Information Builders WebFocus Reporting Server 5.2

Product Description

The component that is the "conscience" of the WebFOCUS Reporting Server is its Cluster Manager (CLM). This component is also referred to as the Autonomic Server or the Workload Distribution Facility. CLM monitors in real-time ongoing experience with running jobs. Then it makes predictions about which server in a cluster can best handle the next job to be dispatched. And when the whole cluster is maxed out, which is when no server can process a request within the target response time, CLM can avert a crisis by spontaneously launching servers in the cluster that are designated as reserved. All this is done without the intervention of the system administrator.
