Selecting a processor to run an executable of a distributed software application upon startup of the distributed software application

A method, comprising the steps of:

• determining one or more characteristics of one or more of a plurality of processors that run a distributed software application;
• and selecting, at runtime of the distributed software application and based on one or more of the one or more characteristics, a processor from the plurality of processors to run an executable of the distributed software application after receipt of a list of valid processors for the executable and an instruction to run the executable only on the processor;
• wherein the distributed software application comprises a call processing software application, and wherein the call processing software application sets up and/or tears down telecommunication sessions In a telecommunication network;
• and wherein a manager component for the distributed software application, that runs on a multi-processor system, employs up to date information of the multi-processor system to select the processor;
• wherein the manager component comprises a high availability manager component operating in a high availability infrastructure;
• and wherein the high availability manager component dynamically selects, at runtime of the distributed software application, the processor from the plurality of processors to run the executable.
