Abstract
Workload management of a computing environment is facilitated. A location service agent located within a server instance of the computing environment is used to facilitate workload management of the computing environment. The location service agent receives a request for an object of the computing environment. The location service agent then requests a workload manager of the server instance to determine which server instance of a plurality of server instances is to handle the request. The request is forwarded to the selected server instance using a direct reference.
