• Key Concepts: 
  Hot failover is a feature of the SAP Event Stream Processor (ESP) component of the SAP Business Suite. It allows for a seamless transition from one ESP instance to another in the event of an unexpected system failure. This ensures that the system remains available and operational, even in the event of an unexpected outage.
  
  How to use it: 
  In order to use hot failover, you must first configure two or more ESP instances in a cluster. This will allow for the seamless transition from one instance to another in the event of an unexpected system failure. Once configured, you can then enable hot failover on each instance. This will ensure that if one instance fails, the other will take over and continue processing events without interruption.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When configuring hot failover, it is important to ensure that all instances are running the same version of ESP. This will ensure that there are no compatibility issues when transitioning from one instance to another. Additionally, it is important to regularly test your hot failover configuration to ensure that it is working properly.
