Cluster plugin parameter reference

In the base configuration, PolicyCenter provides the following plugin interfaces that manage message transport in a PolicyCenter cluster.
  • ClusterBroadcastTransportFactory
  • ClusterFastBroadcastTransportFactory
  • ClusterUnicastTransportFactory

Each of these plugin interfaces provide a number of configuration parameters that you can set to precisely control such transport variables as server address and bind port number.

Defining a plugin parameter

To define a plugin parameter, you manually add that parameter to the plugin definition in the PolicyCenter plugin editor. For example, suppose that you want to directly control the number of threads in the thread pool that handle inbound requests in the ClusterUnicastTransportFactory plugin. In this case, you manually add the poolSize parameter and value to the plugin definition for ClusterUnicastTransportFactory, using the Studio plugin editor.
