ITS 620 Multiple Agate

54 Views

I have installed ITS Version 6.20 Patch 16 on Windows 2003 as a dual host installation therefore have the Wgate instance on 1 server and the Agate server on a separate server. For load balancing and redundancy purposes I would like to create another Agate instance on a separate server. I know that this functionality can be achieved however not sure how it is configured as I can not find anything within the ITS 620 Installation guide or the Trouble shooting guide, it just mentions that this functionality can be achieved.

From what I have read (Oss notes 352136, 740404, 375065, 505241) and other related information I believe that I just complete the Agate installation on the new server, however keep the same Instance and Virtual ITS Instance name, then ensure that my ITS service file entries for the system are the same as the Wgate. Is there any additional configuration which is required on the Agate server?

My point of confusion is when initially installing the Wgate, it asks if you would like to have multiple Agates, however only asks once for the Agate server. As I now have 2 Agate instance on different hosts where do I put the information for my second Agate server? I have read notes however these are specific to ITS 4.6D and it suggests that I have to edit the wgate.conf file, on ITS version 6.20 this file just points to C:\Program Files\SAP\ITS\6.20\config, within the config directory I have several xml files. Am I to edit the ItsRegistryWGATE.xml on the Wgate server and add the additional agate? Currently I have :-

- <key name="Agates">

- <key name="Agate1">

<value name="Host" type="text">SERVER.NAME</value>

<value name="PortAGate" type="text">4044</value>

<value name="PortMManager" type="text">4054</value>

<value name="Type" type="text">1</value>

<value name="SncNameAGate" type="text" />

<value name="SncNameWGate" type="text" />

<value name="MultiProcess" type="text">yes</value>

<value name="Available" type="text">yes</value>

</key>

Do I copy the above and create Agate2 and change the hostname?

Any information would be helpful. Once I have this working I would like to load balance the Wgates, I understand that you use Windows loadbalancing for this, however any additional information would be helpful.

Thanks in advance.
