The high availability behavior is controlled with an API that is based on a subset of solidDB® admin commands.
This subset of commands is identified by the command prefix hotstandby, abbreviated as hsb. These commands can be issued by using any SQL-capable tool (like solsql) or programmatic interfaces like ODBC or JDBC. The HotStandby admin commands have the following syntax:
admin command 'hotstandby hsb-command options';
or
admin command 'hsbhsb-command options';
The hotstandby admin commands control the high availability state of a solidDB® HSB server, or retrieve state information. The commands can be issued manually or programmatically. The solidDB® HA management tools, High Availability Controller (HAC), and the Watchdog sample use the commands programmatically.
