Load balancer

The load balancer has to be configured to redirect HTTP or HTTPS requests to the individual web servers. In addition, it is necessary to activate Sticky Sessions. This means that a user assigned to a web server will stay assigned to this web server as long as his session is active. This prevents terminating the session by changing the web server. Session data is saved on every individual web server.

JobRouter URL

The JobRouter URL has to be configured to link to the load balancer.

Directories

The following directories have to be mapped to the central file server:

cache

data

export

functions

license

output

systemactivities

uploads

The paths to the listed directories can be set in the JobRouter configuration in the general settings.

The file server itself should be fail-save, so the storage point does not become a single point of failure. In addition, fast access to the files has to be possible.
