Component load balancing

In the base configuration, Guidewire provides several default strategies for managing the load balancing of messaging destinations, message processors, and startable services within the PolicyCenter cluster. Use plugin BackgroundTaskLoadbalancingPlugin to manage the load balancing process.

Load balancing strategies

In the base configuration, Guidewire provides the following strategies for load balancing components.

Work stealing

The work stealing strategy periodically transfers a component lease from an over-utilized server to a server that is under-utilized.

Work acquisition

The work acquisition strategy provides under-utilized servers with a chance to acquire a lease on an available component.
