The Lexico Distribution Algorithm is a lexicographic distribution algorithm.
A lexicographic distribution algorithm uses a specific attribute in the entry to decide if the entry belongs to a partition. The partition is defined by a lower bound and an upper bound. When the distribution attribute value is inside the partition range then the entry is a member of the partition.
The Lexico Distribution Algorithm component inherits from the Distribution Algorithm
This page describes the Lexico Distribution Algorithm:
A description of each property follows.
| Basic Properties: | Advanced Properties: |
|---|---|
| ↓ distribution-attribute | ↓ java-class |
| Description | Identifies the distribution attribute. The LDAP attribute used as the partitioning key. For example 'sn'. |
| Default Value | None |
| Allowed Values | A String |
| Multi-valued | No |
| Required | Yes |
| Admin Action Required | None |
| Advanced Property | No |
| Read-only | No |
| Description | Specifies the fully-qualified name of the Java class that provides the Lexico Distribution Algorithm implementation. |
| Default Value | com.sun.dps.server.workflowelement.distribution.LexicoDistributionAlgorithm |
| Allowed Values | A java class that implements or extends the class(es) : com.sun.dps.server.workflowelement.distribution.DistributionAlgorithm |
| Multi-valued | No |

| Admin Action Required | None |
| Advanced Property | Yes |
| Read-only | No |
Each configuration property can be mapped to a specific LDAP attribute under the "cn=config" entry. The mappings that follow are provided for information only. In general, you should avoid changing the server configuration by manipulating the LDAP attributes directly.
