Content Platform Engine, Version 5.2.1 Application server: WebSphere Application Server

Configuring the load-balancer or proxy server

You can configure the load-balancer or proxy server to manage user requests over multiple application servers.

Load-balancers and proxy-servers are typically used to direct users to different instances throughout a highly available application server configuration. When one server goes down the system automatically redirects the user to another running server instance.

If you use a load-balancer or proxy server in this configuration you must use the virtual name when performing installation steps that require a server name for a Content Platform Engine server, with the exception of IBM® Administration Console for Content Platform Engine and other administrative applications.

Session affinity is required for Application Engine and Workplace XT only.
