Single point of failure

The system has single-points-of-failure (SPOF), where a single fault can cause a partial or complete Sterling™ Order Management System Software system or application outage.

Single point of failure include:

• failure of the node (node-a) will cause a complete system outage.
• failure of the Sterling Order Management System Software agent server will affect all services provided by the application server. In addition, it would halt all services running the integration and application servers that depend on the message queues.
• failure of the database instance due to software errors or disk errors will cause a complete system outage since the application is strongly reliant on the data in the database.
