4 +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.

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.

15 -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.
14 +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 in this [[microlearning>>doc:Main.eMagiz Academy.Microlearnings.Expert Level.Solution Architecture.expert-solution-architecture-onpremises-server-linux-installguide.WebHome||target="blank"]].

19 -== 3.1 Settings ==
18 +eMagiz needs to install a specific agent in the Docker instance that allows to download runtime images that need 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. In case the command is presented it means that this machine is not yet equipped with the eMagiz Deploy agent. The command can be executed inside the Linux command prompt on the on-premises server.
19 +
20 +Once the agent is installed, eMagiz can manage the machine to deploy new runtimes and or update runtimes as needed. Also the container runtime can be controlled with start, stop, et commands. Please consult this [[microlearning>>doc:Main.eMagiz Academy.Microlearnings.Intermediate Level.eMagiz Runtime Management.intermediate-emagiz-runtime-management-interpret-on-premise-logging.WebHome||target="blank"]] to inspect the on-premises runtime logs.

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, under the "Failover systems" tab in the "Transfer settings from design" section, you will find the system connector(s) that you can transfer the failover settings from Design. Please check the screenshot below as an example.

25 -By pressing the "Transfer failover" button, eMagiz will regenerate the connector infra flow of that system as well as update the exit and entry flows connected to that system with the required settings. We will discuss these required settings and what components are affected in the following section.

27 -== 3.2 Flow Configurations ==

29 -As mentioned just now, by pressing that button in Create>Settings, eMagiz will configure the correct settings for you, so then you do not have to configure them manually by yourself. With that being said, this section focuses on showing you the components that are affected and keep you informed of the required components for the failover functionality to work correctly.
30 -
31 -The first setting that eMagiz configure for you takes place in the connector infra flow of the system that you enable for failover. The configuration in this infra flow requires of at least three separate support objects. Two support objects will be added here, which are the Infinispan Cache Manager and Clustered Lock Registry. The other one that is also added is the Leader Initiator support object, which is required per unique group that you will have within the context of your runtime.

35 35  == 4. Key takeaways ==
36 36  
37 -* Grouping is beneficial when external systems go through maintenance or downtime.
38 -* Failover can have the additional benefit of having a fallback scenario while still adhering to the requirement that there can only be one active connection at a time.
39 -* The role naming in both grouping and failover is crucial. The whole name needs to be matched fully to make it work.
40 -* For the infra configuration of the failover setup, we have a store item that you can use.
26 +* The eMagiz Docker agent needs to be installed to allow runtime to be installed on the on-premises server
