ACE dual probe AND-action

Hi,
I have the need of a dual probe with a AND-action, ie both probes needs to be down to take the service down.
The following configuration is an OR-operation but I need a AND-operation.
Any? Scripted?
probe https HEALTHCHECK-OPEN-SSL
interval 10
passdetect interval 5
receive 2
ssl version all
request method get url /open/healthcheck.html
expect status 200 200
header User-Agent header-value "Cisco-Probe"
hash
connection term forced
open 2
probe https HEALTHCHECK-SSL
interval 10
passdetect interval 5
receive 2
ssl version all
request method get url /healthcheck.html
expect status 200 200
header User-Agent header-value "Cisco-Probe"
hash
connection term forced
open 2
serverfarm host MOBI-SSL
probe HEALTHCHECK-SSL
probe HEALTHCHECK-OPEN-SSL
rserver MOBI-NY-L 443
inservice
rserver MOBI-NY-R 443
inservice

Hi,
Use the "fail-on-all" command to configure the ACE to take the rserver out of service if all the associated probes fail. You can use this command under the serverfarm or the rserver.

ACE failed probe and established connections

Hello,
I have four ACE 4710. Each pair of ACE is in one geographical location. Probes are configured so that it is checking regular regex (HTTP GET).
When there is need rserver update we change text in our testpage.html (for ie. from "OK" to "SUSPEND" ) so that probe detect fail.
In fact rservers are still operational, but should not accept new connections. This works fine.
BUT I observed that established connection/sessions did not end up after probe fails. ACE probably wait for openned/established connections to end up and it is what I am askign for.
What happens if probe fails but in fact rserver is operational? I thought that if probe fails it also end up/cut all established connections to rserver. But seems it is not true. Does anybody has this experience?
Thanks for your opinion.
Jan

Hello Jan,
if I understood correctly what you're looking for is domented in the area for the failaction command which actually makes the ACE behavior on this aspect configurable:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/app_ntwk_services/data_center_app_services/ace_appliances/vA4_2_0/configuration/slb/guide/rsfarms.html#wp1117375
indeed the default behavior of the ACE is to take a failed real server out of load-balancing rotation for new connections and to allow existing connections to complete.
Hope it helps,
Francesco

ACE: SSL termination, Probe and Redirect problem

Hello,
I have problem with three things: -1) SSL offload, -2) probe, and -3) server redirect.
1) I made SSL offload like shows attached file with "show run". But during going to the VIP address by the browser: https://192.168.254.143 I get window with Java error: java.lang.NullPointerException - I have to click OK on this window and then can work fine. Without SSL offload I don't have this error message in window.
When I have SSL offload I have following configuration:
ssl-proxy service SSL
key klucz.pem
cert certyfikat.pem
serverfarm host SFARM
rserver S1 8080
rserver S2 8080
policy-map multi-match SLB-POLICY
class SLB
ssl-proxy server SSL
Without SSL offloading I have only this:
serverfarm host SFARM
rserver S1 (without 8080!)
rserver S2
2) Right now I have two real servers and I send traffic to them by port TCP 8080. So I made probe to check TCP 8080 port availability.:
probe tcp TCP_8080
port 8080
interval 15
passdetect interval 60
serverfarm host SFARM
rserver S1 8080
probe TCP_8080
inservice
rserver S2 8080
probe TCP_8080
inservice
I want also check port TCP 6400 availability, and I only one from port 8080 or 6400 don't work - make real server unavailable. So must work TCP port 8080 ang 6400 togethet to treat real server as operational.
So I want to make something like this:
probe tcp TEST
port 8080 and 6400 !?! - ofcourse It is impossible but I want to make config with this functionality.
How to do this?
3) I hant to make that when I write in browser https://bo.kw.coig.biz/ = https://192.168.254.143 I want to be redirected to one of real server on address: https://bo.kw.coig.biz/businessobjects/enterprise115/desktoplaunch/InfoView/logon/logon.do
I made something like this:
rserver redirect S3
webhost-redirection https://%h/businessobjects/enterprise115/desktoplaunch/InfoView/logon/logon.do 302
inservice
serverfarm redirect REDIRECT
rserver S3
inservice
policy-map type loadbalance first-match POLICY-TYPE
class class-default
serverfarm REDIRECT
But this configuration dosn't work. I have in browser window with error messeging.
How to do this?

1/ this is a java problem.
Java is telling you that it attempted to use a null pointer. You need to check with the people who created the java program
2/ you can configure multiple tcp probe, one for each port you need to monitor and assign all the probes to the serverfarm.
BTW, you can assign the problem to the entire serverfarm so you don't need to specify it for each rserver.
3/ the problem with your redirect is that you applied to class-default.
So even a request to ...../logon will be redirected to ...../logon.
Therefore you just created a nice loop.
You need to create a class-map to only match the url "/" so the redirect is only applied then.

ACE HTTP Probe with regex

ACE HTTP Probe with regex
Hi,
I'm trying to setup a HTTP probe with expected string rather then a code (config below). I do a GET for the page then a search for a string in the response however it's not working, as probe appears as failed.
I've tested the connection to the server by using telneting and then looking at the page displayed to make sure the string I want to match is in the response.
probe http HTTP-PROBE
port 43050
interval 30
passdetect interval 30
passdetect count 1
request method get url /action=help
open 43050
expect regex action=help
Q. Is there anything wrong with this configuration and what I'm trying to achive?
Thanks,
Pritesh

Use "expect status" under probe config. expect regex doesnt work if expect status is not configured.
expect regex work flawlessly with static pages. It doesnt work all the time with dynamic pages.
Specially if "content-length" header is missing from Server response.
Hope it helps

ACE -- SSH probe

Hello,
We are trying to configure an SSH probe.
I've tried creating a TCP port which checks for port 22, but I want to go further and get the probe to actually log on.
I noticed that only HTTP probes have an option to configure credentials.
Is there a way that I can configure a probe on the ACE to do this without having to create a script?
Thanks.

Hi Michelle,
If you manage to have a TCL script that connects through SSH, you can pass the username and password through arguments of the scripted probe and those arguments could be use to login.
Now how can you use TCL to login through SSH, I'm sorry but I don't know.
Regards,
Nicolas

ACE HTTP Probe Question (HTTP Version)

Hello, I am wondering what HTTP version ACE uses when sending HTTP/HTTPS probes to a web server. I am currently running A2(3.3) if that has any bearing. TIA

Hi,
The default get request method is HTTP/1.1 when the ACE is sending the probe and i dont
think there is a way to change this default behavior.

Dual display and VRAM usage.

Hi, back in the days I wanted a 12" iBook but couldn't afford one, last autumn thought I decided to get a Macbook Pro, the update came and...
.. it had 128MB vram.
I want to use dual screen and maybe even occasional gaming, I couldn't decide if this where sufficient for my needs or not so I waited for the june update.
The mid-07 MBP arrived and, it had 128MB vram AGAIN!
Why oh why Apple? Oh, don't answer that, it's because you're in bed with Intel and want to force feed us useless highest end CPUs. But all I care for is the VRAM, why do I have to pay a ****-of-a-lot for a 1/11th faster CPU?
Anyway, I tried to decide if I should "bit the sour Apple" and get the mid modell or just get the low one because that one is much more price worthy. A few days ago I ordered the low end one.
But then I've seen on barefeats that he says that a 30" ACD display would use 128MB vram of the 256MB vram modell, are vram always splitted between displays in OS X?
You see, if the extra 20" 1680x1050 display only use 1680x1050x(3 or 4) bytes that is ok, maybe even if it's double buffered (is it?), because then I will probably have like 100MB vram left for all my windows and for desktop usage that is probably ok. But if the vram is shared between displays and my 20" which I will use most only get 64MB vram that's quite low.
I know I can turn of the sleeping capabilities of the MBP and shut the lid and only use one screen but that's a quite lame solution.
I hate how Apple does this, and it seems to worry a lot of people. Some get the more expensive modell and hate that they had to do it, some doesn't, and some don't buy a machine at all .. I would probably have stayed in the last crowd.
256MB vram can't have cost them many tens of dollars, why not have that in all modells? Why is the middle one even needed? Just make 2.4GHz CPU and option in that case.
Anyway, does anyone know how much vram my screen will have available? Will 128MB work for me with all the regular desktop apps I will have running? Or should I really go with the 256MB one? The tricky part is that my MBP might be shipped today or similair.
I've called Apple support three times but noone of them knows how this works so they aren't for much help.
(Dell vostro 1500 sells here in Sweden for less than half the price of the mid MBP and comes way more balanced, you can even get a 1680x1050 screen. Sure it has 2.0GHz CPUs or whatever but I don't care about that. Where is the old "omg MHz myth"-Apple? Please understand CPU speed isn't everything. Instead of leading the MHz myth fight it ;D, start calling the CPUs T7300 and so on aswell ;D)

Hi Johan, actually the VRAM used by OS X is likely to be quite a bit more than just your screen resolution multiplied by 3 or 4, since each open window is composited offscreen for the shadow effects and for things like zooming (Ctrl-Mousewheel) and the "Genie effect".
I'm pretty sure the total VRAM isn't divided in half for each of the two displays though, as it will be allocated from the video driver on an as-needed basis. In practice, with both displays active and a few windows open, you should still have maybe 80-90% of your VRAM available for applications.
Games and other VRAM-heavy applications are a special case as these will typically use as much VRAM as you can give them, and swap out to system RAM via the PCI-X bus when they need more (and unlike swapping to disk, swapping into VRAM from system RAM is still pretty fast).

Error message "Firefox is already running but is not responding" - I have read and action the KB - no fix

So before we start - I have read the KB (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-already-running-not-responding) and actioned the advice on how end the processes, delete the parental lock, etc. This gives a temporary but one time only fix and does not resolve the overall issue.
I have also uninstalled and reinstalled the application.
So why do I get the Error message "Firefox is already running but is not responding"?

See also:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_in_use
Note that in Firefox 13+ (expected to be released June 5) the parent.lock file is no longer deleted after closing Firefox to make it possible to check for startup crashes, so the presence of that file will in the future no longer indicate a problem.
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

Import of XML file failed in portal using XML Content and Action

Hi Friends,
I am trying to import the simple XML file which is just creating the folder in the PORTAL_CONTENT using XML CONTENT AND ACTIONS which is one way of creating the portal content. GO TO SYSTEM ADMINISTRATION > TRANSPORT > XML CONTENT AND ACTIONS > IMPORT.
The reason for using this import tool is to upload the backend Business roles, which is not not working on our corporate portal. To test the import functionality I used the following xml file (I got this XML file by exporting the test folder in the portal using the same tool)

PI 7.1(dual stack) and PI 7.31(Single stack) -

Friends,
I have a proxy to proxy scenario - Proxy --> PI --> Proxy
We have two servers PI 7.1(dual stack) and PI 7.31(Single stack)
i did the development in ESR and my ESR is pointing to PI 7.1, when i execute the scenario i receive one error message "receiver could not be determined", i ensured that all my input is correct, still i get the same error message.
the expectation is my scenario should point to PI 7.31, Can some one help me where and what settings i need to make in-order to make it work.
Please Note: All my data is correct and i read some scn forums wherein they asked to refresh the cache , i have refreshed the cache also still the problem persists.
Thanks in advance!

Iñaki Vila
Communication component in ID is the same as sender side.
could you share your sender configuration?
Did you mean Tcode - SXMB_ADM and under that Sender/Receiver configuration
Krupa Rao Atluri
In ID steps are correctly defined.
I spoke to my colleague he hinted that at RUN TIME we want to point to PI7.31, he mentioned config change needed in SXMB_ADM
any further inputs from any one could be useful.

Pass parameter through standard page "import xml content and actions"

Dear Portal experts,
As you know, a standard portal page is configured to allow the import of XML file. It is located in the portal in the path system admin -> transport -> xml content and actions -> import
I configured a quick link u201Cimportu201D to the page so now the link http://myserver:port/irj/portal/import allows me to access directly to this screen.
What I would like to do now is to pass the parameter related to u201Cfile nameu201D through this screen meaning that I would like that http://myserver:port/irj/portal/ import/filename=C:\test.xml fills automatically the fields u201CXML fileu201D with C:\test.xml
Please do you know how to achieve this ?
Thank you very much and regards

hi,
@Maksim :
When user launch an URL like http://myserver:port/irj/portal/ import/*filename=C:\test.xml, he is requested to provide username and password; as this link is a shortcut for the upload xml page, there is a check of authorization and only portal admin that have authorization and permission on this page/iview will be able to upload xml file through the URL. Hope this clarify.
@Kumar :
thank you for your answer. What a pity to not be able to pass parameter through standard portal page/iview particularly knowing that we can pass paramater through many kinds of iviews (transactional iview, url iview, VC iview...). I explored some option on file com.sap.portal.ivs.init.par but this was unsuccessful. However, thanks to this [link bellow|http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/Snippets/ComponenttouploadXMLfilewithPCD+objects], I was able to upload through URL the XML file.
The problem is that I can upload only XML file that are stored in the server not in the local user computer. My requirement is to be able to upload local XML file stored on user's computer.
If someone could provide and idea/solution, I would be very grateful.
Cheers

Thinkpad W520 with Minidock+ Series 3 - Dual monitors and USB fail sporadically

Hello there,
I wonder if anyone has experienced problems ThinkPad W520 and Mini Dock Plus Series 3 (Part number: 433830U)? I run into problems with dual monitor and USB devices.
For dual monitor setup, sometimes only a single monitor is detected, sometimes no monitors are available in the NVidia control panel. Rigorous display detection doesn't help. Disabling Optimus in BIOS doesn't seem to affect it. After I dock and undock couple of times, reboot, unplug the power cord, it seems to resolve and both monitors work fine.
Also, I run into troubles with USB devices (keyboard/mouse). Sometimes they are not detected at all, but if I plug them into different USB ports on the mini dock, they are detected and work fine.
For me this problem happens about 50% of the time when I dock... Any ideas, insights or suggestions are greatly appreciated. Could it be a faulty Thinkpad, docking station or may be both? I really to upgrade next time to W530, but I've been through so many problems with W520, so I don't know if it's a good idea...
Thanks so much.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

If system update isn't finding anything, and the system works just fine on its own, it could potentially be a faulty Dock.
It could be overloaded. Could you try testing the dock using just one monitor, and no keyboard or mouse, to see if you run into the same issue. It would still be a faulty dock, but it may be a potential workaround for the time being.

Variables and Actions in Adobe Acrobat Connect Pro

Hello Gurus,
I have been searching different forums around the net for three days, so I am really frustrated since I cant find anything related to this, and I am even thinking if this is really possible.
I'll try to explain what I wanted to make. I am using Captivate 4 and publishing my content through Adobe Acrobat Connect Pro server. I want to use this "Variables and Actions" Feature of my current version of Captivate. Now, I want that when my user open a training which she is enrolled with, I want her name to appear on the content, like "Hello Irish" something like that, without requiring her to log on her name. How could I make use this variables and actions in captivate 4 to get automatically the "first-name" variable of my user in Adobe Acrobat Connect Pro of my user?
Is this possible guys?
Thanks.
Troy

Hi,
I am looking at Connect Pro right now, and as I can see it on its default page it displays the name and lastname of the logged user, moreover, there is a part where you could either invite existing user, or create existing user, as mentioned in this link: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AcrobatConnectPro/7.5/Using/WS5C856274-D671-4665-9CD0-29868C89 60F2.html so I am thinking If maybe there could be a way where I can retrieve the "first-name"of the user through Variables and Actions of Captivate. Since I am trying to avoid prompting the user to type in their first names, I wish to do automatically, that is if it possible.
Thanks.
Troy
