Terms and Core Concepts for Server Cluster

Term	Description
Activity View Monitor	The Activity Monitor view measures throughput of remote servers and displays different activity related to processes, job queues, and Server Cluster status. It is used to monitor and in some cases configure different server resource activity. This view is available on the Admin Console perspective only when connected to a remote Server.
Active Server Node (worker nodes, active nodes)	These are Server Nodes that actively process jobs, tasks, and services in your Clarify system. Active Server Nodes can contain multiple or concurrent running services.
Application level	Refers to some sort of operation that affects a specific Active Server Node.
Clarify_node_setup.exe	Part of the install process; this executable establishes system services on each Server Node in the Clarify Server Cluster. These services manage all jobs and clients, run evaluations, and create task allocations across all nodes in the Clarify Server Cluster. The two services are: cis_conductor clarify
Cluster level	Refers to some sort of operation (suspend, shutdown, etc) that affects an entire Server Cluster.
Concurrent Processes (workers, active processes)	Defined as the number of maximum instances of a queue that can run at the same time, this represents an individual service that processes documents/jobs/tasks in your integration. Licensing determines the actual number that are available.
Database Directory	The Clarify PostgreSQL database install, which includes a service that automatically starts the database upon install. This may reside in its own directory within the Host directory or even on another machine (with sharing enabled). Named Clarify_5_Database by default.
Installation Directory	This Clarify Server install, containing utilities and tools used to start and maintain Cluster services, as well as server licensing. Named Clarify_5_Server by default.
Queue level	Refers to some sort of operation that affects a specific queue. An example could be the suspending of a specific inbound processing Event.
Server Cluster	The odd-numbered configuration of multiple Cleo Clarify servers (nodes) that support distributed server architecture, multi-queue capability, configurable load balancing, and process prioritization.
Server Node	A Clarify Server can run on one or many remote machines (both physical and virtual) which are referred to as Server Nodes. All Server Nodes can process jobs, tasks, and services. Some Server Nodes will actively process, while others stand by and wait. Server Nodes can run concurrently; your specific licensing determines the exact number that are available.
Shared workspace directory	The common file system; a directory to be shared with each node in the Server Cluster. This is created as part of the install process; by default, this directory is named Clarify_5_Share.

Active Server Node (worker nodes, active nodes)

These are Server Nodes that actively process jobs, tasks, and services in your Clarify system. Active Server Nodes can contain multiple or concurrent running services.

Application level

Refers to some sort of operation that affects a specific Active Server Node.

Clarify_node_setup.exe

Part of the install process; this executable establishes system services on each Server Node in the Clarify Server Cluster. These services manage all jobs and clients, run evaluations, and create task allocations across all nodes in the Clarify Server Cluster. The two services are:
