TEM Clients directly pointing to the TEM server when Relay is down . i have set up the Primary and secondary to the same relay . is that the way it should work ?

I wonder if what you are looking for is the relay affiliation. Check out

for more information.

Thanks for you Reply Martin. i am taking about Manual Relay settings … initially i had a setting say the primary relay i set the one which i want and left the secondary relay unchanged so when my primary relay go down or if Clients unable to contact the Primary relay it takes the TEM server as the Relay . so i set both the primary and secondary relays to be the same one … and in this case when the relay which i mentioned goes down it again takes the TEM server as the relay …
My Question is whether that is how it works ? that is when both the primary and secondary server goes down it takes TEM server as its relay ???
i am asking this because it affects my bandwidth

Hi Venkataraman K,
All client will go to the IEM Server stated in the masthead file when all relays are unavailable whether you specify manually or automatically. I don’t make sure your requirements but assume that in your case the secondary should be unreachable when the primary be as well because the both of them is the same machine.
In the most common case for manual relay selection, the client tries the primary one first, the secondary one next, and the IEM Server finally.
You can control those selection behaviors with more parameters starting with “_BESClient_RelaySelect” in the link.
Configuration Settings
Thanks,
