Connection migration

The connection migration feature allows a server in a Cluster Edition environment to dynamically distribute load, and seamlessly migrate an existing client connection and its context to another server within the cluster. This feature enables the Cluster Edition environment to achieve optimal resource utilization and decrease computing time. Because migration between servers is seamless, the connection migration feature also helps create a highly available, zero-downtime environment. Connection migration is enabled automatically when a client application connects to a server that supports this feature.

NoteCommand execution time may increase during server migration. Sybase recommends that you increase the command timeouts accordingly.
