If you are deploying Simphony on multiple servers, the date, time, and the time zone settings of each application server and database server must correspond. Additionally, the servers’ time zone must correspond with the application server time zone setting in the EMC.
You can synchronize the time settings between the servers by configuring one of the servers to be a Network Time Protocol (NTP) server and then point the rest of the servers to the NTP server. For information on configuring a Network Time Protocol server, refer to the Microsoft TechNet Library at https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/.
In the event the application server that is running the Micros Sequencer Service has performance issues, start the Micros Sequencer Service on another Simphony application server if the main application server is going to be down for multiple days.
The Micros Sequencer Service on the original server must be stopped prior to it being started on the alternate one. Also, when changing where the Micros Sequencer Service is running, the designation of the SOD Sequencer Machine Name must be updated in the EMC.
