What happens to orders if GOP server backup restarts?

When the Global Order Promising (GOP) server undergoes a backup restart, the integrity of order processing is influenced by the availability of lead times (LT) during that period. Specifically, during a restart, orders are processed based on the availability forecasted by the GOP system, which utilizes lead times to determine product availability and order fulfillment.

As the GOP server evaluates orders, it prioritizes those based on real-time data including inventory levels and predicted lead times. When the server restarts, it can still manage orders relative to this lead time availability, enabling the system to initially assure fulfillment promises for those orders that fall within the expected lead time parameters. Essentially, while the server is backing up, there is a focused attempt to maintain the orders based on their availability status, reflecting the overall reliability of the lead time data the system has prior to going offline.

When considering the other options, the assertions about keeping orders updated before a restart, the potential for order loss during the server failure, and the requirement for a manual restart later do not accurately depict the mechanisms at play during a backup restart of the GOP server. Instead of outright loss or a need for manual intervention, the system leverages existing lead time data to make informed decisions about order management
