Web dispatcher load balancing

74 Views

Hi, all.

We are running on EP 6.0 using web dispatcher for load balancing. No zoning has been configured and the internal group !J2EE is used instead. The web dispatcher is using weighted_round_robin as the load balancing strategy parameter.

Last week we restarted one of the dialog instances(we have 4 in total). After the instance came up, I noticed that the "load" on the web dispatcher Server Group Monitor is reset to 0. That caused all new portal requests to go to the same dialog instance.

My question is :

1) Is the load column used to determine which dialog instance the web dispatcher will send a new request to? Shouldn't it be based on the capacity instead?

2) I noticed the load is cumulative and never got reset. Is that the way it should be? Did we configure something wrong?

Thanks,

Jonathan.
