This tab defines the Load Balancing of Activities. To provide high performance, the activities are distributed over several ZEO clients, called nodes, so that they can be processed in parallel. Nodes can either run on different machines or on one machine with different Port Numbers. The format to adress a node in this configuration is therfore IP-Address:Port-Number.

The interval of distribution and activation of the activities is per default 5 seconds. This can be changed by altering the value of interval in the section time-server in the Zope Configuration File zope.conf.

The Distributing node is responsible for the Load Distribution. The default value is empty which means that every existing node will try to do the distribution, which is fine when there is only one ZServer running. To change the Distributing Node, edit the value and click "Change".

The following list defines the nodes the Load is currently distributed to. Per default this list is empty which means that every existing node will try to process all activities, which is fine, when ther is only one ZServer running. To delete a node from the list, activate the checkbox on the left of that node and click the "Delete" button.
