Joe,
I am not sure I follow. Here is what I know about Server Groups: * Only one sever can act as the Admin server. * Both servers are accessing the same database. Here is what I assume if you use the actual Admin server name: * All workflow should be developed only on the Admin server. * Any creation/modification of workflow on the non-admin server should fail. * The server reference in the workflow will be the actual server name of the Admin server. * If the Admin server fails and another server is promoted to the admin server and creation/modification of work flow will have the server reference of the new admin server thus creating a condition of have different server references in different pieces of work flow. Here is what I assume of you use the Virtual server name: * All servers in the group will have the same Virtual server alias. * All workflow created/modified will have the same server reference regardless of which server was the Admin server. Of course I have not worked with Server Groups so I am only speculating. I would think if a user is logged into the non-admin server and performed some ort of action that required admin functionality that request would be passed to the Admin server for processing. I am basing all of this on my own experience. I maintain two servers that access the same database, one active and one passive. I have the Virtual server name referenced as the alias of both servers. No matter which server is active I can create/modify workflow and the only the Virtual server will be referenced. Thanks, Roger A.

So it is better to check which server has come up as the admin server and use that server name.. If you choose the virtual server, if at the time of login it gets connected to the admin server - you would be good to go but if not you will have to keep attempting to login until you are connected to the admin server.. you will know you are connected to the admin server if you can see all the Server configuration options in enabled for admin operations in the Server information tab from the admin tool - you will need to enable the server information tab from the registry if you are on ARS 7.1. Hope this helps..

This environment has two application servers behind a load balancer. All users are using the virtual server name for the load balancer to log into Remedy. We are also using Server Group technology in this environment. My big question is when developing workflow what server should be referenced in the workflow, the virtual server name or the server name of the server that is acting as the admin server? I am thinking it should be the Virtual Server name. That way, if the Admin Server falls over and the non-admin server becomes the admin server there will not be a problem with workflow. We have another environment that has one active and one passive application server without a load balancer. We do have a Virtual Server name and IP for this environment. When developing workflow I reference the Virtual Server name as the server of record. We have been doing this for years without a problem. Thanks, Roger A.
