It also provides URLs for writing connection rules for third-party HTTP load balancers. You must generate a load balancing configuration file (lbconfig.txt) in the following situations:
This task is a step in Process of Configuring Load Balancing for Siebel Business Applications. Generating and Using the lbconfig.txt FileFollow the procedure that follows to generate the lbconfig.txt file and to use it with your Siebel Web Server Extension. NOTE: If you have modified or optimized the existing lbconfig.txt file, such as by creating multiple virtual server definitions, then you lose these changes when you generate the file. To prevent this result, save your modified file under a new name, regenerate the lbconfig.txt file, then copy your changes from your modified file to the newly generated file. To generate the lbconfig.txt file
Types of Connection Rules Provided by the lbconfig.txt FileThe lbconfig.txt file provides three types of connection rules: component rules, server rules, and round-robin rules. These rule types are mandatory: you must include all three types when you configure the load balancer. Most load balancers allow you to associate a virtual IP address and virtual port number with a group of load balancing rules. They also allow you to define servers as resources and to create groups for them. The procedure in Setting Up a Third-Party HTTP Load Balancer outlines general steps for setting up load balancers for Siebel Servers. Consequences of Incomplete Configuration of Connection RulesIncomplete configuration of the connection rules has the following consequences: |
