You can take the following actions on a manual failover policy.
Manual Switch
You may decide to switch your routing to your secondary JPD for testing purposes, when both JPDs are up or in the event of your primary JPD being down.
In both cases you need to verify that all configurations and data is synced to meet your expectations prior to performing the switch. This is especially important when switching back, after an event, from the secondary to the primary.
In MyJFrog, go to Settings | DNS routing |Manual Failover.
A pop-up specifies the change you are about to perform. Select the checkbox to acknowledge the routing change.
Once the switch is performed you will see the secondary JPD status change to “active” and the routing status change to “OK”. In the event of the primary JPD being down you will not be able to switch back till the primary JPD is up again. If a client is using a VPC caching may prevent the DNS from refreshing.
Important
In the event of performing a switch for testing reasons it is recommended to keep the test enabled only as long as is necessary to verify the results. Once done you must manually switch back again.

You may edit your Primary and Secondary JPDs but not the routing URL.
In the event you wish to change the routing URL you may create another Failover policy with a new routing URL over the same two JPDs.
