4.3.4 Defining a load balancer

Defines a load balancer.

If the Smart Composer functionality is not used to set up the load balancer or to start and shut down the real server port, there is no need to define a load balancer (from the <load-balancer> tag through the </load-balancer> tag). Note that the load balancer need not be defined in the system for executing batch applications.
