Manage workload for this server group

Select this check box to enable workload balancing for servers in the selected server group.

If load balancing is enabled for this server group, the first time an instance of the Client daemon makes a request, it selects a server instance from the server group at random. For the duration of the life of the Client daemon instance, all subsequent requests to that server group are sent to the same server instance.

All servers not assigned to a server group are also considered for workload management, and a server not included in a server group is thought to be in a server group of its own. To stop the Workload Manager from sending requests to a server, do the following:
  1. Create a new server group.
  2. Add the server to the new server group.
  3. Clear the Manage workload for this server group check box.

If you disable workload balancing for a particular server group, for any server in that group, the Workload Manager connects only to the server specified in the call; it does not use an algorithm to select the next appropriate server. The Workload Manager does not re-send failed requests to a server that has workload balancing disabled.
