Client / Server Setup

Posted by isystemsllc on 29-Oct-2013 09:16

Does Rollbase have the ability to direct an individual client to a specific server?


IE - We have multiple production servers set up - but would like to isolate only a few specific clients to use one of the servers.

Hello,

By default, in a cluster environment customers are loaded dynamically to any available production server component.

However, you can change this behavior in order to assign a specific customer to a specific production server.

To do this:

1. Change the isDedicated property to ‘true’ in the server’s components.xml configuration file. For example:

<Component name="PROD2">

 <DisplayName>Production Server 2</DisplayName>

 <InternalRoot>192.168.100.120/.../InternalRoot>

 <ExternalRoot>www.rollbase.com/.../ExternalRoot>

 <Props>

    <isDedicated>true</isDedicated>

    <Power>1.2</Power>

 </Props>

</Component>

2. For the customer, change the “Dedicated Server” option on the Customer Edit page to specify the desired production server.

Please note, any number of Customers can be assigned to a dedicated server this way (in other words a dedicated server is not limited to just one customer, it can have any number of customers explicitly assigned to it)

Hope this helps.
