Issue/Introduction
How does the TIBCO Data Virtualization server work with a Load Balancer?
Resolution
A TDV server has no awareness of the Load Balancer, or of how the Load Balancer is distributing requests across nodes. The server binds to a port, and then listens for incoming requests at that port.
It listens for HTTP requests at the base port (9400 by default). These are requests sent by a browser or by a web services client. It listens for JDBC/ODBC requests at the base port + 1 9401 by default). These are requests sent by a JDBC client or an an ODBC client.
From the perspective of the TIBCO Data Virtualization server, the only requirement is that you configure your Load Balancer to do the following:
(1) forward HTTP requests to port 9400 (2) forward JDBC/ODBC requests to port 9401
We do not have configuration guidelines for Load Balancers, as they are third-party applications. You will need to refer to the documentation that has been provided to you by your Load Balancer vendor.
