SRM 5 - load balancing via Portal

[former_member387496]

Hi Team,

We have just upgraded to SRM version 5 and we have a link from the Portal to the SRM Server.

eg. http://hostname:8000/sap/bc/gui/sap/its/bbpstart/!

Seems as if all requests are only being sent to the 1st Server and the additional Apps server is idle.

I also checked the settings via (SICF-ITS - BBPSTART - Service Data - Load Balance )

and put the group that exists in the backend. ( eg. EBP_PROD.)

Question:

Do we have to install a WEB Dispatcher to handle the load balancing ?

I know this will definitely sort out our problem.

Any other clues.

Many thanks.

Kind Regards,

Morgan Moodley
