You can configure connections and initiate failover without using the Full-Server Failover Manager user interface. The same executable that launches the user interface can be used from a command prompt with options. The command line execution opens the user interface, passes through specified parameters, and initiates specified processes. You may want to use this alternate execution if you have different configuration files that you want to execute or if you have multiple connections. The Full-Server Failover Manager command can be initiated one at a time from a command prompt, or it can be scripted. The Full-Server Failover Manager executable is located in the installation directory.
