Title: How configuring multiple objects server with single library server
Post by: jose.arotinco on February 14, 2012, 12:25:53 AM
Hi,
Can anyone please point me to any documentation corresponding to configuring CMOD with multiple object servers & single library server?

The only difference between installing a Library and Object server is the database component.  So, to install a CMOD Object Server, simply skip the steps involving the (DB2/Oracle/MS-SQL) database.  In terms of configuration, you'll need to change ars.cfg to configure the server as ab Object Server.

Having said that...  There are very, very few situations in which managing separate object and library servers makes sense anymore.  Initially, the rationale for separate library and object servers was to distribute the work of loading files back when CPUs ran around 100Mhz, and to reduce cost and latency when network bandwidth between branch offices was both slow AND prohibitively expensive.  Now, those issues only exist for the very largest of systems (with petabytes of data and hundreds of thousands of users).

Is there a specific reason why you want to go with separate Object and Library servers?

Hello, the reason I want both servers separated is because the customer thinks that way you can improve the performance of CMOD, but seeing as you mention, i do not need to do it that way ... because the amount of storage is not huge, nor the number of users, very good information, however I will test with two servers (only for knowledge).

Thank you very much for the answer
