Distributed Architecture of inPilot
inPilot supports the distributed model to allow the deployment which enables network wide view or work load
balancing. Newly introduced component, Remote Data Processor (RDP), plays the role of pre-processing the input files
from gateways. One or more RDPs, installed separately on remote machines can be registered to a master inPilot and
one RDP can process files from one or more gateways.

RDP periodically sends the intermediate data to registered master inPilot. The role of inPilot in such deployments is
mostly for report generation, report viewing, RDP management and optionally data processing.

Important:
RDP installation and registration is required only for network wide deployments. For standalone
installation no RDP is required. For information on how to install the RDP, refer to the Managing inPilot Installation
chapter of this guide.
chapter of this guide.
Important:
RDP and inPilot must be installed, upgraded, and uninstalled separately.
Important:
Before registering RDP with the master inPilot, ensure that the RDP is installed and running.
Important:
The RDP management like configuration and removal is possible from inPilot GUI only. For
information on managing the RDPs, refer to the inPilot Online Help.
Important:
For Bulkstat, there is no support for distributed model and all the bulkstat input files will be parsed
by master inPilot only.
