[Progress Communities] [Progress OpenEdge ABL] Forum Post: RE: Tomcat Load Balancing Confusion

[Ram Krushna Mishra]

Hi Bronco, "lb/jklb" and "status/jkstatus" are special pas instances which can be created to use for tomcat load balancing. If you create the instance with these names and use "pasman workers" to create the workers.properties file , then pasman or tcman understand these special instance and they are being used as loadbalancer and status monitor respectively. i.e we will automatically detect them and place them in loadbalancer and status worker directive respectively in the worker.propeties file. This is for user convenience so that they do not need to manually edit or create worker files. This will be automatic if the instance names are lb and status. All other names are considered as workers and users will have to manually edit the worker.properties file or create it to place the load balance directive and status worker directive by themselves. I hope this explains the need for 'lb' and 'status' instance. Please let us know if any other information is required. Thanks and Regards, Ram Krushna
