Operation Ranking in Load Balancer Environment

In Load Balancer ARS environments, there is a form called "AR System Server Group Operation Ranking" where you can set which tasks need to be handled by which server. The most important ones of these tasks are listed below:
- Administration
- Archive
- DSO
- E-mail Engine
- Escalation

As you can see in the screenshot, all servers for each operation are listed by default. According to which server you give the priority for an operation, you need to set the Rank field. E.g. If you would like DSO to be handled by Node1 server first, then you need to set value "1" for this row. If Node1 server is not available, then Node2, Node3 and finally Node4 server will try to handle DSO operations respectively.

According to this Operation Ranking form, the options in form "AR System Administration: Server Information" are set automatically. For instance, "Disable Archive" option will not be marked for Node1 server since Node1 is defined as the default server for Archiving.
