RTclients Hot Failover

Just as an RTclient can failover to another RTserver when an RTserver process fails, you can construct your TIBCO SmartSockets application so that if a primary RTclient fails, a backup RTclient can take over immediately. This can be done by running two identical RTclients, one acting as the primary, and the second as the backup. The only difference between the two is the setting of some options such as Server_Msg_Send and Unique_Subject. A complete illustration of hot failover of RTclients can be found in Guardian (Hot Backup Manager) Source Code in Chapter 5, Project Monitoring, of the TIBCO SmartSockets User’s Guide.
