Prerequisites and configuration

Before starting to work in cluster mode, make sure that:

• two instances of the Tomcat application server are installed and started.

  For more information, see Setting up High Availability on Talend Help Center .

• two CommandLine applications are started and registered on the Configuration page.

  For more information, see Setting up the Job Conductor parameters,

• several execution servers are grouped in a virtual server and are up and running.

  For more information on how to group physical servers in a virtual server, see Configuring virtual servers.

Best practice:

In the Job conductor node of the Configuration page, you should use the same folders to store the generated Jobs and the same folders to store the logs. To synchronize these folders, it is recommended to use a file-synchronization tool like Unison to propagate the changes to the two folders, or you should at least use a shared directory to store these folders.
