IOForceFailover() Function

The IOForceFailover() script function switches between the primary and secondary data sources of the Access Name. The active I/O node toggles between the primary and secondary nodes with each invocation of the script function.

Typically, the IOForceFailover() function is part of a script associated with button or another window object. Operators select the object from an application window to force a failover. After operators select the object again, the IOForceFailover function forces the I/O connection back to the formerly active I/O node.
