Components of a Default Cluster

This topic describes the components of a default Cluster.


Syncup instances are of three types: master, local, or remote. These are described in the table below.

Note: A SyncUp instance type is determined based on the protocol used by it.

Master Syncup

Local Syncup

Remote Syncup

OpenText Process Suite Platform (<instance name>)s constitute the members of the cluster.

Each instance of local SyncUp is associated with an instance of master SyncUp on that machine.

An instance of remote SyncUp is arbitrarily associated with the instance of master SyncUp, on a different machine.

The messages between these instances are communicated over TCP.

Communication between the master SyncUp and local SyncUp is one-to-one, and is through TCP.

Communication between the master SyncUp and remote SyncUp is one-to-one and is through the TCP protocol.

Each instance in the cluster has a unique identifier.

The unique identifier of master SyncUp is used by the local SyncUp.

Instances can either use state registry or broadcast communication types, to communicate with each other.

Instances can either use state registry or broadcast communication types to communicate with each other.

A remote SyncUp instance can use only the stateless transfer of data mechanism to send messages across the cluster.

Each instance can either insert, update or delete only a designated part of the state registry (shared data in XML).

Each instance can either insert, update or delete only a designated part of the state registry (shared data in XML).

Remote SyncUp can read the information within the state registry but cannot modify its contents.

Each instance of the master SyncUp can subscribe to any topic or publish message on any topic.

Each instance can subscribe to any topic or publish message on any topic.

Each instance can subscribe to any topic or publish message on any topic.
