Hello fellow Scansharers,
is it generally possible to setup a Multi-Server Load Balancing system?
Is it possible to route tasks from server to server f.e. Server 1 and 2 share the same Watchfolders and Workflows. Can they distribute the tasks when they watch over the same Watchfolders?
I appreciate every help / answer / suggestion!
Best regards.
Hi,
yes Load Balancing is natively fully supported with the specific module for it. The Load Balancing module allows to deploy process clusters which will take care of processing jobs received by the root node, eventually it can be replicated also over NLB for network failover.
Yes watch folder can be used as well but when NLB is not in place otherwise you may have multiple NLB nodes watching at the same watch folder which they may conflict each other, although the watch folder processing is locked for concurrency.
Normally the root node (acting as purely job checking and job dispatcher) will check the watch folder and deliver the job to the process cluster assigned to that task which will take care of the complete job processing.
