Configuring Automatic Failover for EPM Planning Cluster

We are trying to test automatic failover using a Planning(11.1.2.2)/weblogic cluster containing 2 physical servers and a Weblogic proxy plug-in for OHS.
I understand that to enable this we must configure in-memory replication of HTTP session states and to do this, (according to various sources including ID 779350.1) the weblogic.xml file must include a descriptor set up as follows:
<session-descriptor>
   <session-param>
    <param-name>PersistentStoreType</param-name>
    <param-value>replicated</param-value>
</session-param>
</session-descriptio>
Where should weblogic.xml be created or amended (if it already exists) for a Planning cluster in a standard scaled out EPM deployment in order to effect failover between the two servers.
Thanks

yes, it can be load balanced in hyperion registry i believe, seen it once only drawback is ,if a JVM goes down while processing a request it needs to be manually started, however the url will switch automatically

Weblogic7/examples/clustering/ejb Automatic failover for idempotent methods ?

This one should be easy since it is from the examples folder of bea 7 about
          clustering.
          Ref : \bea7\weblogic007\samples\server\src\examples\cluster\ejb
          I am referring to the cluster example provided with the weblogic server 7.0
          on windows 2000.
          I deployed Admin server and 2 managed server as described in document.
          Everything works fine as shown by the example. I get load balancing and
          failover both. Too Good.
          Client.java is using the while loop to manage the failover. So on exception
          it will go thru the loop again.
          I understand from the documentation that the stateless session EJB will
          provide the automatic failover for Idempotent stateless bean
          Case Failover Idempotent : ( Automatic )
          If methods are written in such a way that repeated calls to the same method
          do not cause duplicate updates, the method is said to be "idempotent." For
          idempotent methods, WebLogic Server provides the
          stateless-bean-methods-are-idempotent deployment property. If you set this
          property to "true" in weblogic-ejb-jar.xml, WebLogic Server assumes that the
          method is idempotent and will provide failover services for the EJB method,
          even if a failure occurs during a method call.
          Now I made 2 changes to the code.
          1 . I added as follows to the weblogic-ejb-jar.xml of teller stateless EJB
          <stateless-clustering>
          <stateless-bean-is-clusterable>true</stateless-bean-is-clusterable>
          <stateless-bean-load-algorithm>random</stateless-bean-load-algorithm>
          <stateless-bean-methods-are-idempotent>true</stateless-bean-methods-are-idem
          potent>
          </stateless-clustering>
          So I should get the automatic failover .............
          2. Also I added the break statement in the catch on line around 230 in
          Client .java
          catch (RemoteException re) {
          System.out.println(" Error: " + re);
          // Replace teller, in case that's the problem
          teller = null;
          invoke = false;
          break;
          So that the client program does not loop again and again.
          Now I compile and restart all my three servers and redeploy application (
          just to be sure )
          I start my client and I get a automatic load balancing between the server
          which makes me happy.
          But Failover ....?
          I kill one of the managed application server in cluster at any particular
          test fail point.
          I expect the exception to be taken care automatically by error/failover
          handler in the home/remote stub
          But the client program fails and terminates.
          1. What is wrong with the code ?
          2. Does the automatic failover with the indempotent methods also has to be
          taken care by coding the similar while loop for stateless ejb ?
          Your help will be appreciated ASAP.
          Let me know if you need any thing more from my system. But I am sure this
          will be very easy as it is from the sample code.........
          Thanks


Sorry I meant to send this to the ejb newsgroup.

Is Oracle Configuration Manager Available for Hyperion Planning Servers?

The "My Oracle Support" site (https://support.oracle.com) describes the values of installing the Oracle Configuration Manager on servers.
Question: is this available for the Hyperion products or just Oracle databases? If available for Hyperion products, does it add value to tech support?
Any comments would be appreciated.

John
This is partially correct. If you user12136418 are looking for a way to monitor health automatically and get access to web ex session technical support from one console OCM is a great tool. The fact that it is not a thick client in nature nor a windows service makes it ideal for having agents monitor network traffic SNMP and still have all hyperion health monitored without having to run a tool like SCOM. I have been waiting for this tool for a year . Now if only Hyperion would work with IE8. But we all can not have egg in our beer.

Automatic failover for message consumers

I'm trying to evaluate the failover capabilities of a message consumer when the JMS service is migrated either manually or because of a server failure. I've tried setting the reconnect policy to "all" on both the client and the connection factory, but my consumer will not receive messages after the migration occurs unless I restart it. I've seen some references in the documentation about a special license needed for using the JMS clustering capabilities. I'm using the default license that comes with the download so I suspect this may be the problem. Can anyone confirm this?

Hi
          Thanks for the immediate response. We are okie for the messages lost before the subscriber created.

IPAD2 with OS5. Configure automatic downloads for MUSIC.

Cannot find button, in the Store definition, for defining automatic dowload of music, through itunes and icloud. Just find for Apps and Books, although every screenshot for instructions in any apple site shows the music button above the Apps button.

It may not be available in your country. Automatic downloading of music is only available in certain countries.

Can I prevent automatic failover for a period of time?

We have two Exchange 2013 servers (and a witness server) in a DAG. They are all VMWare virtual. We have recently migrated our 500 users from Ex2007 to Ex2013, so there is a bit of a learning curve for us. One of the servers "A"
is has a better hardware situation than the other "B" server that is offsite. They both have the same memory and hard drive sizes. We would like to keep the databases active on the better A server. There was a situation with our
primary A server the night before that caused the databases to be activated on the B server which in turn caused B to run all the resources up to 100% and be very. I was able to move the active databases back to A and put B in maintenance mode so
that it won't fail over to B for right now until we can get B a better hardware situation.
Question is: Is it possible for B to keep getting the logs played to the server so that if there were a catastrophic failure on A, we could essentially activate the databases on B we would be fine. I don't want it to be activating on B on
its own. I don't want to break the DAG because we want it to be able to eventually be used as designed, but it may be a month or two. Essentially, can we put the DAG in a manual mode?
Thanks.

How to plan Failover for the following Scenarios in Flex-connect mode.

The following queries are in respect to AP High availability (not SSO fail over or Controller HA), meaning if one controller fails, the AP will be failing over to the secondary controller which is in a different Geo location. the AP will be in Flex-connect mode with local switching and local auth. in this scenario, following are my queries
1: If i have an SSID that has an interface group linked to it, can i fail it over on other controller where there may be a single WLAN linked to it.?
2:Do we need the subnet masks to be same at both ends?
3: if i have an SSID with open authentication, can i configure the remote network SSID with no authentication?
4: can any one link me up with a document that explains configuration case study of the flex-connect mode fail over scenarios.
All the help given would be really appreciated.
Thanks.

hi Scott,
Sorry for replyimg late. and thanks for your reply and suggestion.
it did help me a lot, but now i am in a tiff.
the thing is my client has following existing scenario:
he has 6 disparate locations with a standalone 5508 WLC at each location.
he is now planning to configure AP failover for every location.
we are using the Flex-connect design as he has not procured a HA-SSO license.
also the WLC are not in same location.
the Flex-connect design is with Local Switching and local Auth.
there are 2 SSID which are causing me issues.
1: SSID A is linked to an interface group which has multiple vlans.
2: SSID B shares its WLAN interface with another SSID (the wlan is split between 2 different SSID)
we need local switching for these and also they need to have local auth.
so if i remove the interface group for SSID A and use a bigger subnet, what will be the best possible mask to use considering that the ARP and DHCP broadcast shouldn't choke up the network (existing subnets are /21 and /22). or any workaround to minimise the network activity.
and for SSID b what is the configuration i would need to do on the secondary controller or is it just that the SSID needs to be present on the controller and the mask need not be same.
sorry for troubling you and thanks in advance

Setup failover for a distributed cache

Hello,
For our production setup we will have 4 app servers one clone per each app server. so there will be 4 clones to a cluster. And we will have 2 jvms for our distributed cache - one being a failover, both of those will be in cluster.
How would i configure the failover for the distributed cache?
Thanks

user644269 wrote:
Right - so each of the near cache schemes defined would need to have the back map high-units set to where it could take on 100% of data.Specifically the near-scheme/back-scheme/distributed-scheme/backing-map-scheme/local-scheme/high-units value (take a look at the [Cache Configuration Elements|http://coherence.oracle.com/display/COH34UG/Cache+Configuration+Elements] ).
There are two options:
1) No Expiry -- In this case you would have to size the storage enabled JVMs to that an individual JVM could store all of the data.
or
2) Expiry -- In this case you would set the high-units a value that you determine. If you want it to store all the data then it needs to be set higher than the total number of objects that you will store in the cache at any given time or you can set it lower with the understanding that once that high-units is reached Coherence will evict some data from the cluster (i.e. remove it from the "cluster memory").
user644269 wrote:
Other than that - there is not configuration needed to ensure that these JVM's act as a failover in the event one goes down.Correct, data fault tolerance is on by default (set to one level of redundancy).

DataGuard automatic failover

Say an automatic failover has happened.
The former primary DB is down.
The former standby DB is now the primary DB and is up and running.
I assume the clients have to reconnect to the second DB.
Now, how can we make the automatic failover for the clients?
(At least that you do not have to manually change the clients' tnsnames.ora to the new DB.)

Take a look into the NET8 manual. The simple way is to define multiple addresses in the address list. That way you get a connect time failover: if the first instance isn't reachable the scond one will be used and so on.
DB =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 192.168.1.1)(PORT = 1521))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 192.168.1.2)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = ORCL)
)

Automatic Reply for all emails

Dear All,
We have this scenario in our company.
We are about to change our domain name in our emails. i.e. [email protected] to [email protected]
For a period of time we want to have a general automatic reply in our old emails (for every email we receive) which will mention the change and inform people to send their emails to the new address.
Is there a way of creating a global automatic reply? We use office 365.
Thank you in advace,

Hi,
From the description, you want to deploy the automatic reply settings for all users in the environment, correct? Since the Automatic Reply settings are controlled by the server side, we may consider to change the settings from server side. See:

Replicating simple Java objects for automatic failover

Is there a way to replicate a simple java object that is bound from JNDI
          across all servers so that if the primary server fails, it will
          automatically failover?
          We have a java client that uses JNDI to access EJBs on WLS5.1 SP8. In order
          to determine client information, the client currently binds a simple java
          class in the JNDI tree. The Entity and Session beans use the caller
          principal to locate the object in order to access client-information for
          such things as record locking, logging, etc..
          We have to move this architecture to a cluster environment and we are
          wondering how we can replicate this object across cluster servers so that
          failover is handled automatically, and that it is still accessible through
          JNDI.
          An RMI replicated stub is not enough, since it only works as long as the
          server hosting the RMI object is alive.
          I'd like to add that the object is created and bound at client start-up and
          destroyed at client exit.
          Thank you for any advice or information,
          Dania Kodeih.


A: Replicating simple Java objects for automatic failover

That's what I figured. I guess the only solution in this case is to persist
          the object during client sessions. I was hoping for something simpler, but I
          guess I'll have to create an Entity Bean and everything else that comes with
          it.
          Thanks,
          Dania.

Veritas Cluster failover for oracle

Hi,
I'm performing veritas cluster failover for 2 oracle servers which is not working in one way. I've 2 solaris boxes where veritas cluster is configured for failover. In Box1 I'm running 10g and Box2 9.2 when I failover from Box1 to Box2 is working but the other way is not working I'm using 10g listerner for both the services.
Any help would be appreicated.
Thanks,

How to configure Automatic Account Clearing for A/R

Hi,
Kindly advice me how to configure Automatic Account Clearing for A/R
The client requirement is
In A/R the customer accounts are not automatically clearing when a payment is posted for that account. We are still seeing all open items and all paid or cleared items when we go to FBL5N and select open items for viewing. Please make account clearing automatic for customer payments.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Use T code OB74.
Maintain for your Chart Of Account, acct type "D", From and to customer accounts and then add the critera you want. Pls note you cannot define more than 5 criteria.
Then schedule the clearing program job F.13 in the background.
Cheers.
