Application Server with Dialog Work Process Only

[Former Member]

Hi

I just add my 2nd ABAP application server into my existing central instance and configured this new server to host only Dialog work process.

And I have a client which is not connect to this server with the logon group, but with direct connection the application server.

Now the question is what happen if this client perform a task which requires a background work process and the application server doesn't have one.

Would the server group clever enough to run the background task on the central instance app server ?

Thank you.

Halomoan,

I have not come across this scenerio but In my opinion it should work.

If I were you, I will test my self by connecting direct to the dialong instance and go to DB13 to schedule a update statastic job or run any program in back grouond and check the result.

Best Luck,

You're right. For some reason, I can't do the test now.

But i'm still hoping someone could share the experience or knowledge about this.

Thank you.

Yes, of course !

Since I have not implemented this scenario I was reluctant to give my input but if we run transports from a server that has no background process won't the transport fail because it will not be able to run the RDDIMPDP Job. My understanding is that since it is an event driven job it will trigger on a server where the tp process was called from.

As you can see we have people on here has a doubt this could works.
