Best Practices for DB2/UDB in Containers/Zones

I see there is a best practices guide for Oracle in zones, does anyone have one similar guide for DB2?
Thanks

  • Best Practices for zVM/SLES10/zDB2 environment for dialog instances.

    Hi,  I am a zSeries system programmer who has just completed an IBM led Proof of Concept which demonstrated the viability of running SAP instances on SUSE SLES10 Linux booted in zVM guests and accessing zDB2 data via hipersockets. Before we build a Linux infrastructure using the 62 IFLs we just procured, we are wondering if any best practices for this environment have been developed as an OSS note or something else by SAP.    Below you will find an email which was sent and responded to by IBM and Novell on these topics...
    "As you may know, Home Depot has embarked on an IBM led proof of concept using SUSE SLES10 running in zVM guests on IBM zSeries hardware to host SAP server instances.  The Home Depot IT organization is currently in the midst of a large scale push to modernize our merchandising and people systems on SAP platforms.  The zVM/SUSE/SAP POC is part of that effort, as is a parallel POC of an Intel Blade/Red Hat/SAP platform.  For our production financial systems we now use a pSeries/AIX/SAP platform.
          So far in the zVM/SUSE/SAP POC, we have been able to create four zVM LPARS on IBM z9 hardware, create twelve zVM guests on those LPARS, boot SLES10 in those guests, install and run SAP instances in those guests using hipersockets for access to our DB2 SAP databases running on zOS, and direct user workloads to the SAP instances with good results.  We have also successfully developed cloning scripts that have made it possible to create new SLES10 instances, configured and ready for SAP installs, in about 10 seconds using FLASHCOPY and IBM DASD.
          I am writing in the hope that you can direct us to technical resources at IBM/Novell/SAP who may be able to field a few questions that have arisen.  In our discussions about optimization of the zVM/SUSE/SAP platform, we wondered if any wisdom about the appropriateness of and support for using zVM capabilities to virtualize SAP has ever been developed or any best practices drafted.  Attached you will find an IBM Redbook and a PowerPoint presentation which describes the use of the zVM discontiguous shared segments and the zVM named saved system features for the sharing of reentrant code and other  elements of Linux and its applications, thereby conserving storage and disk resources allocated to guest machines.   The specific question of the hour is, can any SAP code be handled similarly?  Have specific SAP elements eligible for this treatment been identified? 
          I've searched the SUSE Knowledgebase for articles on this topic to no avail.  Any similar techniques that might help us reduce the total cost of ownership of a zVM/SUSE/SAP platform as we compare it to Intel Blade/Red Hat/SAP and pSeries/AIX/SAP platforms are of great interest as we approach the end of our POC.  Can you help?
          Greg McKelvey is a Client I/T Architect at IBM.  He found the attached IBM documents and could give a fuller account of our POC.  Pat Downs, IBM zSeries IT Architect, has also worked to guide our POC. Akshay Rao, IBM Systems IT Specialist - Linux | Virtualization | SOA, is acting as project manager for the POC.  Jim Hawkins is the Home Depot Architect directing the POC.  I've CC:ed their email addresses.  I am sure they would be pleased to hear from you if there are the likely questions about what the heck I am asking about here.  And while writing, I thought of yet another question that I hoping somebody at SAP might weigh in on; are there any performance or operational benefits to using Linux LVM to apportion disk to filesystems vs. using zVM to create appropriately sized minidisks for filesystems without LVM getting involved?"
    As you can see, implementation questions need to be resolved.  We have heard from Novell that the SLES10 Kernel and other SUSE artifacts can reside in memory and be shared by multiple operating system images.  Does SAP support this configuration?  Also, has SAP identified SAP components which are eligible for similar treatment?  We would like to make sure that any decisions we make about the SAP platforms we are building will be supportable.  Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated.  I will supply the documents referenced above if they are not known to any answerer.  Thanks,  Al Brasher 770-433-8211 x11895 [email protected]

    Hello AL ,
    first, let me welcome you on board,  I am sure you won't be disapointed with your choice to run SAP on ZOS.
    as for your questions,
    it wan't easy to find them in this long post , so i suggest you take the time to write a short summary that contains a very short list of questions.
    as for answers.
    here are a few usefull sources of information :
    1. the sap on db2 for Z/os sdn page :
    SAP on DB2 for z/OS
    in it you can find 2 relevant docs :
    a. best practices for ...
    b. database administration for db2 udb for z/os .
    this second publication is excellent , apart from db2 specific info , it contains information on all the components of the sap on db2 for z/os like zlinux,z/vm and so on ...
    2. I can see that you are already familiar with the ibm redbooks , but it seems that you haven't taken the time to get the most out of that resource.
    from you post it is clear that you have found one usefull publication , but I know there are several.
    3. a few months ago I wrote a short post on a similar subject ,
    I'm sure its not exactly what you are looking for at this moment , but its a good start , and with some patience you may be able to get some answers.
    here's a link

  • Best practice for OSB to OSB communication

    Cross posting this message:
    I am currently in a project where we have two OSB that have to communicate. The OSBs are located in different security zones ("internal" and "secure"). All communication on a network level must be initiated from the secure zone to the internal zone. The message flow should be initated from the internal zone to the secure zone. Ideally we should establish a tcp connection from the secure zone to the internal zone, and then use SOAP over HTTP on this pre-established connection. Is this at all possible?
    Our best approach now, is to establish a jms-queue in the internal zone and let both OSBs connect to this. All communication between the zone is then done over JMS. This is an approach that would work, but is it the only solution?
    Can the t3/t3s protocol be used to achieve our goal? I.e. To have synchronous commincation over a pre-established connection (that is established the in opposite direction of the communication)?
    Is there any other approach that might work?
    What is considered best practice for sending messages from a OSB to another OSB in a more secure zone?
    Edited by: hilmersen on 11.jun.2009 00:59

    Hi,
    In my experience in a live project, we have used secured communication (https) between internal service bus and DMZ/external service bus.
    We also used two way SSL with customers.
    The ports were also secured by firewall in between them.

  • Best Practice for Updating children UIComponents in a Container?

    What is the best practice for updating children UIComponents in response to a Container being changed?  For instance, when a Canvas is resized, I would like to update all the children UIComponents height and width so the content scales properly.
    Right now I am trying to loop over the children calling InvalidateProperties, InvalidateSize, and InvalidateDisplayList on each.  I know some of the Containers such as VBox and HBox have layout managers, is there a way to leverage something like that?
    Thanks.

    you would only do that if it makes your job easier.  generally speaking, it would not.
    when trying to sync sound and animation i think most authors find it easiest to use graphic symbols because you can see their animation when scrubbing the main timeline.  with movieclips you only see their animation when testing.
    however, if you're going to use actionscript to control some of your symbols, those symbols should be movieclips.

  • Best practice RAC installation in two datacenter zones?

    Datacenter has two separate zones.
    In each zone we have one storage system and one rac node.
    We will install RAC 11gR2 with ASM.
    For data we want to use diskgroup +DATA, normal redundancy mirrored to both storage systems.
    For CRS+Voting we want to use diskgroup +CRS, normal redundancy.
    But for CRS+Voting diskgroup with normal redundancy we need 3 luns and we have only 2 storage systems.
    I believe the third lun is needed to avoid split brain situations.
    If we put two luns to storage #1 and one lun to storage #2, what will happen when storage #1 faills - this means that two of three disks for diskgroup +CRS are unaccessible?
    What will happen, when all equipment in zone #1 fails?
    Is human intervention required: at failure time, when zone#1 is coming up again?
    Is there a best practice for a 2-zone 2-storage rac configuration?
    Joachim

    Hi,
    As far as voting files are concerned, a node must be able to access more than the half of the voting files at any time (simple majority). In order to be able to tolerate a failure of n voting files, one must have at least 2n+1 configured. (n= number of voting files) for the cluster.
    The problem in a stretched cluster configuration is that most installations only use two storage systems (one at each site), which means that the site that hosts the majority of the voting files is a potential single point of failure for the entire cluster. If the storage or the site where n+1 voting files are configured fails, the whole cluster will go down, because Oracle Clusterware will loose the majority of voting files.
    To prevent a full cluster outage, Oracle will support a third voting file on an inexpensive, lowend standard NFS mounted device somewhere in the network. Oracle recommends putting the NFS voting file on a dedicated server, which belongs to a production environment.
    Use the White Paper below to accomplish it:
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/clusterware/overview/grid-infra-thirdvoteonnfs-131158.pdf

    Hi,
    I suggest you read this paper : Oracle XML DB : Choosing the Best XMLType Storage Option for Your Use Case
    It is available on the XML DB home page along with other documents you may be interested in.
    To sum up, the storage method you need depends on the requirement, i.e. how XML data is accessed.
    There was one where a Mr. Drake was explaining something about not using clob as an attribute to storing the xml and that "it will break your application."I think the message Mark Drake wanted to convey is that CLOB storage is now deprecated and shouldn't be used anymore (though still supported for backward compatibility).
    The default XMLType storage starting with version 11.2.0.2 is now Binary XML, a posted-parsed binary format that optimizes both storage size and data access (via XQuery), so you should at least use it instead of the BASICFILE CLOB.
    Schema-based Binary XML is also available, it adds another layer of "awareness" for Oracle to manage instance documents.
    To use this feature, the XML schema must be registered with "options => dbms_xmlschema.REGISTER_BINARYXML".
    The other common approach for schema-based XML is Object-Relational storage.
    BTW... you may want to post here next time, in the dedicated forum : {forum:id=34}
    Mark Drake is one of the regular user, along with Marco Gralike you've probably seen too at OOW.

  • Best practices for updating agents

    We're getting ready to do our first system-wide update of agents to fix a critical bug. Our summer vacation is just ending, and teachers and students will be coming back very soon and turning on our Windows 7 computers for the first time in many weeks, although they won't all be turned on the same day. When they are turned on they will be attempting to get various updates, in particular Windows updates, but also Flash Player and Adobe Reader. I need to update the agents as quickly as possible, but I'm concerned about the possibility of the agent update conflicting with another update, especially Windows updates. Isn't it possible that Windows Update could restart a computer while the agent update is happening (or the other way around), leaving the machine in an unstable or unusable state? What are the best practices for dealing with this? I considered the possibility of deploying the agent to a dynamic workstation group whose members all have a certain file or files that indicate that they have already received the latest Windows updates. However, I can't see how to create a dynamic group based on such criteria.
    So far I have only updated a few devices at a time using "Deploy System Updates to Selected Devices in the Management Zone". When those updates are done I cancel that deployment because that's the only option I can find that does anything. If you can offer general advice for a better strategy of updating agents I'd appreciate that. Specifically, how would you push an agent update to several hundred computers that will be turned on sometime over the next two weeks?
    Thanks very much.

    To be honest, you have to work around your other deploys, etc. The ZCM agent isn't "aware" of other deploys going on. For example, ZPM doesn't care that you're doing Bundles at the same time (you'll get errors in the logs about the fact that only one MSI can run at a time, for example). ZPM usually recovers and picks up where it left off.
    Bundles on the other hand, with System Update, are not so forgiving. Especially if you have the agents prior to 11.2.4 MU1 (cache corruption errors).
    We usually:
    a) Halt all software rollouts/patching as best we can
    b) Our software deploys (bundles) are on event: user login Typically the system update is on Device Refresh, OR scheduled time, and are device associated.
    IF possible, I'd suggest that you use WOL, system update and voila.
    Or, if no WOL available, then tell your users to leave their pc turned on (doesn't have to be logged in), on X night, and setup your system updates for that night, with the auto-reboot enabled. That worked well
    But otherwise the 3 components of ZCM (Bundles, ZPM, System Update) don't know/care about each other, AFAIK.

  • SAP Best Practices for Data Migration :repositories only on MS SQL Server ?

    Hi,
    I'm implementing the "SAP Best Practices for Data Migration" (see https://websmp109.sap-ag.de/bp-datamigration).
    As part of the installation you have to install MS SQL Server Express Edition. The installation guide contains detailed steps to do this. All repositories for Data Services should be running on SQL Server, according to the installation guide.
    The customer I'm working for now does not want to use SQL Server, but DB2, as company standard.
    So I use DB2 for the local and profiler repositories.
    I notice however that the web application http://localhost:8080/MigrationServices does not support DB2.The only database type you can select in the configuration area is MS SQL Server.
    Is this a limitation, a by design ?

    Hans,
    The current release of SAP Best Practices for Data Migration, v1.32, supports only MS SQL Server.  The intent when developing the DM content was to quickly set up a temporary, standardized data migration environment, using tools that are available to everyone.  SQL Server Express was chosen to host the repositories, because it is easy to set up and can be downloaded for free.  Sone users have successfully deployed the content on Oracle XE, but as you have found, the MigrationServices web application works only with SQL Server.
    The next release, including the web app, will support SQL Server and Oracle, but not DB2.

  • DNS best practices for hub and spoke AD Architecture?

    I have an Active Directory Forest with a forest root such as joe.co and the root domain of the same name, and root DNS servers (Domain Controllers) dns1.joe.co and dns2.joe.co
    I have child domains with names in the form region1.joe.com, region2.joe.co and so on, with dns servers dns1.region1.joe.co and so on.
    Each region has distribute offices that may have a DC in them, servers named in the form dns1branch1.region1.joe.co
    Over all my DNS tests out okay, but I want to get the general guidelines for setting up new DCs correct.
    Configuration:
    Root DC/DNS server dns1.joe.co adapter settings points DNS to itself, then two other root domain DNS/DCs dns2.joe.co and dns3.joe.co.
    The other root domain DNS/DCs adapter settings point to root server dns1.joe.co and then to itself dns2.joe.co, and then 127.0.0.1
    The regional domains have a root dns server dns1.region1.joe.co with adapter that that points to root server dns1.joe.co then to itself.
    The additional region domain DNS/DCs adapter settings point to dns1.region1.joe.co then to itself then to dn1.joe.co
    What would you do to correct this topology (and settings) or improve it?
    Thanks in advance
    just david

    Hi,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you need suggestion about your DNS topology.
    In theory, there is no obvious problem. Except for the namespace and server plaining for DNS, zone is also needed to consideration. If you place DNS server on each domain and subdomain, confirm that if the traffic browsed by DNS will affect the network performance.
    Besides, fault tolerance and security are also necessary.
    We usually recommend that:
    DC with DNS should point to another DNS server as primary and itself as secondary or tertiary. It should not point to self as primary due to various DNS islanding and performance issues that can occur. And when referencing a DNS server on itself, a DNS client
    should always use a loopback address and not a real IP address. detailed information you may reference:
    What is Microsoft's best practice for where and how many DNS servers exist? What about for configuring DNS client settings on DC’s and members?

  • Best practices for 2 x DNS servers with 2 x sites

    I am curious if someone can help me with best practices for my DNS servers.  Let me give my network layout first.
    I have 1 site with 2 x Windows 2012 Servers (1 GUI - 10.0.0.7, the other CORE - 10.0.0.8) the 2nd site connected via VPN has 2 x Windows 2012R2 Servers (1 GUI - 10.2.0.7, the other CORE - 10.2.0.8)  All 4 servers are promoted to DC's and have DNS services
    running.
    Here goes my questions:
    Site #1
    DC-01 - NIC IP address for DNS server #1 set to 10.0.0.8, DNS server #2 set to 127.0.0.1 (should I add my 2nd sites DNS servers under Advanced as well? 10.2.0.7 & 10.2.0.8)
    DC-02 - NIC IP address for DNS server #1 set to 10.0.0.7, DNS server #2 set to 127.0.0.1 (should I add my 2nd sites DNS servers under Advanced as well? 10.2.0.7 & 10.2.0.8)
    Site #2

    Would the following questions be identical to the Forward Lookup Zone mydomain.local as well?

    I am curious if someone can help me with best practices for my DNS servers.  Let me give my network layout first.
    I have 1 site with 2 x Windows 2012 Servers (1 GUI - 10.0.0.7, the other CORE - 10.0.0.8) the 2nd site connected via VPN has 2 x Windows 2012R2 Servers (1 GUI - 10.2.0.7, the other CORE - 10.2.0.8)  All 4 servers are promoted to DC's and have DNS services
    running.
    Here goes my questions:
    Site #1
    DC-01 - NIC IP address for DNS server #1 set to 10.0.0.8, DNS server #2 set to 127.0.0.1 (should I add my 2nd sites DNS servers under Advanced as well? 10.2.0.7 & 10.2.0.8)
    DC-02 - NIC IP address for DNS server #1 set to 10.0.0.7, DNS server #2 set to 127.0.0.1 (should I add my 2nd sites DNS servers under Advanced as well? 10.2.0.7 & 10.2.0.8)
    Site #2
    DC-01 - NIC IP address for DNS server #1 set to 10.2.0.8, DNS server #2 set to 127.0.0.1 (should I add my 2nd sites DNS servers under Advanced as well? 10.0.0.7 & 10.0.0.8)
    DC-02 - NIC IP address for DNS server #1 set to 10.2.0.7, DNS server #2 set to 127.0.0.1 (should I add my 2nd sites DNS servers under Advanced as well? 10.0.0.7 & 10.0.0.8)
    Under the DNS management > Forward Lookup Zones > _msdcs.mydomain.local
    > properties > Name Servers should I have all of my other DNS servers, or should I have my WAN DNS servers? In a single server scenario I always put my WAN DNS server but a bit unsure in this scenario. 
    Under the DNS management > Forward Lookup Zones > _msdcs.mydomain.local > properties > General > Type should all servers be set to
    Active Directory - Integrated > Primary Zone? Should any of these be set to
    Secondary Zone?
    Under the DNS management > Forward Lookup Zones > _msdcs.mydomain.local > properties > Zone Transfers should I allow zone transfers?
    Would the following questions be identical to the Forward Lookup Zone mydomain.local as well?
    Site1
    DC1: Primary 10.0.0.7. Secondary 10.0.0.8. Tertiary 127.0.0.1
    DC2: Primary 10.0.0.8.  Secondary 10.0.0.7. Tertiary 127.0.0.1
    Site2
    DC1: Primary 10.2.0.7.  Secondary 10.2.0.8. Tertiary 127.0.0.1
    DC2: Primary 10.2.0.8.  Secondary 10.2.0.7. Tertiary 127.0.0.1
    The DC's should automatically register in msdcs.  Do not register external DNS servers in msdcs or it will lead to issues. Yes, I recommend all zones to be set to AD-integrated. No need to allow zone transfers as AD replication will take care
    of this for you.  Same for mydomain.local.
    Hope this helps.  

  • JSR 168 best practice for saving inter-portlet state

    The portlet specification doesn't yet cover inter-portlet communication. Until
    it does, what is the best practice for saveing state so that multiple portlets
    can use the same data?

    The portlet session is layered on top of the HTTP session except for
    attribute scoping. So, all portlets in a webapp share the same
    HTTP/portlet session for a given client.
    All APPLICATION_SCOPEd portlet session attributes are automatically
    available to other portlets. With PORTLET_SCOPEd attributes, portlet
    containers namespace attribute names, so it would be hard to get
    attributes by name (but still possible).

    Chris Jennings said the following on 10/14/2003 09:17 AM:
    If I set an attribute in a PortletSession, though, it isn't visible form another
    PortletSession... right? Please tell me that's wrong ;-) If that's right, how
    can I have portlet B get to something set by portlet A?

    For sharing transient state, the only possible mechanism in V1.0 is to

  • Best practices for data migration

    Hi All,
    This thread is useful for those who can use their opportunity to share the ideas and knowledge for making better and best use of data migration using Business Objects Data Services.

    Hans,
    The current release of SAP Best Practices for Data Migration, v1.32, supports only MS SQL Server.  The intent when developing the DM content was to quickly set up a temporary, standardized data migration environment, using tools that are available to everyone.  SQL Server Express was chosen to host the repositories, because it is easy to set up and can be downloaded for free.  Sone users have successfully deployed the content on Oracle XE, but as you have found, the MigrationServices web application works only with SQL Server.
    The next release, including the web app, will support SQL Server and Oracle, but not DB2.

  • Best practices for setting up users on a small office network?

    Hello,
    I am setting up a small office and am wondering what the best practices/steps are to setup/manage the admin, user logins and sharing privileges for the below setup:
    Users: 5 users on new iMacs (x3) and upgraded G4s (x2)
    Video Editing Suite: Want to connect a new iMac and a Mac Pro, on an open login (multiple users)
    All machines are to be able to connect to the network, peripherals and external hard drive. Also, I would like to setup drop boxes as well to easily share files between the computers (I was thinking of using the external harddrive for this).
    Thank you,

    Hi,
    Thanks for your posting.
    When you install AD DS in the hub or staging site, disconnect the installed domain controller, and then ship the computer to the remote site, you are disconnecting a viable domain controller from the replication topology.
    For more and detail information, please refer to:

  • Best-practice for Catalog Views ? :|

    Hello community,
    A best practice question:
    The situtation: I have several product categories (110), several items in those categories (4000) and 300 end-users.    I would like to know which is the best practice for segment the catalog.   I mean, some users should only see categories 10,20 & 30.  Other users only category 80, etc.    The problem is how can I implement this ?
    My first idea is:
    1. Create 110 Procurement Catalogs (1 for every prod.category).   Each catalog should contain only its product category.
    2. Assign in my Org Model, in a user-level all the "catalogs" that the user should access.
    Do you have any idea in order to improve this ?
    Saludos desde Mexico,
    Diego

    Hi,
    Your way of doing will work, but you'll get maintenance issues (to many catalogs, and catalog link to maintain for each user).
    The other way is to built your views in CCM, and assign these views to the users, either on the roles (PFCG) or on the user (SU01). The problem is that with CCM 1.0 this is limitated, cause you'll have to assign one by one the items to each view (no dynamic or mass processes), it has been enhanced in CCM 2.0.
    My advice:
    -Challenge your customer about views, and try to limit the number of views, with for example strategic and non strategic
    -With CCM 1.0 stick to the procurement catalogs, or implement BADIs to assign items to the views (I experienced it, it works, but is quite difficult), but with a limitated number of views
    Good luck.

  • Best Practice for Securing Web Services in the BPEL Workflow

    What is the best practice for securing web services which are part of a larger service (a business process) and are defined through BPEL?
    They are all deployed on the same oracle application server.
    Defining agent for each?
    Gateway for all?
    BPEL security extension?
    The top level service that is defined as business process is secure itself through OWSM and username and passwords, but what is the best practice for security establishment for each low level services?
    Regards
    Farbod

    It doesnt matter whether the service is invoked as part of your larger process or not, if it is performing any business critical operation then it should be secured.
    The idea of SOA / designing services is to have the services available so that it can be orchestrated as part of any other business process.
    Today you may have secured your parent services and tomorrow you could come up with a new service which may use one of the existing lower level services.
    If all the services are in one Application server you can make the configuration/development environment lot easier by securing them using the Gateway.
    Typical probelm with any gateway architecture is that the service is available without any security enforcement when accessed directly.
    You can enforce rules at your network layer to allow access to the App server only from Gateway.
    When you have the liberty to use OWSM or any other WS-Security products, i would stay away from any extensions. Two things to consider
    The next BPEL developer in your project may not be aware of Security extensions
    Centralizing Security enforcement will make your development and security operations as loosely coupled and addresses scalability.
    Thanks
