Content-Aware Load Balancer

When setting up content-aware load balancing, you first choose between two methods: pair configuration and adhoc configuration.

Pair Configuration

Preconfigured using the Load Balancer tab of the CDD.

The pair configuration uses a pair of processing units to act as routers and receivers. Two agent classes, a receiver inference class and a router inference class, are configured to use the same EMS destination. The router processes messages from the EMS queue and sends it to a receiver based on the routing key specified in the CDD.

See CDD Load Balancer Tab Properties Reference for details.

Adhoc Configuration

Allows minimal preconfiguration using the Load Balancer tab of the CDD. Use catalog functions to implement the load balancer at runtime.

Only the load balancer name and the local destination are configured in the CDD. The router agent and receiver agent classes are configured using catalog functions in their rules and rulefunctions.

Note: Ensure that the destination has a default event associated with it.
