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.

5 -In the previous microlearning, we discussed what needs to be done in the Create phase to enable failover for systems that are configured to have them in the Design phase. Next to that, we also discussed that setting up this failover functionality in your model requires you to execute some steps in your Design, Create, and lastly Deploy phase. Picking up from what we have toggled in the Create phase, in this microlearning, we will focus on the steps and configurations that you have to make in the Deploy phase to activate the active/passive failover functionality.
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).

8 +Setting up this failover functionality in your model requires you to first execute some steps in your Design, Create, and lastly Deploy phase. In this microlearning, we will focus on configuring your setup in the Design 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 Deploy phase, based on what you have configured in the Design and Create 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.

21 -After finishing up your configuration in the Create phase, you can then move to your Deploy>Architecture. Here, you will see the new router containers, which we have seen in the Design>Architecture, to be added to your external machines. When you press "Start Editing" in this page, and then press "Apply to environment", you will be faced with a pop-up page that informs you that these router containers will be created for this specific environment as shown in the screenshot below.
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.
