Creating a new server in BO XIR3.1

Hi all, just installed XI R3.1 + SP3 on a Solaris platform. But when I tried to create a new webi proc server from within the Central Management ConsoleI found that the option was disabled. We are using a 3 CPU license, which I originally thought was the problem, but we put in an evaluation license and it made no difference. Why can't I create a new server ?

Hi Peter, just wondering, at your initial installation, did you select WebI as part of the installation? I am not familiar with UNIX set up, but in Windows Server, I normally add additional server using Central Configuration Manager (CCM). In the UNIX world, it is a command line tool.
If you are using the BusinessObjects tool, you should join [ASUG|www.asug.com]

SunONE Web Server 6.1 on linux: can't create a new server

Hi all
When we try to create a new server from the Admin server ("Add Server" button), and after fill the form and click OK, we get the following error in the "errors" log file of the admin server:
[23/Oct/2003:11:25:35] failure (14588): for host 10.95.4.28 trying to POST /https-admserv/bin/install, cgi_scan_headers reports: HTTP4044: the CGI program /opt/SUNWwbsvr/bin/https/admin/bin/install did not produce a valid header (program terminated without a valid CGI header. Check for core dump or other abnormal termination)
As I told in the subject, web server is installed on a linux (red hat) box
Is it a bug in the WebServer 6.1? for linux or for solaris too?
Regards

Hmmmm, well stick with the 7.2 version and let's see if we can figure this out.
What version of perl is on the box?

I have restarted the jrun server, deleted the temp files in servers/admin, and rebooted the windows servers. All with no effect. I was able to create a new server on the box just a few days ago.

VM stuck on Running (provisioning) after 3 days and 3 attempts at creating a new server

We have created 2 virtual machines successfully, one is a domain controller and DNS server and the 2nd is a web server. We used Powershell scripts to achieve this.
We are trying to create a 3rd web server using the same powershell scripts as prevously, obviously though changing the service, server name and IP
addressing details but after 3 days of trying and 3 or 4 attempts the server sticks at Running (Provisioning)... then after over 24hrs displays Running (Provisioning timed out). Meanwhile my credit is almost depleted and I haven't yet got the 3rd running server!
This is our script,
New-AzureVMConfig -Name "Servername" -InstanceSize “Small” –Image “a699494373c04fc0bc8f2bb1389d6106__Win2K8R2SP1-Datacenter-201412.01-en.us-127GB.vhd”
| Set-AzureSubnet –SubnetNames “Subnet-1”| Add-AzureProvisioningConfig -Windows -AdminUsername “Adminuser” -Password “password” | New-AzureVM -ServiceName "Servicename" –ReservedIPName “IP002” -Location "North Europe" –VNetName “NorthEUVNet”
How do we solve this?
We are intending using the platform to host UAT servers for our customers but we will not able to do so if we cannot build servers in a realistic
time frame. By realistic I mean within 2 hours not 2 days then it fails!
Amazon Web Services EC2 here we come!

Hi,
Thanks for posting here.
Request you to provide the exact error message when you run this script.
Is this an image file(.vhd), have you sysprep the image.
Did you run sysprep with generalize before uploading the custom VHD?
Is an unattend.xml on the VHD itself, maybe in %windir%\Panther\Unattend.xml, that could be conflicting with the one on the provisioning ISO?
When the VM is provisioned, an ISO is attached with an unattend.xml that drives sysprep to do things like set the computer name and enable RDP.
Try with a different location other than North Europe for test purpose.
Also, try adding the VM using Management portal. Sometimes this would be even more easier to host a VM.
Hope this helps you.

Problem creating a new Glassfish 4 server with Oracle Tools for Kepler

Hello,
I installed Oracle Tools for Kepler with no problem. But when I want to create a new server and fill in the directory to the server (which is valid, C:/glassfish4/glassfish), nothing happens. I can only click 'back' or 'cancel'.
There is no error message.
Is this a bug in Eclipse or Oracle Tools, or do I do something wrong ?
Thanks in advance for help.

Hi,
Could you let us know where you installed the GlassFish tools plugins from ?
Glassfish 4 support in OEPE has been available since Glassfish was released in June. But it looks like a bug may have been introduced in the latest build available on http://download.java.net/glassfish/ which does not exist in the version available at http://download.oracle.com/otn_software/oepe/12.1.2.1/kepler/repository
The workaround on the version you are running is to enter a dummy password value and this should allow you to create the Glassfish 4 server.
I will be filing a bug to track this issue
thanks

OVM 3.0.3: Create new Server Pool but keep storage repositories?

Hi,
I think I have somewhat messed up my Server pool a bit, such as that there are some kind of network bridges in the server pool which I cannot get rid of, since OVMM insists that these have vnics associated to them, when none of my VMs had any nic configured.
So, I guess my only option is to re-create the server pool entirely and migrating VMs between server pools doesn't seem to be possible. I was wondering, I if could at least keep the storage repositories and get away with only creating a new server pool and adding the VM servers to the new pool, but keeping the VM files in the repositories. This will likely make this transition much more smooth, than having to copy all the VMs from the repositories onto a temporary storage and back into the new storage repositories.
Cheers,
budy

Check the network configuration of the templates installed into your repositories and change the bridges to real/proper ones. Once you've done that, you'll be able to delete the unusued bridges.

It's possible to change this, but you need to contact Oracle Support to do so. I'd recommend first trying to unmap the existing bridges as described above.

File system error while creating a virtual server

Hi
I get the following error when I create a virtual server:
File System Error: Could not create directory /opt/SUNWwbsvr/https-web-content (permission denied)
The admin server is owned by root but the instance that I want to create should be owned by webservd - like the other instance that is installed.
this error shows that web server is unable to create a directory under SUNWwbsvr folder. Any hints pls?
thanks!

sorry this error is while creating a new server instance - not a new virtual server.

Can't create a new SQL Azure Standard Tier db

I'm having an issue creating a new sql azure standard tier db. Here's the basic steps I've done to migrate a web tier db.
Register for the sql preview programme
https://account.windowsazure.com/PreviewFeatures
Perform a db export to blob storage
use the + (new) button to create a new SQL db
select the import option
browser to your saved export
hopefully see the new tiers as options in dialog.
The new tiers require a separate server to web. Can create this from the import dialog
I have 2 independent azure accounts, the above process worked for my test account but for the live account where I was also experimenting after success on the test account I hit an issue. I request to create a new server whilst importing. This step seems
to work but then the actual import fails with this msg
"Error encountered during the service operation.
Could not import package.
Error SQL72014: .Net SqlClient Data Provider: Msg 40823, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Invalid value provided for parameter EDITION. Please provide a value that is valid on server version 1.0.
Error SQL72045: Script execution error. The executed script:
CREATE DATABASE [$(DatabaseName)] COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS
(EDITION = 'Standard', MAXSIZE = 1 GB)"
Tried a couple of times but no joy. Using the portal I can browse to the new sql server and it looks okay other than the list of ENABLED
RESERVATION SIZES ONLY HAS P1, P2, P3 I'm requesting a standard (s1) db not premium (P1, P2, P3). On my test server I see in this list also S1,
S2. As you can see in the error message I'm requesting Edition = Standard. I get the feeling the newly created server is not accepting standard tier dbs?
Now the server is created if I try an import I see the server in the list of available servers but when I select a tier of Basic or Standard the new server is grayed out, not so if I select Premium or the older Web or Business? Interestingly my current live
sql server shows up as supporting the new premium?
Thanks

Unable to create a new cluster on our domain

Hi there,
I am having difficulties creating a new server 2012 R2 failover cluster in our domain. We have a working 2008 R2 cluster that has been running fine for years now.
I have tried on different hardward with single nodes and multiple nodes when making the cluster. I can see the new cluster account is created in AD and I have triple checked all permissions required to create the cluster. The resulting errors
are:
Adding special permissions to the computer object failed. Trying to add 'Full-Access' permissions for security principal S-1-5-21-2379181152-2103701998-3253613930-1309 to computer object CN=VM-CLUSTER-1,OU=Servers,DC=HHS,DC=local failed. Verify that the
user running create cluster has permissions to update the computer object in Active Directory Domain Services. The parameter is incorrect.
An error occurred while creating the cluster and the nodes will be cleaned up. Please wait...
There was an error cleaning up the cluster nodes. Use Clear-ClusterNode to manually clean up the nodes.
An error occurred while creating the cluster.
The parameter is incorrect
To troubleshoot cluster creation problems, run the Validate a Configuration wizard on the servers you want to cluster.
Any suggestions on what could be causing this? My only current route of investigation is a currently missing domain controller account in AD as I assume this must be AD related.

Configure to new Server and Deploy a WebApplication

I need some informations about the applications deploy. I have developed two applications that accept as request SIP message "MESSAGE"; both the applications have in their sip.xml file, a mapping of this type:
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>serviceCallSipServlet</servlet-name>
<pattern>
<and>
<equal>
<var>request.method</var>
<value>MESSAGE</value>
</equal>
</and>
</pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
That involves that at the reception of this MESSAGE, we have a problem in specifying what application we refere to so there is a server error.
As a possible solution I have tried to create a new server through the console (Server -> Configure a new Server...)and I called it "myserver2".
Then I have created a new sipChannel associated to this new server(myserver2-> Protocols-> channel)using 5040 port instead of 5060 port.
I have finally deployed one of the two applications in this server after eliminating it from the other server(I have tried to change only the target).
The application is deployed on the new server (myserver2)but does not come deployed .
The server has been start:
/startWeblogic.sh for the standard.
/startManagendWebLogic.sh myserver2 http://localhost:7001 for the new server.
Is ok this way in order to have on the same able dominion two server to receive sip request from two various port?
If Yes how I can resolve the issue?
I can or I must use other way in order to resolve this problem?
Thanks...

iTunes is looking for a feed at http://www.gothamknightsonline.com/feed/?cat=10 and not finding it - checking this I don't get 'file not found' but if there is a file there it contains no data whatever.
I assume this is your original feed URL. The method for redirecting iTunes to another feed URL involves placing a special tag in the original feed, and is described in detail here:
http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/podcast.html#move
Your new feed contains this tag (effectively redirecting to itself); you need to place a copy of the feed, with the redirect tag, at the original URL and leave it there for a couple of weeks. If you are unable to do this the two alternatives are described in my article.

Add New Server with Configtool Questions

Hello All,
We are running EP7 SP12 on W2K3 with 16GB RAM and 4 CPUs.
As part of one the Go Live checks done to the system a while back, it was recommended that we increase the number of Server processes to the instance.
So, I followed the information here (http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/68/dcde416fb3c417e10000000a155106/frameset.htm) to add 3 additional servers to the instance. When I restarted the J2EE engine, it basically sat there in a 'Starting Apps' status. I waited about 2 hours before I stopped the startup process. I went back into Configtool and did a 'Remove Server' on the last, Server3, process and restarted J2EE. This time, everything did start OK, but now I have a few questions I hope someone can answer.
1. Is there a limit to the number of Server processes that can exist in a single instance? If not, what would cause the J2EE servers to essentially hang on startup although they didn't look hung, just extremely slow starting up.
2. I thought when you did the initial 'Add Server' it was supposed to create a duplicate Server process. But, when I check the directory structures of the newly created Server processes, they aren't anywhere close to being the same as the original Server0 process. For example, we have a custom redirect in place when people logon to the Portal, but this wasn't transferred/copied to the new Server1 or Server2. The same was true for other customizations. Also, when looking at the structure, Server0 has approx 80,000 files and 15,000 sub-folders. When looking at the new Server1 & Server2, they are both different in size in both files and folders in respect to each other and compared to Server0. Shouldn't they all be the same?
3. A follow up to question 2. If they aren't the same and they are supposed to be the same, can we just copy the missing files & folders from Server0 to the new Servers?
4. Lastly, since I did a 'Remove Server' in Configtool for Server3, it does not appear in the MMC when the J2EE engine starts. This I expect. But, it did not remove the directory structure for Server3. If I try to manually delete the Server3 directory, it simply says it is in use and won't let me delete the structure. So, is it safe to delete this structure since it isn't being used anymore? If so, I'll stop SAP and delete the structure offline. Do I have to do any database cleanup once I do this? If so, can someone point me to some documentation as to what needs to cleaned up in the DB and how?
Thanks,
Tom

Thanks for the info.
Interesting though. I open a message with SAP and posed these same questions. Their response was similar to yours, but it opened up a whole new set of questions. What follows is the text of that message for others to benefit from (clipped for clarity):
SAP's response to the original set of questions posted here:
=====================
....1.Number of server nodes depends upon the CPU speed.J2EE Engine
can support upto 21 server nodes in a intance.
If number of server nodes is big,it will slow down the startup process.
2.When you create the "New Server"its not the dublicate server.
Its a new server.You can not copy mising files from one server to other
J2EE engine syncronises the server nodes in the instance.
3.Yes.You need to manually delete the file system.Configtool deletes
the server node from the DB....
=====================
To which I replied:
=====================
.....2. I thought when you did the initial 'Add Server' it was supposed to
create a duplicate Server process. But, when I check the directory
structures of the newly created Server processes, they aren't anywhere

Shouldn't they all be the same?"
You replied:
"2.When you create the "New Server"its not the dublicate server.
Its a new server.You can not copy mising files from one server to other
J2EE engine syncronises the server nodes in the instance."
But, from actual experience, it does NOT synchronize the nodes, rather
it is a partial synchronization.
So, are the following staements true:
-When a new server process is added, ONLY standard SAP delivered files
& folders are synchronized. True or False?
-No custom files/folders are synnchronized. True or False?
-Custom values, whether part of standard SAP deliverables or custom
deliverables, are NOT synchronized. True or False?
-Each server node needs to be configured independently. True or False?
The reason I'm asking such specific questions is because of what we are
seeing. I'll use the same example from before. We modified the
index.html file for the Portal in Server0. When we added the new
server nodes, this index.html file was not synchronized. Instead, the
default index.html file was created for the new server nodes. That is
an example at the file level. Here is an example from a configuration
perspective. In Server0, in the Visual Admin tool, we have a TREX
server specified in TREX service properties. When the new server nodes
were created, this setting was NOT transferred. Therefore, TREX didn't
work until I specifically went back into VA and added the TREX settings
to the new server nodes. This is a major problem and opens up three
more questions:
1.How do we know what settings were transferred vs. those that weren't
transferred?
2.Also, if you can't copy missing files/folders from one server to
another, then how are we supposed to get those files/folders into the
new server(s)?
3. Is there a way to do a comparison between the server nodes to see
what settings are missing?.....
=====================
SAP's reply:

If any new server node is added,J2EE Engine syncronises the information
at the time of next restart......

2.Also, if you can't copy missing files/folders from one server to
another, then how are we supposed to get those files/folders into the
new server(s)?
You need to deploy the appliactions again on the new server.
3. Is there a way to do a comparison between the server nodes to see
what settings are missing?
No there is no way......
======================
So, although I really didn't have the answers I was looking for, I confirmed the message. It seems ludicrous to me that there is no way of doing a comparison or manual synch between two server nodes. Also, I can't believe you have to configure each node independently let alone when you do a deployment you now have to deploy to each server individually, of which I haven't found any docs explaining how to do that. So if someone here has a suggestion I'd appreciate it. Although at this point, given the fact the server nodes are so out of synch as to make them almost unusable, we might just delete them all and go back to one node, although I don't want to have to do that.
Thanks,

New server for hyperion

Hi,
I would like to know how can I know which latest patch I should go for Hyperion (9.3.1, Planning, SS, Essbase) or what should be approach? I need to migrate Hyperion servers and will install and configure Hyperion component.
Secondly I know installation, config. backup and migration, but what test should i run for on windows 2003 R2 (i mean, should i need anything like IIS for planning and i don't think there is any need to do with environmental variable as it should create automatically at the time of installation. or should i use existing Environmental variable to create on new server.
Regards
Kumar

Hi,
I am going to replace Hyperion server.
I know installation, config. backup and migration, but what test should i run for windows 2003 R2 (i mean, should i need anything like IIS for planning)
Secondly i don't think there is any need to do with environmental variable as it should create automatically at the time of fresh installation. or should i take backup of Environmental variable from older server and then import to new server?

Moved database to new server, not sure about NT AUTHORITY\* users

I just moved database to new instance of SQL Server (SQL Server 2012 Web from Amazon EC2) and am now cleaning up database users.
I am not sure if/why these 2 users are needed (they exist in original database that someone else created and managed before me):
NT AUTHORITY\IUSR
NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE
Note that there are also 2 database schemas with exactly the same names. These schemas do not contain any objects.
I am more clear on NT AUTHORITY\IUSR - this seems to be a user for IIS and IIS is not even installed on new instance (IIS will not be used). So this one probably can be deleted (together with matching schema?).
I am not sure about NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE (or how it got created to begin with - new databases created on new server don't have it. Newly created databases don't have NT AUTHORITY\IUSR either).
Neither of these 2 users exist at server level on a new instance or on an old instance.

BOL says
Local System account. The name of this account is NT AUTHORITY\System. It is a powerful account that has unrestricted access to all local system resources. It is a member of the Windows Administrators group on the local computer, and is therefore a member of
the SQL Server sysadmin fixed server role
Network Service account. The name of this account is NT AUTHORITY\NetworkService. It is available in Microsoft Windows XP and Microsoft Windows Server 2003. All services that run under the Network Service account are authenticated to network resources as the
local computer.
