Configuring load balancing support for SAP connector

To enable load balancing for the SAP connector, configure several properties for JAVA_OPT_FLAGS and /etc/services file as shown in the following table. The /etc/services file is used to map port numbers to service names, depending on whether you are using the SAP connector through the secure connector or in the appliance or docker.
