To achieve faster performance in a large Oracle ATG Web Commerce application, it is best to keep as much content cached on the HTTP server as possible. This shortens the request handling process. Oracle ATG Web Commerce’s content distributor feature manages content across multiple HTTP and Oracle ATG Web Commerce servers, pushing content from the Oracle ATG Web Commerce document root to the HTTP servers’ document roots.
The Oracle ATG Web Commerce content distributor system consists mainly of three main components of:
DistributorSendercomponents are installed on Oracle ATG Web Commerce servers open TCP/IP connections to a list ofDistributorServercomponents and send put file and file check commands.DistributorServercomponents are installed with HTTP servers. They accept TCP/IP connections from theDistributorSendercomponents and createDistributorReadercomponents to handle each such TCP/IP connection.DistributorReadercomponents handle the input from theDistributorSender, writing the files they receive to the HTTP server’s local file system or the document cache.
