Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D 🗳️
Load balancers. These are used to distribute traffic to virtual machines in the application-tier subnet. For high availability, use the built-in SAP Web Dispatcher,
Azure Load Balancer, or network appliances, depending on the traffic type (such as HTTP or SAPGUI) or the required network services, such as Secure Sockets
Layer (SSL) termination.

Ans - D. The Web Dispatcher component is used as a load balancer for SAP traffic among the SAP application servers. To achieve high availability of the SAP Web Dispatcher, Azure Load Balancer implements either the failover cluster or the parallel Web Dispatcher setup.

Ans:C. The Web Dispatcher is a load balancing component for HTTP/HTTPS requests. It can't be used for validate the load distribution to the application servers on Azure. For validation, you need the Azure Monitor.

Azure Monitor or Solman both are correct . However the former can only check at OS level load while Solman can check inside the SAP application eg. dialog response time . So I will go with Solman

going into very details...look back the question once again: You need to validate the load distribution to the application servers. What should you use? I will go with Solution Manager for validation ...WDS does the load distribution but SolMan captures the real time load into different app servers. Azure monitor does not really check load across apps.

The question is asking to "validate" the solution... hence Azure Monitor. With Azure Monitor you can generate key metrics to validate your architecture.

B & C are possible answers. C can provide only up to CPU level while B can provide more in depth info about load distribution. B for me.

The answer should be A. SAPControl. Because the Web Dispatcher is a load balancing component, it cannot be used for validation the load distribution to the AS. The SAPControl can be used for monitoring whether the application servers are working normally. please refer to: https://m1bc.home.blog/2019/09/09/getsysteminstancelist-duplicate-entries/

no sapcontrol is just used for checking whether all SAP processes are properly running or not for specific instance. Correct answer is Web Dispatcher
