ACE: Request Method: Options = RST

I am in need of troubleshooting a situation where a user wants to access the load balanced web application (J2EE) with an application called "portal drive".
From my understanding this application utilizes the WebDAV extension and is more or less WebDAV client with "explorer" functionalities.
Application team now complains about following symptoms:
- The Portal Drive client connects to the rservers directly just fine.
- PortalDrive client won't connect using the VIP.
Therefore i sniffed the setup from my client to the VIP and i can see following behavior.
After the initial TCP setup the first HTTP Request used is "Method: OPTIONS". After this request the ACE sends and RST,ACK and drops the connection. This happens every time i connect using the VIP.
So now my approach to find the root cause circles around the two following scenarios.
A: ACE does not support a first request with Method OPTION.
or
B: After the initial request trough the VIP address the server maybe has to be SNAT'ed into the client side vlan.
I hope you guys have an idea how to fix this.
Thanks for reading

Hi Gilles,
we switched of the whole http inspection a while backed due to a previous issue with the PROPFIND option, you might remember that.
I was not aware that the Inspection of WebDAV is now officially supported. So therefore the inspection is unlikely the root cause if this issue.
What about the SNAT thingy, could that be a valid reason?

Missing option to change HTTP request method on iView level

Dear all,
I am trying to implement an iView using the ApplicationIntegrator. Unfortunately I am getting the error message "Request Method POST is not allowed". I found this nice weblog where you have the option on the iView level to change the HTTP request method to "GET". Unfortunately I do not have this parameter.
I am on EP6.0 SP 9.
I really appreciate your help and will reward points.
Thanks,
Jens

I'm not sure I fully follow what the problem is, or I'm misreading the issue.
Just to be clear, you are in Active Directory Domains & Trusts console, you did a click on "Active Directory Domains and Trusts," and then you are saying on the left pane you are not seeing the "Raise Forest Functional Level"
option, such as the following screenshot shows?
I assume there is currently only one domain in the forest.
Was there at any time another domain that was removed, such as a child domain or an additional domain tree, there was removed?
What's the Schema version? To find it, run this without the quotes:
"dsquery * cn=schema,cn=configuration,dc=domainname,dc=local -scope base -attr objectVersion"
Schema Version Matrix:
============================
Version 13 = Windows Server 2000
Version 30 = Windows Server 2003 RTM, Windows Server 2003 with Service Pack 1, Windows Server 2003 with Service Pack 2
Version 31 = Windows Server 2003 R2
Version 44 = Windows Server 2008
Version 47 = Windows Server 2008 R2
Version 56 = Windows Server 2012 RTM

ACE http probe "request method type" mandatory on A3(2.6)?

Hi people,
I recently upgraded to A3(2.6) from A3(2.0) and I don't see the N/A option on the http probe "request method type".
It also has an asterisk * which means it's mandatory.
I tried to set up a new http probe for another farm I am creating and the probe shows status failed, although I can ping and telnet to the http server on port 80 from the ACE context. My probe is like that:
probe http http_probe_WWW
interval 15
passdetect interval 60
expect status 200 200
open 10
My other http probes for other farms work ok after the upgrade and they are similar.
So my question is: Do I need to set the request method type or something else causes the probe to fail?
thanks a lot.
George

What you see is a problem with the GUI.
CSCtg78008 while creating http probe default method slected should be get as in CLI
But the request-method is not required.
So your config should work.
Do a 'show probe detail' to see the failure reason.
Get a sniffer trace as well.
Regards,
Gilles.

Error "request method not found" in Collaboration?

Hi,
using Collaboration Instant Messaging, after a brief time without chat activity, casts the error popup message "request method not found"
After this message, user click OK and message close, but from that moment, beginning to have problemas navigating, clicking any tab, Portal is always going to the first tab (default page) and is trapped there.
choosing any tab in Top Level Navigation, always return to initial page (the first tab in TLN). (navigation is like "hang")
In addition, Collaboration Instant Messaging becomes offline, and no longer allow user to reconnect. Most of users has problems with online status, some users never appear in green, and others can turn online, but after several minutes, turn offline suddenly.
Version is EP 7.0 SP12
Any help will be appreciated
thanks in advance,

Business Service with multiple HTTP Request Methods

hi all -
I'm new to OSB and trying to prototype a solution. I have a service provider that exposes a number of HTTP operations (GET/PUT/POST/DELETE). It's a JAX-RS implementation.
I was looking to create 1 proxy service and 1 business service for that service provider. But, within my business service, I must chose a 'HTTP Request Method' and it allows only 1 type (either GET, PUT, POST, DELETE). So, I have something working, but only for a single type (POST in my prototype). I figure I could create more proxy and business services for the other HTTP Request Methods, but I'm not sure if this is the correct approach (design/architecture).
My other thought was to create a proxy service to front the service provider, but looking at the documentation, it looks like there should be a business service for each proxy service. If it's possible to use a proxy service without a business service to mediate the service provider, where would I add my URLs for the service provider in the proxy service.
My apologies on the 2 part architecture/design question. I thought the group would help with getting me started.
thanks jim

Synchronous RFC-XI-Web Service with no request method

Hello guys,
I'm trying to set up an RFC-XI-Web Service scneario. But with the particularitity that the WSDL does not have a request method. It only has a very simple response method.
How can I make this? How can XI call the Web Service, if I dont have any request method?
Thanks for your help.
Felipe

Matias, after some test I think that VJ is correct.
It is failing at the moment of delivering the message to the WS, I'm getting the followin error messages:
com.sap.aii.af.ra.ms.api.DeliveryException: invalid content type for SOAP: TEXT/PLAIN; HTTP 302 Moved Temporarily
I tested the WS with XMLspy and works correctly.
I'm starting to believe that the best solution is to simply create a dummy request in the WS.
It would be great if someone else test in their own and see if we get the same result. Thanks,
Felipe

             Serializable vcnt = am.invokeMethod("processPOData",param);
Below code written in AM:
public void InsertRecord()
        XXDPECONTAINERVOImpl vo = getXXDPECONTAINERVO1();
        vo.setMaxFetchSize(0);
        XXDPECONTAINERVORowImpl row = (XXDPECONTAINERVORowImpl)vo.createRow();
        oracle.jbo.domain.Number empNum = (oracle.jbo.domain.Number)getOADBTransaction().getSequenceValue("XXDPE_CONTAIN_SEQ");
        row.setContainerizationId(empNum);
        vo.insertRow(row);
        row.setNewRowState(row.STATUS_INITIALIZED);
Please help me out.

hi,
PR() will be called whenever your page will load, so the number of times you will load your page all the time your PR will be called and it will call the AM method.
otherwise put some condition and call the insert method from your PR.

Cannot find the ''Positioning Methods'' option on ...

Hello....I have recently bought the C7-00 and I wanted to test my GPS but I could not find the "Positioning Methods'' option to select the A-GPS, so can anyone help on this.
Thank you.

Do you not have a Location app in your Applications Folder ? As CJ mentioned , that is where you set your location methods to on/off. Inside Location you should have 3 sub folders, Landmarks,GPS data and Positioning. Open Positioning and you should be able to change the settings !
If I have helped at all, a click on the White Star is always appreciated :

CAF-CORe: Access methods option missing in CE7.11

HI Friends,
I am using Ce7.11 preview version.
I have created CAF Project->BO Nodes.
Now i have created Application service .Now i need to create Aceess methods.
In NWDS70 we used to have Access methods wherein when we check the CRUD methods, they are going to generate.
In CE7.11 i am unable to see those Access methods, Query methods option.
whay i see is Custom Option wherein to create individual operation adn BX extractor, the Other two options are missing.
Are the options removed from CE7.11?
Should we generatee teach operation manually ?

No synchronous Request/Reply option in B2B config wizard step 5 of 7 ?

I have a customer running SOA Suite 11.1.1.5 who has created a BPEL process
and added a B2B partner link to the reference swim lane.
They want to send a 270 document to a partner and receive a 271 on the same HTTP Channel as a Sync Req/Reply
When the customer runs the B2B wizard, it successfully connects to their WLS Server and at
Step 5 of 7 in the wizard they see radio buttons for
o Send
o Receive
They do not have radio buttons further down for
o Synchronous Request/Response
o Outbound
o Inbound
Does anyone have any ideas why not?
I have a sample running on my local server which is also 11.1.1.5 and
the Synchronous Request/Response radio buttons do appear.
thanks
Bob

Bob,
I don't think PS4 (11.1.1.5) has this option available -

I'd like to suggest/request new option for Touch Pad functionality

Hi,
My name is Shahar. I am a HW eng and I've been using T61 for the past 3 years. It's my work laptop, but I am happy with it. Its way better than my previous cra^#@%#^%!!! Laptop.
I'd like to suggest / request a simple addition to the touchpad driver from the development guys in lenovo. My suggestion is about the usage of the touch-pad.
Currently, the touch pad works like this: I drag my finger on the pad from point (x0,y0) to point (X1,Y1) thus "drawing" a vector , and the pointer moves in the same angle of my vector. The length of that movement is of course depends also on my touch-pad driver configuration.
What I really, really, really, really want is to not have to drag my finger. I wish the touch pad will work in the following manner:
Lets define a virtual middle of the touch pad as point (Xm,Ym), and were I touch the pad as point (Xt,Yt).
I want the pointer to move according to the angle of a vector starting a point (Xm,Ym) and pointing to (Xt,Yt), and I want it to move in a speed which is relative to the distance between the points. Point (Xm,Ym) is where the pointer is now, and point (Xt,Yt) is the direction I want the pointer to move. The pointer should move as long as I keep touching the pad, and stop when I remove my finger.
That's all .
I would have added such an option to the touchpad driver myself if I had the means....
Is this feasible ?
Maybe I can get info on how to communicate with the touchpad ?
Thanks,
Shahar.

I have a couple things I would add as well:
"An option to link/ unlink ALL selected mask layers, instead of having to go down manually doing it on each masked layer." that wouldve saved me literally an hour at work today.
My request is to have a "liquify all" option where you can essentially easily batch all selected masks or layers and apply a saved mesh without having to do it manually.
As a person who professionally uses photoshop for 8 hrs a day every day this feature would save me an easy half hour on many files. It also would cut down on the "mistakes" we make by missing one random but essential mask.
One more suggestion is to enable "warp" in transform to work with the "transform again" command as it is the only one of the forms of transformations that does not allow it.
Thanks for reading

ACE SM sending a RST prematurely

I have run into an odd situation where the ACE sends a TCP reset for the public leg of a TCP session prematurely. The setup looks something like this.
Internet-->FWSM(context)-->ACE-->rservers
client upload     NAT exemption          routed
                                 For VIP
                                          <--RST
The client reports that this seems to happen most frequently on slow connection with a fair amount of packet loss. I cannot make any such claim but it is their theory. A capture from the ACE doesn't reveal anything obvious. The ACE sends ACK with Seq-1 Ack- 51777 Win29852 at timestamp 0.641248. It then follows with a RST with Seq -1 Ack - 51777 Win29852 at timestamp 0.641405 with no apparent reason why. The last packet sent by the rserver prior to this termination had Seq - 1 Ack - 51778 Win 63480 with a timestamp of 0.615157.
I don't really have much else to go on right now. I'm still digging through show commands and show-tech in the hopes that I find something. Does anyone out there have any thoughts?
Thanks,
Dave

Hi David,
For these kind of issues, the best approach would be opening a TAC case to have it investigated further.
The traffic capture you got and a showtech from the ACE would be a good start, but even better if you could get a capture showing both the client and server sides of the connection and a showtech before and after the test.

Lightning request to OPTIONS /dav/home/ 404 causes excessive logging

Warning: There has been an error reading data for calendar: MyCal. However, this error is believed to be minor, so the program will attempt to continue. Error code: READ_FAILED. Description:
User reports that Lightning was set up and working a week before these errors started.
Does anyone know what could be triggering Lightning to experience this problem?

This is an example technique to protect against this Lightning bug. Essentially, if the server process notices that a single client has requested /dav/home/something/ more than X times during its lifetime, then it issues a 403 error, which causes Lightning to break out of its loop. Keep in mind that the code below hasn't been completely tested.
It requires:
<ul>
<li>Use Apache with mod_proxy in front of the CalDAV server</li>
<li>Use mod_perl (version 2) in order to hook into the early stages of the HTTP request cycle</li>
<li>Apache is built to use the "worker" MPM</li>
<li>MaxRequestsPerChild is configured appropriately in proportion to what you configure "PerlSetVar block_lim" below.</li>
</ul>
Install this Perl module in your Perl INC path:
<blockquote>
package DOSProtect;
use strict;
use warnings;
use Apache2::Const qw(:common :log);
use Apache2::RequestRec;
use Apache2::Request;
use Apache2::Connection;
use Apache2::Log;
# this is a global variable that does not lose state
# during the life of the apache process
my %state;
sub handler {
my $r = shift;

my $block_lim = $r->dir_config('block_lim');
# get the URI and IP from the apache request

my $ip = $r->connection->remote_ip();
# misconfiguration? - bail out
return DECLINED unless ( $block_uri and $block_lim and $uri and $ip );
