Configure a Carte Master Server

Follow the process below to configure the Carte Master Server.

Copy over any required JDBC drivers from your development instances of PDI to the Carte instances.

Create a carte-master-config.xml configuration file using the following example as a template:

<slave_config>
<!-- on a master server, the slaveserver node contains information about this Carte instance -->
    <slaveserver>
        <name>Master</name>
        <hostname>yourhostname</hostname>
        <port>9001</port>
        <username>cluster</username>
        <password>cluster</password>
        <master>Y</master>
    </slaveserver>
</slave_config>

Note: The <name> of the Master server must be unique among all Carte instances in the cluster.

Run the Carte script with the carte-slave-config.xml parameter. Note that if you placed the carte-slave-config.xml file in a different directory than the Carte script, you will need to add the path to the file to the command.
```
./carte.sh carte-master-config.xml
```
Ensure that the Carte service is running as intended.
To start this master server every time the operating system boots, create a startup or init script to run Carte at boot time.

You now have a Carte master server to use in a dynamic cluster. Next, configure the Carte slave servers.
