Server Specs for SLES and GW 12

I need to look into a new server to put SLES and GroupWise 2012 on it. I am having trouble finding server specs for this, so I was hoping to get a little advice. GW will be the only thing on this box, one PO with about 150 users. Hoping to build something or purchase something that isn't too expensive due to budget restraints.
Thanks

I work for a small non profit organization and we only have one server, never found the need for virtualized servers.

If this is going to be a dedicated physical setup (you are not planning
to run GroupWise on a virtualised server) you should not need a big
budget to find a decent server for those 150 users.
IMO, a dual core CPU with 4 GB of RAM would seem quite sufficient in
this case. Getting a proper disk controller (with a true hardware raid
handling if you are looking for a raid setup) & decent disks that can
handle the I/O required is important too.
The A brand entry level servers that I've seen easily meat this
requirement. Do make sure it's suitable for 64bit.
In any case, GroupWise 2012 has about the same requirements version 8
would demand.
I'm curious, you are not already virtualising servers?

E Business Suite 11i Server Spec for Linux?

Does anyone know, or can suggest possibilities, of a server spec for 11i on Linux. This is for a small company installation of 11i.
Where can I go to ansewer questions like this?
What Linux distributions are supported for 11i?
I was thinking of multiple CPU's, highpoint raid controllers to give RAID 0+1, and 1 or 2 Gb of memory.
thanks
Dave Darrall.

Jimmy,
Our E-business suite 11i has been running on the application tiers RHEL 4, due to the requirement to support large memory configurations on a 32-bit system. Is it true that from RHEL 5, the “hugemem” kernel which achieves this 32-bit memory scalability has been deprecated in favour of the use of 64-bit kernels?
Your 11i application tier will be limited to 32-bit even if you install 32-bit OS on x86-64 hardware.
Our Oracle 11g database is running on RedHat Linux 5.8. Is E-Business suite 11i (application tiers) certified to run on RHEL 5.8?
Yes.
Also for future planning, is E-Business suite 12 (application tiers) certified to run on which versions of RedHat?
Please see:
Oracle E-Business Suite Installation and Upgrade Notes Release 12 (12.1.1) for Linux x86-64 (Doc ID 761566.1)

Server Specs for crystal reports server

Hi,
I am a prospect Crystal Reports Server customer. I am looking to find out Server Specs for a typical 10 CAL Crystal Reports Server deployment. The information for minimum spec seems to be widely available but not for a Spec for good performance.
Thanks in Advance

My recommendation is to work with an SAP pre-sales consultant who will be able to provide "truer to life" guidelines on RAS sizing. Generally, you're looking to accommodate ~ 30-60 concurrent report events on a single RAS CPU.
Of course, report size (data stored within in, # pages, etc) all get factored into estimating memory requirements and goes back to making use of a pre-sales consultant for this purpose. Additional factors include deploying a multi-RAS configuration and other layouts to optimize your needs. They definitely have what you need - it's a matter of reaching out to them.
Good luck.

Is Distributed Transaction Coordinator services of the application role are required by SQL Server 2012 for clustering and support of SharePoint 2013.

All I want to know is if Distributed Transaction Coordinator services of the application role are required by SQL Server 2012 for clustering and support of SharePoint 2013.
I have been planning and deploying my companies first Windows Server 2012/SQL Server 2012 Always On cluster and Always On Availability Groups Multi-Subnet cluster and instances for SharePoint 2013, and I will be brutally honest, the documentation on either
the MSDN and TechNet leave alot to be desired. Continually finding links in the documentation will take me from a Windows 2012 reference to a page talking about Windows Server 2008 or R2, The differences of which there are so many when it comes to configurations,
settings, roles, services when working with SQL Server 2012. I have been confused, frustrated, screaming mad, with all the misdirection in this documentation. The documentation takes me windows 2008 R2 which is different than 2012!
Tired and trying to pick myself up off the floor!

In general, DTC is not required for SQL 2012. But, since you are asking specifically about SharePoint, it would be better to ask in a SharePoint forum. They would be more likely to know those situations where FTC might be needed by SharePoint.

Best Hardware Server Specs for Wsus to run close to 3000 Clients

Hello Team,
I am currently configuring a Wsus server 2012 for my company. I am looking forward to buy a Dell rack server and would like to take your input on what is the best server specs I could go for. I am intending to use a San-box to store Wsus content but still
would need the best spec to run it without any outage. Kindly suggest. Thanks in advance.
Many Thanks
Many Thanks Krish

I am currently configuring a Wsus server 2012 for my company. I am looking forward to buy a Dell rack server and would like to take your input on what is the best server specs I could go for.
This is documented in the WSUS Deployment Guide
System Requirements article.
But the *BEST* specs you could go for would be whatever you can afford to buy .... which may also be gross overkill for a 3000-node WSUS server.
Load tests from 2007 are documented in the
WSUS Capacity Requirements article in the WSUS3 SP1 Deployment Guide. In short, for 3,000 clients you need a 1.5GHz vCPU and 2GB RAM.

Server Specs for a 11.1.1.3 Install Important questions.

I've put together some specifications for a Development Server & Production Server, any comments appreciated. I hope this post acts as a good reference sample for anybody else out there looking to implement a Hyperion Planning.
Client Tier: (2 developers)
Windows
8 GB RAM
Dual Core Processor
Components: EAS client, Smart View, Excel Add-in
Web Tier:
HTTP Web and J2EE Servers:
Windows + (not sure which version would be best here, any ideas appreciated)+
Processor: 4 x 3 GHZ, 64 bit
RAM: 8GB
Hard Drive: 32 GB
Components: Foundation: HSS, Workspace, Planning, Web Applications: EAS, Financial Reporting, Web Analysis, Planning,
Services Tier:
Server1:
Windows (2003 SP1, R2)
Processor: 4 x 3 GHZ 64 bit
RAM: 16 GB
Disk: 32GB
Components: Essbase Server 64 bit
Server2:
Windows (2003, SP1 R2)
Processor: 2 x3 Ghz
RAM: 8GB
Hard Drive: 32GB
Components: Reporting & analysis, Financial Reporting Print Services, ODI
Server 3:
Windows (2003, SP1 R2)
Processor: 2 x3 Ghz 64 bit
RAM: 8GB
Hard Drive: 32GB
Components: FDM
Database Tier:
4 x 3 GHZ - 8 GB RAM
DISK: 100GB RDBMS
200GB Essbase Storage
The specifications will be similar for the production for abotu 25 - 30 users (10 concurrent), with RAM being a little bumped up.
One important question: I might need guidance on installing 32 bit planning or FDM on the 64 bit server - any known issues with this? Also any known issues with 64 bit Essbase working with 32 bit Planning?
Edited by: EssbaseApprentice on Sep 30, 2010 10:04 AM

obviously its hard to comment on whether it is the perfect spec for your environment, it looks alright to me, it is not under spec.
For the web tier as you are running reporting and analysis and the other machines are windows based personally I would stick with windows 2003.
Is there any reason why you have one machine dedicated just to FDM, seems a bit of an overkill just for one product, it may be worth combining services server 2 with FDM, just a suggestion though

Final Cut Server is for video and photo archiving?

Too many products in the last few years. I used to use iPhoto to archive both photos and video and edit them. Now I have moved to the professional line but it gets more confusing.
Aperture2: archiving and cataloguing thousands of pictures with minor edits
Adobe CS4: major edits to my pictures
FCP6: video edit but with no archiving and/or metadata capability
Final Cut Server: for what? Can it archive/metadata all my video and all my Aperture files and work
seamlessly between all these four programs?
Please help. I am considering buying Final Cut Server. I am both a photographer as well as a videographer running many different cameras over many different kinds of shoots. And I am trying to simplify my work process.
Thanks,
Brian

We were in a similar situation as well.
We use Adobe products for photo and desktop stuff
and FCP Suite for video.
We ingest images with Bridge and add keywords.
The raw files are backed up and the corrected images
are processed (Photoshop/Image Processor) and dropped
into a Final Cut Server watch folder.
This action automatically adds the files to FCS for
easy access as well as backs up the images to an
external FTP in our desktop publishing office across
town. Desktop has its own version of FCS that adds
the new files and makes them available for designers.
When we shoot video we shoot mainly with Sony EX3
camcorders with SxS media. Footage is downloaded
and tagged in XDCAM Transfer. The folder that is
labeled "Import" in the utility is also a watch
folder which added the files to FCS.
So in other words Final Cut Server has us organized
and working together much better than we were before.

Integrated ITS in a Separate App Server (DI) for Security and LoadBalancing

Hi Experts,
I have a specific requirement for ITS Configuration.
1. Production Server ( CI + DB ) -> Existing
[ ERP6.0 ]
OS : Solaris 10
DB : oracle 10.2.0.2
H/W: PRIMEPOWER650
Unicode Enabled
2. Application Server ( DI ) --> to be made ( and to be used exclusively for Web users)
OS : Windows2003 sv
H/W: RX200 S3
x64
MEM: 8GB
No. 1 is existing Production Server Environment.
The Customer Requirement.
The Customer wants to use the ITS . But he doesn't want the existing Production Server to be disturbed for the same for 2 reasons. [ Security and Load Balancing ]
We are planning to create a Separate Application Server (DI) to work as ITS.
As the Kernel is 700. The ITS is integrated into the Production Server by Default.
We have written to SAP and have asked whether the Production Server ITS can be disabled and the Separate DI's ITS be enabled so that the NEW ( No.2 ) Application Server will be used for ITS activities.
SAP has replied saying the Integrated ITS cannot be disabled at the Production Server. Instead as an alternative we can create a Logon Group (using transaction SMLG) and divert all the Web users to the Separated DI (No.2). We have decided to go according to SAP.
Now I have the following questions :
1. The Operating Systems of the Production Server (No.1) and the Separate AP (No. 2)
are different. ( Are there any complexities involved or must do points to be taken care. )
2. Brief / MUST DO tasks at the Production Server Environment and Must do tasks at the DI Environment.
I hope someone has already done some few installations on the above combination, if so, request to please share me your ideas.
Thanks in anticipation
Best Regards,
Paguras
PS :
my earlier discussion on the same topic on this community.
ITS Specific Requirement

Hi Markus,
Thanks for the Reply.
We have the following 2 plans :
Plan-01.
As you have advised, we will try to disable ITS of CI and enable ITS of DI.
Plan-02.
If Plan-01 could be worked out successfully, well implement as per SAP suggests. Creating a Logon Group and divert all the web users to the DI alone.
To deactivate ITS on CI, you have mentioned to make sure, that the system does not listen on the HTTP port (transaction SMICM) on the Servers
BTW, I have seen a parameter called <b>ITSP/ENABLE</b>. if we deactivate this parameter at CI & DB and then activate the same parameter at DI.
My questions to you :
1. Shall we go for Plan-01 ignoring what SAP OSS has said. ?
2. Disable ITSP/Enable Parameter -> CI & DB
Enable ITSP/Enable Parameter -> DI has to be implemented .
Thanks & best Regards,
Paguras
PS: Sorry for always pounding you with so many questions on the same topic.
SAP Help on ITSP / enable parameter
itsp/enable
You use this parameter to deactivate (0) or activate (1) the integrated ITS. Even if the integrated ITS is activated, it only accesses system resources when it is actually used. Nevertheless, it can make sense to deactivate it to prevent users from accessing the SAP system with SAP GUI for HTML via special application servers (such as batch or update instances). Since the conversion of SAP screens into HTML pages uses additional CPU time, it makes sense to reserve a number of dedicated application servers to be used with SAP GUI for HTML and to use a special logon group to balance the load between them.

Which specs for FCP and which camcorder?

Hi guys,
will be using the macbook for editing gigs/events/music video's etc. what specs would be best?
and any thoughts on a camcorder? currently got my eye on sony hxr mc50e but wanting to know if you think any others are better?
defo needs to be HD, portable, SD preferred over MiniDV, Needs to have good low light recording and good audio. Max budget is about £1300
hope u can help
many thanks

If, despite all advice to the contrary, you still go for the MacBook Pro then I'd recommend the base 17” MacBook Pro (MBP) configuration, with 160GB 5400 RPM hard disc option, and an additional 1 GB RAM (to make 3 GB total).
Why the 17” model?
Because when editing you need as much screen space as possible. Yes, it is bigger and heavier than the 15”, but I think that it’s larger and higher resolution display is worth that sacrifice.
Why the bigger but slower 160GB 5400 RPM hard disc option?
Laptop drives already have a much smaller capacity than their desktop cousins and those little drives, inevitably, fill up quickly with all your stuff!
And of course, you're planning to get an external media drive too, right? If you don’t have one then your internal disc will be eaten up by clip media in no time (especially if you opted for the smaller faster internal disc).
Why 3 GB RAM?
Well OK, thats an expensive option, but seriously, if you can afford it the money is well spent.
I'd also strongly recommend the extended AppleCare Protection Plan.

Clarification of Servlet Spec for forwarding and filters

Hi everybody,
I'm having a problem trying to use SiteMesh in WebLogic 9.1 vs Tomcat 5.5.17. The issue seems to come up because the two containers have different behavior when it comes to forwarding and filters.
The scenario is this: A request comes in to a servlet, that servlet forwards to a JSP page using RequestDispatcher.forward(). The SiteMesh filter looks at request.getServletPath() after the chain has executed and determines whether or not to apply the decoration based on the path of the page. The filter's doFilter() method looks something like :
chain.doFilter(request, response)
if(request.getServletPath() = matchingPath)
applyDecoration();
}Now, in Tomcat, a call to request.getServletPath() before and after the call to chain.doFilter() returns the exact same thing, regardless of whether the target servlet executes a forward. But in WebLogic, the call to getServletPath() after chain.doFilter() returns the forwarded path, not the original path.
Who is right? Or is this one of those gray areas?
Thanks,
Scott

Thanks for the info. You are correct, I was using 'forward'. I changed it to use 'sendRedirect' and this time the request goes via the filter. However, the request parameters that were in the original request have disappeared after the 'sendRedirect'. I could just add all the request parameters to the string I pass to sendredirect but was wondering if there was a better/simpler way.
Thanks,
Paul

Proxy Server asking for username and password almost 6 times for every page I load, but the same doesn't happen with other browsers like chrome

The same question keeps popping up again and again "The proxy moz-proxy://proxy.iitm.ac.in:3128 is requesting a username and password. The site says: "moz-proxy://proxy.iitm.ac.in:3128""
Even after i give the right details, it asks me like 5 more times before it completely loads the page. Some times it happens only 2 times.
With other browsers like chrome, it asks only in the beginning. it doesn't occur after that.
This started occurring only recently. i upgraded to firefox 9.0 and it functioned properly for more than 12 hours before it started occuring. i tried downgrading back to 8.0.1 but the problem still continued.

i'm afraid i need to use proxy settings to connect to internet. The settings are all fine because it used to work properly all this time. i specify the proxy address and the port, which is correct, i am very confident. it is so because the page actually loads on firefox, but not before it asks for my user name and password for it a lot of times, and for every page. for other browsers, it asks only in the beginning, that is, when i start the browser.
i've put three pics here. under the first two settings, the third image showing the user name and password thingy popping up. this happens a lot of times for every page.

Where can I find the SQL Server Gateway for 816 and beyond?

All,
What CD is used to install the SQLServer Gateway?
Any info would be great. Thanks.

If you are talking about SQL Server Transparent Gateway, you
need to buy it separate and it costs around $15K.
It does not come with the standard enterprise edition.
