Adding Application Server

I couldn't find any resources on Google.... so please advise if possible :)
Given a farm with only one application server, I know that if that server goes down, Central Administration is not accessible. If I wanted to make that tier safer, would it be advised to join a second application server to the farm? If so, how would I make
it so that if the first application server went down, the second one can still have a CA instance?
Thank you so much :)

Yes you can add a second application server to host the CA for high availiability. You have to start the Central Administration service on the second application server (and other services running on your first app server since you plan
for high availiability) and you might want to configure the alternate access mapping accordingly.
You can read more info here: http://www.harbar.net/articles/spca.aspx

Adding Application server guide ?

hello friends,
We are having SAP 4.7 x200 ,with MS SQL 2000 .
Our current production server is acting as both database server
and application , now due to performance issues we are planning
to add new application server along with older one ,keeping older as it
(we want to keep older server as database and application and newer one as only application).
I am looking for SAP notes in accordance with above landsacpe configuration .
thanks in advance
jase

Hi Jase,
In your case, you are installing a new Application server which is called Dialog Instance(DI) server. You better go through the original installation guides only, there it will be explained about Central Instance(CI) and DI installations.

Adding another application server.

Hi Experts,
My company is having 2 system landscape.
DEV & QAS in one and PRD in one server.
in recent years, my company is growing faster.
i.e increasing number of End users and database growth.
and now the task is to add 2 or more application servers.
my doubts about application server are as follows:-
1 *Deploying application server means is tht installation of sap central instance in
new server or installing an Dailog instance ?
2 *How to add new installed application server to the existing land scape ?
3 *how to group up the added application servers in to a group , so that the
user will get connected to sap by tht group of application server?
requesting you to give some inputs on adding new application server and
solution for database growth ?

Hi graham,
You mean to say, if i install Dailog instance in new server and connected to lan with same ip class as PRD server. that will appear in SMLG.
so, there is no concept of selecting new server from PRD. i.e by STMS router or RFC .
and after adding the new application server i can create new group in SMLG
(by combining all the application servers, so tht user logons will be distributed.)
is that right.
if any RFC connection has to maintained from PRD to new application server.
please let me know that.
thanking you

Hi Prateek,
Even i have installed a dialog instnce for my for my XI production server on a seperate node. I am using a web dispatcher as a load balancer.
I am just wondering how and at what level the load will be balanced in a PI system.
Kindly suggest.

Adding JBoss Application Server for Monitoring

How do you add a JBoss Application Server for monitoring? Is there a way to add it silently like silent install of the host target?

It is a manual process, you need to launch Jboss discover UI using Targets > Middlware page.
Also, please use JVMD for more detailed analysis.
You need to specify JARs based on the version of the JBoss -
Note - Please check the support site for exact certified versions of JBoss.
JBoss 4:
dom4j.jar jboss-management.jar jnp-client.jar
jbossall-client.jar jboss-client.jar
JBoss 5:
concurrent.jar jboss-javaee.jar jboss-serialization.jar
dom4j.jar jboss-jsr77-client.jar jbosssx-as-client.jar
jbossall-client.jar jboss-logging-spi.jar jbosssx-client.jar
jboss-client.jar jboss-management.jar jnp-client.jar
jboss-common-core.jar jboss-remoting.jar jboss-integration.jar jboss-security-spi.jar
JBoss 6:

If you plan to use JVMD then you should select Remote Agent for discovery/monitoring.
JNDI service should be configured and Naming Service port should be open.
Agent should be able to communicate with the host and JNDI port.
Above list of JARs to be copied on the agent machine (location provided as library path during discovery)
Could you please share customer details and usecases.

Adding Oracle Application Server to JDeveloper

Hii,
I want to add Oracle Application Server 10.1.2g to my Application Server list in JDeveloper 10.1.3g.
I am stuck in the point where it asks for the "Remote Server's Oracle Home Directory".
Whenever I supply with the path e.g. "D:\OraHome_1", or "\\node1\OraHome_1", it says "Invalid Directory".
The Oracle Application Server is installed in a different computer in the network.
Actually, I would like to add it to my JDeveloper, so that, I can deploy my applications directly through JDeveloper, without having to use the Oracle application Server Enterprise Manager console.
Please help...

Log into Oracle Application Server Enterprise Manager and get the correct path from the information of the instance you're intending deploying to (eg. home). You have write the directory path as it is displayed (even UPPER and lower case is important).

HOW TO: Set up your application server to run BC4J

How To set up your application server to run BC4J.
INTRODUCTION
A running BC4J application is actually the combination of:
* Your own application files
* BC4J runtime libraries
In order to successfully run your BC4J application in local mode, the first requirement is
that your application server contains the necessary BC4J libraries.
This How To describes the steps required to ensure that you have a functional
BC4J runtime environment installed on your application server.
Oracle IAS 1.0.2 and Tomcat 3.1 will be used as examples.
THE BC4J RUNTIME LIBRARIES
Whatever application server you deploy to, the following libraries
are required in the following order to be in the classpath.
BC4J Libraries:
xmlparserv2.jar
jdev-rt.zip
jbojdbcpatch.zip
connectionmanager.zip
jbohtml.zip
jboimdomains.zip
ordim817.zip
ordvir817.zip
ordhttp.zip
jbomt.zip
jbodomorcl.zip
jboremote.zip
jndi.jar
jbodatum12.zip
These libraries can be found in <JDEV_HOME>/lib/
INSTALLING THE LIBRARIES ON IAS:
Installing the libraries is simply a matter of copying them to the
application server's filesystem and adding them to the classpath.
IAS's classpath can be modified by editing the file:
<IAS_HOME>\Apache\Jserv\conf\jserv.properties
In this file you'll find the existing pre-installed BC4J libraries which
looks like this:
wrapper.classpath=<IAS_HOME>\Apache\BC4J\lib\ordvir817.zip
wrapper.classpath=<IAS_HOME>\Apache\BC4J\lib\ordim817.zip
etc.
Note! These BC4J libraries correspond to JDeveloper 3.1.1.
In order to run JDev 3.2 based applications you will have to update these libraries
to JDeveloper 3.2 production.
Steps:
1. Copy (or FTP) the JDev 3.2 BC4J libraries from <JDEV_HOME>\lib to a NEW directory on the
appserver's filesystem called:
<IAS_HOME>\Apache\BC4J\newlib
2. Modify the classpath by editing <IAS_HOME>\Apache\Jserv\conf\jserv.properties.
Example: (modified classpath entries)
# New 3.2 BC4J Runtime libraries
wrapper.classpath=<IAS_HOME>\Apache\BC4J\newlib\xmlparserv2.jar
wrapper.classpath=<IAS_HOME>\Apache\BC4J\newlib\jdev-rt.zip
wrapper.classpath=<IAS_HOME>\Apache\BC4J\newlib\jbojdbcpatch.zip
wrapper.classpath=<IAS_HOME>\Apache\BC4J\newlib\connectionmanager.zip
wrapper.classpath=<IAS_HOME>\Apache\BC4J\newlib\jbohtml.zip
wrapper.classpath=<IAS_HOME>\Apache\BC4J\newlib\jboimdomains.zip
wrapper.classpath=<IAS_HOME>\Apache\BC4J\newlib\ordim817.zip
wrapper.classpath=<IAS_HOME>\Apache\BC4J\newlib\ordvir817.zip
wrapper.classpath=<IAS_HOME>\Apache\BC4J\newlib\ordhttp.zip
wrapper.classpath=<IAS_HOME>\Apache\BC4J\newlib\jbomt.zip
wrapper.classpath=<IAS_HOME>\Apache\BC4J\newlib\jbodomorcl.zip
wrapper.classpath=<IAS_HOME>\Apache\BC4J\newlib\jboremote.zip
wrapper.classpath=<IAS_HOME>\Apache\BC4J\newlib\jndi.jar
wrapper.classpath=<IAS_HOME>\Apache\BC4J\newlib\jbodatum12.zip
Note: Make sure to remove or comment out the existing 3.1.1 BC4J library entries!
To see the changes, you must restart IAS and that's it, your IAS will be updated with
the JDev 3.2 BC4J libraries which allow you to run BC4J Data Tags among other
things!
INSTALLING THE LIBRARIES ON TOMCAT
As before, this process involves both the copying of the libraries
and modifying the classpath.
After copying the BC4J libraries to a path accessible from Tomcat,
you can modify Tomcat's classpath by editing it's startup script:
<TOMCAT_HOME>\bin\tomcat.bat (NT)
<TOMCAT_HOME>\bin\tomcat.sh (Unix)
Here is a portion of a modified tomcat.bat (on NT)
rem Add BC4J libraries
set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;D:\bc4j_lib\xmlparserv2.jar
set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;D:\bc4j_lib\jdev-rt.zip
set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;D:\bc4j_lib\jbojdbcpatch.zip
set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;D:\bc4j_lib\connectionmanager.zip
set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;D:\bc4j_lib\jbohtml.zip
set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;D:\bc4j_lib\jboimdomains.zip
set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;D:\bc4j_lib\or dim817.zip
set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;D:\bc4j_lib\ordvir817.zip
set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;D:\bc4j_lib\ordhttp.zip
set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;D:\bc4j_lib\jbomt.zip
set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;D:\bc4j_lib\jbodomorcl.zip
set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;D:\bc4j_lib\jboremote.zip
set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;D:\bc4j_lib\jndi.jar
set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;D:\bc4j_lib\jbodatum12.zip
rem Add Oracle JDBC library
set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;D:\bc4j_lib\classes12.zip
Note: I also added the Oracle JDBC library since Tomcat does not have it.
It is found at:
<JDEV_HOME>\jdbc\lib\oracle8.1.7\classes12.zip
And That's It!
When Tomcat is restarted using this script, the necessary BC4J libraries
will be in the classpath..
A follow up How To:"How To Deploy a BC4J JSP Application on IAS and Tomcat"
will be posted shortly!

I copied the following files in jserv classpath
bc4jct.jar
bc4jctejb.jar
bc4jdomorcl.jar
bc4jhtml.jar
bc4jimdomains.jar
bc4jmt.jar
bc4jmtejb.jar
bc4juixtags.jar

In the JDK 1.3 APi docs, i found that TimerTask was introduced only in JDK 1.3
Does this mean that BC4J (in jdev 9031) will only work
with JDK 1.3 or later?
Thanks for your time.

Client-cert auth impl in web.xml does not work in Oracle Application Server

Hi,
I am new to implementing security features on the web applications.. I have developed a new web service using jdev1012 and deployed in OAS 10.1.2. Its working fine according to the business requirements, but I am in need of implementing client-cert authentication to enable the web service available to only those who have client certificate.
My server details are:
Oracle Application Server 10g Release 2 (10.1.2)
Server certificate is in place and SSL mode have been already enabled.. able to access my web service through https://<mydomain.com>/myws/TreqWS as well able to see the WSDL file through https://<mydomain.com>/myws/TreqWS?WSDL.
I tried to include the following in my web.xml file as part of implementing CLIENT-CERT authentication.
<security-constraint>
<display-name>SecurityConstraint</display-name>
<web-resource-collection>
<web-resource-name>WSCollection</web-resource-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</web-resource-collection>
<user-data-constraint>
<transport-guarantee>CONFIDENTIAL</transport-guarantee>
</user-data-constraint>
</security-constraint>
<login-config>
<auth-method>CLIENT-CERT</auth-method>
<realm-name>WSCollection</realm-name> 
</login-config>
It is not woking as expected, though I have restarted my oc4j container after including this content to the web.xml file. i.e, I am able to invoke the web service though my sample java client program, though I donot have client certificate/keystore.
I believe I am missing something..Can anyone help me in this regard to implement CLIENT-CERT authentication successfully?
Thanks,
Ms

I am having the same problem with doc and xsl. I have added this
<mime-mapping>
<extension>xls</extension>
<mime-type>application/vnd.ms-excel</mime-type>
</mime-mapping>
<mime-mapping>
<extension>doc</extension>
<mime-type>application/msword</mime-type>
</mime-mapping>
to my web.xml. I even restarted the server. I still see doc and xsl in binary.
Is there some other setting that needs to take place?
I am using WL6.1 with fixpack 1.
I can see the doc and excel files in the browser if I don't go through the weblogic
server. That just confirms it's not my browser.
Kumar Allamraju <[email protected]> wrote:
<!doctype html public "-//w3c//dtd html 4.0 transitional//en">

It works fine for me in 6.1 SP1.
 
If the following doesn't work , can you
 try application/winword instead of application/msword?

Unable to open PWA in browser and MSP on application server in project server 2007. ERROR: Sending the Soap message failed or no recognizable response was received.

Hi All,
I am using project server 2007 and WSS 3.0.
I have been facing a strange issue for couple of days. I am unable to open PWA in browser and MS Project Pro on application server.
Everything is correct whether it is URL or MS Project profile account on MSP. This is strange because i can open same PWA/MSP from other computers (Database server / Client PCs) but not locally on server.
When i try to connect to MSP on App server, i get the following errors in event viewer.
Event Type: Error

One more issue i am facing and i guess that is related to above issue. The Issue is, when i am creating a new project, It's workspace gets created but doesn't get linked to the project and i can't link it manually because it already exists for the project.

Hi Paul ,
Thanks for reply. The project server URL was already added to the Trusted

How to disable TRACE on Web Application Server v 7.0?

Hello Professional Sun Users,
According to:
http://blogs.sun.com/meena/entry/disabling_trace_in_sun_java
I can disable HTTP TRACE by either through:
1. Adding the following code into obj.conf
<Client method="TRACE">
AuthTrans fn="set-variable"
remove-headers="transfer-encoding"
set-headers="content-length: -1"
error="501"
</Client>
which I get 413 Request Entity Too Large
here is my obj.conf file:
# Sun Microsystems, Inc. - obj.conf
# You can edit this file, but comments and formatting changes
# might be lost when the admin server makes changes.
# Use only forward slashes in pathnames--backslashes can cause
# problems. See the documentation for more information.
<Object name="default">
<Client method="TRACE">
AuthTrans fn="set-variable" remove-headers="transfer-encoding" set-headers="content-length: -1" error="501"
</Client>
AuthTrans fn="match-browser" browser="*MSIE*" ssl-unclean-shutdown="true"
NameTrans fn="ntrans-j2ee" name="j2ee"
NameTrans fn="pfx2dir" from="/mc-icons" dir="D:/Sun/AppServer7U10/lib/icons" name="es-internal"
NameTrans fn="document-root" root="$docroot"

Service method="(GET|HEAD)" type="magnus-internal/directory" fn="index-common"
Service method="(GET|HEAD|POST)" type="*~magnus-internal/*" fn="send-file"
Error fn="error-j2ee"

ObjectType fn="force-type" type="magnus-internal/cgi"
Service fn="send-cgi"
</Object>
<Object name="es-internal">
PathCheck fn="check-acl" acl="es-internal"
</Object>
or
2. adding the following code into generated.server1.acl and genwork.server1.acl
deny absolute (http_trace, http_put, http_delete, http_move, http_mkdir, http_rmdir) user="anyone";
which I get 200 OK
My generated.server1.acl file:
version 3.0;
acl "default";
authenticate (user, group) {
prompt = "Sun ONE Application Server";
deny absolute (http_trace, http_put, http_delete, http_move, http_mkdir, http_rmdir) user="anyone";
acl "es-internal";
deny absolute (http_trace, http_put, http_delete, http_move, http_mkdir, http_rmdir) user="anyone";
and genwork.server1.acl file:
version 3.0;
acl "default";
authenticate (user, group) {
prompt = "Sun ONE Application Server";
deny absolute (http_trace, http_put, http_delete, http_move, http_mkdir, http_rmdir) user="anyone";
acl "es-internal";
deny absolute (http_trace, http_put, http_delete, http_move, http_mkdir, http_rmdir) user="anyone";
Both methods of disabling HTTP TRACE seems not working......... Could anyone point where had went wrong?
Thank you

Could you please tel me why the first 8 lines were removed, till <Soap:Body and also added the line <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> in the beggining .
Becuase there will be lot of XML files will be coming from the Vendor daily and that should be uploaded in the application server and should update in the SAP tables based on the data in the XML file.
what information i need to give to vendor that do not add the first 8 lines in the XML file and add the line in the beggining <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> ??????
Is there any other way we can do with out removing the lines?

Application server problem after upgrade from 4.6C to ECC 6.0

Hi all,
We have recently upgraded our test server form 4.6C to ECC 6.0.
In one of the programs we are using open dataset to write files to
application server. This particular folder had been mapped through "Map Network
Drive function" in windows. The path we have given in the program
as "<Drive>:\<Folder>\File Name".
Code :
DATA : zdsnb(45).
ZDSNB = 'R:\SAPPayroll\zpaysheet.prn'
OPEN DATASET zdsnb IN TEXT MODE.
In 4.6C this particular format was reading without any problem. But
after the upgrade, system is throwing an error "File cannot be read".
We have checked the NTFS share rights and rights for the mapped drive.
It's "Everyone" full access.
Our OS: Windows 2003 server 64 bit
Database : MS SQL 2005 64 bit.
Most of HR related testing is based on this access. Pl suggest a
solution, so that we can go ahead with our testing and upgrade of other
servers.
Regards,
Adeeb

Am a little confused by which way your slashes are going, but if they're Ok try adding phrases below.
open dataset p_uxfile for input in text mode encoding default.
Best!

Urgent.... Help Needed for Storing file in Application Server

Hi All,
I have a requirement where in I have to save a file in Application Server.
File is of 141 Character Length, so there can be spaces left at the end.
When I am downloading the file into Application Sever and then downloading the same file from Application Server to Presentation into a notepad then the spaces at the end are truncating.
I want that the file that is generated should be of 141 character though if there may be spaces at the end.
It will be great if you can help me out in this.
Thanks in Advance.
Jayant Sahu.

when downloading to App server, you need to specify the LENGTH option on your TRANSFER ststement to keep fixed length. You must also use a STRING type variable in your transfer.
From Documentation on Transfer command:
If the file was opened as a text file or a legacy text file, the trailing blank characters are deleted for all data objects, except for those of data type string. The line end marker defined when the file was opened is then added to the remaining content of the data object or to the result of the conversion, and the final result is written byte-by-byte to the file.
There also used to be a problem with WS_DOWNLOAD - you had to do the following:
Maintaining Trailing spaces when downloading to PC
Before calling DOWNLOAD or WS_DOWNLOAD, do a perform SET_TRAIL_BLANKS(saplgrap) using 'X'
To set the length of each record including your blanks add this code: perform SET_FIXLEN(saplgrap) using '0' '100'
Don't think this is needed any more.

Problem with saving data in text file in Application server

Hello Experts,
I am trying to save a text file in application server.When I text file have less that 60000 (i.e 59999) records, it saves the file successfully, but if records in text file (saved in application server) is more than 60000 (i.e 60002), it creates a new file at the 60000th record with the continued records.
Can anyone please advise, why it is creating a new file if records are more that 60000. I tested it with 59000 records in my internal table and it is working fine. I have not given any restriction in my program to create a new file if records are more than 60000.
The logic I implemented is the following:
*Open file
open dataset g_accnt_file for output in text mode encoding utf-8.
if sy-subrc = 0.
    clear g_header_record.
*Building header record for Accounting Validation file
    concatenate gc_hdr_desc
                gc_filetype
                gc_sequence
                gc_idntf_refresh
                gc_cmpny_idntf
                gc_accnt_id
                sy-datum
                sy-uzeit
                gc_linde_group
                sy-sysid
                gc_not_used into g_header_record separated by
                                           gc_deliminator.
    transfer g_header_record to g_accnt_file.
*Move Cost center data to file to create a detail record for Accounting
*Validation file
    loop at gt_csks into gs_csks.
*Remove leading Zeros
      call function 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_OUTPUT'
        exporting
          input = gs_csks-kostl
        importing
          output = gs_csks-kostl.
*      Overlay gs_csks-kostl with space.
*      SHIFT gs_csks-kostl RIGHT DELETING TRAILING gc_space.
*Prepare Cost Centre String
      perform prepare_costcentre_string.
*Prepare detail record with Company Code & Cost Centre
      perform prepare_detail_record.
      clear:g_detail_record,gs_csks,g_coa.
    endloop.
*Move Order data to file to create a detail record for Accounting
*Validation file
    loop at gt_aufk into gs_aufk.
*Remove leading Zeros
      call function 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_OUTPUT'
        exporting
          input = gs_aufk-aufnr
        importing
          output = gs_aufk-aufnr.
*      SHIFT gs_aufk-aufnr RIGHT DELETING TRAILING gc_space.
*Prepare Order String
      perform prepare_order_string.
*Prepare detail record with Company Code & Order
      perform prepare_detail_record.
      clear:g_detail_record,gs_aufk,g_coa.
    endloop.
*Move WBS data to file to create a detail record for Accounting
*Validation file
    loop at gt_prps into gs_prps.
      call function 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ABPSP_OUTPUT'
        exporting
          input = gs_prps-pspnr
        importing
          output = g_wbs_element.
*      SHIFT g_wbs_element RIGHT DELETING TRAILING gc_space.
*Prepare WBS Element String
      perform prepare_wbs_string.
*Prepare detail record with Company Code & WBS Element
      perform prepare_detail_record.
      clear:g_detail_record,gs_prps,g_coa.
    endloop.
*Building trailer record for Accounting Validation file which will
*contain the total number of detail records in file
    concatenate gc_trail_desc
                g_total_count
                into g_trailer_record
                separated by gc_deliminator.
    transfer g_trailer_record to g_accnt_file.
*Close file
    close dataset g_accnt_file.

Hi Pankaj,
Can u check the concatenate statement with one more data. Check the no of lines for a single file.
    concatenate gc_hdr_desc
                gc_filetype
                gc_sequence
                gc_idntf_refresh
                gc_cmpny_idntf
                gc_accnt_id
                sy-datum
                sy-uzeit
                gc_linde_group
                sy-sysid
                sy-subrc
                gc_not_used into g_header_record separated by
                                           gc_deliminator.

Downloading file from application server in Binary mode

Hi,
I am trying to read an application server file using open dataset in Binary Mode..
While downloading using gui_download method the file is getting truncated because of its size.
My questions are,
 How to increase the size of the internal table dynamically. Already tried using STRING type but it is not accepting.
 If I use the CHAR type with maximum length 65535 and if the length of the file is less than that then in the remaining spaces box like symbols are printed .
How can I achieve it.
Thanks & Regards,
NJ
