Frequently Asked Questions and Answers

2.3 DocBroker


Whenever a client wants to make a connection with the server, DocBroker acts as a bridge or an intermediary. (Please refer to figure 2.2)

Instead of DocBrokers requesting information from the servers, it works the other way round—Content Servers broadcast their connection information at regular intervals to multiple DocBrokers and the same information is sent back to the requesting clients.

The client can choose which server to use from the returned information.

Clients such as Web Publisher and Documentum Application Builder can communicate with multiple DocBrokers by defining a primary and backup DocBroker in the client's dmcl.ini file.

Note
