Allocation of update work processes.

[Former Member]

Hello Gurus,

I have a doubt regarding the allocation of update work processes in a system.

We have 4 application servers in our ECC system and I want to run a job in a specific application server and use only the work processes

in that server.

If I run the job by specifying one target server (SM36), Will it use the update work processes of other application servers?

Regards,

Hello Vrinda,

I doubt this can be possible for a specific job.

For SAP system updates as whole this should be possible with the help of parameters rdisp/vb_dispatching and rdisp/vbname.

Kindly check below link for details:

System Profile Parameters for the Update - Updates in the SAP System (BC-CST-UP) - SAP Library

Lets wait for more answers.

Thanks.

Best Regards,

It worked

Dispatching is activated by setting profile parameter rdisp/vb_dispatching = 1. If this parameter is set to 0, all update requests are sent to the server specified in profile parameter rdisp/vbname.

Hi Vrinda,

If I run the job by specifying one target server (SM36), Will it use the update work processes of other application servers?

If you run the job on one target server , where no upd process is define , then it will not able to update the database , if  load balancing for th update process is not defined.

You need to define the parameter rdisp/vname = <server name where upd process is running> in the instance profile of the dialog instance.

Kindly check the below sapnote

Hi Vrinda.

Yes, it can use any one of the update working process within SAP SID system.(Any CI or App servers)

We have 4 application servers in our ECC system and I want to run a job in a specific application server and use only the work processes
in that server.

Yes, you can define the specific App server to execute the background job.
