IBM Tivoli Composite Application Manager for Application Diagnostics, Version 7.1.0.1

Load-balancing Archive Agents across multiple Publishing Servers

The problem: When starting multiple Archive Agents, their starting time may vary. The Publishing Server will establish all queues with the first started Archive Agent. If that Archive Agent is overloaded, it may crash.

The solution: A new feature was implemented in the Publishing Server that resets the queues to better balance the load across all queues. This feature is disabled by default; to enable it, set this property in ps1.properties and ps2.properties:

# Allows to load balance PS->AA connections more uniformly by resetting the # connections at regular intervals.
aa.loadbalancing.enable=false

Also, you can set the time intervals for queue reset using the following properties:

# Start time in minutes when to reset the AA connections for the first time
aa.loadbalancing.start=10
# Delay time in minutes to wait between two different AA connection resets.
aa.loadbalancing.delay=90
