Configuring Consumers

Consumers configuration table defines outgoing connections to consumer servers. Once this provider server connects to a remote consumer server, it tells the latter what providers table entry should be used to import contexts from this server.

The consumers table can be accessed via Edit Driver/Plugin Options action of Distributed Architecture plugin's global configuration context.

Every consumer has the following properties:

  • Name. Name of the provider to associate with. Must match the Name of a providers table entry on the remote consumer server.
  • Address. Address of consumer server.
  • Port. Port number on consumer server to connect to.
  • Use Compression. Enables data compression between servers.
