Verity running in a multi-server MX 7 environment

[theozdude]

I have been trying to run Verity in a multi-server environment (2 machines
running CFMX 7) with no success. When I create the collections in one of the
machines, the other machine in the network cannot see the collections in the
first machine. The ports have been configured as per the k2 defaults. Any
ideas?

You can only have a single machine (but multiple instances on that machine)
talking to the Verity 5.5 K2 server. And you can only do this with the
Enterprise edition.

The full Verity K2 product would support the many-to-one configuration.

Tom,

Thanks for your response. However, in the very little documentation available
in CFMX 7 about Verity, it clearly indicates that you can install the Verity
component in a separate machine. This functionality was standard in the
previous version of the product.

[Tom Jordahl]

Our license for Verity 5.5 does not allow more than one CFMX *machine* to
connect to the K2server. You can have multiple instances on the same
machine talk to a single K2server.

See the Administrating CFMX book, Part II.

You are correct that this licensing limitation is not explicitly spelled out
in enough detail in the documentation. I apologize for that.
