The Report Application Server supports horizontal
and vertical clustering. Horizontal clustering involves running multiple Java
application servers that are run on two or more separate physical machines.
Vertical clustering, however, consists of multiple Java application servers on
a single physical machine.
ReportClientDocument is a
serializable object that Java application servers can store in session. If one
Java application server fails, other servers can use the sessioned objects and
continue to process them. This process is transparent to the user. If a Java
application server can be configured for horizontal or vertical clustering and
is supported by the Report Application Server, the Report Application Server
will run in a clustered environment.
Note: Note: For the Report Application
Server to run in a horizontal or vertical clustered environment, the
ReportClientDocument object
must be stored in session.
Platforms

Configuration
Configurations for server clustering can vary
between Java application servers. Consult your Java application server's
documentation for deployment instructions.
