Reverse Proxy and Load Balancer for SMP 2.3 and Agentry Application

Hi Expert,
I'm putting in place a mobile solution composed by SMP 2.3 SPS 4 and SAP ECC 6.0. In the SMP 2.3 I created the agentry server and I have deployed my agentry application.
My SMP/Agentry infrastructure is composed by two servers therefore I need a load balancer for balance the load into the several servers. Furthermore I need to use a reverse proxy in my DMZ zone.
Based on what indicated in the SAP note "1904213 - SAP Mobile Platform Server Release Information" the Apache Reverse Proxy is not supported for Agentry clients. Agentry uses nginx for Reverse Proxy.
I also found the following document How-to-Guide for Reverse Proxy and Load Balancing in SAP Mobile Platform 3.x that explain how to set-up a reverse proxy and load balancer with nginx and apache.
Both the SAP note and the HOW to document are refereed to SMP 3.0 and not to SMP 2.3.
I would know if the NGINX must be used also for SMP 2.3.
Any suggestion/information is appreciated.
Thanks in advance
g.

Installing 2 Application server and 1 DB server and load balancing for 11i

Hi,
I need info on how to install and configure load balancing for 11.5.8 on Win2000. The scenario: 1 db server DB, 2 apps/web/forms servers AP1 and AP2. Using rapid install you can only specify one db server A and one form server in multi node installations, right? How do I install the form server on AP2? Can I use the same config.txt? The computer name for AP2 is different.
Thanks & Regards,
Jagal

I have the very same issue. We want to install 4 web/form servers on a hardware load-balancer and the issue is we can only specify one forms server.
Does anyone know the secret bullet here?
Thanks

10.1.2.1 WebCache as load balancer for 10.1.3.1.0 Application server RAC

Hi,
Since WebCache is not included in 10.1.3.1.0 AS (SOA Suite), is it possible to use the 10.1.2 release for a 10.1.3.1.0 AS farm?
Furthermore, most documentation I've read seem to indicate a single WebCache instance for any number of AS instances, but can the WebCache instance be a multiple instance installation? We would like to use WebCache, but are a bit afraid that this might become the single point of failure.
Thanks,
Arjan

Yes you can use the 10.1.2 Webcache for the 10.1.3. SOA Suite. However I would not advise you to do so, Most calls will be SOAP messages that will not really benefit from the Webcache.
Yes, you can cluster the Webcache. This will remove your SPOF.

Network load balancer for Agentry applications

Hi Expert,
I'm going to implement a SAP Mobile Platform solution that will use an agentry application and I need some clarification about the HA configuration and the usage of the network load balancer and relay server. Just for information I'm going to use SMP 2.3 SP4.
My understanding is that Relay server is a reverse proxy and load balancer for SMP but It can't be used for the agentry applications. Is this correct?
Based on the standard configuration in order to balance the load of the client devices in the SMP cluster I have to use a Network load balancer, therefore the technical architecture of my solution should be the following:
|Agentry Client device| ----> | Network Load Balancer | ----> | SMP and Agentry Cluster| -----> |Back end systems|
Is this correct? I didn't find specifications about the Network load balancer.. Is there a list of the Network load balancer products supported from SAP for agentry application. Is there any best practice on the network load balancer?
Thank you in advance for you collaboration.

Because we don't test any directly with our QA we don't have have a preferred products. Talking to our consulting group they normally just use what the customer already has installed in their network. Both Software or hardware load balancers has been used.
The key part needed for the load balancer for Agentry 6.0.x and SMP 2.3 (not SMP 3) that it is set to TCP Pass through.

Reverse Proxy plug in and Load Balancer Plug in

Hi,
Can anyone please provide me with an example obj.conf file showing how to combine the reverse proxy plug-in and Load Balancer plug-in.
I would like to use the reverse proxy plug in to detect when static content is requested and provide this from the web server. Requests for dynamic content would then be forwarded to an Application server via the Load balancer plug-in. I have found plenty of documentation on how to configure these plug-in separately but nothing on how to combine the two.

smiking
reverse proxy plugin - its job is to forward the requests to another server for a specific task. you can use the webserver 7 . it does forward and limited load balancing (using round robin ) based on the number of servers you provide in the configuration. i would say this is a poor man's setup.
load balancer plugin - some app servers like sun java system app server or web logic provide this plugin so that you can effectively use the back end app server
with both these setup, you can <if> constructs to determine which requests need to be forwarded to the back end server.
I wonder, why do you need both - if both of them is designed to do the same thing.

Web Dispatcher - Reverse Proxy and Load Balancing

I'm finding limited docs on Web Dispatcher with regard to reverse proxy and load balancing. Are you aware of some recent presentations or docs in this area? The info on help.sap.com is not what I'm looking for.
Thanks.

Hi,
best thing is that you look at your scenarios and test the web dispatcher against each of it, like:
- SSL
- Portal only
- Web Dynpro ABAP / Java
- BSP
- Different backend systems like SRM, MDM
- Several backends with 1 Web Dispatcher
After getting a list of use cases that you can test quite easily (installation of Web Dispatcher is done fast and can be done on a local PC), you can contact SAP Support and ask them about the specific problems and questions you encountered. This way, you'll get the official answer, sometimes they will even inform you about "secret" parameters and options.
As of the reverse proxy functionality: there are several version of Web Dispatcher available that differ from the functionality offered. The latest version - 7.2 - is the one that offers the most, i.e. allows you to create rewrite rules like Apache.

Using ACE for proxy server load balancing

Hello groups,
I wanted to know your experiences of using ACE for proxy server load balancing.
I want to load balance to a pool of proxy servers. Note: load-balancing should be based on the HTTP URL (i can't use source or dest. ip address) so that
a certain domain always gets "cached/forwarded" to the same proxy server. I don't really want to put matching
criteria in the configuration (such as /a* to S1, /b* to S2, /c* to S3,etc..), but have this hash calculated automatically.
Can the ACE compute its own hash based on the number of "online" proxy servers ? ie. when 4 servers are online, distribute domains between 1,2,3,4 evenly.
Should server 4 fail, recalculate hash so that the load of S4 gets distributed across the other 3 evenly. Also load-balancing domains of S1 ,S2 and S3 should not change if S4 fails.....
regards,
Geert

This is done with the following predictor command:
Scimitar1/Admin# conf t
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Scimitar1/Admin(config)# serverfarm Proxy
Scimitar1/Admin(config-sfarm-host)# predictor hash ?
address         Configure 'hash address' Predictor algorithms
content         Configure 'hash http content' Predictor algorithms
cookie          Configure 'hash cookie' Predictor algorithms
header          Configure 'hash header' Predictor algorithm
layer4-payload Configure 'hash layer4-payload' Predictor algorithms
url             Configure 'hash url' Predictor algorithm
Scimitar1/Admin(config-sfarm-host)# predictor hash url
It does hash the url and the result takes into account the number of active proxies dynamically.
This command has been designed for this kind of scenario that you describe.

Resources for designing redundancy and load balancing among data centers

Hello all,
I'm looking for resources for designing redundancy and load balancing between two physically separate data centers. I'm looking for some "best practice" links, tips, or recommendations. Any suggestions are appreciated!
Thanks.

I think that we can do per packet load balancing by using CEF.
Please go to the following URL:
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios122/122cgcr/fswtch_c/swprt1/xcfcefc.htm#xtocid5
Also, you may need local director or distributed director. What resource/application is availalbe in the data centre? (e.g. http server, ftp server, TN3270 server, and so on)

Lync 2013 Enterprise load balancing on the front end and edge pool

Hi,
I am setting up a Lync 2013 Enterprise deployment consisting of a Front End pool (x2 FE servers) and an Edge pool (x2 Edge servers). I'm seeing some conflicting advice regarding load balancing using hardware or DNS for the front end and the edge.
On the front end I have 2 internal DNS records 'lyncfepool1.contoso.local' each of which map to one of the IPs of the FE servers. I've used my details to populate the Detailed Design Planner excel spreadsheet and am told that I require a HLB to load
balance my front end pool. I'm aware of the need to load balance HTTPS traffic internally (which will be done by TMG) however other traffic to the front end (SIP, etc) can be balanced by DNS only, and not require a HLB?
Can someone clarify the front end requirement?
Also - looking now at the edge pool - this site again have two edge servers in a pool. We are using a total of six private IP addresses, two per edge service (2 x av.contoso.com, 2 x sip.contoso.com and 2 x webcon.contoso.com). These will be
NAT'ed by the external firewall and directed to the respective external (DMZ) IP addresses on the Edge servers on port 443. I know this isn't true roundrobin due to the intelligence of the Lync client when connecting (in that the Lync client will connect
to one of the public IPs and if it can't connect, it will know to connect to the other service IP), however I want to clarify this set up, particularly the need to direct the external public IP traffic at the DMZ Edge IP specified in the topology builder.
I've attached a basic diagram of the external/DMZ/Edge side which hopefully helps with this question
Persevere, Persevere, Per..

That is because you will always need HLB for a front-end server since it hosts the Lync webservices which use HTTP/HTTPS traffic.
The description on the calculation tool also describes this correctly:
Supports Standard and Enterprise pools (up to 12 nodes), with pure device-based load balancing or a combination of DNS load balancing and device-based load balancing (for
Lync web services)
You can use either Hardware or DNS loadbalancing for SIP traffic only, but you will always need a HLB for the webservices. Both are applicable for the Front-End so you have either
full HLB for both SIP and HTTP(S) traffic
DNS LB for SIP traffic and HLB for HTTP(S) traffic
Hope this is more clear :-)

CSS Load balancing for Exchange Server

Hi,
I have CSS configured in single arm and I have multiple servers configured for load balancing and it is working fine but when I am configuring Exchange server for load balancing I am facing problem and applications and printer/scanners are not able to send the email through the Virtual IP address configured for exchaneg server.
But if we configured the real server IP in the printer/scanners they are able to send the email. While checking the logs on the exchange server, it is showing that request for the email so coming from the Exchange VIP configured in the CSS.
I can telnet on port 25 on the VIP address (192.168.200.237). But unable to send the email through this VIP.
Below is the configuration
service ENOC_EXCHANGE-1
ip address 192.168.200.235

Please let me know how to solve this problem. System team is saying with the physical IP address it is working fine problem with Load balancing. I have even tried with the
Add service command in the group but didnt work for me. If i will remove the group command then I cant telnet on port 25.
I think this is related to single arm modle or some wrong configuration for the NAT.
Kindly assist me

Hi
Printers are on Vlan 80 ( gw is 192.168.80.1) and exange server is on vlan 200 (gw is 192.168.200.1) i have multiple vlan which will communcate with exchange.
I hv other servers on 200 subnet which are working fine in load balancing.

thnaks & regards

The config is the same for both switches:
(this will enable port channel bundle, you can specify upto 16 ports..i would recommend 10)
(config-if#)interface range gigabitethernet 1/1-2
(config-if#)Description PORT-CHANNEL Interface
(config-if#)switchport
(config-if#)channel-group 1 mode on
(config-if#)switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
(config-if#)switchport mode trunk
(config-if#)speed 1000
(config-if#)no shutdown
(Enable SRM SSO)
router(config)#redundancy
router(config-red)#mode sso
router(config-red)#end
router#show redundancy states
you should see my state = active
peer state = standby hot
where are your users come into the 6500's? if they are sitting on the 6500's I would recommend putting them in a separate vlan.

Setting up Load Balancing for 11i for Intranet & Internet Access

Our current environment for 11i (11.5.5) is accessed only internally (via Intranet). We need to allow outside access (via Internet) also for self-service apps (ie. HR). Oracle Support/Metalink has stated that Load Balancing (note 148155.1) is the only supported method to have multiple (Apps Servers) systems access a single database. Could I get feedback from anyone who has implemented Load Balancing for 11i? Additionally if someone has implemented this for both intranet and internet access how has your company setup? Do the secondary server(s) from the Load Balancing note reside in the DMZ? And thus the primary app server and database reside inside the firewall? Thanks....

Hi,
We are using 6 middle tiers for internal access for intranet access and 2 middle tiers in External DMZ with only web server running for Extrenal Access over Internet for Self Service.
You Implement one Load Balancer for first 6 internal Middle Tiers with site level profiles pointing to Internal .
You implement second Load balancer for external 2 middle tiers with server level profile options for these two servers pointing to External Load balancer .
