Load Balancing on a URL with parameters in it.

Hi,
We have two main Server Farms. I have been asked to load balance to each farm based on the url. The problem:
The url looks like this
https://www.domain.com/test/ci/?par1=Default&par2=main&userRole=userrole&mcId=companyname&par4=somethingelse
The bit of the url for the decision making is "mcId", but as I understand it, I cannot use a "?" in the url text string on the CSS. So, how do i do it ?
Many thanks
Wayne

Wayne,
the documentation is actually incorrect.
The '?' does not prevent the advanced-balance url feature to work.
It just changes where the CSS starts looking for the string.
Check this url for a sample config.

    We've seen this bug on machines running IE6 with a certain security patch (I forget its number). There's a thread in the Metalink reports forum about it. It appears to be somewhat tied to another problem where IE runs the report twice (you can see that in Showjobs. You're seeing the problem in 6i; I believe it persists in 9i.
    The workarounds are (1) set Acrobat so it doesn't open within IE or (2) switch to a different browser, like Netscape. For workaround 1, Start Acrobat Reader, Choose File -> Preferences -> General, Uncheck Web Browser Integration
    There's some evidence that it occurs more often with urls that include single quote characters. I think it's worse with XP, but I don't have any proof.
    If you check Adobe's site, you will see this isn't just an Oracle Reports problem. I think we're waiting for Microsoft on this one, so don't hold your breath for a quick fix.

  • Opening a url  with parameters in an application

    I'm able to open a url in a browser from my application, but I want to open a url with parameters.
    for instanse http://mypage.asp?parameter=a
    You get a file not found. Is this possible?
    I'm currently using
    Runtime.getRuntime().exec( "cmd /C start " + url);

    Found the answer -- you have to put the url in quotes lest the ampersands parse the end off.

  • Remote URL with parameters

    I'm building a ADF Mobile application and would like to call remote URL with parameters however there is no concrete example of this in the developer guide. I would like to call www.google.com?q=queryParam where queryParam is an user input.
    Thank you...

    I think you need to first define a white list of sites and this will allow opening the page in the web view instead of a separate browser see:

  • Load balancing Reports Services 10g with WebCache?

    Hi Guys
    Does anybody have any good ideas on how to load balance Oracle Reports Services?
    Can I do it with WebCache as with Forms Services?
    /Jacob :)

    My java application resides in a different server (weblogic) from the Oracle Application server (which has the report server). I do a browser redirect from my java application to a URL of OAS . I have hard coded Oracle Application server and report server name in one of my config files in my java weblogic server
    In the above URL, servername:7770 is the Oracle Application Server. I would not have a problem with this since this will be the name of the cluster.
    But the problem is server=<report server> . The report server which will pickup my request will be identified only after the browser has redirected to the URL. SO I cannot hard code it in my ajava application.
    Can I just remove server=<report server name> when generating URL from my java application when I need to run report server in a clustered load balancing environment?
    Sorry if my earlier post was confusing

  • Sticky load balancing across 2 ports with cookies

    Hi,
    I have a server configuration where I have 1 top level Apache server that deals with SSL termination (and handles static content) and proxy passes dynamic content onto 2 Tomcat servers on 2 ports, one for http requests (9001) and one for the requests that were secure, but have now been un-encrypted by Apache (9002).  My 2 Tomcat servers are load balanced using a CSS and I need this load balancing to stick to the tomcat servers regardless of port so that the user is stuck to the same Tomcat server for their entire session. 
    I would like to use arrowpoint cookies to perform this stickyness, but the documentation suggests that arrowpoint cookie load balancing (in fact any cookie based load balancing) requires the port to be specified in the content rule.  Is this correct?  Is my only option to use the source IP for stickyness? I don't understand why the port should be required if the stickyness is via a cookie. Can I not simply configure my 2 tomcat servers as services with no port and add a single content rule that load balances these services using arrowpoint-cookie advanced balancing?
    service tomcat1
      ip address x.x.x.x
      active
    service tomcat2
      ip address x.x.x.x
      active
    owner me
       content sticky
         vip address x.x.x.x
         protocol tcp
         url "/*"
         add service tomcat-1
         add service tomcat-2
         advanced-balance arrowpoint-cookie
         active

    Angela-
    The issue with port is that cookies are very specifically HTTP only and the CSS has no way of knowing what protocol will hit a VIP prior to trying to address it as HTTP. Your issue is actually a bit clearer than it is initially led to be - you can still use 2 different rules by using the configuration below. 
    However, you might be headed for a headache if you don't implicitly control the client's actions.  By default, browsers don't generally send cookies cross-protocol and definitely not cross-domain.  Use something like httpwatch or iewatch to check out the headers your client sends to your site.  Make sure when the 200ok arrives with the set-cookie that the client sends that cookie in all preceeding packets that are HTTP and HTTPS both.
    service tomcat1
      string "tomcat1"
      ip address x.x.x.x
      active
    service tomcat2
      string "tomcat2"
      ip address x.x.x.x
      active
    owner me
       content sticky9001
         vip address x.x.x.x
         protocol tcp
         url "/*"
         port 9001
         add service tomcat-1
         add service tomcat-2
         advanced-balance arrowpoint-cookie
         active
       content sticky9002
         vip address x.x.x.x
         protocol tcp
         url "/*"
         port 9002
         add service tomcat-1
         add service tomcat-2
         advanced-balance arrowpoint-cookie
         active
    With this configuration, the CSS will use the "string" as the cookie value. So if the client were to recieve set-cookie: ArrowpointCookie=tomcat1, it should use it for either rule, and end up on tomcat1 accessing either VIP.

    Chris

  • Load balancing on an applicaton with multi-ports

    One of our application open 5 ports and other 4 management ports. the ports can not be ranged.
    to load balancing this, I did:
    make seperate contents rules for every port. and all of them use aca.
    Please advice me :
    1. how can I group all the ports into one contents rule?
    2. every rule for a port means the balancing in only by based on specialy port?
    3. Can I balance the load between ports?
    4. for administrator ports, what is the better balancing mothed?
    Any comments will be apprecaited
    Thanks in advance

    Gilles,
    What will be the best keepalive on the services to use in this case?
    I have had a problem where I tried the same setup you have suggested above but what happen is i get a black hole if the service port(s) goes down on one of the servers.
    At the beginning, I used the default ICMP keepalive and then tried the port xx keepalive but because the servers have multiple ports and if the port that is not monitored by keepalive goes down, the content rule still think that the service is still up and this is where I get i blackhole. To get around with the problem I have created multiple services, (one for each port) and configured the subsequent keepalive.
    1. is there a better way of doing it? i,e script
    2. is there any documentation on Cisco website on how to use the scripting tools on CSS?
    Thanks again,
    Ben

  • Load balancing on rac database with single node appsTier

    Hi,
    Please advice me, I am working on to configure load balancing on appstier, following is my setup and steps I did so far.
    Host name      Services
    Clelx062ptlge --     Rac 1 – only database
    Clelx063ptlge --     Rac 2 – only database
    Clelx042ptlge --     All apps services including concurrent managers
    I have two R12 database(UDEV -- development & HRQA -- UAT), I only made changes in apps tier xml file of udev for some load balancing parameters, following are the changes I did.
    *<TWO_TASK oa_var="s_tools_twotask" osd="unix"> udev_806_BALANCE </TWO_TASK>*
    *<CP_TWOTASK oa_var="s_cp_twotask" customized="yes">udev_806_BALANCE</CP_TWOTASK>*
    *<TWO_TASK oa_var="s_weboh_twotask" osd="unix"> udev_BALANCE </TWO_TASK>*
    I changed the values from "UDEV" to given above value. After the above change I ran autoconfig. Then Concurrent managers and forms services are not automatically getting failover to second database node, I need to bounce services to fail it back to other available Rac node. Please note that we have only one appsTier
    Thanks,
    Tanveer Mohammed.

  • ACE load balancing based on URL

    I am trying to send traffic to one server or another based on the URL. I want traffic to foo.com/selfserv to direct to server A and traffic to foo.com/webui to direct to server B. I found URL inspection etc but I am not sure how to apply it the scenario as I do not want the ACE to inspect all inbound HTTP requests.

    The ACE performs regular expression matching against the received packet data from a particular connection based on the HTTP URL string. To configure a class map to make Layer 7 SLB decisions based on the URL name and, optionally, the HTTP method, use the match http url command in class-map HTTP load balance configuration mode.

  • App.server load balancing for SAP System with 1 PS

    Hi,
    In SAP CPS 7.0 (Build M26.12) I have a SAP system with Central Instance + 10 App.servers, but all instances are managed by 1 ProcessServer.
    After activating the "App.server load balancing" setting in SAP system definition the application servers are becoming visible in CPS with their load factors (number of BGD wp's on app.servers) and load numbers (number of active jobs on app.servers).
    This is so far fine, but the additional functionality is not working as I would expect, I have issues with 2 functionalities:
    1. Based on documentation after activating also the XAL connection the CPS should submit the job on app.server with best performance based on XAL monitoring data filling the TARGET_SERVER parameter.
    This functionality is not working for me at all
    2. A useful functionality after activating the "App.server load balancing" setting is that the ProcessServer is going to "Overloaded" status when all BGD wp's of SAP system are occupied, thus restricting submitting new jobs during overload situation. But I had an issue also with this functionality, after SAP system recovery from overload situation, the CPS still remained in Overload status (so no new jobs were submitted).
    As a workaround I had increased the treshold values for loads on all app.servers for this SAP system, what was fine for several days, but after a while I believe this was a reason of unexpected performance issues in CPS, therefore I have deactivated the 'App.server load balancing" setting at all for this ProcessServer.
    I would appreciate your feedbacks with this functionality.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Ernest Liczki

    Hi Preetish,
    This connect string option is to loadbalance RFC connections. These are balanced upon login, once you are connected to a particular application server (AS) you stay on that server until you reconnect.
    Since CPS uses multiple RFC connections, this will result in the connections being distributed over the available AS resources which is fine as long as they are generally evenly loaded. If you have certain AS hosts that are continuosly more loaded than the rest, then you probably don't want the CPS RFC connections to end up on these servers.
    The original question is about loadbalancing of batch jobs over the available AS resources, and this is done independent of the RFC connection load balancing. Even if all CPS RFC connections are pinned to the DB/CI host, you can still loadbalance jobs over the available SAP AS hosts, either by using SAPs builtin balancing, or the CPS algorithm by activating the checkbox as indicated in the first entry in this thread.
    Finally, to reply to Ernest's question: I believe there are some fixes on the app load balancing in the latest release, M26.17 should be available on the SWDC now.
    Regards,
    Anton.

  • Oracle Applications 11i Load Balancing does not work with RAC one Node

    Hi all,
    Could you help me to resolve this issue.
    Architecture environment is :
    - One APPS tier node
    - Two nodes Oracle Database Appliance (Primary node 1 holds INSTANCE_1 et Secondary node is configurured to holds INSTANCE_2), i.e RAC one Node.
    - The primary node have instance_name SIGM_1 and the secondary node have instance_name SIGM_2, but in RAC one node, the secondary instance is not alive.
    We convert our EBS 11i environment to RAC following note ID Using Oracle 11g Release 2 Real Application Clusters with Oracle E-Business Suite Release 11i [ID 823586.1].
    When testing Database failover, Oracle Applications 11i load balancing does not work anymore.
    The root cause is that, when the primary node of the Rac one node is down, the INSTANCE_NAME_1 is automaically relocating to the surviving node,.
    During test failover, we imagine that when the primary node goes down, the secondary node start or relocate database with instance_name SIGM_2, and in that case the Oracle Applications load balancing works.
    Currently, when the primary node goes down, the instance_name SIGM_1 is relocated on the secondary node, which cause failure of Oracle Applications Load Balancing.
    Thank you for your advice.

    This is something I observed a long time ago for Safari (ie: around version 1). I'm not sure this is Safari, per se, but OpenSSL that is responsible for the behavior. I'm pretty sure Chrome does this and I've seen some Linux browsers do it.
    What I have done at the last two companies I've worked for is recommend that our clients do not use SSL SessionID as the way of tracking sticky sessions on web servers, but instead using IP address. This works in nearly all cases and has few downsides. The other solution is to use some sort of session sharing on your web servers to mitigate the issue (which also means that your web servers aren't a point of failure for your users' sessions). (One of the products I supported had no session information stored on the web servers, so we could safely round-robin requests, the other product could be implemented with a Session State Server... but in most cases we just used IP address to load balance with). The other solution is to configure your load balancer to terminate the SSL tunnel. You get some other benefits from this, such as allowing your load balancer to reduce the number of actual connections to the web servers. I've seen many devices setup this way.
    One thing to consider through this is that - due to the way internet standards work - this really can't be termed a bug on anyone's part. There is no guarantee in the SSL/TLS standards that a client will return the same SSL Session ID for each request and there is not requirement that subsequent requests will even use the same tunnel. Remember, HTTP is a stateless protocol. Each request is considered a new request by the web server and everything else is just trickery to try and get it to work the way you want. You can be annoyed at Safari's behavior, but it's been this way for over 5 years by my count, so I don't expect it to change.

  • Load Balancing Forms and Reports with Web Cache

    We are planning to add a second OracleAS 10g middle-tier application server to an existing 10g middle-tier.
    Both middle tiers will provide Forms and Reports.
    Users must pass through two static HTML pages before starting Forms.
    We plan to use Web Cache to load-balance (probably using round-robin) between the two middle-tiers.
    Does anyone see any problems with this solution?
    All comments/suggestions welcome.

    You could also load balance the two OC4J's using standard servlet mechanisms. I know that there exists a couple of good notes on Metalink. Go and do a search.
