How is the number for server ID decided?

[Former Member]

SDN collegues:

When installing SAP Java systems, a number will be assigned to a server ID which can be seen at VA and ConfigTool at top level.

How is it decided, do we have a choice on picking up the number?

Thanks!

Hello,

I think we don't have a choice..and keep in mind that it is not the 'instance number' but just a server ID (process id).

It is decided beginning 0 and will increase in number by one whenever we add more number of server nodes, for e.g.

server0

server1

Thanks

Thanks!

However I am talking about a different server ID number.

If you go VA, you see at top level something like

2345500 (dispatcher)

2345550 (server)

If you have more application servers, the list continues:

2345600(dispatcher)

2345650(server)

...

Please advise. Thanks again.

Hello Diana,

It depends on cluster node, which is generated according to messaging.system.node

Please check this link and find messaging.system.node

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/59/25ee41c334c717e10000000a155106/content.htm

And this cluster node is mentioned in visual admin as <instance no>_cluster node.
