Configuring High Availability for Dynamic Workload Console

You can configure a cluster of console nodes in High Availability with identical configurations to evenly distribute user sessions.

Before you begin configuring your nodes in High Availability, refer to the section on configuring High Availability in the Dynamic Workload Console User's Guide.

The workload is distributed by session, not by request. If a node fails, users who are in session with that node must log back in to access the Dynamic Workload Console. Any unsaved work is not recovered. To disable a node, change the configuration in the datasource.xml located in the following path:

opt/wa/DWC/DWC_DATA/usr/servers/dwcServer/configDropins/overrides

The Dynamic Workload Console is set to be always in High Availability and a front-end Network Dispatcher (for example, IBM HTTP Server) must be set up to handle and distribute all incoming session requests.
