How to connect to a specific server node?

[Former Member]

Hi,

For support purposes, I would need to know how I could force the connection to a specific server node?

For example, I have the following info in my jcmon:

Idx	Name	Cluster	Debug	HTTP	HTTPS	P4	Telnet	SDM
		Id	Port	Port	Port	Port	Port	Port
---
0	dispatcher	17313700	50000	50100	50101	50104	50108	0
1	server0	17313750	50121	0	0	0	0	0
2	server2	17313752	50131	0	0	0	0	0
3	SDM	0	50003	50119	0	0	0	50118

I would like to be able to choose which specific node I'm to use.

Thank you,

Jerome M.

Hi Jerome,

Login to a specific server node is possible. Use the below:

http://<Server>:<PortNumber>/irj/portal;sapj2ee_irj=<NodeNumber>;

The node number is nothing but the Cluster ID in the below JCMON you have mentioned.

Kind regards,

Jerome,

If by "specific server node" you mean the chice between server0 or server2, there is no choice.

You can connect only to dispatcher via dispatcher port.

Dispatcher will make sure your subsequent requests will be processed by the same server node, but, to my best knowledge, it is not possible to tell dispatcher what server node to use for initial connection.

Why do you need this option?

Maybe we can suggest you some other working solution.
