INTRODUCTION
Resources are used to specify which computers are used for running the various EnSight components, specifically
the Server (ensight90.server), the SOS (ensight90.sos), the CollabHub (ensight90.collabhub), and the distributed
renderers (ensight90.client). If you are running a single client and server on a single computer, you may skip this
document.
Resources are an alternative way to specify these computers compared to SOS case files, PRDIST files, Connection
Settings, and command line options. While these other ways are still valid and take precedence for backwards
compatibility, resources greatly simplify specifying computers in a dynamic network environment. For example, SOS
Case files and PRDIST files no longer need to be edited to reflect the current node allocation from cluster batch
schedulers. Resources coupled with native reader support in the SOS even make SOS Case files unnecessary.
Resources can be specified via command line arguments and environment variables. Resources can be specified
multiple times; precedence rules determine which resources ultimately get used. This allows sites to specify defaults
while allowing those to be overridden.
