Supported SAP Adaptive Server Cluster Edition Features

SAP jConnect supports the SAP Adaptive Server Cluster Edition environment, where multiple SAP Adaptive Servers connect to a shared set of disks and a high-speed private interconnection. This allows SAP Adaptive Server to scale using multiple physical and logical hosts.

For more information about Cluster Edition, see the SAP Adaptive Server Enterprise Users Guide to Clusters.

• Login Redirection
  When a client application attempts to connect to a busy server, login redirection helps balance the load of the servers by allowing the server to redirect the client connection to less busy servers within the cluster.
• Connection Migration
  Connection migration allows a server in a cluster environment to dynamically distribute load, and seamlessly migrate an existing client connection and its context to another server within the cluster.
• Connection Failover
  Connection failover allows a client application to switch to an alternate SAP Adaptive Server if the primary server becomes unavailable due to an unplanned event, like power outage or a socket failure.
