    Job will run on server a most of the time.  when that server is being updated etc the programmer would like the job to be able to automatically switch over and run on server B.  Clearly these servers I mirrors of each other identical application and data different server names.  I have only ever had one server for our apps to run on in the past I couldn't find an example in my searches.

    Hi,

     

    I'm assuming you are referring to have both agents running in cluster. This way, if the agent A is down, the job is switched to run in Agent B.

     

    If this is correct, please refer to the agent documentation link below:
