Replace location with the location of the application server. |
This attribute specifies the location of the application server, for intelligent array routing. The value is used with application server load balancing to ensure optimal performance for users.
You can use any string, for example "Scandinavia" or "US-East". Application server load balancing tries to choose an application server and Tarantella array member with the same location, to minimize the "network distance" between them and maximize performance. (The connection between the user's client device and the Tarantella server uses the Adaptive Internet Protocol, which adapts to the network conditions.)
You should leave this attribute blank unless you use an array spanning a WAN (or one that includes slow links) and you use the intelligent array routing load balancing feature. More than one string is allowed, but this slows application launch.
If used, you should set this attribute on all appropriate host objects, and for all array members (using the server-specific General panel in Array Manager).
This attribute is only available if you are using:
--location Peckham
Locates the application server in Peckham.
