Hi, The main benefits of Sysplex Distributor with DVIPA are: * network-based workload balancing for TCP/IP applications * non-disruptive application server instance movement * non-disruptive takeover and takeback of the distributor in case of a TCP/IP stack failure
Q1. Have you implemented Sysplex Distributor? Main reason: high (continuous) availability? workload balancing? both? Q2. What kind of applications? IMS Connect? With or without shared queues? Pros, cons in this respect? OTMA considerations? DB2 Connect? Home-written Connector? MQ? With MQ clustering? Or MQ shared queues? Pros, cons in this respect? Q3. Any experiences to share? nasty, pretty, watch-outs ... Stability of the involved product set? In other words, is this proven technology after 4 years of availability? Difficulties encountered? I'm pretty sure you have in this TCP connection oriented world. Shortcomings? I realize, these are easy questions, with open ended answers. Anyhow, we are interested in the slightest fdbk you want to share.
