About the Cluster Web Service

The Cluster Web Service lets system administrators define node profiles in the Endeca Server cluster, and list and delete Endeca Server nodes. It also contains operations for obtaining the cluster health and the data domain health, and for defining and managing data domain profiles.

In the Endeca Server cluster, individual nodes are represented by WebLogic Managed Servers, each of which is running an Endeca Server application. These Endeca Server nodes can host multiple data domains.

The Cluster Web Service is intended for those system administrators who will be installing and deploying the Endeca Server software on a homogenous set of hardware nodes, and setting up the Endeca Server cluster.

Using the Cluster Web Service, you can:

After you have defined Endeca Server nodes and the data domain profiles with the Cluster Web Service, you use the Manage Web Service to add the data domains based on the defined domain profiles.

Note: Both the Cluster and the Manage web services have options in endeca-cmd that utilize their operations. Instead of using either of these two web services, you can use endeca-cmd.
