I have built a web service proxy, now I need to decide where to deploy it. It will be invoked by an inegration process.
My choices are:
(1) Our main PI integration server. This is HA and UNIX based, and is the "big, robust" box with lots of resources.
(2) Our PI remote adapter engine. This is a lightweight Windows-based box that is not HA, used mainly for PI to access windows file shares.
I am assuming I should deploy to (1). But since this is where the integration process is running (which is the client to the web service proxy), is there any reason they should not be on the same box? I thought a read a help doc that said to not install a (web service? java?) proxy on the main integration server, but I can't find the reference now. Wasn't sure if a deadlock scenario was possible, like when one web service calls another web service on the same web server, and there is heavy load.
Thanks in advance for any recommendations.
