Configuring load balancing

Setting up a cluster of Web GUI servers involves creating a cluster of the underlying Dashboard Application Services Hub servers and then enabling Web GUI load balancing.

Before you begin

See the appropriate documentation for your version of Jazz SM on load balancing for Dashboard Application Services Hub: Ensure that you applied all the available fix packs to the Web GUI and Dashboard Application Services Hub. In addition to the Web GUI, a load balancing environment requires an IBM® DB2® database server and an IBM HTTP server. The instructions in this section describe how to obtain and configure these components.
Important: If you use an LDAP directory for user authentication, restrictions apply to the user synchronization function with the ObjectServer. For more information, see the section Users are authenticated externally in Web GUI user authentication.
