Finding more information about system availability
This manual contains information about the availability features built into FactoryTalk
View SE, and how they can help protect your application against software failures.
This manual does not describe how to protect the hardware, the control system, the
information network, the operating system, or any other supporting software that your
FactoryTalk View SE applications might use.
For information about these components, see the product documentation. For additional

Monitoring the status of application servers
In FactoryTalk View Studio, or in the FactoryTalk View SE Administration Console, you
can monitor the operational status of servers in a FactoryTalk View SE application, to
determine whether the servers are ready to provide service, and to troubleshoot problems.
Many of the availability features built into FactoryTalk View SE support local station, network
station, and network distributed applications. However, you can only set up redundant servers in
a network distributed application. For more information about Station, see Chapter 7, Working
with network station applications, and Chapter 8, Working with local station applications.
