Configuring the Daemon for High Availability
Figure 8–1 The Server Mode Tab
When using any of the server modes you can specify a pool of server processes. These
server processes are started when the daemon starts and are maintained in a pool. The
server processes are available for use by new client requests from the pool, saving
initialization time. Instead of starting a new server process each time one is requested
by a client, the client receives a process immediately from the pool of available
processes. When the client finishes processing, this server process either dies, or if
reusable servers have been specified, it is returned to the pool.
You set up a pool of server processes by specifying the following parameters in the
Server Mode tab.
Port Range: Select the range for specific firewall ports through which you access
■
the workspace. Determines the range of ports available for this workspace when
starting server processes. Use this option when you want to control the port
number, so that Oracle Connect can be accessed through a firewall.
Enter the port range in the following fields:
■
■
Use Default Port Range: Select this to use the port range that is defined in the
■
daemon.
Maximum number of server processes: Enter the maximum number of server
■
processes that can run at the same time.
Limit server reuse: Select this if you want to limit the number of servers that can
■
be reused. If this is selected, the Reuse limit parameter is available.
If Limit server reuse is selected, in the field next to the check box, enter the
maximum number of times a server can be reused. Select the maximum of clients
accepted in a server process.
