In this IMG activity, you can set up a server group and assign servers to it for Contractual Allocation (CA) background processing purposes.
Setting up a server group can be useful because without it, standard CA processing will create background jobs across all available background processes within an SAP system via standard batch process load balancing. Then, if a large amount of allocation jobs are submitted at the same time, all available background process queues will be filled and other jobs of equal priority will not be able to execute in a timely manner. This may present a problem for customers with particular business practices.
However, with a CA server group, the contractual allocation process can then target specific servers during job submission. (When you set up a server group, you specify a limited number of servers within the group.) Then, during the contractual allocation job submission, all contractual allocation background jobs will be submitted in a round robin manner only to those servers that you specified within the server group. This allows other application servers to remain available for other processes within the SAP system.
- Note: The SAP concept of server groups is used in a load balancing context. RFC server groups are used in asynchronous remote function calls which utilizies dialog processes. However, CA executes purely in the background utilizing batch processes. NONE of the load balancing configuration attached to the CA server group which the customer can create is considered because of this.

Activities
Use this activity to set up a Contractual Allocation server group and assign servers to it.
1. At the CCMS: RFC Server Group Maintenance screen, review the Log-on group (that is, the server group), the Instance (that is, the specific server), and the Status (that is, the status of the assignment of the server to the server group).
2. Choose Create Assignment to access the Create Assignment dialog box, and then enter a name for the server group in the Server group field as well as the name of the server to include in the server group in the Instance field.
3. Complete other fields in the Create Assignment dialog box as required and choose Copy. Then save your entries.
After you have assigned the server(s) to the server group, use the Assign Server Group to Contractual Allocation activity, which you can access in Customizing under Industry Solution Oil & Gas (Production and Revenue Accounting) -> Sales and Balancing -> Assign Server Group to Contractual Allocation, to assign the CA server group to CA batch processing.
