1.2 Hot standby

HA Monitor uses two systems to protect against system failures. One system performs job processing while the other system stands by. These systems are called hosts. The programs that execute jobs in these systems (hosts) are called servers. Hot standby is a function that transfers jobs to the standby host or server in the event the host executing the jobs or the server fails.
