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.

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.
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).
4 4  
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.

18 +This microlearning describes how to configure (parts of) of your Design phase to enable failover for 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 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.

29 -* The karaf.log can be found within the folder called log under the folder data
30 -* You can search the log with the help of tools such as Notepad++
31 -* By looking at the timestamp in the eMagiz Manage Log, you can run a focused search
35 +* Grouping is beneficial when external systems go through maintenance or downtime.
36 +* 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.
37 +* The role naming in both grouping and failover is crucial. The whole name needs to be matched fully to make it work.
38 +* For the infra configuration of the failover setup, we have a store item that you can use.
