NameServers

A NameServer is a single process that mediates client connections for a set of Unified Brokers that have registered with it. Any number and type of Unified Broker instance can register with a single NameServer, and each Unified Broker instance can register with exactly one NameServer. The NameServer that a broker instance registers with is the broker’s controlling NameServer.

When a Unified Broker instance starts up, it registers with its controlling NameServer by sending its location and other configuration information. The NameServer uses this information to help resolve client connection requests. Part of this registration information is the Application Service that the Unified Broker supports. An Application Service is a designation for the particular business function that a Unified Broker provides. For more information on Application Services, see the "Unified Broker" section.

NameServers provide the following services for a Unified Broker product:
