Register more than one gateway in an RFC destination

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I have a scenario where users are using 3rd party voice software and interacting with my SAP system via a registered RFC connection which is ........(syncronous)

The problem I have is all the RFC traffic is going through the central instance and basically swamping it.

I am assuming this is happening bacause the gateway settings are pointing at the cental instance.

Ideally I would like to spread the load around to the application servers we have.....a bit like load balancing.

Can I load balance the RFC traffic ???

Thanks

Read,

Note 593058 - New RFC load balancing procedure

That might put you in the right direction.

Hi,

You question is not logical.

A registered RFC destination is used to execute RFC calls in an external system.

The concept of SAP load balancing for this registered destination has no meaning.

If your external system executes RFC calls inside the SAP system, then Load balancing is very useful.

But your external system must be able to use connection parameters using a logon group except of using directly the server and dispatcher port.

You need to set these parameters in the external system

Server

sapms<SID>

Logon group

instead of

Server

<Sysnr>

The only problem is that, in my experience, not all external systems are able to use load balancing...

Hi Oliver,

Thanks for the reply.....

You are right it was not quite logical, but I wanted to ask the question just to sanity check myself and just to see if there was an unknown workaround......

To all the others who responded, I thank you and will be following up with the 3rd part Voice software vendor about RFC load balancing...

Hi Mark,

RFC traffic can be load balanced by using RFC Server Groups. See transaction RZ12 (and any related help documentation).
