Remarks

When Microsoft Dynamics AX needs data from the Middleware servers, a request to the switchboard is made. The switchboard passes on this call to the servers that it is dealing with through the Microsoft Dynamics AX connector. If the servers can satisfy the request, they return the data. If one or more of the servers are down, the call returns an error with a list of servers that are down. If one or more readers on some of the servers are down, the switch board returns data up until the time in which all of the readers were functioning and it also returns a list of the readers that are down. Then, Microsoft Dynamics AX will stop calling for more data until a decision has been made as to whether the problem will be fixed or the reader or server will be excluded.
