Creating the Database
The table has at least one row for each Web server RLS can contact. Each row
includes these columns:
•
Filename
•
Ip_addr
•
Port
•
Tcpip
•
No_Servers
•
Relative_ID
Where:
Filename
is the prefix (the first part of the URL path name) shared by a set of replicated Web
servers. Its value identifies the root directory, or the alias name of the root directory
for an Windows NT IIS Web server. This field cannot exceed 200 characters and
cannot include wildcard characters. The value must be the same for all Web
servers to be considered replicated; for example, to define a set of three replicated
servers, you need three database records, all with the same value of Filename.
To map multiple prefixes to the same Web server you need multiple records for the
server, with different values in this field.
Ip_addr
specifies the address of the remote server. The value of Ip_addr can be either an
address in dotted decimal format or a domain name; it cannot exceed 40
characters.
Port
specifies the port of the remote server.
Tcpip
is the name of the local TCP/IP process that RLS must use to connect to the
remote Web server. You can use any TCP/IP process on your system. If the Web
server described in this record is on the same system as RLS, you must still
specify a TCP/IP process name, but RLS will ignore it. Specify the process name in
Guardian format: a dollar sign ($) followed by up to five characters.
No_Servers
is the number of replicated servers in the set. Each replicated server must be
represented by its own record. The value of No_Servers is the same in each
record. The value must not exceed 50.
