Load Balancing Mode

For versions earlier than TIBCO ActiveMatrix Adapter for Files for Unix/Win 6.2, only Publication Service in one adapter configuration can be started. From release 6.2, you can run Publication Service in multiple adapter configurations to process separate files in parallel.

To enable Load Balancing mode, you have to set the adfiles.LBEnabled property to ON in the TRA file.

Before Publication Service in an adapter configuration processes an input file, the adapter configuration locks the file by creating a .lck file. Therefore other adapter configurations ignore this input file and find other input files to publish.

Note:
  • In the Post Processing field, you cannot select Leave as is for Load Balancing mode. When Leave as is is selected, the following error message is displayed after starting Publication Service:

    Notice: Load Balance not support the post processing mode leave-as-is, please correct it

  • Publication Service in each adapter configuration has a unique message subject.
  • Load Balancing mode cannot be used together with Delta Publishing mode.
  • Load Balancing mode supports the Checkpoint Restart feature.
