, maintenance, etc.). Afterward, you will see the "Number of runtimes" and "Run in failover" fields. To enable failover, make sure that you fill in 2 as the "Number of runtimes", before selecting the "Run in failover" checkbox. See the screenshot below as an example.
21 +After finishing up your configuration in the Design phase, you can then go to the Settings page on the top right corner of the Create phase. In this page, as shown below, you will find .
