ABSTRACT:
What is disclosed is a system and method for automatically registering and de-registering custom EIP service application solutions across a fleet of multi-function document reproduction devices in peer-aware network. As described herein, through an implementation of the present method, custom EIP service solutions installed on one computer platform can be automatically replicated and shared across a fleet of multi-function devices without requiring manual registration of the newly deployed service with each device. Registration makes the service user-selectable directly from the device's UI. Further, when a service goes off-line or otherwise becomes available, the service is automatically de-registered with devices whereon the service has been registered. A single instance of an application service can be rapidly replicated without manual intervention. The present system is scalable from a few nodes to many nodes as additional resources are brought online.
