Service Marketplace server’s connection

Having troubles while browsing service market place (also known as OSS)? Same with me; I usually start with http://service.sap.com; I log in via S-User ID and this redirects me to one of application servers which have hostnames like websmpXXX.sap-ag.de. Then sometimes some links are not working from this server – as server seems to be broken. This seems to be often caused by overloaded particular server websmpXXX. Server farm of OSS is suppose to be working with load balancing concept but this problem on some conditions still persists. Therefore it can be very quickly solved by switching to other server directly in URL path in your browser.

E.g. introduction page of OSS can be switched from websmp209 to websmp203.

Here’s list of few websmpXXX which are working:

websmp105.sap-ag.de

websmp103.sap-ag.de

websmp108.sap-ag.de

websmp109.sap-ag.de

websmp130.sap-ag.de

websmp201.sap-ag.de

websmp202.sap-ag.de

websmp230.sap-ag.de
