Trouble in a SAP system with load balancing

Hello masters:
I had a trouble with workitems that came from a SAP system with load balancing. They doesn't receive the workitem ID in the UWL.
I created another system in the portal as a "dedicated application server", and made the necessary configuration in order to replace the first one, and then my workitems worked fine.
However, I would like to know what appened with the first system created as "system with load balancing". Why this system didn´t pass the workitem ID to the application (web dynpro abap) that execute the workitems?
Thank you.

I hope there was some missing configuration in the first case which was not replicating the workitem from SAP Inbox to UWL.
Thanks

System with load balancing server

Hi All,
We are having SAP NW 7.0 Portal and back end we have R3 implemented in a cluster environment. The system object in EP have used "System with Load balancing" template; using the LOGON group and the other related parameters.
But we have some problem with the ITS and WAS parameters; since we are using some Transaction iViews.
Let me explain.. for the R3 cluster we have 2 systems PROD1.domain.ext and PROD2.domain.ext. Now in the system object in portal, how to specify the parameters for ITS and WAS parameters? Since the host name in these we need to specify a single server which defeats the basic purpose of having clustered environment.
Can any one please help in resolving this issue.
Thanks,
Sravanthi

Hi Sravanthi,
Please check the below for finding ITS and WAS parameters from backend :
For ITS - Go to SE37 >> Utilities >> Setting >> Click on ICON Right Top Corner in popup window >> Select Internet Transaction Server >> you will find the Standard Path and HTTP URL.
For WAS - Go to SE37 >> Run FM - RSBB_URL_PREFIX_GET >> Execute it >> you will find PRefix and PAth paramter for WAS.
Please refer to this may help step-by-step : How-to create a portal system for using it in Visual Composer
Hope it helps

How to configure R/3 System with Load Balancing?

Hello,
I've created a Web DynPro Application and I would like to case an iView on it. According to SAP tutorials I first need to configure an R/3 System with Load Balancing.
My problem is how to configure the "WAS Host Name".
According to the tutorial:
WAS Host Name = <host>.<domain>:port (this corresponds to the Web Dynpro server location and the port on which it is running eg. PXYZ.wdf.sap.corp:50000.)
I am using NW 04 and my portal is running on this address:
http://ep6sp9test:50000/irj/portal
When I set the WAS Host Name to ep6sp9test:50000 the Test connection fails (I have privildges and created an alias and User mapping). What should I put at this field then?

Hi
I think you have to specify the HTTP port og the WAS running the R/3 system. The 50000 port is the HTTP port of your portal - not the R/3 system. You can see the HTTP port of the R/3 system using transactioncode SMICM - services in the R/3 system.

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.

SSO with SAP R/3 with load balancing as backend over the Web AS

Hi,
we have Netweaver 2004 at this time and we have to connect the portal to a BSP application in a load balancing environment.
We set user mapping for the user and set the connection type from SAPLOGONTICKET to UIDPW. This is running for a test environment with only one R/3 system without load balancing.
Does anyone know the setting parameters for a load balancing environment (ok, the message server and...?).
Thank you.
Best regards
Patrizia

Hi all,
run into the same problem. Setting up a mapping with UIDPW in a non load balanced WEB-AS enviroment for BSP or Webdynpro for ABAP works fine. But if I go to set it up in a balanced system I can see the following behavior. The http request is send to the messageserver. This request enclosed my mapped user and password. The messageserver responds with an HTTP 301 wich contains one of my applicationservers, so far so good. The client sends a new request to the mentioned applicationserver but this time without the UIDPW. So the user will not be logged in.
I was wondering if my backend have to issue logonticket too, cause today it only accept tickets from the portal.
Is this is a bug or a feature?
Regards,
Bernd

Error in creation of JCO with Load balancing server

Hi,
We are using a ABAP user base for our WEBAS server 6.40 (with ABAP+JAVA). i have created a Public group in concerned ECC 5.0 system. I have already configured SLD, and then i maintain data supplier bridge in SLD and run RZ70 in ECC 5.0 system to load system information.. i can see details in SLD ..
now i am trying to create JCO connections .. here i am unable to create JCO with load balancing option.. i get
com.sap.mw.jco.JCO$Exception: (102) RFC_ERROR_COMMUNICATION: Connect to message server host failed Connect_PM TYPE=B MSHOST=<servername> GROUP=PUBLIC R3NAME=SID MSSERV=sapms<SID> PCS=1 ERROR service 'sapms<SID>' unknown TIME Fri Jun 16 12:41:20 2006 RELEASE 640 COMPONENT NI (network interface) VERSION 37 RC -3 MODULE ninti.c LINE 505 DETAIL NiPGetServByName2: service 'sapms<SID>' not found SYSTEM CALL getservbyname_r COUNTER 1
i am able to create single server JCO, but it fails in load balancing.. is there anything i have missed out in settings...
Thanks and regards,
Sudhir

Thanks, Bogdan Rokosa
I have the same problem,and solved it following the steps provided by Bogdan Rokosa :
you must insert an entry for your R3 system
(like: sapms<SID> 3600/tcp)
in services file
(C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\services) on Java WAS.
I test the Jco successful without restart J2EE Engine.

HTTPS with load balancing

Hi guys,
We have a portal system with instance 08, so we typically connect to the portal using port 50800 for HTTP, and 50801 for HTTPS.
We have just created a second server node for this portal (in the config tool).
When we connect to 50800, does this automatically load balance the user to the better server? From some reading on these forums, it seemed to indicate that load balancing will only occur if I connect using port 8109. (where 09 is the instance number for the SCS of our portal)
When connecting to port 8109, we are redirected to port 50800, as I'd expect.
Question 1 - do we need to use 8109 for load balancing, or can we still use 50800?
Question 2 - If we need to use 8109, which is a HTTP port, how can we achieve load balancing with HTTPS. Is there a different port we need to use to have HTTPS with load balancing?
Question 3 - Is the creation of a second server node the best way to accomodate additional users and load on the portal system, or is there a better way to do things?
Thanks,
Michael.

Better late than never.
The load balancing you describe through the message server has its limitation. It redirects you to one of the dialog server hosts which means that any bookmarks will always point directly to a dialog server which may be down at that moment.
Access directly to a dialog server on port 50800 will sort of load balanc on the java server instances that are on that server but not on other servers.
The general recommendation is to setup an external loadbalancer and SAP Web dispatcher is a good match if the load is not very high. SAP webdispatcher will then bind up the cluster address and act as a proxy towards the dialog servers of the portal. The user will therefore only see one address. This will also work for HTTPS.

BM clustering with load balancing

I want to implement BM clustering with load balancing according to AppNote written by Steve Aitken from March 25, 2005.
It's clear that I need to use two private addresses (from the example, these are 10.10.10.10 and 10.10.10.11). However, I'm not sure what are IP addresses 10.10.10.1 and 10.10.10.2 used for?
Existing BM servers have two NICs: first defined as private and the second as public addresses connected directly to Internet (they are from different subnets).

What do you mean "aren't able to get out through any of the ip
addresses"?
Do the addresses show up in any of the proxy nodes with display secondary
ipaddress? Does the proxy console option 17 show the server listening on
those addresses?
Is the gateway timeout error a BorderManager (or Windows) error? If
BMgr, then check that BMgr has a correct default gateway, DNS is working
(option 4 on proxy console screen) and try dropping filters for a test.

Got it working. I noticed that my dns setting in BM2 didn't coincide with settings in BM1. So, I made them the same and reinitialized the system on both servers. Of course, when I did that, it added the secondary IP addresses. So, I'm really not sure what was stopping it from working before, unless I have something misconfigured that's preventing the secondary addresses from loading. Go figure.

System Using Load Balancing

Hi gurus,
we have to do sso to ECC through portal
we have ECC system with three instance ,i am going for creating SAP System using Load Blancing,
what is the value of server port should i enter.
regards
K Naveen Kishore.

The server port is often maintained by system administrators on the local PC in the c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\services file. The system server port is entered into the file as sapms<SID>.
Check the services file on your computer and see if there is any entry for sapms<SID>. If this entry is maintained, you can put sapms<SID> in your System properties.
You can also choose to enter the tcp port number of your application server or message server here.
The value is generally 3600 or 3601.

Moving SMTP server to Azure with Load balancer

How to
move SMTP server to Azure with Load balancer???

Hi TechM,
Base on my experience, Windows Azure Platform does not provide out-of-the-box mail server (neither SMTP nor POP3). You could use SendGrid to sent mail. About this issue, I recommend you could refer to

Integrating SAP System with Third Party Software

Hi,
I am working on an implementation project and need to integrate SAP system with a third party system. SInce I am a functional consultant, I am finding it tough to understand the integration issues. Can somebody explain me how to link up the two systems and what are the various tools available for this ?
Regards,
Rohit

Hi,
Inorder to integrate various systems we have various interface methodologies provided by SAP.
SAP systems use the following interface technologies:
ALE: Application Link Enabling
BAPI: Business Application Programming Interface
CPI-C: Common Program Interface Communication
EDI: Electronic Data Interchange
HTTP: HyperText Transfer Protocol
LU 6.2: Logical Unit Type 6.2
RFC: Remote Function Call
OLE: Object Linking and Embedding
SMTP: Simple Mail Transfer Protocol
SOAP: Simple Object Access Protocol
TCP/IP: Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol
XML: Extensible Markup Language
In general we use ALEs and BAPIs.
The ALE uses IDOCs as the data transfer medium and need various middle ware systems inorder to receive and process these IDOCs.
BAPIs use Remote enabled functions which can be accessed from any platform also using any language ( like JAVA, VB etc).
Thanks and regards.

Recommended configuration for load balanced Portal with load balancer, multiple gateways and multiple servers.

Does anyone have a recommended network, hardware and software configuration guide for a Portal installation running with multiple gateways load balanced (ie one URL) that talk to multiple servers?

David,
We've used Resonate (software) to load balance the gateways. It allows
you to group all the gateways under 1 virtual URL and load balance the
incoming connections over each gateway depending on the rules that you
define in Resonate. Look in the SUN portal whitepapers there is one that
talks about it specifically.
As far as load balancing the calls to the portals, the gateways will
automatically load balance across all the portals that they know about
using a simple round-robin rotation. You may be able to use Resonate in
front of the portals but you may need to activate persistance within
Resonate to ensure that the user always ends up on the portal that he
established his initial connection on (if you want that), check with Sun
on this one.

Installing SAP system with MSCS

Hi,
Anyone can give me the steps for installing a SAP system with MS cluster?
Window server 2003, MS. SQL 2005, SAP ECC6.0
Regards
Chin

Hi,
Refer SAP Installation guide in http://service.sap.com/instguides
I will give an overview about the installation process.
Basic setup of MSCS 5.2 for SAP involves 2 systems, we will name it as node A(First MSCS node) and B(Additional MSCS node)
3 Cluster groups should be created for SAP, Database, Quorum
MSCS should be configured between node A and B, test the cluster by moving the groups between node A and B. Its very important to note that, Quorum disk group should not be taken offline. If its goes offline there are chances of cluster getting crashed.
Steps to be followed for SAP Cluster Installation
     In Cluster Admin, move the disk groups and shared disks to first MSCS node.
     On the first MSCS node, install the MS SQL Server 2005 64-Bit
             In Cluster Admin, move the disk groups and shared disks to Additional MSCS node.
     On the Additional MSCS node, install the MS SQL Server 2005 64-Bit
     In Cluster Admin, move the disk groups and shared disks to first MSCS node.
     Install the Central Services Instance for ABAP (ASCS) on first MSCS node.
     Install the Central Services Instance for Java (SCS) on first MSCS node.
     Cluster the First MSCS node
     Install the Database Instance on the First MSCS node
     Cluster the Additional MSCS node
     Install Enqueue Replication Server for ABAP and Java(Optional)
     Install the Central Instance
     Install at least one Dialog Instance
Before starting the installation, make sure that system logged on as Cluster Administrator.
Hope it helps

Is it possible to install two SAP system with same SID but different instance numbers on one host?

Is it possible to install two SAP system with same system ID (SID) but different instance numbers on one host?
If yes, then how?
If no, then why?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Sarim

Is it possible to install two SAP system with same system ID (SID) but different instance numbers on one host?
Yes, it is possible. If one is CI (PAS) and the second one is an AS (AAS). In this case there will be only one database.
If you are talking about two separate SAP systems with separate databases (Eg: A BI and an ECC) with the same SID then the problem will be with the database (Eg: Oracle)
The database will be installed under /oracle/SID/112_64 (ORACLE_HOME) unless one database is running on 10 G and in that case the ORACLE_HOME will be /oracle/SID/102_64
The next issue will be with the SAP file systems like /sapmnt/SID
The most important problem will be with the switch to the sidadm and orasid users and the conflicts there. If there is a need to stop one of the SAP systems and if you do a switch to sidadm and issue a stopsap command which system will be stopped ?
These are few of the many problems I can think of.
So if we are talking about two separate systems with their own databases I would rule out the possibility of having two systems with the same SID.
