Issue/Introduction

When upgrading the Primary DE Server node can we enable the secondary node to allow the jobs to continue to be submitted 

Environment

Release : 12.0

Component : WORKLOAD AUTOMATION DE 

Resolution

Yes, the recommended solution will be to use the “changerole” command to switch the roles so that the Standby Server can processes the workload while you upgrade the Operating System on the Primary DE server.

You can switch Primary and Standby roles by issuing the CHANGEROLE command. Please consult the following documentation page for more information:
