• Key Concepts: 
  Instance affinity is a feature of the SAP Event Stream Processor (ESP) component of the SAP Business Suite. It allows for the assignment of a specific instance of an ESP application to a particular server or cluster of servers. This ensures that the application is always running on the same server, which can help improve performance and reliability.
  
  How to use it: 
  To use instance affinity, you must first configure the ESP application to use it. This can be done in the ESP configuration file. Once configured, the ESP application will be assigned to a specific server or cluster of servers when it is deployed. This ensures that the application will always run on the same server or cluster of servers, regardless of where it is deployed.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When configuring instance affinity, it is important to consider the size and complexity of your application. If your application is large and complex, it may be beneficial to assign it to multiple servers or clusters of servers in order to ensure optimal performance and reliability.
