Click the Connection Settings link in the left navigation pane to open the<br />
Connection Settings page. It enables you to configure the load balancer between<br />
the mid tier servers and the AR <strong>System</strong> servers without a “sticky bit.”<br />
<strong>BMC</strong> recommends configuring a load balancer between the mid tier servers and<br />
the AR <strong>System</strong> servers without using a “sticky bit” (session affinity). If your system<br />
uses a hardware load balancer between the mid tier and AR <strong>System</strong> servers, make<br />
sure the Enable Lifespan check box is selected on the Connection Settings page.<br />
This configuration allows sessions from any mid tier server to be distributed to any<br />
AR <strong>System</strong> server on the fly, and enables the system to rebalance in a timely<br />
manner if a server is added to or removed from the system. This top group of settings<br />
facilitates load rebalancing within a server group.<br />
The settings on the Connection Settings page enable you to limit the number of proxy<br />
connections and specify how long proxy connections can stay open. Whether the<br />
Connection Lifespan or Connection Timeout setting is met first determines the number of<br />
current idle connections, which is displayed in the Idle column in the Connection Pool<br />
Status area.<br />
