multiple Satellite Connector agents work like an active load balancer

If any agent failed to connect then schedule jobs are fail in IBM end and wait till second run execution, then agent will connect secondary due to fail and we are unable to set priority 1 agent or auto switch if fails.


Based on my understanding, we should prioritize the Satellite Connector functionality so that Agent 1 remains the primary and always‑available server, rather than relying on Agent 2 to continuously till failover. In the current situation, we are unable to clearly identify which server is acting as the primary execution agent, and this visibility is also missing on the IBM Planning Analytics side. Implementing this functionality will help ensure more stable connectivity during peak hours. Additionally, introducing a load‑balancing option will further enhance overall performance, reliability, and failover handling.
