Specifying Unique Logical Names for Integration Servers in a Cluster
By default, Integration Server uses the host name to identify itself while scheduling tasks. However, when a cluster of Integration Servers are hosted on a single machine, the host name itself cannot uniquely identify the individual Integration Server instances. In such cases, use the watt.server.scheduler.logical.hostname property to specify a unique logical name to identify individual Integration Server instances.
The default value for this parameter is the host name.
Keep the following points in mind when setting the watt.server.scheduler.logical.hostname property:
Set this property only if you are running multiple
Integration Server in a cluster on a single machine.
Set this property on each
Integration Server instance in the cluster before scheduling any tasks.
The logical host name you specify must be unique.
The logical host name you specify cannot contain a semicolon (;).
To specify a unique name for an Integration Server in a cluster
1. Open the Integration Server Administrator if it is not already open.
2. In the Settings menu of the Navigation panel, click Extended.
Integration Server displays a screen that lists the configuration properties.
3. Locate the watt.server.scheduler.logical.hostname parameter. If this parameter does not exist, add it. Set it as follows:
Set this parameter... | To specify... |
watt.server.scheduler. logical.hostname
| A unique logical name for Integration Server. |
For more information about using the Extended Settings screen to configure the Integration Server, see webMethods Integration Server Administrator’s Guide.
4. Click Save Changes.
5. Restart Integration Server for the changes to take effect.
