Load Balancing through Liquid UI Server

[Benjamin Dasari]

Purpose:
Load balancing is a technique used to spread work between two or more servers in order to get optimal results.
This document contains four connection scenarios (with and without load balancing) using Liquid UI Server.

Scenario 1 - Connection using a single Liquid UI Server, and no message servers
This creates a direct connection to the server, with all connections passing through the same server.


Scenario 2 - Connection schematic when using multiple Liquid UI Servers, and one message server
When a user tries to login, the message server will identify the Liquid UI server with the least amount of connections,
and allow a connection directly with the corresponding Liquid UI server.
In this example, "GuiXTMSSRVR" is the location of the message server.


Scenario 3 - Connection using one Liquid UI server, and a SAP message server
In this example, "GuiXTSRVR" is the location of the Liquid UI server.


Scenario 4 - Connection using a Liquid UI message server, Liquid UI server(s), and a SAP message server
In this example, "GuiXTMSSRVR" is the location of the Liquid UI server.
