Application Discovery and Load Balancer Service Application - Load Distribution

Hello,
We have a four server farm with no external load balancer. All of the servers are configured as WFEs.
Is there a console in central admin or in site settings where I can see which request goes to which server?
Many thanks,

Thank you Alex.
It has been set up this way ever since the application went live, why or who did this I do not know. The application is mainly used as a docu-share and there are a fair bit of users (~30,000) on it now. Bulk of the users access it once a month.
I think it probably is time to change this design as users have started complaining about slowness. We tried putting in an external load balancer, but it made things worse.

How to remove farm account from Application Discovery and Load Balancer Service Application

Hello Community
    Using Sharpoint 2010 Server I think the reason
the User Profile Synchronization would stop is because somehow the farm
account was registered as a managed account. So I removed the farm
account from all services that ran under the farm account so that I could
run Remove-SPManagedAccount or click the Remove icon in manage service accounts
and then unregisted farm account as a managed account.
   But before I can run Remove-SPManagedAccount I need to remove it from one more
service account that uses the farm account which is:
    "Application Discovery and Load Balanceer Service Account".
    However, nothing seems to remove it from there.
    I tried :
"get-spserviceapplication | where {$_.TypeName -match "Application Discovery and Load Balancer Service Application"}
    and then
"stop-spserviceinstance "dde7fbef-b068-4687-bedb-f67230efab5a"
    amongst a host of other methods so that I could ultimately
unregister farm account as a managed account.
    But no matter what I do when I try to remove the farm account from Application Discovery
and Load Balancer Service Application
and then unregister the farm account as a managed account a message always says
"Application Discovery and Load Balancer Service Application" is using the farm account
as its service account.
    What can I do to free the farm account from Application Discovery and Load Balancer Service Application?
    Thank you
    Shabeaut

The Farm Account is always a Managed Account and can never be "unmanaged". You don't have to set the automatic password roll.

Bug with Network Load Balancing Services and SkipAsSource always reverting to true

Steps to reproduce:
Add an IP address to the cluster (2 nodes running Windows Server 2012) using the Network Load Balancing Manager
Using PowerShell set the SkipAsSource flag on the IP Address to true (Set-NetIpAddress -IpAddress 192.168.1.10 -SkipAsSource $true). The flag is correctly set.
Try to reverse the setting (Set-NetIpAddress -IpAddress 192.168.1.10 -SkipAsSource $false). Flag stays as true.
It appears as though Network Load Balancing Services is remembering the setting from someone.
Things I've tried all without success (in no particular order):
Removing the IP address from the cluster and adding it back in
Using PowerShell to remove the IP address and add it back in manually (on each host).Flag stays set as true on the 1st node but takes a second before it reverts back to true on the 2nd node.
Using netsh to remove the IP address and add it back in manually (on each host). Flag stays set as true on the 1st node but takes a second before it reverts back to true on the 2nd node.
Deleting each host from the cluster (one at a time), removing the registry keys CurrentControlSet\Services\WLBS and
Removing both hosts from the cluster
Restarting the hosts
Using processmon (sysinternals) to try and find a registry entry that might be set when SkipAsSource is set
Does anyone know:
How to resolve this issue? I'm guessing resetting the TCP/IP stack would work but that's a last resort as it requires an on sight visit to the datacentre.
Where the SkipAsSource flag it stored?
How to reset the master/global cluster config?
Thank in advance,
Antony

Hi Antony,

CSS11500 vs microsoft load balancing service

Greeting
I have some experience in CSS11500 but, I have no knowledge on microsoft load balancing service.
now I would like to understand what benefit on both technoledge? specially for a microsoft application, such as sharepoint.
Any comments will be appreciated
Thanks in advance

Hi Julie,
The only input I can provide is that I have a customer who used Microsoft NLB to laodbalance a lot of Windows Terminal Servers and often had problems and uneven load sharing.
He then used the ACE4710 for the NLB and one comment was: I have never seen such an even load sharing on my WTS.
Our only problem is to have a probe for the WTS which is good enough. Currently wer just check for port 3389 but sometimes it does not catch a faulty server, so we would like to have a TCL script to do the job but have not yet been able to come up with one, so if anybody out there has an idea to a TCL script for WTS then I'd be glad to hear about it.

Date Formats in Oracle Applications Forms and Oracle Self Service

Can someone tell me what determines the Date format that appears on Oracle Applications Forms and Oracle Self Service ?
*1.* In Oracle HRMS,all dates i see on the Forms are of the Format "MM/DD/YYYY" but my NLS Parameters are not in this format .I'm giving the results for the NLS parameters below.I thought the date formats are determined by the NLS format.Is there something else that determines the date format appearing on Oracle Applications Forms ?
NLS_DATABASE_PARAMETERS
NLS_DATE_FORMAT     :DD-MON-RR
NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE     :AMERICAN
NLS_LANGUAGE     :AMERICAN
NLS_TERRITORY     :AMERICA
NLS_INSTANCE_PARAMETERS
NLS_DATE_FORMAT     :DD-MON-RR
NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE     :
NLS_LANGUAGE     :american
NLS_TERRITORY     :america
NLS_SESSION_PARAMETERS
NLS_DATE_FORMAT     :DD-MON-RR
NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE     :
NLS_LANGUAGE     :american
NLS_TERRITORY     :america
*2* What about the profile option : ICX_DATE_FORMAT_MASK ? Does it determine the Date Format for Self Service alone or does it impact the date format appearing on Oracle Applications Forms and the actual database also ?
*3* If I use a to_date function in ,say, a pl/sql function that i code for some custom requirements,what will be the output of the date format ? Does it take the format given in NLS paramaters or is it determined by anything else?
Thanks in advance...

Hi,
Thanks for your reply ,but I'm still confused ..
Here are the profile options I'm seeing for one of my instance :
ICX: Date format mask - 12/31/1999
ICX: Date language - American English
ICX: Language - American English
ICX: NLS Sort - BINARY
ICX: Territory - United States
ICX: Numeric characters - NULL
NLS parameters are given in my original email.
In Self Service applications(OAF) ,the date format is appearing in "mm/dd/yyyy" format but when i login to Forms based applications ,I see the date format as "dd-mon-yyyy".What determines this date format ?
How can i make the date format to always return one format everywhere ,be it Self Service (OAF) or Oracle Forms ?
I'm getting date format related errors for my code because of default date formats changing intermittently when i log into Self Service.I want to know if there is anyway to prevent this from happening?
Thanks in advance.

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.

App Management and Subscription Settings service applications

Hi,
I am upgradind SharePoint 2010 services to SharePoint 2013. I have updated UPS, Metadata, Search, Secure Store and now I want to configure App Management and Subscription Settings service applications.
For all upgraded services I used default IIS pool: 'SharePoint Web Services default'. But now I see that for App Management and Subscription Settings service Mifrosoft uses new iis pools in the configuration guide:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/fp161236(v=office.15).aspx
Could you please advise if I can use defaulf pool 'SharePoint Web Services default' to configure App Management and Subscription Settings service applications?
If not can I use one pool for both services or should I use separate pool for each service?
Thanks

You cannot move the STS. Also, certain SAs right farm admin rights. If the farm will leverage those SAs, I'd encourage you to create a new App Pool for just those SAs, rather than re-use "SharePoint Web Services Default" (to prevent these SAs from
running under the Farm Admin).

Load balancing between application server and database

Hi,
is there any load balancing between the application server and the database? Consider we have a single instance of an application server that sends database queries from different clients to the database. Are the requests queued in some way at the application server, allowing to control the flow of the queries (e.g. queries from "more important" clients might be sent with a higher priority)?
Thanks for your help!

Hi Victor/Jim/Volker,
Thanks a lot for all the responses..
Just wanted to let you guys know that my installation finished successfully.
The thing which confused me was that my Qtime, Qdate and everything else was showing correct values..
Well, my problem I set the environmental variable PASE_TZ to the EST time zone on a SYS level using WRKENVVAR>F4>SYS and added the variable. I logged off and the sidofr logged off, but one user which should have logged off and didn't was the "SAPINST"(my installation user) which was logged in the subsystem TMKSVR00.
Even when I had closed the SAPINST installlation program, the user doesn't log off...it just sits there until and unless u shut him out of the system using the option 4 on wrkactjob for ending the JOB(SAPINST logged in the system below the TMKSVR00 subsystem)
So since the SAPISNT user never logged of, his environmental variables were not initilized properly, even after the changes...
This thought came to me almost after a 6 hours of wasting my time searching for notes here and there...
I think when u end/stop the install in SAPINST, the SAPINST user should log off the AS400 system, but I have noticed, it never does...although when u restart the installation, if u have noticed it shows you the log on for the SAPINST user in the TMKSVR screen...
Its kind of buggy, I would say...
I have noticed, that even when I log on to AS400 from home or from a remote PC using Emulator, it shows me logged in the subsystem and even after i have logged of, it still shows me there...
Anyway, thanks a lot guys...for all your responses..
Just wanted to let you know all.
Thanks

Server load balancing for application access using multiple servers

1.what are the methods supported by cisco switches for load balancing
2. I want to achive users to access 1 particular ip from different locations but phsically few servers which handle the application and data

well some servers allow you to install routing protocols on them. you could OSPF some links together.
or you could NLB if it is a microsoft server. this uses a heartbeat network, a virtual mac and an IP address bound to the vmac.
you could use NIC teaming. broadcom nics on dell servers allow you to configure them for loadbalancing, failover and a few other options.
or if the servers are mirrored using MSCS or something similar (i.e configured the same but independant) you could just load balance using DNS.
hope this helps. jsut some ideas quickly off the top of my head

Load balancing UDP application in ACE

Hi all,
What's the proper way to load balance a UDP application (NTP protocol) using ACE? We used to do it in our CSS using a content to load-balance and a source group to source-NAT the UDP replies from the servers to the VIP. I guess this should be implemented using NAT in the ACE, but I can't find any example.
According to the manual, src-natting to VIPs is supported only in A1(8) and it is supposed to be used "when there is a limited number of real-world IP addresses on the client-side network".
This is not our case, we just need to ensure that the client receives the UDP replies as coming from the VIP, not from real IP address of the server. This is not a problem in TCP-based applications, because the NAT from the rserver IP to the VIP is automatic. What is the proper way to obtain this behaviour for UDP applications? Thanks a lot!
Regards,
Pedro

Pedro,
reverse nating is not required in ACE world.
This is done automatically.
So, the server response will be automatically nated to the vip address when going back to the client.
If you have an appliance and are just deploying now, I would recommend version A3(2.1).
If you have a module go for A2(1.3).

Load-balancing by application version

Hi there. I have a pair of CSS-11501's that I'm using for load-balancing incoming connections for a specific software application. We have 2 versions of the software that connect to the same TCP port on the server side. Is there any way to have the CSS distinguish between the application versions so I can direct traffic to different clusters based on version, without the customer knowing?

no way with the CSS.
The CSS can understand http but not other applications.
The ACE module in its next software release will be able to catch data on any application and make an action like loadbalance with it.
Gilles.

Load Balancing - BSP Applications

Hi All,
Our current system has lot of custom BSP Applications. Recently the basis/network teams have taken up load balancing activities to better manage the workload.
We have observed after the load balancing activity came into play that our BSP calls have been failing(end in ST22 dumps) more frequently then they were happening before.
Failure rate : % of BSP calls ending in ST22 dumps.
Failure rate before load balancing : < 3%.
Failure rate after load balancing : > 25%.
There has been no code change recently.
Dump analysis points to a new line of code each time, also point to standard SAP code most of the times.
Does anyone know what are we doing wrong?
Let me know in case you have more questions.
Regards,
Karthik

Hi!
In order to really use Load Balancing for BSPs you can
1. install and use SAP Web Dispatcher (no Redirect) or
2. use the SAP Message Server (=Redirect)
In both cases you have to adjust your URLs to the server and port of Web Dispatcher resp. Message Server.
What kind/types of dumps do you get?
Regards,
Volker

CSS load balancing, service dependancy condition check

Hi,
I would like to seek some advice regarding the CSS's service configuration.
Is there a way to configure the CSS such that it check for the condition/status of a independant service (not involved in the load balancing algorithm) is alive/down (using service mode keepalive port/type), before deciding whether to/not to load balance to a group of services?
Senario is as follwows:
We process incoming HTTPS request and load balance to 2 HTTPS Servers (HTTPS service SSL1 and SSL2), on condition that a independent service (HTTPS service SSL3) is alive (using the keepalive type/port check in service mode).
If the independant service (HTTPS service SSL3) is not alive, remove the HTTPS Servers (HTTPS service SSL1 and SSL2) from the load balancing algorithm.
Thanks in advance for assistance

Does SLS support load balancing services?

Does SLS allow for load balancing of services? Such as iChat, Address Book, Calendar, Mail, Web, etc?
Right now I have four Mac Mini servers
Mac Mini 1 - Primary DNS, Open Directory Primary
Mac Mini 2 - Primary DNS, Open Directory Replicate
Mac Mini 3 - VPN, Mobile Access, File Sharing, Software Update Services, Address Book, iCal, and iChat.
Mac Mini 4 - Web / Mail
I want to get two more mac mini's to load balance #3 and #4. Meaning, if the server goes down or gets heavy load, it will start utilizing the other mac mini.
How can I set this up??

As for load balancing iAS has a component called Web-Cache which can be used for this.
For installation of iAS as per the OS you will find information at the folowing link:
