Abstract
Populating a routing dataset for a load balancing system with service capability data is provided. The approach includes requesting a production environment to perform a service. Based on the production environment indicating that it does not have the capability of performing the requested service, the method includes storing data in a routing dataset, the data including an indicator indicating that the production environment is incapable of performing the service.
Claims17
A computer-implemented method of populating a routing dataset for a load balancing system with service capability data, the method comprising:
- requesting, by the load balancing system, computational processing of a production environment to perform a service, the production environment comprising one or more processing systems configured for processing computational workload, and the requesting comprising sending a request to the production environment for the computational processing to perform the service;
- and
- based on the production environment indicating, by providing an indication in response to the request, that the production environment is incapable of performing the computational processing to perform the service:
- generating, by the load balancing system, service capability data comprising a first indicator, the first indicator indicating that the production environment is incapable of performing the computational processing to perform the service;
- and
- storing, by the load balancing system, the service capability data comprising the first indicator in the routing dataset so as to populate the routing dataset with at least the first indicator, wherein the load balancing system is configured to use the routing dataset to determine which of different available production environments is to handle performance of varying services.
A computer program product for generating service capability data for populating a routing dataset for a load balancing system, the computer program product comprising:
- a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a processing unit to cause the processing unit to perform a method comprising:
- requesting, by the load balancing system, computational processing of a production environment to perform a service, the production environment comprising one or more processing systems configured for processing computational workload, and the requesting comprising sending a request to the production environment for the computational processing to perform the service;
- and
- based on the production environment indicating, by providing an indication in response to the request, that the production environment is incapable of performing the computational processing to perform the service:
- generating, by the load balancing system, service capability data comprising a first indicator, the first indicator indicating that the production environment is incapable of performing the computational processing to perform the service;
- and
- storing, by the load balancing system, the service capability data comprising the first indicator in the routing dataset so as to populate the routing dataset with at least the first indicator, wherein the load balancing system is configured to use the routing dataset to determine which of different available production environments is to handle performance of varying services.
A system for generating service capability data for populating the routing dataset for a load balancing system, the system comprising:
