Clustering Prerequisites

Clustering Prerequisites

The following are requirements for operating
Managed File Transfer
in a cluster.
  • All
    Managed File Transfer
    installations in the cluster must be on the same product version.
  • It is also recommended that the operating systems and Java versions match for each system for simplifying configurations.
  • The same folder locations must be specified for the Logs Directory, Documents Directory, WebDocs Directory as well as the Packages Directory when Secure Mail is enabled.
  • All systems must be configured to use the same external database (SQL Server, Oracle).
  • The system clock on each Participant system must be within five minutes from the system clock on the Coordinator system. This time is compared in UTC and ignores time zone differences between systems.
  • The cluster.xml file (located in [installdirectory]/config), needs to be configured to enable clustering.
systemNameA unique name to identify this system in the cluster. The maximum system name length is 20 characters.
clusterBindAddressThe IP address on which
Managed File Transfer
will use to communicate with other systems in the cluster. This IP address must be valid for the local system.
clusterBindPortThe port number which
Managed File Transfer
will use to communicate with other
Managed File Transfer
systems in a cluster. For example, if the cluster bind port is 9006, the XML would look like <entry key="clusterBindPort">9006</entry>.
clusterLogLevelThe log level of "info" will record all standard log messages from each system in the cluster. When the log level is set to "verbose" the log will also record all of the system-to-system messages used to manage the cluster.
clusterEnabledThis must be set to "true" for
Managed File Transfer
to be cluster aware.
  • If using the
    Managed File Transfer
    Gateway for reverse proxy, the load balancing feature needs to be added to
    Managed File Transfer
    Gateway and the Load Balancer Rules configured in
    Managed File Transfer
    .
    Additional cluster configuration information is available in the
    Managed File Transfer
     Installation Guide.
