Failover database

Failover recovery with the failover database is not to be confused with agent and finder failover recovery, which are configured directly from the disco.config table. When selected, agent and finder failover recovery operate regardless of whether recovery with the failover database is implemented.

If the m_WriteTablesToCache column of the disco.config table is set to 1 (true), data is cached during the discovery process to enable data recovery in the event that the Discovery engine, ncp_disco, fails. A discovery running in this mode is slower than a standard discovery, because of the extra time required to store data on the disk throughout the discovery process.
