SAP Note 1626778 - Consulting: Load distribution of BW background jobs

Component : Data Staging - Process Chains

Summary :
In an SAP BW environment with multiple servers, imbalanced job distribution across servers can occur, leading to increased load on certain servers. The issue stems from how background management and job allocation are programmed, which is detailed in SAP Note 24092. To mitigate this, evaluate and implement the recommendations provided in SAP Notes 1508504 and 1530713 for better load balancing. Additionally, consider fine-tuning the distribution mechanism through the correction instructions in SAP Notes 1370135 and 1365502, which improve the round robin algorithm and server reservation tactics. Integrate the server group SAP_DEFAULT_BTC via transaction SM61 to manage jobs without a specified server more efficiently.
