Exposing a webservice on ECC 5.0 in a load balancing setup

[Former Member]

Hi

We have a webservice exposed on ECC 5.0 that is being invoked by an external system. When we move this webservice to our production environment - which is load balanced and has a logon group setup - we need to be able to expose this webservice - not on a single application server - but be available on the logon group ( message server ) so that the url that we provide for the webservice to the external system does not contain a single application server - but points to the logon group. We do not have a web dispatcher in our environment/architecture.

How do we go about exposing this point-to-point webservice on ECC 5.0 in a load balanced setup ? Any suggestions, experiences that can be shared ?

This can be done though SICF.

If you click on a service, their is a service data tab.

underthat tab is a Load Balancing option.

This then points the service at the SMLG logon group.

Thanks. After I updated the logon group on the service data tab in SICF, I used the message server on the URL instead of a specific application server .

Now, I believe the service should be available in a load balancing mode. Full points awarded.
