Distributed Database Service: csdwpd

The csdwpd service is required to distribute calendar databases across multiple back-end servers. The csdwpd service allows you to spread the calendar database across multiple back-end servers within the same Calendar Server configuration to form a distributed calendar store.

The csdwpd service runs in the background on a back-end server and accepts requests that follow the Database Wire Protocol (DWP) for accessing the calendar database. DWP is an internal protocol used to provide networking capability for the Calendar Server database.
