Configuring App servers

Hi,
I am going through the documents of SAP Business suite on HANA DB and didnt found any information on the configuraiton of application servers.
After migration of business suite to HANA, as still end users use SAP front end to login through application servers , How does the app. servers should be configured to connect to database. Is it normal procedure where the database client is installed on appl. server and it connects to DB server ?
Please guide me through the documents if i missed any while reading.
Best Regards,
Venkata Ramakrishna

No, actually i tried it first with socks proxy disabled, and then with it enabled, but nothing appears to be working.. it sounds a little strange to me that Mail.app doesn't contain specific settings that allow users behind company proxies to still access their mail servers, b/c for whatever reason Mail.app doesn't appear to be using the default system-wide proxy settings specfied in network preferences, which by the way Safari picked up right away and started using. well, any further help on this would be much appreciated, thanks .....

SharePoint Foundation 2013 - Search Configuration Issue - 2 App Servers and 2 Front-End Servers

Hi,
We have a SharePoint Foundation 2013 with SP1 Environment.
In that, we have 2 Front-End Servers and 2 App Servers. In the Front-End Servers, the Search Service is stopped and is in Disabled state and in the 2 App Servers in One App Server, Search is Online and in another Search is Starting but goes to Stopped sooon
after.
Originally, we had only 1 App Server and we were running our Search Service and Search Service Application in that. Now since the index location became full and we were unable to increase the drive there, we added one more App Server and now the issue is
Search is not properly getting configured in either of these App servers. What we want to do is run Search only in the new App Server, because we have a lot of storage space for Index locations here, but in the older App Server, not run Search at all. We
tried keeping the Search Service disabled and ran the below PowerShell Scripts, but none of the ones are working. These scripts are creating the Search Service Application, but the error of "Admin Component is not Online", "Could not connect
to the machine hosting SharePoint 2013 admin component" is coming up.

Hi Karthick,
For your issue, could you provide the
detail error message of ULS log to determine the exact cause of the error?
For SharePoint 2013, by default, ULS log is at
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\LOGS
For troubleshooting your issue, you can try to run the SharePoint Products Configuration Wizard on your WFE servers and run the script for configuring the search service on SharePoint
Foundation:

Workflows 2013 and SQL Report Services: Configure on Independent Servers or Existing App Servers?

Currently, my SharePoint 2013 Farm has Workflows 2013 and SQL Report Services installed on app servers, along with other applications. Workflows 2013 isn't working correctly (installed prior to my coming on board with the organization), I'm assuming it
is a configuration issue, but rather than re-configure, I've read that is recommended to be a standalone server. It was also recommended by a MSFT rep that our report services have its own independent server. Currently, Report Services is also installed on
an app server that runs other applications on the farm.
Has anyone had any experience with installing Workflows 2013 and/or SQL Report Services on independent vs. existing application servers?
Additionally, my existing application servers have 24 GB of RAM (I believe the recommendation for SharePoint production environments is 12 GB), should I plan for the potentially new servers (Workflows and Report Services) to also have 24 GB of RAM? Not really
sure if it will be needed if they have dedicated tasks.
Thanks for any input you can provide!

It entirely depends on load. WFM will work just fine installed on servers in the SharePoint farm. SSRS preferably should go on the end-user facing servers for better performance.
The questions you're asking are all "it depends" :)

Configure Multiple App Servers to Use Same Files from Network Share?

Application Server v10.1.2
We're currently running Oracle Forms and Reports for a legacy application. It is served up by 8 app servers who pull the files from a single file server. We are beginning to transition pieces of this application to Java; how would we configure the OC4J instances on all 8 machines to pull the Java files from the single file server? In my experience I've always just logged into each app server, gone into the OC4J instance, pointed it to my ear file and let it install(course, I only had to manage one or two servers, never 8). That doesn't seem like that would work in this distributed configuration.
Any suggestions?

You can cluster your Application Servers, and then deploy your EAR to the cluster insted of deploying the EAR on a single OC4J.

BSPs configuration with multiple apps servers

Hi Masters,
This is regrarding configure ICM and BSPs on our production box with multiple application servers.
We have our production box in a cluster environment.
The central instance is dbciSAP and apps servers are sapaps2 thru sapaps6. The database is on shared disks. Whenever the central instance fails sapaps2 takes the control and become as dbciSAP but the main dbciSAP never become a application server when ever sapaps2 acts as dbciSAP. Since we have configured load balancing concept in production environment the users can login to system thru any application server. This is waht our environment.
As part of our production box to SAP 4.7 upgrade from 4.6C, we are asked to configure the environment to deploy BSPs. We have successfully configured and deployed the BSPs in our DEV and QAS system (Both are central instances with no application servers) except production box which is due in the next month.
The process we follow to activate BSPs is as follows:
1.Define an ICM service port in /etc/services file.
2.Add the ICM related parameters in instance profiles.
3.Make sure the ICM status is active in SMICM tx.
4.Activate the BSP services in SICF as per OSS note 571484.
Now, the question is how to configure the same ICM service and activate the BSPs since we have multiple multiple application servers.
Subsequently What I am enquirying is:
Do I need to define ICM service ports on each and every hosts where the application servers are running?
Do I need to make changes to each and every instance profile of the application server?
What are the differences in configuring ICM services on central instance and application instances?
Appreciate any help in this regard.
Thanks and Regards
Murty Patchipala

Grasshopper,
I think what you should really read up on is the SAP WebDispatcher. If are serious about running BSP/ICM across multiple app servers, this is the key technology:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/42/5cfd3b0e59774ee10000000a114084/frameset.htm This may also answer some of your questions about profile parameters.
Other than that I can share what we did. We did activate the ICM and services on all app servers and central instance. The service ports of the individual servers aren't that important now because of the WebDispatcher (at least they aren't visible to the user).
Yes we did make some of the ICM profile changes in each instance profile. If your settings are the same, consider using the default profile. Are their particular settings you are interested? I will look over ours, but I don't remember any huge differences from APP server to Central Instance.

Guide on how to setup/configure a cluster of v10 app servers? BPEL + Jdev

I am planning to run a cluster of 2 app servers instead of currently a stand alone App server
for BPEL processes. Is there a guide/tutorial about how to configure the app servers so that they run as a cluster?
This guide show cover necessary adjustments in BPEL source code and in JDeveloper (deployment) as well.

Configuring Apps for SharePoint 2013 - Host Header Sites

Hi All
I am busy planning our Apps for SharePoint deployment and one gotcha seems to be sites that use host headers. Our current deployment consists of the following:
2x WFE's (WFESRV1 and WFESRV2)
2x App Servers (APPSRV1 and APPSRV2)
The WFE's are load-balanced and we have 2 sites, portal.intranet.com and mysite.intranet.com. Both use host headers. I have gotten to the point where I will have a DNS zone called companyapps.com and a CNAME *.companyapps.com.
To which site do I point the CNAME to and what if I need both sites to be App enabled? Also, a lot of sites mention I need a empty site collection on a separate IP in order to use Apps with host headers. How would I use this empty site collection and
what would I name it?
We are on the March 2013 update.

May Be I understand your question as *.companyapps.com should be pointed to sharepoint server but where in IIS binding would you map *.companyapps.com
Actually, When you configure the APPS on server, the central admin > apps > you have to mention this *.companyapps.com. Now all apps will be "(yourname)-guid.companyapps.com"
Then you will have to create a app catalog where all the app related details will be stored
When App service application is created it is automatically added to default service connection. and this service connection to mapped to other web application(Application management, you see service connection)
If all is configured well apps will automatically work for all web apps

Can you install the Office Web Application Server on one of the App Servers for SharePoint 2013?

Hi,
Is it possible to run Office Web Application Server (shows preview images for docs and allows Notepad, Word, Excel to work etc) on one of the SharePoint 2013 App Servers. I don't want to have to create a new server. It talks about setting
up a farm.
Better still how the feck do you switch this functionlity off - I always remember it being a pain in the arse. We accidentally ran the first part of the configuration on one of the SharePoint App Servers only to find out our subscription does not
have this download (bar stewards changed this Nov 2014 - just after started contract).
Help would be much appreciated as close to go live
Thanks.
John.

Hi John,
Please reboot the server at the very beginning and test the issue again.
Quote from you:
Problem is I get Internet Web Page cannot display the webpage everytime I click in a excel document, powerpoint document, notebook link or the preview
Please post the url in browser address here.
If you just executed the command below:
Add-WindowsFeature Web-Server,Web-Mgmt-Tools,Web-Mgmt-Console,Web-WebServer,Web-Common-Http,Web-Default-Doc,Web-Static-Content,Web-Performance,Web-Stat-Compression,Web-Dyn-Compression,Web-Security,Web-Filtering,Web-Windows-Auth,Web-App-Dev,Web-Net-Ext45,Web-Asp-Net45,Web-ISAPI-Ext,Web-ISAPI-Filter,Web-Includes,InkandHandwritingServices
It just install some windows feature to the current server, we can find it should be done before installing several server products.
Could you please verify if the command you executed is the same as the one above?
You could also go to local disk and check if there is OfficeWebApps folder under C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\?
If you check in Control Panel > Programs, is there any feature related to Office Web Apps?
If you have confirmed there is no Office Web Apps feature installed, please go to SharePoint document library settings, and make the document to open in client, does it work?

CF10 Some pages render blank, No configured web servers

I'm moving from CF8 to CF10 and having some issues. My CF10 install is a clean install on brand new server running Windows Server 2008 R2 64bit IIS 7.5. I've upgraded to CF version 10,0,11,285437. Out of the 50 or so Apps on the server almost everything works, but there are a few pages that just don't render at all. No error, nothing. Viewing the source for the page just shows an empty HTML page. Coldfusion logs are empty and there's 500 null error in the IIS logs.
While researching that issue I found many people recommending I rerun wsconfig after patching CF, so I tried that and it looks like my sites aren't configured correctly. During install I configured the sites individually (2 of them run in 32 bit while the cfadmin site runs in 64.) Now when I run the Web Server Configuration Tool as administrator I just get a Configured Web Servers box that is empty. When I click add the next window shows IIS, but the drop down for IIS Web Sites is disabled. Checking the Configure 32 bit web server option doesn't change anything. 99 out of a 100 pages work just fine, so it seems odd that the tool is telling me the server isn't configured. I'm not even sure where to start at this point.
EDIT: I've read most of the posts related to the wsconfig and none of the solutions presented yet make any difference. ASP.NET, .NET Extensibility, CGI, ISAPI Extensions, ISAPI Filters are all already installed. I've tried reinstalling CF, IIS, even going back to a clean snapshot of he OS several times and the result is always the same. I've even tried it with and without IIS Compatability.
Edit2: I've figured out the problem with wsconfig (McAfee IPS was preventing it from working.) Unfortunately, even after reconfiguring the servers I'm still getting the blank page problem. Nothing in any of the CF logs and a 500 null error in the IIS logs.

Hi
Out of 20, if there are 10 coldfusion (.cfm) pages which are working fine and rest of the 10 are not working fine then you must run the code analyzer to check the error on those pages as you mentioned that you have moved to CF 10 from CF 8.
Run wsconfig as Run as Admin and then see how many connector showing up there? Like if you have configure webserver with All option, then it will display on 1.
Thanks

Apps Servers Via SAPMMC

We centralize our 3 apps servers on the central instance when starting and stopping SAP via sapmmc. Now, all of the sudden, I can only start the central instance and can't start/stop any of the apps server. I am getting "Cannot connect to sapservice on (appserver#): 80070005, Access denied".
I tried re-registering all the sapmmc*.dll but not successful. Can someone shed some light on this issue please.
We are using SAP Enterprise 4.7 running on WIndows 2000 and SQL 2000.
SAPMMC configuration
C1 (Central Instance server)
A1 (App Server 1)
A2 (App Server 2)
A3 (App Server 3)

Thanks very much Subhadip. I did add all the app servers to the SAPMMC snap-in. After I addded all of them, the app servers are showing as grayed and only the central instance is green meaning active. When clicking on any of the app servers, I got cannot connect to <appserver> , access denied. As I read many threads and realize that it might be the DCOM causing all this trouble but I am skeptical in re-registering using DCOM. I have checked the security on sapstartsrv.exe and all look fine.
Thanks for the RZ03 tcode. I will try that over the weekend and will report next week on the outcome.
Really appreciated your help for responding to my issue.

Why we need SSL Certificates for configuring App Server in Sharepoint

Hi Support,
We are planning to have a separate server for Apps, while configuring the server its asking for certificate. The main scenario is while configuring server inside the same firewall why we need SSL for configuring.
Could you please let me know the reason why we need SSL for configuring App Server.
Thanks in Advance,
Regards,
Pradeep

Hi Pradeep,
SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is a transaction security standard that provides encrypted protection between browsers and App Servers. When SSL is enabled for an App Server, browsers communicate with the App
Server by means of an HTTPS connection, which is HTTP over an encrypted Secure Sockets Layer. HTTPS connections are widely used by banks and web vendors for secure transactions over the web.
Secure Sockets Layer is a requirement for web applications that are deployed in scenarios that support server-to-server authentication and app authentication. This is such a scenario. As a prerequisite
for configuring Task Synchronization, the computer that is running SharePoint Server must have SSL configured.

9.0.4 infrastructure with 2 or more App Servers

Hi,
I currently have iAS R1 running on Windows and connecting to a main database.
I'm installing 9.0.4 on two app servers and I need to use portal. I understand that I need to install the infrastructure with 9.0.4.
I'm just a little confused.
Does each server require its own install of infrastructure?
Does the Portal object still install to the main database?
Where is SSO getting information from if using two servers with two infrastructures?
Could I install a copy of infrastructure in the main database?
Or am I losing the plot a little here?
Many Thanks
Pat

Hi Pat,
First of all, if this is a new installation you should consider installing 10.1.2 rather than 9.0.4. There are a number of significant improvements in the Installation and High Availability areas, especially when it comes to ease of use.
If you are planning to use the two Portal middle tiers in parallel, i.e. to serve the same content most likely with a load balancer in front of them, you should configure them to use the same metadata repository. If these are two different portals that, for example will be run by different departments of the company, you should install one metadata repository each for them.
The identity management components, Single Sign On and Oracle Internet Directory (etc), can but does not have to use the same metadata repository as your portal.
Take a look at Oracle Application Server Enterprise Deployment Guide for more information.
Regards,
Mathias

Installing multiple web/app servers

Hi all.
Hope someone can help out with this (BPC 5.1)
We have a live environment with 2 SQL boxes (clustered), plus 3 Web/App Servers which are all configured to go through a load-balancer.
I'm trying to setup a DR set of servers, and have built the clustered SQL boxes, plus 1 Web/App server.
Trouble is that I don't yet have a working load balancer on that site.
My questions are:
Do I need the load balancer setup first, then enter the LB address in the "Reporting Server", "Web Server" and "App Server" boxes during BPC install?
Would the lack of a load balancer prevent me from setting up more than one Web/App server, as the 2nd one just hangs about 3/4 of the way through the BPC installation and tells me nothing.
Finally, if the answer to the first question is "yes", will I have to uninstall/re-install BPC, or can I just change the settings in Server Options?
Thanks
Craig

Thanks Carlos
I've now sorted the problem.
For anyone else attempting the same thing:
The load-balancer MUST be referred to by DNS name (e.g. NOT by IP address)
The load-balancer name is entered in the following fields in Server Option on the App Servers:
Reporting Services Server Name
Reporting Services Server External Name
Application Server External Name
Application Server Virtual Name
Web Server External Name
Web Server Virtual Name
Then, once you hit Update on your second App server, you wind up with over 50 rows in the tblServerInfo table (within the AppServer database).
This needs to be backed up, all rows deleted, then go into Server Options on one of your App servers and hit "Update" again.
That way, you get just the normal 32 rows in the table again.
Hope that helps (and makes some kind of sense)
Craig

PI app servers?

We are currently running PI on NW 7.31 and instead of adding additional memory/cpu to the existing VM, we would like to expand out and create app servers. Is this possible? If so, any additional configuration required within PI to accomplish this (i.e. logon groups, etc.)?

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 .
