• Key Concepts: 
  Workload distribution is a feature of the SAP Enterprise Portal (EP) PIN Portal Infrastructure component. It allows for the distribution of workloads across multiple servers, allowing for better performance and scalability. This is done by using a load balancer to distribute the workloads across multiple servers. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use workload distribution, you must first configure the load balancer. This involves setting up the load balancer to recognize the different servers and their respective workloads. Once this is done, the load balancer will automatically distribute the workloads across the servers. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When configuring the load balancer, it is important to ensure that all of the servers are properly configured and that they are able to handle the workloads that are being distributed. Additionally, it is important to monitor the performance of the servers to ensure that they are not being overloaded.
