When you install Calendar Server software, the Java Enterprise System installer installs all the Calendar Server packages. You then configure the appropriate Calendar Server component on a Calendar host through the Calendar Server configurator program.
The following table shows which components you need to configure for each type of Calendar host.
Table 20–1 Which Calendar Server Components to Configure?
Type of Calendar Host Being Configured |
Needs These Components Selected in the Configurator Program |
---|---|
Front end |
HTTP service(s) and Administration service |
Back end |
Notification Service, Event Notification Service, Distributed Database Service and Administration Service |
The Distributed Database Service (csdwpd) is required only on back-end servers, that is, a server that has a calendar database, but does not provide user access services (cshttpd). It is not required on front-end servers that do not have a calendar database. The csdwpd service enables you to link front-end and back-end servers within the same Calendar Server configuration to form a distributed calendar store.
