996.0. "Types of OA$FORMATTER" by BIGTOY::ROGERSD (Rorey Davenport lives) Tue Jul 07 1992 03:55

Hi all,

in section 13.7 Setting up Background Formatting, in the 
ALL-IN-1 Managers guide it describes the different types of 
configurations that the formatter can have. They include:

	* Running a single clusterwide queue on one node on 
	  your system

	* Running multiple formatter queues on a single node
	  on your system

	* Running multiple formatter queues on different nodes
	  in your cluster

	* Creating more than one execution queue than are 
	  normally needed

I have a customer that would like to know if point 3 means that
you can have multiple queues running on a cluster (one per 
node) or if this means that you are able to run multiple queues
on each node in a cluster. The customer is running a cluster
of 2 x 9000 series and 5 x 6000 series machines, with 2000 
concurrent users. Thanks in advance 


thanks

996.1Multiple queues on each nodeIOSG::NEWLANDRichard Newland, IOSG, REO1-D/4ATue Jul 07 1992 14:3925
You can have:

    1.  Multiple execution queues on a single node of the cluster

    2.  Single execution queues on multiple nodes of the cluster

    3.  Or a combination of 1 and 2, that is multiple execution queues on
	each of the multiple nodes of the cluster.


If you want confuguration 3 you will need to edit OA$FORMATTER_START.COM so 
that it creates execution queues with unique names, and point the generic 
queue to all the execution queues.  

The template in OA$FORMATTER_START is closer to the commands needed for
configuration 2 but can be easily extended for configuration 3.  For 
example create execution queues with names:

	OA$FORMATTER_NODEA_1
	OA$FORMATTER_NODEA_2
	OA$FORMATTER_NODEB_1
	OA$FORMATTER_NODEB_2
