The NameServer is an administrative component that can be integrated with the Transaction Server and AppServer. The NameServer works with a pool of brokers to identify and distribute client requests to register specific application services. For example, an AppServer broker can register Application Services with a NameServer; a WebSpeed broker can register WebSpeed Services that it provides with a NameServer. Also, a NameServer can connect a client request for a WebSpeed Service that is registered with the NameServer with an available WebSpeed broker. The NameServer can also provide location transparency.
OpenEdge Management supports configuring, discovering, and monitoring NameServers. You can also manage activities associated with NameServers from the OpenEdge Management console.
Note: The NameServer can also be configured to work with other OpenEdge products such as OpenEdge DataServers and the SonicMQ Adapter. For more information, see the relevant OpenEdge product documentation.
