Host-Aware Replication

With host-aware replication, you group seeders based upon their member names.

To organize seeders into groups, use member names of the form:

ActiveSpaces groups all seeders with the same group_name together and their data will is replicated on seeders outside of that group.

You can set up host aware replication in several ways:

By using the TIBCO ActiveSpaces API functions in your application to set up a MemberDef that specifies a member name using the host-aware replication naming convention.

See Using the ActiveSpaces API Set to Implement Host-Aware Replication

By using the as-admin utility.

By starting as-agents that run as seeders and using the as-agent -name parameter to set up member names that use the host-aware replication naming convention.

For more information on setting up host-aware replication using as-agent, refer to the TIBCO ActiveSpaces Administration Guide.

MemberDef memberDef = MemberDef.Create();
memberDef.setMemberName = “mymachinename.seeder_n”;

tibasMemberDef memberDef;
tibasMemberDef_Create(&memberDef);
tibasMemberDef_SetMemberName(memberDef, “mymachinename.seeder_n”);

MemberDef memberDef = MemberDef.Create();
memberDef.MemberName = “mymachinename.seeder_n”;
