BPC 7.5 NW - Installation of Application Servers: in domain vs. standalone

Hi,
we are currently starting with the installation of BPC 7.5 NetWeaver.
The BW system is running on AIX servers, the .net servers for the BPC application are available. Next step is the installation of the BPC software and service activation on the .net servers.
Now we are facing the question whether to set up this in the existing domain or as standalone servers. Finally we want to use single sign on with the existing SAP (BW) users.
Has anyone an idea, which impact it would create to setup either in domain or as standalone? From the installation guide it seems as if the installation in the domain is recommended, but there is no info about the impacts related.
Any suggestions are highly appreciated!
Thank you
Christian

Hi Cristian,
I 've faced with same problem, but I've followed the Install Guide.
I've worked with domain user.
I understand is possible work with local user, when you need to refer a user you can use localmachine\user, but like i said you i prefer follow the installaton guide.
Thanks and Regards,

Configure CRS2008 to using AD and Kerberos with Java application servers.

Hi All,
I have configure CRS2008 to using AD and Kerberos with Java application servers. Domain Controller is installed on W2K3 Server. In addition, CRS2008 is installed on another W2k3 Server.
I have create service account in domain controller: CMSACC
I have create two user account: CRuser1 and CRuser2
I have create domain group: CRSGroup
After I had run the setspn in domain controller,I got the message at below:

Default AD Domain: BD.com
Add AD Group(Domain\Group): secWinAD:CN=CRSGroup,OU=TEST,D=BD,DC=com
Service principal name:BOBJCentralMS/CMSACCatBD.com
I have create a WINNT folder in root directory.Moreover and save bcsLognin.conf and Krb5.ini at here.
bscLogin.conf:

kdc = BDMGTSRV.BD.com
I have tested the Kerberos,using kinit CMSACCatBD.com password, and got error message at below:

My problem is failed to logon CMC and infoview and got error message at below:
Account Information Not Recognized: Active Directory Authentication failed to log you on. Please contact your system administrator to make sure you are a member of a valid mapped group and try again. If you are not a member of the default domain, enter your user name as UserNameatDNS_DomainName, and then try again.
Actually, I am sucessful to logon Business View manager with CRuser1. However, I fail to logon CMC and infoview and got the above error. Have you any suggestion to solve this problem?
Ken.

if you can logon with client tools then that should be an indication that the service account running the CMS IS working! Good news.
So the problem is likely with the java portion (krb5/bsclogin or java options)
If the files are in c:\winnt\ (if not copy them there) and perform c:\program files\business objects\javasdk\bin\kinit username
then enter and password/enter again
Probably get the same message. To note in your krb5.ini all domain info must be in CAPS (the .com appears to be in lower case)
kinit works with just the krb5.ini, java SDK and AD (removing BO config and the service account from the picture). Once that works if your java options are specified properly you should be able to login to CMC/infoview.
also 1 last point. Add udp_preference_limit = 1 to the krb5 lib defaults section
libdefaults
default_realm = BD.com
dns_lookup_kdc = true
dns_lookup_realm = true
udp_preference_limit = 1

BO XI 3.1 Cluster Installation - 1 Web Tier + 2 Application Servers + 1 DB

Hi Guys,
This is the first time I am doing a Cluster installation of BO XI 3.1.
Here's the scenario :
1. We have Server-1 as - Web-Tier
2. Server 2 + Server 3 - Cluster Installation.
3. SQL DB Server.
The step 3 above is done.
Now my confusion is what options should I select when doing the Server 2 + 3 installation. Do I select the Web Application Servers when it asks me to install TomCat5.5 or should I say deploy on existing. If I say deploy then it asks me for the server directory which is obviously not on the current server. Or should I skip that as my belief is that web-tier is installed on Server1.
How does the whole thing work ? Is it that the web part goes to Server1 and the rest is shared between server2+3.
Can someone plz. throw some light on the above installations ?
Thanks to all,

You can simple do two full installations and then configure App Server and DB.
1. Full install BO services on server 1 including MySQL and Tomcat
2. Full install BO services on server 2 including MySQL and Tomcat
3. Stop SIA on server 1 and specify CMS datasource to your DB
4. Stop SIA on server 2 and specify CMS datasource to the same DB (specifying multiple CMS to the same datasource essentially make them in the same cluster)
5. Install Web Tier on Server 3
In the end, you can disable MySQL and Tomcat services on both server 1 and server 2
Hope this helps.

Agents for database and application servers

hi all,
I have to go to a client site this week to install Gagents onto some database servers, some will be RAC and some application servers. it is on AIX. are there different agents for database and applications? In a RAC cluster do I need an agent per node?
rgds
alan

When installing agents in a cluster (read - RAC), during the installation, on one of the screens, you will have the option of picking up all the nodes in the cluster. Else, if you are using a push or agent deploy method, you just have to pass the correct flag (can't remember) and then list all the nodes in the cluster.
To your other questions, you do not need different agents for database, and app servers etc. The only time you would need different agents is when you are installing on different platforms.

Mixed SAP kernel versions on application servers

Hello.
I'm looking for a Note asserting that mixed versions of the sap kernel on application servers of a single installation are not supported.
E.g. the Central Instance has kernel Version 185 and application server 221 ....
Can anybody help me finding an official source?
Thanks a lot.
Dino

Hi,
What is the purpose of a confirmation for such an obvious fact ?
Do you want an official confirmation that you can't run unix executables on a windows server ?
PS : Don't try to dry your cat in the microwave oven ! There is no official OSS note about it !

EP7 Sizing :db Instance and application servers SAPS splitting

Hello,
We are about to install a SAP EP7 EHPA in High Availability Mode.
Database : Oracle 10.2 on HP-UX.
The sizing has been performed, we require 10000 SAPS.
We will perform a distributed installation on several servers :
DBInstance on a dedicated physical host, and Applications servers on other machines.
Therefore we still have to decide how the required 10000 SAPS should be splitted between DB host
and the others hosts. For example : 30 % DB and 70 % Others
I'm aware that it is specific to the EP usage but I just want to have an overall idea
I tried to find that kind of information on SAP benchmark, or HP websites but didn't find anything.
Any help on this question will be apreciated.
Regards.
Raoul

Hi Raoul,
you are absolutely right - it depends on how you use EP. If you expect a lot of data in your database you will need to use a higher percentage. Maybe you should also think about the data source configuration for user management you'd like to use. This can contain a lot of data if you use database only with a lot of roles, groups and users. Another point would be how you like to archive log files. The portal may produce a lot of log files - depending on your settings and on the activity at the portal. If you like to archive them for a very long time you will need a lot of space. Another thing is portal activity report for example. It generates a lot of data in the database for weekly, monthly and daily aggregation when there is a lot of activity in the portal. Maybe this helps you to decide...
Cheers,
Anja

Issues with sharing a single OID with two Application servers (9.0.4)

We have two installations of 9.0.4 Application Servers and both share the same OID. We use Oracle Portal for deploying our jsp applications.
All users in the OID are sync'ed from Microsoft Active Directory.
Application Server 1 is for an application X
Application Server 2 is for an application Y
We create groups in the portal of Application Server 1 specifically for Application X. DEF_GROUP1 is default group for all applications in application X
DEF_GROUP1 has a default page - Page 1. DEF_GROUP 1 does not exist in Application server 2
We create groups in the portal of Application Server 2 specifically for Application Y. DEF_GROUP2 is default group for all applications in application Y
DEF_GROUP2 has a default page - Page 2
DEF_GROUP2 does not exist in application server 1
We have users who access both application X and applicaiton Y
For a user "JOHN" we assign DEF_GROUP1 in the user profile on the portal in Application Server 1
When we go to the user profile of "JOHN" on application server 2, we find that DEF_GROUP1 is a default group in the user profile of user "JOHN"
If we change it DEF_GROUP2, then the default group on the portal of application server 1 automatically changes to DEF_GROUP2.
Why is this so ? We would like to have a different default group for the same user in the two portal repositories. ?
Can any one provide some insight into this issue ?

Basically I started to develop this system inside Oracle AS and then when it came time to passing a request to a new page, it crapped out on me on the App. Server. So instead of trying to fix the problem there and then I continued to develop outside Portal and inside Jdeveloper. After a week or two once all my stuff worked perfectly I try and take it back into Portal but only the first JSP of all my Portlets would show up, because as soon as I would submit a form and the action directed me to a new page and Portal would be lost/confused. Obviously I shouldn't have done it that way but none the less...
So now I'm reading through the documentation you pointed me towards and it seems I have to qualify my parameters and then "attach" them to the url which the form will pass to the actioned page. I'm importing numerous classes (...urlUtils, etc) in order to qualify the parameters and then build this url without affecting any parameters currently present that my portlet does not own.
What I'm rambling towards here is all this separation of logic and presentation and the whole nine, implies different people can develop different parts of a 'system' mostly independant of one another...so in my situation I shouldn't in huge trouble yet, since underlying everything is a working system. My issue is with oracle and the App Server. If I take my code which works great outside of the App. Server and I fully qualify parameters and make sure my form actions are constructed using the UrlUtils in order to fully qualify them as well, and then I make sure page parameters are mapped to the proper portlet parameter values....should my system work on the App Server (assuming everything is done properly)....or am I still missing something.

Newbie - Installing Application Servers onto Grid Control

sorry for what may seem a basic question but we have 2 Application servers we wish to put onto our Grid Control.
Can someone point me to a page for installing/downloading the agent. I have tried installing the agent previously but this didn't seem to work.
We can access our DB EM pages in our grid control at present and also our RAC and ASM however i have been assigned the task of installing the agents for the Application servers.
Any assistance greatly appreciated

To ‘push’ the OEM agent from the OEM Grid Control patch 5455350 is needed. I found that after doing this I was still unable to fully deploy the agent by pushing it from the OEM GRID control. So take a different route
Download the proper agent installation file from http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/oem/htdocs/agentsoft.html
The GRID control agent installation zip file is extracted on the GRID control server and it should go to ORACLE_HOME/sysman/agent_download/<version>/<os>
set GRID control ORACLE_HOME
mkdir –p $ORACLE_HOME/sysman/agent_download/<version>
unzip /.../Win32_Grid_Control_agent_download_10_2_0_3_0.zip
opmnctl shutdown
opmnctl startall
WGET is needed for the installation of the OEM agent on Windows.
Download wget (complete package, except sources) from
http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/wget.htm
and install it on to the Windows server.
edit the agent_download.rsp response file on the OMS host and change the:
s_OMSHost="..."
s_OMSPort="..."
scp over the agentDownload.... script to the target machine.
ecit the hosts file on the windows server and add the Windows machine IP and hostname and OMS machine IP and hostname.
on the windows server execute:
script.exe agentDownload.vbs b <agent home on windows server> m <OMS host name> r <port number>
secure the agent
emctl secure agent
I got most of this from Oracle whitepaper 10gr2_agent_deploy_bp.pdf (bp=best practices).

Schedule a Background Job to Available Free Application servers

Hi,
There is a requirement to develop a Wrapper program,which needs to schedule Background jobs by checking all the available free application servers and assigning it to them.
For Eg: If there are 5 application servers in LIVE system,Then this program needs to find free application server's which will submit the job to that particular free server
Appreciate Your Inputs!!
Thanks

HT1941 Hi i have recently updated my version of iTunes in order to sync music from my macbook air to my new ipod shuffle. After a successful installation the application does not launch and I am unable to oepn iTunes of access my music! Someone please hel

Hi,
I have recently updated my iTunes to the latest version in order to sync music onto my new ipod shuffle. However after a successful installation the application does not launch or open? There are no error messages. The application is just unresponsive.
I have already checked the compatibility with Safari, my operating system and checked my firewall is not blocking it - all is fine.
Does anyone have any other resolutions?
Many thanks

Hi Carolyn,
Thank you for your time and response. The trouble is I am unable to launch iTunes? I have restarted my macbook air a number of times to try and initiate the application but the issue persists and the application remains unresponsive. Will not launch?

SAP R/3 Enterprise : Background job run on application servers

Hello All,
For our SAP system (SAP_BASIS 620, SAP_ABA 620,SAP_APPL 470), there are 5 application servers and one central instance.
We have a Background job that connects to external non sap system for data delivery via RFC of Type "G" i.e.HTTP Connection to Ext. Server with port 443 . RFC works fine.
In transaction STRUST, SSL certificates are also installed to enable the https connectivity from R3 system.
Our current issue is that background jon runs on one of the application server correctly and is able to transfer that data to external system. However if same job runs on other 4 application server, it fails to connect to external server and throws error:
RFC Destination XXXX not defined
407 Unknown error
Failed to store the XML content
Error in the XML document: 1301540.xml
407 Unknown error
This is very starnge for us .RFC is working correctly every time but background job works on one AS and not on other AS.
Where and What can be the difference in application servers.
Please help to send in ur replies. Thanks
Edited by: Chetna Verma on Apr 27, 2011 1:46 PM

Hi,
Is there a firewall between the non SAP system and the SAP system ? It could be that firewall rules have only been set for one only of the SAP application servers ?
Did you check the HTTP connections from each application server ?
Did you check that the ICM is running on each SAP application server ?

Olivier

Load balancing across multiple application servers not working with JCo RFC

We have a problem where inbound messages to the Mapping Runtime engine (ABAP -> J2EE) are not load balanced over application servers. However, load balancing does take place across server nodes within one application server.
Our system comprises of the following:
Central Instance (2 X server nodes)
Database Instance
2 X Dialog Instances (with 2 X server nodes each)
The 1st application server that starts is usually the one that is used for inbound messaging.
We have looked at the sap gateway configuration and have tried various options without much luck:
i.e.: local gateways vs. one central gateway, load balancing type by changing parameter gw/reg_lb_level, see: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/bb/9f12f24b9b11d189750000e8322d00/frameset.htm
Here are our release levels:
SAP_ABA     700     0012     SAPKA70012
SAP_BASIS     700     0012     SAPKB70012

WebDynpro Notification Service with multiple Application Servers

Hello Experts,
I am currently working on a project where I have to integrate a BSP Application into a new Web Dynpro ABAP Application. On the BSP Page it is possible to edit some details (for example for a customer).
When the user start to work on the BSP Page, the Web Dynpro Page should prohibit the navigation (i.e. disable all links). After Saving the BSP page, the navigation lock is released and the Web Dynpro reloads some data, which were changed from the BSP Page.
I have a NetWeaver 7.02 so I decided to use Shared Objects and the new Web Dynpro Notification Service to realize the given requirements. On the development system everything worked fine. The Notification Service was called and it took about 2 Seconds until the Web Dynpro Application updated.
But we got serious problems on the testmachine, which uses a Web Dispatcher and two application servers. After some research we managed that the application is running, and works.
But the Notification Service takes now up to 1 Minute until it fires the registered actions. And I good frequently an ASSERTION_FAILED from the method CL_WDR_NOTIFICATION=>ATTACH_FOR_READ in the ST22 as long as the application is running.
Can anybody help me how to solve this issue. It is a real blocker for the project.
If there is another way to establish eventing between Web Dynpro and BSP I would also go for another solution. But I don't think there are many other possibilities (SAP Portal and NWBC are no options - Maybe the new Web Dynpro PageBuilder?).
Best Regards
Daniel

Hello Guys,
we decided to do a workaround for the moment. We use a refresh button on the Web Dynpro screen. That is not very nice, but sufficient for the moment.
Anyway: I am still interessted in the BSP-Web Dynpro Interaction Issue. So if somebody has any ideas, please let me know.
@PageBuilder: Currently the page builder does not work on the system, because of an 403 - Error when I try to call the Application-Configurator (the SICF service is active). But I will try this also as soon as this problem is solved.
Best regards
Daniel
