Requirements for Each Integration Server in a Cluster
The requirements of each Integration Server in a given cluster are given below:
*All Integration Servers in a cluster must be of the same version.
*All Ariba Supplier OnRamp instances in a cluster must be of the same version.
*All the Ariba Supplier OnRamp packages on one Integration Server should be replicated to all other Integration Servers in the cluster.
*An identical Ariba Supplier OnRamp connection must appear on all servers in the cluster so that any Integration Server in the cluster can handle a given request identically.
*Each Ariba Supplier OnRamp service must appear on all servers in the cluster so that any Integration Server in the cluster can handle the request identically.
If you allow different Integration Servers to contain different services, you might not derive the full benefits of clustering. For example, if a client requests a service that resides on only one server, and that server is unavailable, the request cannot be successfully redirected to another server.
