This bean represents a cluster in the domain. Servers join a cluster by calling ServerMBean.setCluster with the logical name of the cluster. A configuration may define zero or more clusters. They may be looked up by logical name. The name of a cluster denotes its logical cluster name.
This section describes attributes that provide access to other MBeans.
The set of machines (and order of preference) on which Node Manager will restart failed servers. (Requires you to enable each server for automatic migration.)
Each server can specify a subset of these cluster-wide candidates, which limits the machines on which the server can be restarted. Servers can also specify their own order of preference.

A migratable server could fail to come up on every possible configured machine. This attribute controls how many further attempts, after the first one, should be tried. Note that each attempt specified here indicates another full circut of migrations amongst all the configured machines. So for a 3-server cluster, and the default value of 3, a total of 9 migrations will be attempted. If it is set to -1, migrations will go on forever until the server starts.

The address that forms a portion of the URL a client uses to connect to this cluster, and that is used for generating EJB handles and entity EJB failover addresses. (This address may be either a DNS host name that maps to multiple IP addresses or a comma-separated list of single address host names or IP addresses.)
Defines the address to be used by clients to connect to this cluster. This address may be either a DNS host name that maps to multiple IP addresses or a comma separated list of single address host names or IP addresses.

Optimizes cross-cluster replication for the type of network that servers in the clusters use for administrative communication.
To enhance the reliability of HTTP sessions, you can configure servers in one cluster to replicate the session data to servers in a different cluster. In such an environment, configure the clusters to be one of the following types:
man
if the clustered servers can send their data through a metro area network (man) in which latency is negligible. With this ClusterType value, servers replicate session state synchronously and in memory only. For example, when serverA in cluster1 starts an HTTP session, its backup server, serverB in cluster2, immediately replicates this session in memory to Server B.
wan
if the clusters are far apart or send their data through a wide area network (wan) that experiences significant network latency. With this ClusterType value, a server replicates session state synchronously to the backup server in the same cluster and asynchronously to a server in the remote cluster. For example, when serverA in cluster1 starts an HTTP session, it sends the data to serverB in cluster1 and then asynchronously sends data to serverX in cluster 2. ServerX will persist the session state in the database.
If you persist session data in a replicating database, and if
you prefer to use the database to replicate the data instead of
WebLogic Server, choose a cluster type of wan
and
leave the remote cluster address undefined. WebLogic Server saves
the session data to the local database and assumes that the
database replicates data as needed.

The algorithm to be used for load-balancing between replicated services if none is specified for a particular service. The round-robin algorithm cycles through a list of WebLogic Server instances in order. Weight-based load balancing improves on the round-robin algorithm by taking into account a pre-assigned weight for each server. In random load balancing, requests are routed to servers at random.

The name of the host to which all redirected URLs will be sent.
Sets the HTTP FrontendHost for the default webserver (not virtual hosts) for all the servers in the cluster. Provides a method to ensure that the webapp will always have the correct HOST information, even when the request is coming through a firewall or a proxy. If this parameter is configured, the HOST header will be ignored and the information in this parameter will be used in its place, when constructing the absolute urls for redirects.

Maximum number of seconds that a cluster member will wait to discover and synchronize with other servers in the cluster. Normally, the member will be able to sync in 30 seconds. If the value of this attribute is higher, that does not necessarily mean that it will take longer for the member to warmup. Instead it defines an upper bound on the time that a server will wait to sync with the servers that it has discoverred. If the value is set 0, servers will not attempt to discover other running server in the cluster during server initialization

Controls the mechanism used for server and service migration.
-- Requires the availability of a high-availability database, such as Oracle RAC, to store leasing information.
-- Stores the leasing information in-memory within a cluster member. This option requires Node Manager to be configured and running.
Note: Within a WebLogic Server installation, you can only use one type of leasing. Although it is possible to implement multiple features that use leasing within your environment, each must use the same kind of leasing.

Type |
When shutting down servers, sessions are not updated. If the primary and secondary servers of a session are shut down with no session updates, the session will be lost. Turning on PersistSessionsOnShutdown will save any active sessions to the database specified in ClusterMBean#getDataSourceForSessionPersistence() when a server is shutdown. The sessions will not be written at any other time. (For example, they are not saved via this mechanism if there is a server crash.)
This attribute is applicable both to session persistence on server shutdown or session persistence across a WAN.
Rolling upgrade can potential have a bad interaction with traditional in-memory session replication. As managed servers are shutdown and upgraded, in-memory servlet sessions will be lost if both primary and secondary are rebooted before a new request arrives for the session.

Privileges | Read/Write |
Type | java.lang.String |
The channel name to be used for replication traffic. Cluster infrastructure uses this channel to send updates for HTTP sessions and stateful session beans. If none is set then the default channel will be used.
In order for this feature to work, the named channel must exist on all members of the cluster and must be configured to use the same protocol. It is valid for the selected channel to be configured to use a secure protocol.
For more information, see:
Privileges | Read/Write |
Type | java.lang.String |
Default Value | ReplicationChannel |
Indicates if timeout should be applied to session replication calls.
Privileges | Read/Write |
Type | boolean |
Default Value | true |
Servers in a cluster replicates session data. If replication channel is defined then the session data will be sent using the replication channel protocol and secured replication settings will be ignored. If no replication channel is defined and secured replication is enabled then session data for in-memory replication will be sent over SSL using default secured channel. However, this added security for replication traffic comes with a significant cluster performance degradation. It should only be enabled if security is of greater concern than the performance degradation.

This section describes the following operations:
If the specified attribute has not been set explicitly, and if the attribute has a default value, this operation forces the MBean to persist the default value.
Unless you use this operation, the default value is not saved and is subject to change if you update to a newer release of WebLogic Server. Invoking this operation isolates this MBean from the effects of such changes.
To insure that you are freezing the default value, invoke the
restoreDefaultValue
operation before you invoke
this.
This operation has no effect if you invoke it on an attribute that does not provide a default value or on an attribute for which some other value has been set.
Deprecated.
Operation Name | "freezeCurrentValue" |
Parameters | Object [] { attributeName }
where:
|
Signature | String [] {

Returns |
boolean
|
If the specified attribute has a default value, this operation removes any value that has been set explicitly and causes the attribute to use the default value.
Default values are subject to change if you update to a newer
release of WebLogic Server. To prevent the value from changing if
you update to a newer release, invoke the
freezeCurrentValue
operation.
This operation has no effect if you invoke it on an attribute that does not provide a default value or on an attribute that is already using the default.
