To run web service requests on a grid, you must configure an external HTTP load balancer. If you do not configure an external HTTP load balancer, the Data Integration Service runs the web service on the node that receives the request.
To configure load balancing, specify the logical URL for the load balancer in the Data Integration Service properties. Then, configure the external load balancer to distribute web service requests to all nodes in the grid that have both the service and compute roles.
Complete the following steps in the
Administrator tool
to configure the Data Integration Service to communicate with the external HTTP load balancer:
On the
Services and Nodes
view, select the Data Integration Service in the Domain Navigator.
Select the
Properties
tab.
In the
Web Service Properties
section, click
Edit
.
The
Edit Web Service Properties
window appears.
Enter the logical URL for the external HTTP load balancer, and then click
OK
.
Configure the external load balancer to distribute requests to all nodes in the grid that have both the service and compute roles.
