In this IMG activity, you can dedicate a server group to be used in your system, which will then be used solely for background allocation processing. You can have the server process volume background allocation (VA) in Production, and you can select individual servers to be used in that server group. Note that this activity is optional. You can choose to do it, in order to make volume allocation performance better.
By dedicating a server group to allocation background processing, you can avoid a situation in which allocation processing using a delivery network group could cause batch processes within an SAP system to have too many allocation jobs, thus not allowing other jobs to be run in a performant manner. The solution is to allow VA / CA allocations to target a selected group of servers, instead of all available servers within an SAP system.
The assignment that you set up here will be read by the volume allocation process during job submission, in order to determine which servers will be used.
You can put volume allocation on one dedicated server group, or you can put VA on a server group, together with CA (Contractual Allocation) background processing.
