Connecting to Centera using XAM (java API) and .pea file
Hello,
I am new to Centera and I don't understand the authentication using a pea file very well.
Once you have established connection using "xamLib.connect(xri)" (withe the xri using the pea file location), how long does the connection remains open ?
Is it possible for the connection to remain open indefinitely (until call to "close") ? Another thing, is the connection pool created in the xSystem is a connection to more than one access node ? Maybe the pea file does not allow to connect to more tha one AN ?
Maybe there are some ressource/document that describes the use of .pea file ?
Thanks for the reponse.
David.

David,
Yes, the connectin can be kept continually until "close" function is called or network is disconnected. And the connecting to xSystem is to check and establish the network connection to Centera through Centera VIM. Centera returns all ip addresses of access node during the connection and Centera VIM selects automatically an access node for read/write operations based on workload of each access nodes. It means Centera VIM can support automatic load balancing againg multiple access nodes and you can use mutiple access nodes.
PEA file is jsut for the authentication of xSystem and not for connection.
