Question

Optimal Application.xml Process tag

Hi, I am wondering what values should I put in the Process tag of Application.xml considering my application. I've done some studies but I am still unsure and would like some expert opinion!

To help you help me :  I have a video chat application that comes with a contact list, so think skype on the web.

Here are my configs :

<Process>

    <Scope></Scope>

    <Distribute numprocs="0"></Distribute>

    <LifeTime>

      <RollOver>19800</RollOver>

      <MaxCores></MaxCores>

    </LifeTime>

        <MaxFailures>2</MaxFailures>

        <RecoveryTime>60</RecoveryTime>

</Process>

I set a RollerOver because sometimes RTMFP crashes on my server, and by putting the RollOver it seems to help, by re-newing the core process. However when clients are connected before the rollover, then they will not see their friends going online after the rollover which sucks.

Anyway, any advices?

Thanks

    Hi,

    RollOver will shutdown the running cores and make new ones. So all the 'information' that is with the previous cores is 'lost', and hence i do not think it is a proper option to use for chat applications.

    Hi,

    It seems to help for the issue I am having however : RTMFP randomly going down a few times a day.

    What would be the configuration to rollover to new cores without killing the last ones?

    Thanks

    Rollover is a legitimate way of the process going down. So all you are seeing is a 'good way' of rtmfp failures without any errors. I still feel that rollover is not a solutions whenever you have information to be shared.
