18		-This microlearning describes how to configure (parts of) of your 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.
	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.

32		-Once the previous step is done, the next step is to configure your Design>Architecture. Here, you first need to "Start Editing" and then press "Apply settings" on your bottom left corner. Afterward, you will be faced with a pop-up page informing you that failover will be enabled on the system connector containers that you have previously toggled in Design>Solution Design (see the screenshot below as an example).
