Clustering Breeze Presentation Platforms

3

Start the Breeze Presentation platform on Computer2.

4

Stop the Breeze Presentation platform on Computer1.

5

Click the Reports tab.
If failover is successful, the Breeze Manager Reports page opens. If the login page opens or any 
other page is displayed, failover was not successful.

Verifying replication of content across the cluster

This section explains how you can verify that content uploaded to one Breeze Presentation 
platform in a cluster is replicated to all other Breeze Presentation platforms in the cluster and is 
therefore available whenever failover is necessary. As in the preceding section, the procedure that 
follows assumes a cluster with two Breeze Presentation platforms.

To verify replication of content across a cluster with two Breeze Presentation platforms:

1

Make sure that the Breeze Presentation platform on Computer1 is started and that the Breeze 
Presentation platform on Computer2 is stopped.
Before you start the Breeze Presentation platform, Microsoft SQL Server 2000 must 
be running. 
To start the Breeze Presentation platform:

Select Start > Programs > Macromedia > Macromedia Breeze 3 > Start Breeze Server.

To stop the Breeze Presentation platform:

Select Start > Programs > Macromedia > Macromedia Breeze 3 > Stop Breeze Server.

2

Log in to the Breeze Manager.
You can log in to the Breeze Manager from the following URL: http://

admin_host

/servlet/

admin.
In the URL, 

admin_host

 is the host name you entered as the value of the 

ADMIN_HOST

 property 

in the Breeze Presentation platform custom.ini configuration file (see step 2 under 

“Setting up 

a cluster of Breeze Presentation platforms” on page 6

).

When you log in, the Breeze Manager home page opens.

3

Upload a JPEG image or other content to the Breeze Presentation platform on Computer1:

a

Make sure that you are a member of the Account Authors user group. 
To upload content, even if you are an account administrator, you must also be a member of 
the Account Authors user group. As an account administrator, you can add yourself to the 
Account Authors group. For information on how to do this, open Breeze Manager Help > 
Contents > Managing Users and Groups > Managing Groups > Adding members to 
a group.

b

Click the Content tab in the Breeze Manager.
The Content page opens.

c

Click the New Content button and then follow the steps displayed in your browser for 
adding content.
Once your test content is uploaded, a User Content page opens and displays a list of the 
content that belongs to you. 

4

Click the link to the newly uploaded test content. 
A Content Information page with a URL for viewing your test content opens.
