Learn About the Association Servers

MXOAS and MXAS2 are the association servers. Association servers are persistent processes
running on the master segment. They provide database connectivity to client applications,
spawning NDCS server processes to handle database requests from clients.

For example, in a cluster having segments NEO0001 to NEO0008, the MXOAS and MXAS2
servers run on the segment NEO0001 and spawn NDCS server processes on segments NEO0001
to NEO0008.

MXOAS and MXAS2 are functionally the same but serve different purposes:

MXOAS provides database connectivity for customer applications, which run on workstations
attached to the routed LAN.

MXAS2 provides database connectivity for the Neoview Transporter, which runs on data
loader systems attached to a high-speed private LAN.

NDCS server processes execute the database queries on behalf of clients. They can spawn executor
server processes (ESPs) to achieve parallelism in the execution of queries.

Configuration servers (MXOCFG) runs only on the master segment and maintains the NDCS
configuration.
