Adaptive Computing controls the load of your servers by assigning servers to systems dynamically.

You set-up Adaptive Computing in the Solution Manager after the Adaptive Computing Controller, the Adaptive Computing control console, has registered in the Solution Manager.

Prerequisites

You have installed SAP NetWeaver and the Adaptive Computing Controller has registered in the Solution Manager. For further information, see the Adaptive Computing installation guide, under www.service.sap.com\instguides.

Adaptive Computing is only visible in the Solution Manager System Landscape (SMSY) if you have installed it.

Procedure

...

1. Call the Solution Manager System Landscape (transaction SMSY).

2. Specify the Adaptive Computing networks:

a. Choose Adaptive Computing ® Networks, in the overview tree.

b. Switch to change mode.

c. Choose New Entries.

d. Enter the required data.

e. Save your entries and go back.

3. Create computer pools:

a. Choose Adaptive Computing ® Computer Pools List, in the overview tree.

b. Switch to change mode.

c. Choose New Entries.

¡ For JAVA systems:

...

i. Go to the system via Landscape Components ® System Components ® JAVA System, in the overview tree.

ii. Continue from 5 iv).

Result

You can now control the load of your servers dynamically.

You call the dynamic server assignment (Adaptive Computing) with Adaptive Computing ® Adaptive Computing Controller in the overview tree in the Solution Manager System Landscape (transaction SMSY).
