About federation installation

The Precise Framework FocalPoint can monitor and service a limited amount of instances and applications. To increase monitoring and service for additional instances and applications, you can add secondary Framework nodes to the primary Framework node. Using federated installation you can also install products that require an Oracle based PMDB or an SQL Server based PMDB.

Once you have added new Framework nodes to the primary Framework node, login and property settings for all Framework nodes, is done through the primary Framework node (via AdminPoint). Additional options for creating and using Framework nodes are as follows:

  • Install new Framework nodes through an existing primary Framework node
  • Connect two existing primary Framework nodes, so that one will serve as primary Framework node for the other
  • Disconnect an existing secondary Framework node, to convert it into a primary Framework node
