Configuration of Application servers for PROD system in BW3.5

Hi,
We are getting new app servers for our production system (not yet live). Could you tell me
or post links to the configuration/settings to be used when setting up these servers?
Any thing from recommended parameters to no. of work processes will be helpful.
Thank you.
Pari.

Hi,
Kindly do not type completely in CAPS.
Take a look at SAP Note 140276 to correct errors in source system assignment.

  • Configuring Dual-homed servers for redundancy to 6509s

    I am looking for assitance in properly configuring dual-homed servers for redundancy to two CatOS based 6509s. My search for information on how to do this has been unsuccessful to date, so any help you can provide would be most appreciated.
    Do I need any special hardware/software on the 6509s and/or on the servers?
    Thanks, in advance.
    John

    A lot depends on the kind of servers you have and the NIC teaming algorithms they support. Usually two or more NICs can be teamed in either a fault tolerant configuration (with one primary NIC) or in transmit load balancing configuration. Both these configurations allow the NICs to be connected to separate L2 switches so in case your servers do support such kind of teaming all you need is to have both NICs in the same VLAN and ensure L2 connectivity between the Catalyst 6509s. I recommend you research this from the server perspective also and like everything else test it before production deployment.

  • Error while configuring the application server for ESB on Jdeveloper

    While i try to configure a application server connection on Jdeveloper for a remote installation of ESB (advanced mode with all the three components together and not in a cluster mode) i get the following error :
    Error getting OC4J Process for: opmn-home+oc4j-10.10.36.21-6003-default:

  • Configuration of EWA reports for java systems.

    Hello,
    I am facing a problem with configuration of EWA reports for SAP NW Portal.
    I have already configured EWA for abap systems, and those are running good on weekly basis. but i have problem with configuration of reports for java systems.
    So far, i have installed an SMD agent and CA on my EP-satellite system. I have also configured and SMD server on my Sollution Manager and registered the SMD agent on SMD server and installed Willy Introscope on SMD server.
    I  am using a central SLD which is running on different host as Solution Manager. I did all the configuration (smsy_setup, configuration of sld_data_supplier etc... )
    I have also created the system in SMSY, matched the smsy with SLD and assigned Logical component to java system.
    So far, so good according to manuals but when i  want do define data collection in the SMD for Gargage Collection  (task in scheduler) i cannot see host of my portal system.
    I can see only the hosts (scheduler tasks ) of all abap system for which the EWA reports have already been  generated.
    Am i missing something?
    Some configuration in SMD?
    My solution manager is running on Sap NW 7.0, SPS16,
    Sattelite system  NW 7.0 EP, SPS 6 (planning to SPS 19)
    Thank you for your advices!!!

    Hi Suveer,
    I did the configuration before. I forgot to mention it.
    I found this errors in Diagnostic Setup, maybe this could be the cause of the issue.

  • Problem in setting application server for technical system

    Hi all,
       While I was trying to set the application server and message server for an already existing technical system in the SLD,I dont get the option the option for adding a new application server or changing an existing application server.Any suggestions are welcome.
    Thanks and Regards
    Jishi

    Hi,
    for changing - did you try the "Content Maintenance" on SLD Homepage? It is Subset: Landscape Description and I guess Class "BC Application Server"
    For adding a second application server - go to the technical system, scroll down and press "Add" secondary application server.
    Good luck, Holger

  • Configuring 2 V240 servers for redundancy

    Hi:
    If I have 2 V240 servers, what is needed so that
    the standby server will take over when the active
    server goes down, or the connection to it is lost?
    Both servers are conencted to the Ethernet network
    from port bge0. Is there any special cabling needed
    between the 2 servers, and what special configuration is needed using ifconfig?
    Thanks,
    Srini9

    If you are using veritas cluster then there is no special cabling requirements for the heartbeat, heartbeat for veritas cluster is via kernel.
    I think other cluster softwares you may need 1 or 2 cross cables directly connected to both boxes.
    clustering strategy would depend on how much application services you need to provide and how much resources you have on hand and how tolerant is your management toward outages that would depend if the application cluster trying to configure is production or dev?
    If you 1 database to cluster then of course do an active/standby but if you have 2 or more databases running should you do active/standby or active/active again depends how rich your company, a server in standby mode is 'very expensive' if it is doing nothing however if you are limited by the number of disks you can spare in a diskgroup to have mirroring for data as well enough to contain all your application you may have no choice in the end but to do active/standby, it all depends on how much resources you can spare, you have to carefully plan how you want to portion out your system resources.
    Another consideration is 'how stable is your application running' if your application in standalone mode already crashes often, then configuring a cluster is doomed from the beginning and will have many problems. Since it will not work properly even in standalone mode a cluster will make it worse and a waste of $$$$.
    For failover depending on how capable is your cluster software. All clusters do failover for databases, nfs and applications basically start/stop etc ... Some cluster softwares are more configurable will allow you to failover with heartbeat is down, or if network interface is down it will plumb and 'up' another interface on the same server or failover to another box depending on your configuration.

  • Mount Points in Application Servers

    Hi ,
    I am planning to install ECC ISU , EP and BI in production environment.
    ECC & BI are On AIX and DB2
    EP is on Linux and DB2
    We will have two application servers for all systems ( ECC, BI and EP).
    Can anyone please let me know , what  are the sap related mount points (or, file systems) that should be present in the application servers of these systems ?
    Thanks and Regards,
    Moulinath Ray

    Thanks a lot Sunny.
    What I understand from your comment ,
    1. /sapmnt and /usr/sap/trans are to be shared between CI and all application servers.
    2. /usr/sap/<D01> or <D02> has to be created as local mount points in all application servers.
    3. The structure will remain same for all systems (i.e. ECC, BI & EP)
    Can you please confirm ?
    Regards,
    Moulinath

  • GRC AC 10 (RAR/CUP/ERM) configuration for EP system

    Hello Gurus,
    We are aware of configuring RAR/CUP/ERM in GRC AC 10 for ERP system(back-end)
    Are there any documents /links to provide information on configuring the above components for EP system ??
    Or rather specific which of the following configuration is possible for EP system ?? CUP /RAR/ ERM ??
    Also going further , is there any way in which we can configure the same for BO system ??
    I am not quite sure if there is any PLUG-In as such which is available for BO system or not .
    But in my opinion there is no need to perform configuration for BOBJ system as the roles in them are imported from Backend system (ERP/BI etc) , hence if these roles are already taken care during ERP system cleanup and SOD analysis , there should be no need to configure seperately RAR/ERM/CUP.
    Please provide your comments.
    Regards,
    Victor

    Hello Prasad,
    Thank You for your quick response .. the info was quite helpful.
    Will you please put some light on aspects of integrating AC 10 with BO ??
    Is there any connecter available for it?? Which scenarios are possible ??
    Humbly Requesting your help.
    Thanks in advance.

  • 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.

  • How do we decide the number of data base servers and application servers ?

    Dear Gurus,
    How do we decide the number of data base servers and application servers in BW ?
    How does this number help in data load balance and reporting needs ?
    Any hard n fast rule in the number of servers ?
    Regards
    Mohan

    Hi Mohan,
    Check the number of application server in the T-code SM66.... and also u can check the it in Sm50 on appplication server basiss./.
    From Sm37 u can see the application server Push button.. if u click on that also.. u can see the number of application servers in the system..
    Get into the individual application server and check how many Dialogue and background WP's are free,,
    If u see that the considerable number of WP are free(Waiting for task).. then u can shedule the loads..
    If most of the WP are  busy then u need to wait to trigger ur loads to maintain the load balancing..
    If one Application server is too busy then u can check the other Application Servers in the systems..
    And u can shedule the loads on a specific application sever level as well using the PC..
    Thanks
    I hope this is clear to u..
    Assign points if this helps

  • Solution Manager - EarlyWatch Alert shows red flag for managed system.

    Hi Guys,
    I tried to fix EarlyWatch alert report for Managed systems of QA and Dev which showed red flag on SolMan in DSWP. While trying to generate BACK RFC Destination to SolMan for QA and Dev, it messed up the EarlyWatch alert reports of Prod which was successfully working upto this point. And now the red flag appears for Prod system on SolMan in DSWP instead of two bottle sign.
    As for why Dev and QA did not work, I found out it was NONE internal RFC popped whenever I tried to choose the RFC to connect to SolMan while Prod which was working fine before always showed BACK rfc. That's why I tried to fix BACK rfc for Dev and QA.

  • EWA Report not being sent for two systems

    Hi Experts,
    We are having one issue in EWA Report in solution manager. Searched hard but could not find solution.
    Our solution manager is configured to provide EWA for 4 systems- ECC, BW, PI and Solution manager itself.
    The configurations are in place to the extend that we are able to view the weekly reports in Solution manager.
    Issue is -
    1. We are able to recieve mail notification for Solution Manager and ECC but not able to get for BW and PI.
    2. The ECC report is coming ok, but Solution manager report is blank.
    The places I checked the configuration -
    1. SDCCN for all systems.
    2. SOLMAN_EWA_ADMIN - all systems active and chcked for EWA
    3. Background Jobs for all systems -Maintenance Package, Refresh Session, Earlywatch Alert for Solution Manager
    4. Background Jobs related to the task including SM:EXEC SERVICES
    Later on I deleted and rescheduled the job SM:EXEC SERVICES to make sure it covers all systems.
    Data is visible in Solution Manager but report is not being sent over mail for two systems- BW and PI.
    Solution manager report is being sent but empty.
    Please suggest.

    What can be the reason?

  • Good Application Servers?  Struts?  what to do....

    Hi all I am currently charged with looking for application servers for my employer. Currently I was playing with JBoss 3.0.4, and it seems kind of cool I really like the ant and xdoclet that it uses. But we don't plan on using EJBs right now, so my question is, when do you need an application server? We don't have one now, all our pages are just on Tomcat. If we should get one what are the benefits, and which ones are good?
    Also about Struts, I was wondering if anybody uses sturts, I have read the docs, and it sounds like an interesting way of doing things, but I want to know what others thought about it. So any thoughts?
    Pup

    There is no need to implement something complex only if you vaguely feel that it will help you in the future.
    The best thing would probably to quantify what your future requirements will be. Then you can determine whether you need to really take the EJB route. While EJB has been the most hyped up technology (at least till Web Services came along), there have been serious performance issues when EJBs have not been used appropriately for questionable reasons or improperly designed.
    Of course you can always download an AppServer for free and develop prototypes/proof of concepts to understand them better and to determine whether they offer any significant advantage to you before deciding to reengineer your entire application.
    I came across an excellent book from WROX press titled J2EE Design and Development: Expert One on One. There is even a sample chapter available at their site. This chapter gives a fairly good initial idea of whether you need EJBs for you application or not. See the following link:

  • PROD Application servers are reflecting after system refresh in ST03 of QUA

    Hi,
    We recently performed DB refresh activity  from Source: Production to Target: Quality.
    We have 6 application servers excluding our central instance in production system.But after the system refresh,we observed in ST03 that these production application servers are reflecting as nodes on the left hand side in Quality system after refresh.
    Please help us how to delete those application servers in ST03.
    Regards,
    Sudheer.

    I too face the same problem with our quality system after refresh.
