Using Cluster Manager With ReportCaster
by Jerry Snyder

The Cluster Manager (CLM) is a workload distribution facility in WebFOCUS that enables you to configure a cluster or clusters of Reporting Servers to optimize scalability. CLM monitors performance, provides statistics and performs dynamic load balancing.
But can you use CLM with ReportCaster? Starting with WebFOCUS 7.7, the answer is yes.
Typically a Reporting Server is defined as a hostname and the TCP port number. When a Reporting Server is configured in a WebFOCUS installation that includes ReportCaster, it is given a node name in both WebFOCUS and ReportCaster. The WebFOCUS Administration Console is used to define the Reporting Server to WebFOCUS.
