PEP Communication Resolution

The enabled dynamicity of a DirX Access cluster requires its clients to know about the current cluster state to efficiently communicate to existing REST endpoints. As a result, the clients periodically request the fresh cluster state. The interval between updates can be set in the dirxaccess.properties file via the cluster.update.timeout.secs property.

During the initial connection establishment process, the client uses the primary (or secondary) server configured for client connection. If accessible, the server provides the client with the information about all the servers currently running in the cluster group to which the client is assigned. In any subsequent cluster state request, the last information is always used.
