2.3: Configure ClusterCATS.
This is not by any means an in-depth discussion on the setup and
configuration of ClusterCATS; it's only a specific set of steps to
accomplish the goal of enabling true load balancing within the
cluster. If you're using a different clustering solution, contact
your vendor or system administrator for help in finding a similar
setting.
The detailed steps are as follows:
a. Open the ClusterCATS explorer (usually found by
clicking Start | Programs | BrightTiger | ClusterCATS Explorer).
b. In the left pane you'll see Cluster Manager.
Beneath the Cluster Manager you should see your configured
cluster(s).
c. Right-click on the cluster your
application is running under and choose Properties.
d. Click the Administration tab at the top of the
window that appears.
e. Under the section labeled
Session State Management, turn off Enable Session Aware Load
Management, then click OK (see Figure 3).

management in ClusterCATS
Your cluster will now serve pages from any server at any time,
rather than "parking" users on a particular server for their entire
session.
The list below references other server settings that you may wish
to adjust, depending upon your situation: 1. Default Client Variable
Storage (Server category, Variables page): The default is Registry.
If you want all the Client variables for all applications to use the
same central database, change this from Registry to the data source
you created (CVR). If you choose to leave this as Registry, you must
make sure all of your CFAPPLICATION tags specify the CLIENTSTORAGE
attribute (see next section). The registry, just like server RAM, is
specific to each server, making it inappropriate for storing client
variables in a cluster.
