Configuring SFTP adapters over AIX Servers

Hi All,
We are trying to configure SFTP for FTP Adapter .
However,we are stuck at the first step itself.As the whole of Oracle Documentation says that it is possible only on Windows/Linux.
And we are using AIX5L based server boxes.
Would anyone have an idea how to configure this over AIX ? Kindly share your knowledge at the earliest.
Thanks,
Rma Goyal

How to configure SFTP Adapter in XI?

Hi All,
How to configure SFTP adapter in XI?, It would be great if anyone sends a step-by-step documentation on the same.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
About SFTP .
1) SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol)
"SSH File Transfer Protocol" or SFTP is a network protocol that provides file transfer and manipulation functionality over any reliable data stream. It is typically used with the SSH-2 protocol to provide secure file transfer. SFTP encrypts the session, preventing the casual detection of username, password or anything that is being transmitted. One key benefit to SFTP is its ability to handle multiple secure file transfers over a single encrypted pipe. By using a single encrypted pipe, there are fewer holes in the corporate firewall.
SFTP:
As per the latest SAP PI/XI support pack, it does not support SFTP via File Adapter.
So alternative approach to cater this requirement from XI is to make use of Unix Script at OS level to transfer the files from/to third-party systems.
Inbound Interface - i.e. third-party system ->XI->SAP:
File is transferred to a folder in SAP XI landscape from the third-party legacy system using UNIX Script with secured protocol. Once the file is ready in the XI landscape, File Adapter will poll this directory and file is picked up by NFS protocol.
Outbound Interface i.e. SAP->XI->third-party system:
XI is responsible for writing a file into a folder in the XI landscape. These files are transferred to the third-party system by executing UNIX scripts with secured protocol i.e. via sFTP.
Pre-Requisites:
Public key should be exchanged between external systems and the PI system.
UNIX shell script has to be developed and scheduled.
Advantages:
Highly Secured.
Ability to handle multiple secure file transfers over a single encrypted pipe .By using a single encrypted pipe, there are fewer holes in the corporate firewall.
Disadvantages:
Two-Step process i.e. XI>Temporary folder>External System and vice-versa
Files have to be temporarily stored in XI server.
Multiple failure points i.e. XI and Unix script execution
Maintenance of an external UNIX script.
Difficulty in monitoring the execution of the shell script as it cannot be monitored thru XI.
Need to generate keys and install it in the SFTP site as a pre-requisite i.e. SFTP clients must install keys on the server.
SFTP uses keys rather than certificates. This means that it can't take advantage of the "chains of trust" paradigm facilitated through Certificate Authorities.
Files from the XI server should be deleted/archived in a periodic manner to increase the disc space so that it will increase the performance.
Note: UNIX shell Script can be executed as a background job or' can be triggered from SAP XI through OS command at File adapter level.

Configuring sftp to recognize kbd input like arrow keys

I use sftp (from a terminal window) to post files to my web servers. For what I'm doing, a GUI is overkill and just slows me down. I need to know if there is a way to configure sftp to recognize a keystroke like the "up arrow" and interpret it as "repeat the last command", like the bash shell does. Does it use someting like a TERM value?

The default console is very poor, so you can't even do that without extra native libraries (I believe JConsole was one).
Although if you add some Swing, you can create a console-like system with a JFrame and some textfields.

Buying New AIX Servers + Oracle DB

Hi,
11.2.0.3
To further support our company's business goals and strengthen its infrastructure, We are buying new
-IBM machines Aix servers
-Oracle Db EE licenses,
-Application Suits,
-Weblogic Suite, (WebTier, Oracle HTTP Server, Oracle Web Cache, Oracle Portal, Oracle Reports Services),
-Identity and Access Management Suite Plus (Oracle SSO),
-Directory Services Plus (Oracle OID)
I am task configure initial setup of the "heart" of the project which is the database
I know that I need to plan and tune well the initial production setup so it will work good, and all the
other software is depending it will perform good too, resulting to a successful project.
It this regard, can you share be "best practices" documentation in installing and configuring the initial PROD setup of Oracle Database 11.2.0.3.
Do I recommend to install the lastest patch 11.2.0.4?
What others things to consider to achieve a successful well tuned and best performance for and initial setup? (aside from following the install guide)
Thanks a lot,
pK

The same "best practices" as for setting up a TEST database, which you should do first.
There is no reason NOT to start with 11.2.0.4.
I know that I need to plan and tune well the initial production setup so it will work good, and all the

If your application suite is poorly written, don't expect a "perfect" setup of the database to work miracles.

Is there any option in ANT to configure Standalone-adapters?

Hi frends,
i need to move the entair code from development server to test and production server. os i need to configure Connection Pools, Data Sources and Standalone-adapters. is there any option in ANT to configure Standalone-adapters?
thanks in advance
Best Regards

No, unless you write your own ant script to create / update your Oracle AS installation.
Or if you use Weblogic you could use WLST scripting for Datasource etc.

Stetting up FTP and SFTP adapters for the same interface

Experts-
I have a situation in which client has a requirement to setup both FTP and SFTP adapters (from adapetive adapters) for the same interface. They want to have a copy of file locally and also want a file to be sent out securly using SFTP. In my interface which was previously developed they have used one business system and added FTP and SFTP to the same. If try to add new Receiver Agreement it will say that the object already exists as the Interface Mapping is same.
Please send me any suggestions which would resolve my problem

Hi Hari,
As you cannot create two Receiver agreement using only one receiver interface , please create a new receiver Interface, add that in interface determination step and then assing a different channel to new receiver agreement.
If your requirement is to store the file ,i would suggest write the file in your unix directory using NFS( /usr/sap...). then run a AFT job (if already set up in your landscape) to transfer file securly to target destination.Not sure if its feasible in your case otherwise you can use SFTP for the secure transfer.

How to handle SFTP (ftp over SSH)

Hi there,
I know XI only supports FTP (and FTPS(SSL)) when trying to exchange files with other systems.
Right now, i have to interconnect a legacy with XI. This external server uses SFTP (FTP over SSH) as an standard of file transfering process.
Could you please tell me if there is a possibility to integrate them?
Best regards,
David

You'll need either to:
- develop the connection in a java proxy,
- develop your own adapter,
- buy an adapter for SFTP from a 3rd party,
- if you have UNIX as OS, use OS commands (through shell script in a file adapter for example) to start SSH/SFTP connection.

CPU Monitoring of AIX servers through OMW

HI All,
Can you please let me know how can we monitor the CPU Utilization of AIX servers through OMW. I have created a template and deployed on all the AIX servers, but the problem is it is working fine on some of the servers (alerting one's the threshold level is exceeded) but is not alerting for some servers even though the agent is working fine on those.
Please let me know what can be the validations I can do to ensure monitoring is working fine for all the AIX servers.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Arvinder

After spending more time researching I think I have found a solution:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/kevinholman/archive/2013/06/22/opsmgr-2012-hyper-v-management-pack-extensions-published.aspx
http://hypervmpe2012.codeplex.com/
This Hyper-V MP addresses the monitoring of servers using dynamic resources and it looks to also contain optional performance counters for reporting. No reports only dashboards are included. Will need to create these from scratch.
Anyone use this MP? any feedback?
Cheers,
Martin

OVD - configuring multiple adapters not working

Hello
I have an OVD (11.1.1.6.0) installation on Linux. I have configured two LDAP adapters (Oracle_Internet_Directory) in it.
Now when I try 'ldapsearch' to test the connection, I see that users from only one ldap server is getting authenticated.
For example lets say I have adapters A and B configured in OVD, and when I check authentication with only 'A' in active status, it works fine.
Similarly , if I disable A and activate B, then authentication from B works fine.
But if I activate both A and B, then only one of them is authenticating. Any clues on what could be going wrong?
I am completely new to Oracle virtual directory. Played with it a bit, but with no luck :(
To give you some more details about the setup, both the LDAP adapters map to the same domain (data and hosts are different). That is, the 'root' and 'remote base' of both adapters are same (like dc=a,dc=b,dc=com)
thanks
T2

Hi T2,
If you have properly configured the LDAP adapters in OVD; then you should be able to authenticate against both LDAP servers.
Is it possible for you to search for users in ODSM User Interface after you add both LDAP adapters?
If you are successfully able to search users from both adapters then you should be able to authenticate as well.

Configure virtual hostnames in AIX

Hi All,
We would like to configure virtual hostnames for our sap servers. We are running on AIX 5.3
Please let us know what exactly needs to be done at unix level to do the configuration.
We are referring to the below sap notes.
Note 962955 - Use of virtual TCP/IP host names
Thanks,
Tanuj

HI,
Ask your OS vendor or who has implemented cluster about IP address of cluster package,
then, add those IP addresses in you "/etc/hosts" file as below:
<IP add clusterPackage> <ClusterPakage-1>
<IP add clusterPackage> <ClusterPakage-2>
and so on...
IP address of Cluster Package is nothing but a "Virtual Host" IP Address...

Openssh and dhcpcd updated today - now sftp cannot find local servers

Hi folks,
I did my update thing this evening 'packer -Syu' and openssh was updated to 6.6p1
[2014-03-19 18:44] [PACMAN] upgraded openssh (6.5p1-2 -> 6.6p1-1)
and dhcpcd was updated to 6.3.2-1
[2014-03-19 18:43] [PACMAN] upgraded dhcpcd (6.3.1-2 -> 6.3.2-1)
and then sftp stopped working as it was ok before the updates.
I get error messages like this:
[dellgx270:steve] /home/steve
1442 20140319 234019 $ sftp laptop.local
ssh: Could not resolve hostname laptop.local: Inappropriate ioctl for device
Couldn't read packet: Connection reset by peer
[dellgx270:steve] /home/steve
1443 20140319 234030 $ _
This is how I network my machines. Its much lighter on resources than either NFS or Samba, but is a bit tricky to configure at first go. The Arch Wiki has some older stuff in it and is a bit confusing for first-time users but I also 'googled' other forums and eventually got things configured correctly. Ubuntu flavors work out of the box, but Arch needs some extra leg-work to get things organized.
I tried removing the ~/.ssh/known_hosts files but that didn't work. Since the error was a resolver issue (according to my error messages) I tried using the IP address of the laptop.local machine 192.168.2.10 and that worked both at the command line and via my file manager thunar (I run XFCE on all my boxes because it works well and with a few additions I can get it to do what I want) ...
Problem is, the IP addresses are assigned by dhcpcd (which means they can get reassigned somewhere else) so I would prefer using the host.local names in scripts and bookmarks etc.
Anyone else having issues of this sort? Inquiring minds need to know!

From the Arch Wiki - Networking - Avahi page (this is what I've been using for more than a year):
"Avahi is a free Zero-configuration networking (zeroconf) implementation, including a system for multicast DNS/DNS-SD service discovery. It allows programs to publish and discover services and hosts running on a local network with no specific configuration. For example you can plug into a network and instantly find printers to print to, files to look at and people to talk to. It is licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL)."
I don't use hosts file or anything else to resolve the names of the local workstations and/or devices. I have a relatively new Sagemcom fibre router / modem device, and it has been working well since installation ..
What I've been trying to say - as in my initial post - that this worked properly before I did the dhcpcd update. I'll recheck all the settings for dhcpcd, ssh and sftp (and anything else in my networking configurations) to see if anything is in error. There were no .pacnew files created during that software update. I'll post anything that I learn.

Java Caps 5.1.3. and SFTP (FTP over SSH)

Hi,
I'm trying to use the BatchSFTP option from the batch eway to setup FTP over SSH. I'm having trouble in setting up the keyfile. I've generated a trusted_hosts file using openSSH via CYGWIN (I'm running on W2003 server). The error I get is: Batch SFTP eWay connection failed, method=[connect()], message=[Exception when connect(), e=java.io.IOException: Invalid SSH1 public key format].
Has anyone experience with FTP over SSH and can help me out on this.
Thank you very much,
Cor Zijlstra

You need to convert the server public key for the server that you are connecting with to the IETF SECSH format. If you have access to do that, you can run the command ssh-keygen -f myServerPublickey.pub -e > myIETFServerPublicKey.pub. Otherwise, your UNIX server admin will need to run that. Put the ITEF key in your .ssh directory and have CAPS reference that IETF format and you should be set. Make sure the connectivity map/env explorer is set to public key authentication.
I think there is a bug in CAPS with how it is handling the SSH formated key. I have been unable to prove it to support. Furthermore, more pressing issues have taken up my time (aka, other projects).

(HELP)Configuring two Solaris 10 sun servers for FAILOVER.

Hi guys,
i have two sunfire v440 servers which i have loaded Solaris 10 OS on them and i have installed a Web and DNS server on them..However i would like to synchronize both the servers for FAILOVER,so that incase one is down (crashes),the second can take over.I believe their is a daemon which can be used to accomplish this task.
Any ideas on what daemon in Solaris 10 that can do the Heartbeat synchronisation of two Solaris 10 servers,so that when one crashes,the second takes over.I will appreciate your assistance on this sys-admins.

Content database and share point configuration databases in different sql servers

HI
i have a sharepoint 2010 farm and connected to a sql server ,
here it can be possible to connect all sharepoint configuration databases to one sql server,
and content database in different sql server ,
if i do in future can i face any issues?
adil

Yes you can. You can specify the SQL server whilst creating the databases and as long as you have configured the required permissions that will be fine. If you really wanted you could have a dedicated SQL instance for each database, although that would be
very wasteful.
There are no significant issues, you will have a bit more maintenance to look after two SQL servers but that's about it.
