Description

The HOST_SELECTION option specifies how the UCMD Manager will select a host, from the list of hosts specified via the REMOTE_HOST option, with which the UCMD Manager will begin its attempts to connect to a remote Universal Broker.

Regardless of how the first host is selected, UCMD Manager processes the list sequentially until either a connection to a remote Universal Broker succeeds or all hosts in the list have been tried.

HOST_SELECTION is ignored if only one host is specified in the REMOTE_HOST list of hosts.

Valid values for option are:

sequential
UCMD Manager will select the first host in the list, and then proceed through the hosts in the order in which they appear within the list.
random
UCMD Manager will select any host in the list, in no particular order.

Note

Attempts to connect to a remote Universal Broker begin with this randomly-selected host, and then proceed in a sequential manner, wrapping around the list (if necessary) until the first host selected is reached again.

Default is sequential.
