Hi folks
My question relates to SAP systems where there is a central DBCI instance along with additional remote appservers.
From a performance POV we want to minimize load on the DBCI instance from users logging in directly there and running stuff --- instead want to force all users to logon to some remote appserver.
I am well aware of SMLG logon groups and how these can be part of this strategy to shift user load where you want it. But in many cases, as an admin, we are not able to dictate what sort of sap logon pad configuration end users set up on their own PC! So despite being told not to do it, many users still configure their sap logon pad w/ the DBCI server name directly.
What I really want to know here is -------------------does SAP have any built-in functionality to help here? Seems like this must be a common issue for customers so they should have something. At our company we have some customization/tool which we CAN try to use to help accomplish this (tool uses special Z* tables and Z* programs) but it's not ideal for us to put in so much extra customization (we'd rather use something standard w/ SAP).
Please advise --- thanks
