CA Service Management

Hi;

i have a question regarding the application server in Advanced availability mode.

if i have Advanced availability mode configured and i have at least one Back Ground server, One Standby server and at least one application server, what is the recommended Service desk sessions from CA that can tell if that application server can hold for one application server.

Best Regards;

Hi Mohamed,

For Advanced Availability the stats are about the same regarding scalability - we recommend no more than 150-200 analyst sessions at one time per webengine.  So if you have one webengine on each app server then it would be 150-200.

Thanks Jon and unlimited for end users right?

I wouldnt say "unlimited" per se - it all depends on what they are doing.  Employee interface users also use resources.  You have to keep an eye on the webengine memory usage etc.  I wouldnt let any webengine go over 300 total including both analyst and employee sessions.

What you can do is create multiple domsrvr-webengine sets on each app server, but then you need a web director on each app server to divvy up the load across its domsrvr-webengine sets.  So what you would have is a load balancer divvying up the load between app servers, then a web director on each app server divvying up the load across its own webengines.  Truly distributed at that point

Hope this helps,

Jon
