You need to work with your  SAP basis  team to  achieve load balancing between SMP server and SAP back end.There are couple of options  available , one option could be to  use message server for load balancing .  SAP JCO connector supports logging  to SAP system with message server set-up.

Thanks

Hi Manju,

Thanks for your reply!!

I have had a discussion with my SAP Basis team, I came to know about the Message server avilability in the environment that can be use for loadbalancing.

I will give a try to this and update you with the result.. thanks for the help and direction

Kind Regards,

Hi Manju,

I am able to connect with Message Server from SMP using SAP connection template. which in turns handles the load balancing at backend

Thanks for your help.

Kind Regards,

Hi Amey,

An answer will depend on how you intend to expose your connection to the backend SMP Database.  Will it be a direct JDBC connection?  (If so, what's the database vendor?)  Something else?

Thanks,

Hi Riley,

Thanks for your reply...

Here is the more explaination -

- SMP server version - 2.3 with sp04

- Builtin database provided by SMP 2.3 bundle.

Backend system exposing data in RFC and endpoint url for two differenet app.

Using RFC we are building MBO and using endpoint url we have one Odata application.

Now as I mention in image in my previous first post.  when SMP server wants to communicate with any backend system there is a LOAD BALANCER in between which redirect the request to the any of the SAP system. (this is the current landscape environment)

Now I want to unserstand that how SMP server and load balancer will be configured so that this traffice / communcation can take place.

Kind Regards,
