1.5.3 Distributed processing system mode

In the distributed processing system mode, server systems called distributed systems that are placed at locations such as business stores and branch offices are connected to the host computer. The role of distributed systems includes distributed processing of host computer jobs and management of distributed data.

Installing HA Monitor in distributed systems enables you to reduce downtime at the distributed systems that is caused by server failures, thereby minimizing the amount of time processing is suspended at the locations.

The following figure shows an example of the distributed processing system mode.
