I want to enable load balancing in my BPC 7.5 SP15 on NetWeaver environment. Currently I have two .NET servers supporting the environment. Each has it's own SSL certificate. This sysem has been working this way for three years.
I would like to generate a single SSL certificate and use a F5 load balancer for the environment.
CURRENT CONFIGURATION
- The first .NET server has a SSL certificate called mycomanywas1.com. If I type the URL https://mycompanywas1.com/Osoft in my browser the Osfot application starts.
For this server the entry in the c:\NW_PC\websvr\web\web.config file is:
<add key="AppServer_URL" value="https://mycompanywas1.dteco.com:443/osoft/app"/>
For this server the server options in BPC are set up as shown in the picture below
- The other .NET server has a SSL certificate called mycompanywas2.com. If I type the URL https://mycompanywas2.com/Osoft in my browser it works.
For this server the entry in the web.config file and the BPC setup are similar to the first .NET server, just replace was1 with was2
PROPOSED CONFIGURATION
1.) I have generated a SSL certificate for the site mycompany.com
2.) I have installed the certificate on both .NET servers
3.) I have modified the web.config file I both servers to reference to look like the entry below
<add key="AppServer_URL" value="https://mycompany.dteco.com:443/osoft/app"/>
4.) In the BPC setup for both servers I changed the "Web Server Name" to mycompany.com
5.) I have set up the F5 load balancer for this new environment. Including round-robin assignment and a 30 minute persistance
6.) I restarted both .NET servers
When I type the URL https://mycompany.com/Osoft in my browser it does not always work. Sometimes I get a "Server error in /Osoft application" error.
If I type the URL https://mycompany.com in my desktop browser it always works.
If I logon to the first .NET server and type the URL https://mycompany.com/Osoft from a browser on the .NET server it works
If I logon to the second .NET server and type the URL https://mycompany.com/Osoft from a browser on the .NET server it works
If I use IIS Manager to stop the BPC site on one of the .NET servers and type the URL https://mycompany.com/Osoft in my desktop browser - it works. The problem only occurs if I have both .NET servers running.
I must be missing a step in the configuration on the BPC setup. Any ideas?
