Configuring a NameServer
Table 4–1: NameServer properties (1 of 6)
Property category or property Description
Location
Location A read-only property that indicates whether
the NameServer is local or remote:
• Local — The NameServer runs locally
on the selected host. You can configure
all the properties of a local NameServer.
• Remote — The NameServer runs
remotely on a network machine that is
separate from the selected host.
You can set this property only when you first
create the NameServer instance. To change
the location of a NameServer, you must first
delete and then recreate the NameServer with
the new location setting.
General

NameServer uses to listen for client
connection requests and registration messages
from AppServers, DataServers, and
WebSpeed Transaction Servers.
