Apps 11i Load Balancing

Hi,
I have load balancing between 2 Apps Tier, and all the Users are connected to Node2 only, none of the users are on Node1.
Apps 11i and DB 10.2
Any suggestion please....
Thanks,

I have load balancing between 2 Apps Tier, and all the Users are connected to Node2 only, none of the users are on Node1.
Apps 11i and DB 10.2
Any suggestion please....Was this working before? If yes, any changes been done recently?
Please run AutoConfig and bounce the services and see if you can reproduce the issue.
Also, please review (Advanced Configurations and Topologies for Enterprise Deployments of E-Business Suite 11i [ID 217368.1]) and make sure your setup is correct.
If you can access each of the nodes directly (not through the load balancer), then you need to check the configuration of your load balancer -- Implementing Load Balancing On Oracle E-Business Suite - Documentation For Specific Load Balancer Hardware [ID 727171.1]
Thanks,

  • Oracle Applications 11i Load Balancing does not work with RAC one Node

    Hi all,
    Could you help me to resolve this issue.
    Architecture environment is :
    - One APPS tier node
    - Two nodes Oracle Database Appliance (Primary node 1 holds INSTANCE_1 et Secondary node is configurured to holds INSTANCE_2), i.e RAC one Node.
    - The primary node have instance_name SIGM_1 and the secondary node have instance_name SIGM_2, but in RAC one node, the secondary instance is not alive.
    We convert our EBS 11i environment to RAC following note ID Using Oracle 11g Release 2 Real Application Clusters with Oracle E-Business Suite Release 11i [ID 823586.1].
    When testing Database failover, Oracle Applications 11i load balancing does not work anymore.
    The root cause is that, when the primary node of the Rac one node is down, the INSTANCE_NAME_1 is automaically relocating to the surviving node,.
    During test failover, we imagine that when the primary node goes down, the secondary node start or relocate database with instance_name SIGM_2, and in that case the Oracle Applications load balancing works.
    Currently, when the primary node goes down, the instance_name SIGM_1 is relocated on the secondary node, which cause failure of Oracle Applications Load Balancing.
    Thank you for your advice.

    This is something I observed a long time ago for Safari (ie: around version 1). I'm not sure this is Safari, per se, but OpenSSL that is responsible for the behavior. I'm pretty sure Chrome does this and I've seen some Linux browsers do it.
    What I have done at the last two companies I've worked for is recommend that our clients do not use SSL SessionID as the way of tracking sticky sessions on web servers, but instead using IP address. This works in nearly all cases and has few downsides. The other solution is to use some sort of session sharing on your web servers to mitigate the issue (which also means that your web servers aren't a point of failure for your users' sessions). (One of the products I supported had no session information stored on the web servers, so we could safely round-robin requests, the other product could be implemented with a Session State Server... but in most cases we just used IP address to load balance with). The other solution is to configure your load balancer to terminate the SSL tunnel. You get some other benefits from this, such as allowing your load balancer to reduce the number of actual connections to the web servers. I've seen many devices setup this way.
    One thing to consider through this is that - due to the way internet standards work - this really can't be termed a bug on anyone's part. There is no guarantee in the SSL/TLS standards that a client will return the same SSL Session ID for each request and there is not requirement that subsequent requests will even use the same tunnel. Remember, HTTP is a stateless protocol. Each request is considered a new request by the web server and everything else is just trickery to try and get it to work the way you want. You can be annoyed at Safari's behavior, but it's been this way for over 5 years by my count, so I don't expect it to change.

  • 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.

  • 11i load balancing web nodes without use of Hardware http load balancer

    I am looking at note 217368.1 (Advanced Configurations and Topologies for Enterprise Deployments of E-Business Suite 11i) and some other notes on load balancing but some aspects are not clear.
    Aim is to implement load balancing traffic to web nodes without using Hardware ( BigIP, cisco etc) for HTTP layer load balancing.
    Which is more preferable between dns or Apache Jserv load balancer ?
    Need details like failover capabilities, death detection of node, functionality testing and ways to monitor Apache Jserv load balancer.
    Any help in this regard is welcome .
    thx
    arun

    Oracle recommends using loadbalancing hardware rather than using DNS. If you want the features you mention above, you will need a hardware loadbalancer.

  • Issue in setting flex app in load balanced environment using SSL

    I have developed the dashboard in my application using flex 3.0. For this I have used JSP wrapper around the flex application. My application runs on JBoss application server. for communication between flex app and my application i am using LCDS. HTTPService component is being used to receive data from the server. Channel definitions are given in service-config.xml for amf and http channels and for both secure secure and not secure mode. In my proxy-config.xml i have defined Channels and destinations.

    In my development environment both secure and non secure mode were working fine. Now when I have deployed it behind the load balancer(which accepts secure requests only and if the request is not secure it redirects it to secure url) there is no response from the message broker servlet. One thing more I have observed is when the environment is non load balanced there are request like 'http://{server.name}:{server.port}/{context.root}/messagebroker/http'. and these requests are post request. But in load balanced environment with ssl the request is again like 'http://{server.name}:{server.port}/{context.root}/messagebroker/http' which is a post request and it is redirected to 'https://{server.name}:{server.port}/{context.root}/messagebroker/http' which is a get request. The content returned by this get request is null.
    Looking for some comments
    Thanks

    if the load balancing environment is already well configured, thes rest is very easy, there is no difference between a configuration of load balancing environment and a simple one, for you that is transparent, except the manual deployment and manual copying

  • Office Web App Load balancing Question

    I am going to install office web app in load balanced farm behing f5. There are few questions i want to ask:
    Do i first put servers in load balancer and start installing office web app or after installation of office web app in one server put that in load balancer and add another one or put both in load balancer and start installing.
    While i tried without putting servers in load balancer with offload ssl parameter , when i tried to join second server in the farm it gave me error destination unreachable. Is it because with offload ssl parameter it is looking for load balancer or something
    else? I checked port 809 from the servers and also verified the user was local admin in both machines.
    Any insight will be helpful.

    Setting up 11i E-Business suite using a hardware load balancer
    Sharing an APPL_TOP in Oracle Applications 11i
    In Oracle Apps Concepts pdf, found that
    Load balancing occurs when there are multiple installations of web server, forms server, reports server, concurrent manager server etc
    Lets consider forms server component of middle tier
    Can there be multiple INSTANCES of forms server within SINGLE INSTALLATION ???
    If it has to be MULTIPLE INSTALLATIONS, then it will require multiple physical machines
    What is software load balancing then ???
    Also read that
    Oracle 9i AS instance is combition of Oracle HTTP Server (OHS) and one or more instances of Oracle9iAS Container for J2EE (OC4J)
    Thus software load balancing can be implemented for Web server component of middle tier using multiple instances of OC4J ???
    Forms metrix server configuration is hardware load balancing ??
    What about Oracle9iAS Web Cache clustering ??
    Please clarify the doubts and suggest me the way
    Thanks a lot

  • Setting up Load Balancing for 11i for Intranet & Internet Access

    Our current environment for 11i (11.5.5) is accessed only internally (via Intranet). We need to allow outside access (via Internet) also for self-service apps (ie. HR). Oracle Support/Metalink has stated that Load Balancing (note 148155.1) is the only supported method to have multiple (Apps Servers) systems access a single database. Could I get feedback from anyone who has implemented Load Balancing for 11i? Additionally if someone has implemented this for both intranet and internet access how has your company setup? Do the secondary server(s) from the Load Balancing note reside in the DMZ? And thus the primary app server and database reside inside the firewall? Thanks....

  • 2 App servers in farm will be auto failover and load balanced?

    Dear all,
    We are going to setup following SharePoint farm:
    2 WFE
    2 APP
    2 OWA
    2 SQL with shared NAS
    We will have hardware load balance in front of 2 WFE. From my understanding, the 2 WFE will detect which APP server is available and send the request there.
    Hence, if APP1 is down, all traffic come from both WFE will be directed to APP2.
    But I am not so sure about the part about load balance. If all the 8 server instance are working properly, the new request come from WFE2 will be sent to APP1 or APP2? Or it depends on which service application is asking?
    In addition, we planned to run all search components on APP servers. But the 2 APP servers are both 16GB memory which is lower than suggested specification.  I am considering whether I can assign all the search workload on APP2 while all the other on
    APP1.
    Thanks.
    Mark

    Here is a good artcicle on how SharePoint load balances service applications:
    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/dtaylor/archive/2011/02/23/sharepoint-2010-service-application-load-balancer.aspx 
    Yes you can create APP02 as search server but then service apps will not be redundant , so it would be better to run all the service apps on both the servers and if you see any memory issues, then scale it later.
    As per
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/651dba4d-8751-4bd8-9492-f2842b2e1177(v=office.15)#HW_Enterprise , 16 GB is recommended for application server  so i think you should be okay unless there is very high load .

    For  troubleshooting your issue, please take steps as below:
    Just about any load balancing solution will work, including a server that runs the Web Server (IIS) role running Application Request Routing (ARR):Install
    Application Request Routing
    Install the certificate on the load balancer as described under Securing Office Web Apps Server communications by using
    HTTPS.
    Make sure you have configured the cluster correctly for full internet name:

  • Load balancing and HA for office web apps server Lync 2013

    Hi,
        I have 12000 users, 3 FE servers in a pool, 2 edge server in a pool, HA required, IM/presence, A/V, WEb conferencing required. plan to have 2 office web apps server a farm with HA, below are my queries
    1.  which type of load balancing i need....DNS or HLB for office web app servers? if its HLB then is it mandatory?
    2. i have already 2 HLB for FE pool .. one for externa url , one for internal URL...can i use the same HLB for office web app servers ?
    3. one more question regarding EDGE pool load balancing, can i use the same HLB  in EDge pool also that i am using for FE pool?

    Hi,
    1.  which type of load balancing i need....DNS or HLB for office web app servers? if its HLB then is it mandatory?
    WebApps runs on https and you cannot load balance http traffic using DNS load balancing. you need to have a HLB.
    2. i have already 2 HLB for FE pool .. one for externa url , one for internal URL...can i use the same HLB for office web app servers ?
    you can use the same HLB for that
    3. one more question regarding EDGE pool load balancing, can i use the same HLB  in EDge pool also that i am using for FE pool?
    for that one, you probably need a separate HLB.

  • Load Balancing for Oracle Release 11i

    Hi there,
    I am trying to find some recommendations on the need for load balancing in the middle tier for a 3 tier Oracle Release 11i implementation. Here are the questions that I have.
    1. Is load balancing very common for a 11i implementation ?
    2. What are the probable issues that one might encounter if there is no load balancing ?
    3. If there is load balancing how many servers are generally used for the same ?
    4. Do we only install Forms server on multiple servers or we install WebDB and Apache on all the servers ?
    5. Is it true that Web servers are the most likely to be down and thus mandating the use of load balancing ? If that is true, would it be prudent to install Web Server and Form Server on each server m/c and in the process having redundant servers ?
    Let me know your thoughts.
    Thanks,
    - Raj

    I'm in the middle of doing this right now. There is a doc on metalink (233428.1) that details the process. I would highly recommend trying this in dev/test env first. Even though the instructions are very straight forward and not very complicated, I'm still having configuration issues.

    Hi Harvey Flaisher,
    Based on the error message, this seems to be a service application not working issue.
    Please check the ULS log or Event log to check in which service application the error occurs, like BCS, secure store service, app management service, then re-provision the service application using PowerShell command, or re-create the service application
    from UI to check the result.
