Requirements for Each Integration Server in a Cluster
The following table describes the requirements of each Integration Server in a given cluster:
All Integration Servers in a given cluster must have identical...
For Example...
Integration Server versions
One Integration Server in the cluster cannot be version 7.1.1 and another Integration Server in the cluster be version 6.5.
Adapter packages
All Tuxedo Adapter packages in the cluster must have the same version number, with the same service packs and fixes.
Adapter versions
You should have the same patch level for the adapter on all Integration Servers in the cluster. (For WmTuxedoAdapter 6.0, the patch level is 3.0.)
Adapter connections
If you configure a connection to the Jolt server, this connection must appear on all servers in the cluster so that any Integration Server in the cluster can handle a given request identically.
If you plan to use connection pools in a clustered environment, see Considerations When Configuring Connections with Connection Pooling Enabled.
Adapter services
If you configure a specific Tuxedo Adapter service, this same adapter service must appear on all servers in the cluster so that any Integration Server in the cluster can handle the request identically.
If you allow different Integration Servers to contain different services, you might not derive the full benefits of clustering. For example, if a client requests a service that resides on only one server, and that server is unavailable, the request cannot be successfully redirected to another server.
