Primary Server

For an enterprise server build, there may be more than one enterprise server on which to build the server package. If there are multiple servers, one of these servers must be designated as the primary server.

The primary server controls the builds of the other enterprise servers. All source and include files are retrieved from the F98780R repository table on the primary enterprise server. The primary server then moves only the server-only business function source and include files to the other enterprise servers.

The primary server generates the NER, and builds the specs from Central Objects into the package database tables. Then it sends a message to the other enterprise servers to compile the business functions. It waits for all the servers to finish and then sends a message to compress, if compression was selected. The primary server is the only server to communicate with the client machine.
