Carte APIs Carte Server

Provides web service calls related to servers, such as allocating sockets and ports, getting the list of slaves and registering them, and displaying the initial Carte page.

Allocate server socket

get

Allocates port to use by client. Allows any client to ask for a port number to use. This is necessary several slaves can be run on the same host. The method ensures the port number is unique for host name provided and makes sure the slaves are using valid port numbers. Data communication across a cluster of Carte servers happens through TCP/IP sockets. Slave transformations sometimes open (or listen to) tens to hundreds of sockets. When you want to allocate the port numbers for data communication between slave transformation in a kettle clustering run, you need unique combinations of all the parameters below.

Example Request:

GET /kettle/allocateSocket/?xml=Y&rangeStart=100&host=locahost&id=clust&trans=my_trans&sourceSlave=slave_1&sourceStep=200&sourceCopy=1&targetSlave=slave_2&targetStep=50&targetCopy=1
