This table describes important terms and concepts used throughout the Server Cluster installation process.
| Term | Description |
| 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 available. |
| 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. |
| 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 available. |
| Clarify_node_setup.exe | Part of the install process; this executable establishes system services on each node in the Clarify Server Cluster. These services manage all jobs and clients, run evaluations, and create task allocations across all server nodes in the Clarify Server Cluster. The two services are cis-conductor and clarify. |
| 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_6_Share. |
| Installation directory | This Clarify Server install, containing utilities and tools used to start and maintain Cluster services, as well as server licensing. Named Clarify_6_Server by default. |
| Database directory | This may reside in its own directory within the Host directory or even on another machine (with sharing enabled). Users must have their own PostgreSQL database available to a Clarify server. Please refer to the Guidelines for using your PostgreSQL Database with Clarify for more details. |
| Cluster level | Refers to some sort of operation (suspend, shutdown, etc) that affects an entire Server Cluster. |
| 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. |
| Application level | Refers to some sort of operation that affects a specific Active Server Node. |
| Activity View Monitor | The Activity Monitor view, available from the Clarify Studio, measures throughput of remote servers and displays different activity related to processes, job queues, and other Server Cluster activity. It is used to monitor and in some cases configure different processing activity. This view is available on the Admin Console perspective only when connected to a remote Server. |
