Goal

This document aims to help a customer check persistence settings on F5 BigIP and Cisco ACE load balancer appliances.  It provides general guidance on checking persistence settings on the hardware device to ensure correct eBusiness suite functioning.

Maintaining session persistence is essential to ensuring a users session remains on the same middle tier throughout the duration of their session. When the session is not maintained on the one middle tier users may experience the 'Transaction context is lost' message See <Note 456906.1>.

Session Persistence is the act of keeping a specific user's traffic going to the same server that was initially hit when the site was contacted for the first HTTP transaction. This is especially important for E-Business Suite as various modules bundled with the suite need to maintain session state. Session persistence is sometimes referred to as "server stickiness."
