NameServer

The NameServer is an administrative component that can be integrated with the Transaction Server and AppServer. The NameServer works with a pool of brokers to identify and distribute client requests to register specific application services. For example, an AppServer broker can register Application Services with a NameServer; a WebSpeed broker can register WebSpeed Services that it provides with a NameServer. Also, a NameServer can connect a client request for a WebSpeed Service that is registered with the NameServer with an available WebSpeed broker. The NameServer can also provide location transparency.

Fathom supports discovering and monitoring NameServers. You can also manage activities associated with NameServers from the Fathom Management console.

Note: The NameServer can also be configured to work with other OpenEdge products such as OpenEdge Dataservers and SonicMQ ® Adapter. However, these features are beyond the scope of this document.
