Dedicated server for WF

[Soady, Phil]

Does it fail...? What dou you mean by fail...
 
It might... but its not "lost" and the load balancer can be changed (SMLG)
so that attempts to logon to instance A end up on B.
But if all instances are busy... then it must "fail" as you call it.
FULL is FULL. What does all this mean.
The Destination can be used to go to another available server, YES.
If that server is full, then all bets are off.
 
 
If your administrator is familiar with such games (s/he has multiple instances and logon groups'
under control) then they already have such concerns addressed.
 
SM59 still allows for a last minute change of app server anyway.
 
Go ahead a let them move initial event handling to another server.
BTW....Do you have the event q turned on.
SWEQADM ?
No?.... Now mention the event queue to them.
Careful you will need a bucket as they may start salivating excessively.
 
Now they can control the processing of events in a controlled manner.
Although the default schedule button in SWEQADM doesn't offer it,
ABAP    RSWEQSRV can be scheduled manually to run every minute on a specific server.
So before you do mass maint on SWE2... take a look at SWEQADM.
 
Cheers

Dear WF users
 
Our system folks are trying to talk us into using a dedicated workflow
server by routing the RFC destinations in transaction swe2. (cfr SapNote
98407)
Now offcourse we are pro everything which could improve workflow and
system performance however I would like to know if any of you have had
experiences with this and how did it work out?
 
Especially I would like to know of experiences when something goes wrong.
What happens if this dedicated server fails and goes offline.  Does the
system switch back to searching available processes on all application
servers or just fails?
 
Thank you in advance for any information you might possibly have...
