Services layer
Between the web application nodes and the database nodes are a number of services that are critical to Jive.
Caching service
The caching service provides object caching for the web application nodes,
dramatically reducing the load on the database nodes. Use cache
when starting or enabling this service in the Jive command-line interface (CLI). For
more information about how caching works in a high-availability system, see Configuring Cache servers for high-availability.
Activity Engine service
The Activity Engine nodes provide specialized functionality for attention
streams, recommendations, and personalized Inbox. Use eae when
starting or enabling this service in the Jive CLI.
Search service
The search nodes offload a significant amount of overhead from the web
application nodes, providing personalized, contextual search results for content.
Use search when starting or enabling this service in the Jive
CLI.
ingress-replicator
when starting or enabling this service in the Jive CLI. For more information, see
Required nodes for an On-Premise HA Search service.Document Conversion service
The document conversion service enables rich previews and collaboration
around Microsoft Office and PDF documents without having to open up a desktop
client. Use docconverter when starting or enabling this service in
the Jive CLI.
Storage service
The storage layer dramatically reduces the amount of load on the database nodes.
For an illustration of a basic deployment, see Jive Enterprise architecture.
