Responding to Dynamic Changes in the Application Server Environment

The outbound adapter configuration can respond to dynamic changes to such clustered environments in terms of detecting addition or removal of application servers to or from the cluster. The outbound adapter configuration automatically registers itself with all active application servers in a cluster and receives and processes messages from the servers.

To achieve this, the outbound adapter configuration is to be run in conjunction with a Discovery Agent that is supplied with the adapter Run-time environment installation. The following figure explains the steps involved in this dynamic discovery scenario, for gw1 and gw2 are the gateway hosts through which the SAP application servers communicate to the outbound adapter configuration.
