Session routing determines which system to send a request. Business Continuity Manager applies session routing rules to each session that successfully connects to the Business Continuity Manager server.
Business Continuity Manager uses the following routing characteristics for each session:
| Routing Characteristics | Description |
|---|---|
| User Mappings | Sets of rules that define the logon requirements of a user or client. |
| Routing Rules | Sets of rules that specify how read and write requests are routed. |
| Error Profiles | Lists of error codes in a single profile that specifies the actions if an error occurs. |
| Time Windows | Used to set automated start and stop times for routine updates, planned outages, or user mapping. Time Windows can run a script when opening or closing, function as an on-off switch, or block sets of users from production for specified periods. |
Business Continuity Manager includes a set of default routing rules during installation. You can add and edit routing rules to meet specific business and ecosystem requirements. You can add or modify user mappings as needs change.
