Configuring Distributed Server Option
The information in this topic is applicable only for on-premises deployments.
Each DSO server can transfer data from a form on its local server to:
- Another form on its local server
- A form on a remote server
To set up distributed operations
Perform the steps in the following table to set up distributed operations.
Step | Action | Reference |
|---|---|---|
1 | Add a DSO license in the AR System server. | |
2 | Configure a password for the DSOuser. | |
3 | Determine whether you will use RPC program numbers. | |
4 | Enable the communication between the local DSO server and the remote AR System servers. | |
5 | Configure DSO for firewalls. | |
6 | Determine whether you want to specify a DSO host name. | |
7 | Determine whether you want to specify the RPC timeout setting. | |
8 | Determine whether you will need DSO for load balancing. |
On initialization, the DSO reads the configuration settings from the centralized configuration form. DSO does not read the initialization configurations from the ar.cfg file. However ar.cfg file is used only for the parameters (like Server-Name, Server-Connect-Name) required for AR System server connection.
