Note: Use this procedure only if you don’t want to use standalone web dispatcher or any DNS tools for load balancing of your ABAP systems.

1.       Make below entry in services file in the PCs in which you want to have logon load balancing to login to

       the system.

Sapms<SID><one tab space>     36<Central Instance Instance number>/tcp

Eg:  If my SAP system SID is SAT and the Central instance number is “00” then the entry should look like below:

                sapmsSAT           3600/tcp
