Connecting specific server node from portal

Hello,
I am trying to access specific server node with URL "http://<Server>:<Port Number>/irj/portal;sapj2ee_irj=<Node ID>"
I am able to access portal page through the above URL, but even while entering incorrect Node ID, portal page is accessible which should not happen ideally.
I am trying to configure an alerting mechanism so that I can know which server node is up and whiich one is down when users try accessing portal.
Please provide me steps to access server node through portal and also if there is some specific portal parameter which controls the above mentioned anomaly.
Regards,
Anuradha

Hi Anuradha,
Please use something like:
http://<Server>:<Port Number>/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.portal.navigation.portallauncher.default;sapj2ee_*=<NodeID>.
You can use
java_scriptj<colon>alertOpenparentesisdocument<dot>cookiecloseparentesis
to find out if you connected to the proper node. Note the sapj2ee_* parameter is optional so if the value provided is not correct it will connect you to one of the available nodes. Remove the underscore from java_script.
Replace:
java_script with javascript
<colon> with :
Openparentesis with (
Closeparentesis with )
SCN would not let me post the symbols
Best regards,
Duncan

Deactivate Portal server node from Web dispatcher, but still keep online

We want to deactivate a Portal server node from the Web dispatcher. We also need to connect directly to the specific node.
We configured the Server Node using Config Tool --> Server_ID####### --> Debug --> Debuggable --> Restricted Load Balancing. The node is not available to the Web dispatcher, However we are unable to explicitly connect to that node. We get the error message in the browser:
503 Service Unavailable
SAP WebAS engine is starting...
If this state does not change within a few minutes,
please contact your system administrator.
Check the recommendations in SAP Notes: 943498, 764417
Message: Dispatcher running but no server connected!
I have also read through the Web dispatcher online Help. They mention creating groups but they all seem to pertain to ABAP groups using SMLG. Our Web dispatcher is used in a strictly J2EE environment.
There must be a Profile setting or some config to restrict specified nodes... Let me know if you have found out?
Thank You,
Jon Sells

Hi PR,
Yes I understand that the Web Dispatchers Job ends at that point. That's why I want to stop the requests at the Web dispatcher by not allowing those nodes to be available.
Here is the situation. We have 3 Windows Servers with 10 Server Nodes spread accros them.
Host A - 2 Server Nodes, Central instance (Message Server) and SQL Server DB.
Host B - 4 Server Nodes.
Host C - 4 Server Nodes.
The Going Live Analysis suggested we move the DB off of the CI. We cannot do that at this time. What we can do is shut down the 2 nodes on Host A. Instead of shutting them down, we would rather remove them from the WD group. that way, our users never connect to the 2 nodes on the CI but Basis can still use them for Administration and those 2 nodes on the CI are never used for production purposes. Those nodes will just be used for monitoring and maintenance or even emergency purposes.
Right now our process to remove the 2 nodes from the Web dispatcher is to connect to the Admin page for Web Dispatcher --> Monitor Server Groups --> Right Click on the Host and select Deactivate. We have to do this whenever the Message Server is retarted. The million dollar question: How can that be set via a startup parameter?
Thanks
Jon Sells
Here is an example of how you can connect to a specific node:

I would like to be able to choose which specific node I'm to use.
Thank you,
Jerome M.

Jerome,
If by "specific server node" you mean the chice between server0 or server2, there is no choice.
You can connect only to dispatcher via dispatcher port.
Dispatcher will make sure your subsequent requests will be processed by the same server node, but, to my best knowledge, it is not possible to tell dispatcher what server node to use for initial connection.
Why do you need this option?
Maybe we can suggest you some other working solution.

How do i login to a Specific Server Node

We have three Server nodes in our production cluster for the Portal. We deployed a .ear file for custom webdynpro development. SDM during the the Deplyment should have deployed the .ear file on the server nodes. But it looks like the .ear file was not deployed on some server nodes.
My problem i do not know a way whyere i can specifically login to the specific Server node to check the Appliation.
My end users are getting Errors and i can not see them becuase i am not logged in to the same server node.
Any help is Appreciated.
Sudheer.

One way that I achieve this is by modifying the saplb_* cookie in the request. You can use firefox cookie editor addon to modify the cookie before a request is sent.
For e.g. your saplb_* cookie might have this value (J2EE31487700)31487750
here the node is 0 if you change the last digit to one it will go to node 1 so the value will be (J2EE31487700)31487751
Hope this helps.
To make sure the node is changed to 1, you can check the response cookie and it should contain a trailing 1.

Can't connect to server domain from server

Hi,
Since 2 days ago, i stop being able to connect to server domain from its own browsers. I'll try to explai:
I've my server up and running, you can check here: http://www.servidorlocal.com. I'm able to connect to this domain from all computers inside network and from my IOS devices over 3G.
The problem is when i try to connect from the server itself (safari, chrome, etc) always give me an error telling that cannot find the host.
Trying to connect over localhost or 127.0.0.1 it also works, but with the domain didn't work...
I cant understand why.
Hope someone here can help me solving this issue.
Regards
Mozack

OK,
I've solved the problem. If someone with the same problem, here what i do:
1 - System > Preferences > Network
2 - Choose from the list the network adapter that server uses, in my case is the LAN adapter.
3 - Click Advanced
4 - Re-configure the LAN connection (even with the same data).
5 - OK, server running locally too.
Thanks

Restarting J2EE server nodes from Developer Studio Vs SAP Management Consol

Hi,
What makes the difference between restarting server nodes from Dev Studio and SAP Management console.
Please let me know if any documents related to this.
Thanks

Thanks for your quick reply.
I observed that options for restarting services from Dev Studio are disabled.
Could you please let me know where we need to configure to enable these options when right click on server instances.
Thanks

JNDI lookup on a specific server node

Hi experts
I am facing the following issue, we are loading data from ECC tables on PI JAVA memory to improve performance at runtime, this is done by a JCO,
it works fine within one Java node. But when we tested it in Productive system (with 2 java nodes) it failed because data is stored in just one Java node, so if the message does not go through
that node it does not find that data.
This is part ofe the code from the UDF where we are loading data to java memory:
props.put(javax.naming.Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "com.sap.engine.services.jndi.InitialContextFactoryImpl");
*                         props.put(javax.naming.Context.PROVIDER_URL, "sapms://localhost:8110     ");*
*                         props.put("domain", "true");*
And this is part of the code from the UDF where we are getting data from memory
javax.naming.Context ctx = null;
*          java.util.Hashtable props = new java.util.Hashtable(1);*
*          props.put("domain", "true");*
*          props.put(javax.naming.Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "com.sap.engine.services.jndi.InitialContextFactoryImpl");*
                                                                                props.put(javax.naming.Context.PROVIDER_URL, "sapms://localhost:8110");
Can someone give me some light about how to send data to both nodes or how to do the data lookup into a specific node??
Thanks in advanced.
Emmanuel

Hi,
I guess what you are trying to achieve is to build a cache of ECC data in PI memory. In this case you have to maintain local cache of the data on each server node. Hopefully the amount of memory required will not impact the system stability.
Regarding the lookup of different server node, although it is technically possible, you need to bind a remote object in the JNDI and use costly remote communication to transfer the data between the server nodes.
I guess you also have to think of some kind of update / eviction strategy for your cache.
Hope this helps!

Possible to Directly Address Individual Server Node in Portal URL?

Hello,
A portal, java only, application server can have multiple JVM server nodes. The first node installed is server0, addtional nodes can follow like server1, server2, etc as needed and capacity allows. The typical URL for addressing a portal installation is http://<hostname>:<portnumber>/irj/portal. Does anyone know of a way to directly send a request to a specific node of the app server, ie. http://<hostname>:<portnumber>/server1/irj/portal?
The need typically arises during troubleshooting.
Kind Regards, Mitch

Thanks for taking the time to reply, but the information is not what I'm looking for. A distinction should be made between <hostname> and <servernode>. When I use the term <hostname> I'm talking the physical server device. When I use the term <servernode> I'm talking Java server nodes, logical units added to the SAP runtime environment to add processing capability.
In OSS 723909 you can see a recommendation, 'We recommend using additional server nodes instead of huge heaps'. It is these additional server nodes that I'm referring to in my query. You can add these additional java server nodes in 'configtool' with the menu path 'server - add server', provided the physical device <hostname> has adequate memory to support the additional node. So, configtool in a multi-host, multi-java-server node environment looks like this:
Global server configuation
instance_ID12345
     dispatcher_ID12345...
     server_ID12567
     server_ID12678
instance_ID#####
     dispatcher_ID#####
     server_ID#####
     server_ID#####
instance_ID#####
     dispatcher_ID#####
     server_ID#####
     server_ID#####
instance_ID#####
     dispatcher_ID#####
     server_ID#####
     server_ID#####
So, instance_12345 is the equivalent of physical host. The dispatcher that runs on the java app server, dispatcher_ID12345, makes the decision which server (server_ID12567 vs server_ID12678) to route a request to. My question is does anyone know of a way to directly address server_ID12567 versus server_ID12678. Again, this is needed for administrative troubleshooting puposes only.

Connect SQL Server 2012 from Windows Server 2003 with native client 9.0

Hi,
I currently have a setup where ETL tool Ab Intio, running on a Linux server, connects to the SQL Server 2005 through a passthrough Wintel server with Windows Server 2003 OS using SQL server native client 9.0
Now I have the requirement to upgrade the SQL server from 2005 to 2012.
My question is, will it be possible to connect to SQL server 2012 through Windows Server 2003 with native client 9.0?
As per the specs, I need native client 11.0+ to fully support SQL Server 2012, but then, as per specs, native client 11.0 doesnot run on Windows server 2003. OS upgradation is currently not on the cards.
So will it be possible to the run the basic queries we use currently, if we can connect SQL server 2012 through Windows Server 2003 with native client 9.0/10.0, without updgrading the OS of the Wintel server?
Thanking you in advance!

Hi Soumya,
Yes, you can use the SQL Server Native Client shipped with SQL Server 2005 to connect to a SQL Server 2012 instance, and there is no need to upgrade the operating system.

URL to connect especific server node

Hi personal,
Some time behind, my friend showed me an url count I get to address the call for a certain server node.
http://utic115:58300/webdynpro/dispatcher/sap.com/tcSLCMS~WebUI/Cms
Anybody oh he/she knows?
Thank you,
Obrigado,
Marco Zerbini

Hi Asha,
Here’re some suggestions for you.
1.
Please make sure the username and password are all right.
2.
Please check if you’ve added the Control Panel requested URL to IE trusted site zone.
3.
If you have configured an administration simple uniform resource locator (URL), you can access Lync Server Control Panel from an Internet
browser that is running on any computer within your organization’s firewall. So please check the Admin URL in Topology Builder.
Above all, hope useful.

Connect to Server App from other system

I have a clean install of OSX 10.8.2 with Server from Appstore. So far all is fine when running the server.app thru Remote Desktop Software. However, when trying to connect to the server.app from another System ( i use OSX 10.8.2 on both machines, updated the software also) then the system refuses to login. The Admin name and password are fine, they also work if just connecting via finder or when using thru Remote Desktop.
I am turning cracy because I have tried just about everything. I was reading about this problem existing under OSX Lion, but the fix recommended does not help at all.
Can anyone help - please? I hope the guys at Apple start looking into this as well.
Regards,
Reinhard

This did not solve my problem. I had tried this before, it seems so that the (remote) Server app has no right to connect at all.
Just to let you know: I enabled Remote Apple Events, Remote Login and Remote Management on Server. And I run and addminister the server via Apple Remote Desktop.
Also the "Allow remote administration using Server" on the server App is set.
Still, nothing solves this problem.

Backend R/3 connectivity for ESS MSS from portal

Hi,
We are currently in development cycle for ESS/MSS based on portal EP 6.0 SP16 and ERP 2004 in backend. We are trying to find out how the ESS/MSS business package on portal works with backend ESS functionality in ERP 2004. It is more of a connectivity question. We want to know if we expose our portal to internet so that users can login to ESS/MSS from internet, do we need to put backend ERP (ECC 5.0) system also in DMZ? Do we need to open ports between portal and R/3 so that ESS/MSS can work? Or the communication happens using JCO connections and we need not to expose R/3 system.
Also one more specific question? If someone knows how ESS/MSS talks to backend system. At SAP application layer level or database level? I am asking this question to check if I need to open a port to talk to database or I can very well keep 2-3 SAP application server in DMZ and work.
PK

You need to look at the specific business package. For example, ESS for mySAP ERP 2004 says that the technology is Java / Web dynpro, which says that the Java engine uses RFCc to get the data from the backend.
Othe businesss packages may use ITS, which then needs another connection from the user to the ITS server.
Cheers

Failing to connect SQL Server 2005 from SAP

I'm trying to connect SQL database to write some data to an external sql table. But it's failing giving below message,
Error Message returned from "ADBC_TEST_CONNECTION" program:
Testing a Database Connection Defined in DBCON
Could not open connection EACT_MESSAGES
sql error          1- occured:
Login timeout expired
I can connect from .NET Applications using the same connection string configuration.
What could be the reason for this.
Do I need to enable some service for this in SQL server. I have enabled all possible SQL related services.
But still no luck.

I found a solution..
Instead putting the server name, used IP address which is static. that solved the issue.
