Issue/Introduction

When reading the Documentation It appears that the routingPort= parameter in the Proxy ini file only supports a single port (the port of the JCP). However, we have defined two JCPs per AE  node using ports 7443 and 7444 for redundancy and failover purposes, but if the Proxy only listens on one of those port, it does not provide the required failover capability...

Can you confirm if the Proxy only supports a single port.

Resolution

The routing port is defined as the Port of the Proxy Server to which components such as agents and the AWI instances connect.

Routing port can only listen on one port.

Every Proxy that runs on the side of the Java communication process (JCP) is referred to as a Proxy Client, while the one on the side of the AE component is referred to as a Proxy Server.

Each Proxy Client requires a Proxy Server, as they run as a Proxy pair.

Agent connects to the routing port on the Proxy server

The proxy client connects to the CP/JCP port

If proxy failover is needed , we must start multiple proxies as it is done for CP/JCP's .

Multiple proxies can be defined in [other-sp-list]

JCP failover is suppert by the proxy-client (JCP-LIST)
