Starting and Locating Info*Engine Components
The Naming Service uses an LDAP directory to provide the IE servlet, the Info*Engine server, the native adapters, and the Info*Engine gateways with a means of locating each other, acting as a traffic director of sorts.
In the following diagram, dashed lines represent the communication between the Naming Service, Info*Engine components, and third-party software that could be installed.
Additionally, there is an Info*Engine SOAP servlet entry in the Naming Service.
The Naming Service can be used to automatically start Info*Engine components residing on the same hardware system. Depending on where you install adapters and gateways, you may want to configure the Naming Service to start them as well.
