Integration

Hi,

In a cluster environment where we have two SOA Managed Servers what would be the best strategy to bounce these nodes and have at least one node continue to process user requests while the other one is being bounced?

In our implementation we have one OHS that has information about two managed servers.

Question: Starting an individual managed server node in ADMIN Mode and wait for all composites to load. Once completed repeat the same for Second node. Will this kind of implementation work?

Here is the use case:
1. Gracefully Shutdown node 1.
2. Start up node1 in ADMIN mode.
3. Wait for soa-infra application and all composites to be loaded on node1. (*would this occur when managed server is in admin mode?* )

Repeat the same steps for node 2.

Is this the correct way to bounce nodes in a soa cluster without impacting any services without any downtime?

Thank You
Kumar
