Best way to configure search toplogoy for multiple servers farm??

Hi,
My farm environment is 2 WFE and 2 App servers. Right now i am trying to configure Search Topology. what will be the best way to configure the search topology for this farm, so that query and crawling will be working perfectly. one thing i noticed with my
previous search application Crawl DB had grown 140 GB, i dont know why it happened. please look at the following screen shot, this the current topology but i want to distribute component to different server.
Any help will be appreciated!!

The best topology depends on whether you want it to be fault tolerant or not. For a fault tolerant design with this number of servers I normally create two Index Partitions 0 and 1 with each on one of the App servers.  I then create Replicas of each
partition on the front end servers. I then put the query role on both web fronts ends and the crawl role on both Ap servers.  So I end up with the following:
FE1 = Index Replica 0 + Query
FE2 = Index Replica 1 + Query
Ap1 = Index 0 + Crawl
Ap2 = Index 1 + Crawl

  • What is the best way to create shared variable for multiple PXI(Real-Time) to GUI PC?

    What is the best way to create shared variable for multiple Real time (PXI) to GUI PC? I have 16 Nos of PXI system in network and 1 nos of GUI PC. I want to send command to all the PXI system with using single variable from GUI PC(Like Start Data acquisition, Stop data Acquisition) and I also want data from each PXI system to GUI PC display purpose. Can anybody suggest me best performance system configuration. Where to create variable?(Host PC or at  individual PXI system).

    Dear Ravens,
    I want to control real-time application from host(Command from GUI PC to PXI).Host PC should have access to all 16 sets PXI's variable. During communication failure with PXI, Host will stop data display for particular station.
    Ravens Fan wrote:
    Either.  For the best performance, you need to determine what that means.  Is it more important for each PXI machine to have access to the shared variable, or for the host PC to have access to all 16 sets of variables?  If you have slowdown or issue with the network communication, what kinds of problems would it cause for each machine?
    You want to located the shared variable library on whatever machine is more critical.  That is probably each PXI machine, but only you know your application.

    The best is you use ASM (maybe you do it already) and put one failure group on the first disk array and the second failure group on the second array. Then you can ASM let do the work.

  • What's the best way to manage Apple IDs for multiple devices?

    Hi,
    We have
    a shared Macbook air
    a shared iPad
    my iPhone
    his iPhone
    We want to put one ID on the Macbook and iPad that we can use to have the same iMessage on both and that we can put a card on and use in the iTunes store etc.
    We also want to have our own iMessages on our iPhones, plus be able to use the account with the cards on them to purchase and share across devices...
    What's the best way to manage them all?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    iTunes is straight forward, just use the same ID on all of them.
    What exactly do you want to see in messages on the Mac and iPad, messages combined from each of your phones or a different account just for both of you.
    You should think about what you want in calendars, contacts etc, on your shared devices.

  • What is best way of configuring the channels for the PXI box

    Hi,
    All these days I was using a SC-2345 box and a PCMCIA card and I created all my virtual channels as traditional NI-DAQ channels. Now I am using the PXI box, I am wondering whether I still use same traditional NI-DAQ channels or shall I use NI-DAQmx channels. I would like to know what are the advantages of using the NI-DAQmx channels and also using the DAQmx VI's in the labview programming.
    Thanks,
    Mudda.

    Hi Mudda,
    I think it depends on what PXI measurement modules you are using. I'm using PXI4461 for audio measurement and the card supports DAQmx only. I also have PXI5112 digitizer card and it uses the NI-Scope driver. So you need to check which driver your module supports.
    You can find advantage of DAQmx here. http://zone.ni.com/devzone/conceptd.nsf/webmain/B1C2A3BC3228AEA186256D2500640D52?opendocument

  • What is the best way to configure password in Cisco IOS?

    I am running IOS 15.2(4) on a 1921 Router
    What is the best way to configure the password for the router?  I have already tried once and managed to lock myself out of another switch.  I would like to use the most secure method which encrypts the password.
    Current Config:
    username admin privilege 15 password 0 cisco123

    Cisco IOS will not let me use a type 5 password.  This is the error message I receive: 
    ERROR: The secret you entered is not a valid encrypted secret.
    To enter an UNENCRYPTED secret, do not specify type 5 encryption.
    When you properly enter an UNENCRYPTED secret, it will be encrypted.
    I tried generating an MD5 hash and inputting that in and that did not work either.  When I do not specify type 5 it will default to using an encrypted type 4 password.
    Also, what is the difference between these two enable secret commands?
    enable secret 5 password
    username admin privilege 15 secret 5 password

  • More than 16 midi tracks....best way to configure?

    What's the best way to configure more than 16 midi tracks?
    1) External usb midi box
    2) Virtual ports
    3) Apple IAC ports
    4) Disconnect SUM and connect ports to channel splitters (which are then fed to the instruments)
    When configuring more than 16 audio instruments, is the best way to do that to use individual midi instruments as the front end for each, setting the midi port and channel on the midi instrument?
    Or...is it better to go through the channel splitters (like in #4 above)?
    I've run into some kind of midi cross-talk anomaly that I can't find (still after a LONG time searching), and I can't help but think it might be in my environment setup somehow.
    Anybody like a good mystery? All help appreciated!!!
    Cheers,
    S.

    Hi,
    Firstly, please get rid of the term VST. Logic only uses Audio Units, and they work a little differently "behind the scenes".
    Ok. Now that you said the magic "only internal" synths phrase:
    In the current Environment, I've made a separate "midi instrument" for each "audio instrument" device. I'm using the "midi instrument" to set the port and channel of each separately.
    You do not need to do this. Because you are using internal synths (If you clue us in on WHICH ones....that could help too...unless that is a State Secret)
    Somehow, I've managed to get the problem down to one annoying item: I have a chimes part that has some sustained notes that are being CUT OFF in mid-note. There is nothing in the Event List for that track that would explain this, so I'm guessing that the track must be receiving some midi data from someplace else.
    My best guess is that you are playing back a Midi note that is, say XXX length, and the SAMPLE is only XX length. That would explain immediately why it is being "cut off".
    OR...there is simply too much midi data at that point that the track....no that can't be because the music is thin there. I don't know. I just can't find it.
    THAT is a delicious piece of speculation. Please inform yourself about what is really going on. Your posted question is totally misleading.
    You don't need 16 tracks of Midi because ONE sound is not playing back the way you want. Your problem has NOTHING to do with the question that you put forth:
    More than 16 midi tracks....best way to configure?
    Where is the cut-off chime sound sample in this question??? Nowhere... and nowhere is the answer...oops...
    I can't help you further, as I already spent a long time helping you set up an imaginary Midi setup that does not even exist, nor even solves your issue.

  • One search help for multiple select-options in webdynpro abap

    Hi,
    I need a way to use one search help for multiple select-options fields. My scenario is :
    I have a table for keeping different organizational units' values of different systems. I have pasted some sample data from this table at the end of this mail. On the screen I want to have 1 select-options filed for werks, and 1 select-options filed for vkorg. (In fact I will have more org. unit fields...) In the beginning of my application the user will select sid.
    If the user selects ADS as SID, when he opens search-help for the first org. unit (werks), he will see the records with SID: ADS, VARBL = $WERKS, LANGU = SY-LANGU.
    If the user selects AGT as SID, when he opens search-help for the second org. unit (vkorg), he will see the records with SID: AGT, VARBL = $VKORG, LANGU = SY-LANGU.
    I have created a search-help taking SIDD, VARBL and LANGU as import parameters; used field mapping and bound this search help to my table. I have created 2 context nodes : org1 and org2 having attributes SID, VARBL, VALUE, LANGU .
    I have assigned related SID, VARBL and Langu values to these attributes at runtime as I needed. That way, if I use input field and reference to the related context attributes org1-value and org2-value2 accordingly, search help works well as I want.
    However, when I use select-options field , I can not bind the field to the context data. I can give reference only to ddic structure. Is there any way to reference to a context attribute? I searched for this in SDN, but could find nothing.
    I think I won't be able to use this way. What do you say?
    As I read from forums maybe using OVS help will be suitable for me. But I have to use one search-help for all select-options fields. Do you know how I can determine the active select-options field and pass its name (for instance "werks" ) as parameter to this OVS search help. (Also I'll pass SID and LANGU.)
    MY TABLE (ZBYYT080) CONTENTS:
    SID     VARBL     VALUE     LANGU     VTEXT

    Hi,
    Your ques is how to refer to a DDIC search help to refer to selection screen parameter ?
    Am I right ?
    If Yes, then in the interface IF_WD_SELECT_OPTIONS
    method ADD_SELECTION_FIELD, ADD_PARAMETER_FIELD etc
    have importing param like I_VALUE_HELP_TYPE and  I_VALUE_HELP_ID, I_VALUE_HELP_MODE, I_VALUE_HELP_STRUCTURE
    etc which may help you to link your create DDIC Search help to selection screen params.
    this is just a clue from my side. I haven't tried it myself.
    You can go to the where used list of this method and find some sample implementations which use these params.
    Hope this helps.

  • Best Way to Manage iTunes Match for Family?

    So what's going to be the best way to handle iTunes Match with multiple iThing users in the family? I've got an iPhone (with an associated AppleID), my wife has an iPhone (with her own AppleID) and is getting an iPad for Christmas. The kids both have hand-me-down previous generation iPhones (currently set to Airplane mode for use as iPods, but perhaps with their own AppleIDs in the future).
    All of our music (about 10,000 songs) is ripped and stored in iTunes, under my AppleID, but I'd like for all family members to be able to access the family's music collection. How am I supposed to handle this? Do I have to associate all of the iThings with my AppleID? If so, what are the other consequences of that going to be?

    Mine is still uploading/matching; so far, I am able to see the song list with the little cloud icon indicating (I guess) that that song is available on Match. I can also see the same list on another computer running iTunes and logged into Match.
    However, I can't figure out how to access the service from my iPhone. Never mind; just found the "Use iTunes Match" option in System Settings. Signed in, agreed to the "your music will be replaced" warning....and nothing happens. I'm going to assume for the time being that it's because my library isn't finished updating.

  • What is the "best" way to configure iTunes on an iMac with personal user acounts so each user can access the media library but sync devices on their personal user account?

    I am trying to determine the best way to set up our imac so each user account can access the same media (songs, movies etc.) through itunes and also back up and manage their personal devices under their own personal user account.  There are 4 users on our iMac.  Me, my wife, and our 2 children.  We have built an extensive library of music/media together using the same iTunes store account.  I would like to establish a seperate apple id and iTunes store account for each of us going forward but have the ability for each of us to share our purchases.  What is the best way to configure our system and devices in order to allow shared access to media and at the same time allow for individual management of devices including contacts, apps, photos, etc. Please help, I would like to do this once!
    Thank you in advance! 

    OK, seeing as no-one replied (presumably because a lot of this information is on the forums in bits elsewhere) here's how I've got on so far.
    Applications - just went through them.  About the only one I needed was my media server app.  Just downloaded and re-installed, had a quick look back though my email to find the license key and it all went on fine.  Installation never seemed quite right on my old machine so solved that problem too. 
    Movies - New iMovies just copied across the clips and projects into their respective folders.  Seems to have worked but haven't checked it all that thoroughly.  Some duplicate footage here but I can trim this out at some point when I get a chance to go through here. 
    Documents - Just copied these across. 
    Photos - used an app called iPhoto Library Manager.  You can download for free but have to pay to use the part that consolidates your libraries.  Possibly if I was willing to spend a bit more time I could have got away without using this but given I didn't know the state of my different libraries and just how many duplicates I had this was too much of a convenience to ignore.  Also got my library into a state where I can now spend a few hours organising it a bit better with Faces / Events etc. 
    Not attempted Music or iPhone sync yet as been stuck trying to solve a problem with my power adapter. 

  • Advice on best way to setup Disaster Recovery for SOA Suite 10.1.3.4

    Hi Everyone,
    I need some advice on the best way to setup Disaster Recovery for a SOA Suite 10.1.3.4 install deploying JSF/ADF OC4J applications.
    The way we are trying to do it at the moment is manually copy the "applications" and "applications-deployments" folders for the OC4J application on the production server, then compress and ship the files across to the DR application server nightly. (We don't require high availability).
    In the event of a disaster we then extract the files and copy to the OC4J instance (pre-created and configured) on the DR server. Unfortunately to date we haven't been able to reliably setup a DR application (seem to mostly get 404 errors etc), even though the OC4J application has its connection pool resolved to the DR database and is showing as "up" in the ASConsole.
    My question is, is there a more "native" way to do what we are trying to do. We do not have Enterprise version of SOA Suite or 11g database so any advanced recovery features are not an option. The setup is also stand alone, i.e. we are not using clustering or RAC etc.
    Any ideas would be really helpful.
    Thanks,
    Leigh.
    PS we are also running the production apps server with Oracle Application server 10g 10.1.2.3.0 as the HTTP apache server (with Forms, Reports and Discoverer deployed) and the SOA Suite 10.1.3 applications use the 10.1.2 HTTP server via the HTTP to AJP bridge. So the 10.1.3 OC4J instance is configured to use AJP on port range 12501 - 12600.

    For enterprise solutions, AS Guard would work.
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25221_04/core.1013/b15977/disasrecov.htm#sthref303
    However, since advanced recovery options are not available (as you said), then what you are doing should not be too bad.

  • Best Way to Define Employee Numbering For Different Countries

    HI all
    I am working on for a project which will be for Multiple countries.But Each country has different Instances.Now the questions is What could be the Best way to Define Employee numbering for all the Regions ? As for as My knowledge goes It would be Number prefixed by Country.Then How we can have Alpha numeric in employee Coding ? We need to have Fast Formula to Ahieve this task.If any body has come across this scenario please share your thoughts .Any thoughts are greatly Appreciated.
    Cheers
    Kumar cs

    If you have each country on a different instance and you want employees to retain their employee number on transfer between countries, I believe you have two options:
    i) Use manual numbering. One recent change to the system is that you can update the numbering profile from Auto to Manual and back to Auto again. So you could potentially leverage this manual workaround when a cross BG transfer happens.
    ii) Bespoke module to export all emp numbers into a 'central repository', e.g., flat file, that can be accessed by all instances, imported regularly and then referenced by your Fast Formula. You would also need processing to determine when a person is a transfer from another BG or a new hire; probably have to be some control field on flex. Basically, this is a requirement made difficult by the decision to host each legislation on a different instance; I would never recommend clients to go down this route but I guess it's too late in your case.
    If cross BG transfers are not common, e.g., less than 5 a week, I would recommend option 1.

  • Best way to configure a network comprising WLSE and many APs ?

    Hi the Cisco NetPro community,
    I would like to have a discussion with you on the best way to configure a network containing a WLSE and a large amount of Access Points.
    The network I want to configure comprises some subnetnorks, each comprising about 10 access points (with some advanced settings for security). It might be a quite long and boring process to set the configuration for all those, so I am looking for the quickest and easiest solution to do so.
    First of all, the configuration of IP addresses have to be done on each Access Point after unpacking it. The configuration of my network comprises 1 WDS active AP, 1 WDS backup AP and the rest of infrastructure APs, that for each developement site.
    I thought about several solutions :
    - 1st solution could be to apply a configuration file (i.e. load the config.txt file) to each AP manually, changing some values (IP, local radius...).
    But problem is that passwords can't be changed with text editor because of the passwords written in "hash".
    - 2nd solution could be to configure each AP (after IP is set) using its web interface.
    No more problem for hash written passwords, but this method is quite boring when surfing on menu pages of the AP web interface...
    - 3rd solution, which could appear as the best solution, is to create a template on the WLSE, and to apply it to all APs.
    No more boring connection to each AP, but problem are : we need to create as many templates as APs (or change some parameters each time), and we still need to set parameters directly to APs before (SNMP, SSH, WDS configuration...), in order the WLSE to manage the APs.
    So, what do you think could be the best solution in order to deploy such a network with many APs ?
    How is it possible to avoid (so far as we can) the configuration of APs one by one ?
    Thanks a lot in advance for your consideration and your ideas !
    Alexis.

    Well for one of my clients that had over 60 sites, we actually created a couple of templates. We created a basic template and a template for each site. You can have the ap's obtain the configuration from the WLSE, but you need to configure a DHCP option. My client did mac address reservations, but of course you need the mac address first. I guess you can also let the ap get an address and change it later. They tried doing different things, first let the ap obtain a default config and then pushing out the configuration for that site.
    As for the hash, you can set the password in ascii... when you do a show run, then of cours it will be hash'd.
