Hi All,
We currently have an IBM i running JDE E9.0 (9.1.0.4) with WAS Express 7.0. I set up several J2EE Web server containers for each of our environments on the same IBM i. It works great. I'm led to believe that the recommended number of users per JVM is about 100 but I'm thinking that it should be lower, perhaps in the 60 users per JVM region or even less. To cater for this limitation, I created additional servers but with different ports pointing to the same environment (for e.g. PD900WEB10010, PD900WEB10011, and PD900WEB10012). With this in mind, I wanted to know if there was a tool out there that would allow us to point the users to a single front-end URL address that would "load-balance" to the different "ports". For example, if a region had 200 users, getting them to point their browsers to 1 URL instead of getting the first 100 users to connect to port 10010, the second 100 users to connect to port 10011 and so on. How are other folks doing it it out there?
I read a post that spoke of WAS ND and clustering/load balancing but I wanted to know if there was another way to get around this. Again, this is a All-in-one IBM i. I hope this makes sense.
Any suggestions or comments would be appreciated. Thank you very much for your assistance.
Kind regards,
Misael
