Netscape Application Server-- Balancing User-Request Loads


Adjusting Update and Broadcast Intervals
Adjust update and broadcast intervals based on the frequency and range of changes for the Server Load and AppLogic Performance values. If these values are changing frequently and drastically, it is best to update and broadcast these values often. If, however, the Server Load and AppLogic Performance values do not change all that much, it is best not to update and broadcast the values too often. All updates and broadcasts occur relative to the Base Broadcast/Update Interval. This is the interval at which the load balancing service "wakes up." For more information about these intervals, see "About the Update and Broadcast Intervals." To adjust the update and broadcast intervals Open the Load Balancing tool of the Netscape Application Server Administrator. Click the Advanced Settings tab. In the Enterprise window, select the server for which you want to adjust the advanced settings. In the Information window, under each interval parameter, set the time, as a multiple of the base time, for that parameter. To set the maximum number of times an AppLogic object is passed between servers, specify that number in Max Hops. When finished, click Apply Changes to save your changes to the Netscape Application Server.
