  • Publication number: 20240089316
    Abstract: A method for providing more reliable output when conducting a live product demonstration is disclosed. In one embodiment, such a method initiates, on a client system, a live product demonstration by executing a function on a live demonstration server. In the event the function fails, the method saves a breakpoint associated with the live product demonstration. The method checks the availability of a standby demonstration server. In the event the standby demonstration server is available, the method automatically continues, from the breakpoint, the live product demonstration by executing the function on the standby demonstration server. If the standby demonstration server is not available, the method may return an error message to the client system. In the event the live demonstration server is recovered, the method may resume the live product demonstration by executing the function on the live demonstration server. A corresponding system and computer program product are also disclosed.
