Files Set Distribution

File Set Distribution (FSD) is a service for distributing and replicating files between servers, organized into file sets with specific parameters and priorities. The FSD Server manages file sets, while the FSD Node on clients caches these sets for efficient access, distributing them based on priority. Key components utilizing FSD include graphics, operator notes, and file viewers, with communication facilitated through CS-Lib.

1 Files Set Distribution


File Set Distribution, FSD, is a service for distribution and replication of
files between servers.
Files are organized in file sets, which are a set of files, a set of
parameters, a priority, and a key. Files cannot be shared between file
sets. A file is identified by its case insensitive path and file name, and only
one file can exist in the system with a specific path and file name.
The File Set Distribution Server is a 800xA service, started by the Service
Manager. The File Set Distribution Node process is located on all clients
and is started by SMClient. There is only one FSD Node on a client, which
serves all started systems on that node. The FSD service stores file sets
on the server, and distributes them to the clients. If a file set has priority
higher than 5 it is always distributed to the clients. If the file set has a low
priority, it is only distributed on demand from the client. On the client the
files are stored in the FSD cache.
Example of components that uses FSD are:
 Graphics uses FSD for distribution and dll’s.
 Operator Note.
 File Viewer
The processes responsible for FSD are:
 AfwFsdSrv, the FSD Server. The FSD Server maintains all file
sets; it can be redundant in a redundant configuration and
communicates with the nodes through CS-Lib.
 AfwFsdNode, the FSD Node. The FSD Node maintains a subset
of all file sets as a caching mechanism. When a file set is needed
by a client process the process asks FSD Node for it, if FSD Node
does not contain the needed file set it is fetched from the FSD
Server.
