Enabling Siebel Native Load Balancing

After you install the Siebel Web Server Extension (SWSE), the SWSE Configuration Wizard asks if you want to enable Siebel native load balancing. If you want to enable Siebel native load balancing, you must generate the load balancing configuration file (lbconfig.txt) before you install the SWSE. After you generate the lbconfig.txt file, place it in the directory where you store the SWSE logical profile. For information about generating the lbonfig.txt file and applying a SWSE logical profile, see the Siebel Installation Guide for the operating system you are using.

When you select Siebel native load balancing in the SWSE Configuration Wizard, the SWSE Configuration Wizard then adds the Siebel native load balancing information specified in the lbonfig.txt file by modifying parameters in the SWSE configuration file (eapps.cfg) of the installed SWSE. The SWSE Configuration Wizard also copies the lbonfig.txt file from the directory that stores the SWSE logical profile to the SWSE_ROOT\Admin\ directory where SWSE_ROOT is the installation directory for the Siebel Web Server Extension. See Table 9 for information about the parameters that are modified in the eapps.cfg file.

NOTE:  You must apply the SWSE logical profile to all Web servers where the SWSE is installed for Siebel native load balancing to function correctly.
