Forcing a Dedicated Connection Server

Each endpoint can be linked to several servers:

• The main server which stores the folder file hierarchy. It can be the only server available.
• Additional execution servers (or "run-time" servers) which can be added for scalability purposes. These are defined in the endpoint definition.

By default, a round-robin algorithm assigns one of the servers available to connect to an endpoint. However, for certain administration operations such as folder validation, the main server is automatically assigned.

If you ever need to assign a dedicated server for the execution of certain processes in a multiserver environment, you can do so by defining a tag associating this server with a group, and then connecting as a user who belongs to this group only.

This can be useful if you want a server dedicated to some specific operations (such as web service execution or heavy operations) for performance purposes.

The main principles of server assignment are described in Sage X3 Solutions.
