Using multiple gpfdist programs

You can define each replication task that has a Pivotal Greenplum database as a target to use a separate gpfdist program. In this case each gpfdist should run on a different port. If you want to use the same gpfdist program for each task, you may want to use the gpfdist program as a service. For more information, see Setting up the gpfdist program as a service.

To use gpfdist on multiple ports:

1. Install gpfdist programs on the computers you want to use them.
2. Make sure that you assign a different port number for the gpfdist program in each task. For more information, see Setting general connection properties.
