Correct Configuration of listener entry for failover of connection/application.

What will happen in below three cases in term of failover of connection/application?
And what is the best practice or configuration of vip in local and remote listener?

I can't comment on the two scenarios that you say are wrong, other than to ask why posted them.
For the third scenario, that is also wrong: it does not use the SCAN listener or dynamically assigned IP addresses. It appears to be reverting to the old 10.x or 11.1.x technique. I blogged about this a few years ago,
www.skillbuilders.com/Oracle/Oracle-Consulting-Training.cfm?category=blogs&tab=john-watsons-blog&node=2369
None-the-less, your technique may permit session connect fault tolerance and session failover, if you have configured TAF or FAN appropriately.

  • RAC TNS Entry for FAILOVER

    Hi DBAs,
    We have a 4 node RAC Database (10.2.0.4) on Solaris 5.10. Sometime for maintenance we brought 2 nodes down. And using a service (which include all the VIPs for all oracle instances) If I try to connect to the database, I get error TNS Service not available and after 3-4 tries it automatically connect.
    I have not specified the FAILOVER parameter in the TNSNAMES.ORA. Assuming the default value is FAILOVER=ON.
    Please suggest do I need to explicitly define the value for FAILOVER, if so what would be the appropriate value - FAILOVER=ON or FAILOVER=YES. Also what is the difference between FAILOVER=ON & FAILOVER=YES .
    Thanks
    -Samar-

    Hi Samar,
    Put the vip addresses on your tnsnames.ora as the sample bellow.
    ORCL =
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (LOAD_BALANCE = ON)
    (FAILOVER = ON)
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = host1-vip)(PORT = 1521))
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = host2-vip)(PORT = 1521))
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = host3-vip)(PORT = 1521))
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = host4-vip)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
    (SERVER = DEDICATED)
    (SERVICE_NAME = orcl.com)
    (FAILOVER_MODE =
    (TYPE = SELECT)
    (METHOD = BASIC)
    (RETRIES = 10)
    (DELAY = 1)

  • How to configure oracle listener profile for multiple oracle database

    Hi,
    I am going to install solution manager system in the same server of ERP EHP4 on Windows. Both DB are oracle.
    I'd like to know how to configure listener in this kind of envirnmonent.
    a. use two listener and different ports
    b. use same listener but different ports
    c. use same listener and same port
    Which is the correct mothed?
    And, after installation, there seem three set of profiles of listten, one for ERP, one for SLM, and the other for OS?(%windir%system32), which one is functional?
    Please advise.
    Thanks a lot.
    Regards,
    Alex

    Hi,
    standard installation is creating new configs for listener for each instance.
    I would recommend to use one listener per each instance.
    YOU CAN NOT HAVE one port number for two differnet systems!
    If you want to use one listener than you must adapt tnsnames.ora, listener.ora and ensure that both systems will use different port numbers.
    For example PORT= 15<system number>

  • How to Configure an Cisco 5505 for PPTP VPN connectivity

    I currently have a Cisco ASA 5505(ASA Version 8.2(1), and ASDM gui version 6.2) and a Windows 2008 R2 server with one NIC card. Currently the router is connected to the interent sucessfully using the 'outside' interface(devices connected to the 'inside' interface have access to the internet and are assigned IP addresses via DHCP on the Windows 2008 Server which is also connected to the 'inside' interface) When connected with a client on the inside interface I can establish a VPN connection with the W2008 server, however when I try to connect through the internet I cannot. I have tried researching this on the internet, but have not had much luck. I know it has something to do with pptp port and allowing gre, but I am not familiar enough with configuring Cisco devices or the language they use, to configure this router. I feel as though I am missing something small but very critical. Any help or feedback you can provide regarding this issue is most appreicated, thank you.
    *Edit: I have attached a network diagram of what I am trying to accomplish, and I have also attached a dump of the current running-config.

    Hi,

  • Best practice for creating RFC destination entries for 3rd parties(Biztalk)

    Hi,
    We are on SAP ECC 6 and we have been creating multiple RFC destination entries for the external 3rd party applications such as Biz-talk and others using TCP/IP connection type and sharing the programid.
    The RFC connections with IDOC as data flow have been made using Synchronous mode for time critical ones(few) and majority through asynchronous mode for others. The RFC destination entries have been created for many interfaces which have unique RFC destinations with its corresponding ports defined in SAP. 
    We have both inbound and outbound connectivity.with the large number of RFC destinations being added we wanted to review the same. We wanted to check with others who had encountered similar situation and were keen to learn their experiences.
    We also wanted to know if there are any best practices to optimise on number of RFC destinations.
    Here were a few suggestions we had in mind to tackle the same.
    1. Create unique RFC destinations for every port defined in SAP for external applications as Biztalk for as many connections. ( This would mean one for inbound, one for outbound)
    2. Create one single RFC destination entry for the external host/application and the external application receiving the idoc control record to interpret what action to perform at its end.
    3. Create RFC destinations based on the modules it links with such as materials management, sales and distribution, warehouse management. This would ensure we can limit the number of RFC to be created and make it simple to understand the flow of data.
    I have done checks on SAP best practices website, sap oss notes and help pages but could not get specific information I was after.
    I do understand we can have as unlimited number of RFC destinations and maximum connections using appropriate profile parameters for gateway, RFC, client connections, additional app servers.
    I would appreciate if you can suggest the best architecture or practice to achieve  RFC destinations in an optimized manner.
    Thanks in advance
    Sam

    Not easy to give a perfect answer
    1. Create unique RFC destinations for every port defined in SAP for external applications as Biztalk for as many connections. ( This would mean one for inbound, one for outbound)
    -> be careful if you have multi cllients ( for example in acceptance) RFC's are client independ but ports are not! you could run in to trouble
    2. Create one single RFC destination entry for the external host/application and the external application receiving the idoc control record to interpret what action to perform at its end.
    -> could be the best solution... its easier to create partner profiles and the control record will contain the correct partner.
    3. Create RFC destinations based on the modules it links with such as materials management, sales and distribution, warehouse management. This would ensure we can limit the number of RFC to be created and make it simple to understand the flow of data.
    -> consider this option 2.
    We send to you messagebroker with 1 RFC destination , sending multiple idoctypes, different partners , different ports.

  • Incorrect VBFA entries for SO - PO document flow

    Hi,
    We are using a Third Party Sales orders delivery. I am facing a peculiar problem.
    Sales Order Created -> PR -> PO Created
    After PO is created, user has altered the Material Number and Ref. PR document number in PO for two items. That means the items were swapped (Ex. Items 220 & 230)
    GR is finished with confirmation from third party.
    When I see the SO document flow for each item say 220 - its shows both the PO items (220 & 230) actually it should be only 230 item inPO. The same case in the document flow of SO Item 230.
    Is there any program which corrects the incorrect VBFA entries for SO - PO flow. Already tried with program SDVBFA21 and its not working.
    My system is: ECC 6.0
    Thanks in advance for your help.

  • Stuck in the listener entry step in DUPLICATE OF RAC databases

    I am trying to duplicate with RMAN a new RAC db from production RAC db.
    I am done with the following steps:
    1). backup prod database with rman
    2). copy init file over and modity entries not to reflect rac paramters...
    3). create a password file for new db
    now I got stuck on step 4) Create a static listener entry for your new database and reload the listener as appropriate.
    This step is necessary, because an RMAN duplicate uses an auxiliary database that is in no mount and therefore will not automatically register itself with the listener(s) as specified by local_listener, remote_listener and or the default, 1521.
    For example:
    (SID_DESC =
    (GLOBAL_DBNAME = rman.colestock.test)
    (ORACLE_HOME = /u03/app/oracle/product/db/10.2)
    (SID_NAME = rman2)
    The above is instruciton I got.
    However I got very confused here:
    First, on the RAC server, I added sid entry at the bottom of listener.ora. and the tnsnames entry looks like this:
    abc =
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = xxxxxx76)(PORT = 1528))
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST =xxxxxx 77)(PORT = 1528))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
    (SERVICE_NAME = abc_service)
    How do I add a sid entry in the tnsnames.ora file? Since I supposed to create a single db first, not rac, do I have to put service_name or sid name there?
    ANother confusion is how to reload the listener? Since this is a RAC server, two nodes has two listenrs: abc_listener1, abc_listener2. Do I have to stop and start listner by svrctl stop the dynamic listener?
    Please if you can, provide detailed steps here how to create static listener in tnsnames entry and listener entry on a RAC environment and then reload the listener.
    I have to finish up the duplication this weekend. So any help will be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you in advance.

  • How to setup Linksys WRT120N for a dialup connection?

    I have a Linksys WRT120N wireless router. There is NO broadband modem connected to it. There is only a dialup modem inside the desktop computer.
    Windows XP SP3 is sensing that there is an always on connection to the internet with the Linksys WRT120N
    Question: How to I configure the Linksys WRT120N for a dialup connection?
    Thanks,
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Update
    The DHCP Server "disabled" setting doesn't stick, it returns to "enable" when returning to the configuartion settings tab, for whatever reason.
    Anyway, everything else seems to be there, including the "MSHOME" for networking; but STILL doesn't recognize dialup as default connection.
    Here's an example of what I'm seeing:
    When a time sync program is run automatically at startup, before the Linksys router was added, it would WAIT for dialup connection to be made BEFORE syncing the time. 
    After Linksys router was added to the computer, the time sync program, when starting with windows, will NOT WAIT for a dialup connection to be made, it will attempt to sync with NO DIALUP CONNECTION being made.
    A temporary fix has been to go to Local Area Connection (the Linksys router connection), right-click and uncheck Internet Protocol (which will also uncheck client for microsoft networks and file and printer sharing).
    I've manually reset Linksys router back to factory defaults and waiting for any help.
    The USB Adapter has not been configured to work with the computer that will be networked.  Currently, I plugged it into the computer with the Linksys router to quickly give you all the information I have for the ipconfig /all
    (The networked computer will not always be used.  What prompted my post, is that first, what I am really after is trying to fix this problem with the time sync program seeing the internet connection as "on" when a dialup connection has not yet been made.  Then, I'll focus on the second computer networking.)

    Hi michael,
    First of thanks for reply.
    Can we do it by public certificate or DNS entry e.g. both ISP Public ip address entry will be in DNS and user will hit particular DNS name. You r right that once link down so user will disconnect but when he will retry then he will connect via another link.
    Is it possible??

  • Configuring Listen Address for a machine / node manager

    Hi,
    If I give the localhost as value for the Listen Address for the machine (and this the Node Manager), I can start/stop any managed server belonging to the domain
    and related machine.
    When I change this address to the value of the IP address I get from "ping hostname" (that is to be found in /etc/hosts), or the corresponding host name found in /etc/hosts,
    I get the following Warning from the Console:
    - For server <managed server>, the Node Manager associated with machine MyMachine02 is not reachable.
    - All of the servers selected are currently in a state which is incompatible with this operation or are not associated with a running Node Manager or you are not authorized to perform the action requested. No action will be performed.
    Can someone explain me how can a machine and the node manager be configured with another value than localhost for the Listen Address?
    Is there maybe a configuration that must be done at physical server level?
    Having this functionality will be a necessity for a cluster.
    Thanks by advance for sharing your experience.

    Actually the cert is coming from your Dev machine but it is sending the Prod cert.
    What cert is used by your admin server ? It should match the host name.
    So your Dev machine is apparently using a copy of the prod cert / keystore rather than using its own DEV cert. It's not clear from your post whether this is the nodemanager using the wrong cert, or the managed server. So both should be checked.
    The managed servers need to be using a cert that matches their host name. If you have a managed server on VM-BEA-DEV, then the cert needs to be CN=VM-BEA-DEV. You can also use a load-balancer CN name in the cert if you have the cluster's HTTP values set to match.
    In your nodemanager.properties, are you explicitly accessing keystores, such as with:
    KeyStores=CustomIdentityAndJavaStandardTrust
    CustomIdentityAlias=some_alias
    CustomIdentityKeyStoreFileName=some_path_to_keystore
    CustomIdentityKeyStorePassPhrase={3DES}...
    CustomIdentityKeyStoreType=jks
    CustomIdentityPrivateKeyPassPhrase={3DES}
    In my multi-machine clusters, I have multiple certificates such as:
    admin machine1:
    has a cert for use by the admin server and NM that matches the host name ( with node manager.properties entries such as the above )
    has a 2nd cert that matches the load-balancer name for the cluster - used by the managed servers
    all other machines:
    has a cert for use by NM that matches the host name ( with node manager.properties entries such as the above )
    has a 2nd cert that matches the load-balancer name for the cluster - used by the managed servers

  • Add static entry for SCAN LISTENER

    Hey I am running a two node rac on grid 11.2 and db 11.2.0.3
    My application does not like the scan listener, therefore I have to configure the remote listener parameter to the vips of the two hosts, which is working fine.
    But it comes out the the system needs the service registered with the scan listener.
    So. How can I add a static service entry for my scan listener ?
    Chris

    Hi,
    I don't understand why add static service name. Add static service name on listener is recommended only when you need connect remotely in a Inactive Instance and only to SYS user can connect or if you don't configured LOCAL and REMOTE Listener Parameter.
    So, If you configure LOCAL and REMOTE Listener proper the all SERVICE NAME configured on your database will be always automatically added on all Listeners, you don't need worry about in configure the service on Listeners Manually.
    With Oracle RAC you should not use the Parameter SERVICE_NAMES, you define Service Using EM or SRVCTL

    know what I'm supposed to use.
    When slapd is running it saves its pid in the file /var/run/slapd.pid
    This allows other processes to find its pid to use to communicate with it.
    You do not need to create this file.
    also any one know the correct entry for
    /var/run/slapd.args?
    Similar to above, this is created by slapd. You don't need to worry about it.
    The better question is why is slapd not running (assuming your machine is set up to be an OD Master).

  • F400917: The current configuration is not valid for this feature. This feature cannot be used until you correct the configuration.

    Hello,
    We recently changed to TFS as our bug tracking system and trying to understand how to change the existing states of Bug\Add new states. We installed TFS 2013 Update 4 and followed below process to change state values. For example, I would like to change
    Bug State value of "Done" to "Closed",
    1. witadmin exportwitd /collection:"http://MyServer:8080/tfs/DefaultCollection" /p:MyProject /n:Bug /f:C:\TFS\bug.xml       
    2. Replace all values of "Done" to Closed
    3. witadmin importwitd /collection:"http://MyServer:8080/tfs/DefaultCollection" /p:MyProject /f:C:\TFS\bug.xml
    Then we see below error in Work -> Backlog
    TF400917: The current configuration is not valid for this feature. This feature cannot be used until you correct the configuration.
    Learn about how to correct your configuration            
    Details about the validation error appear below:
    The following element contains an error: RequirementBacklog/States. TF401098: This element defines the states for work items that appear on your backlog. The state configuration is incorrect. Each work item on this backlog must have one state with the type
    'Complete'. The following work item type does not have any state with the type 'Complete': Bug.
    The following element contains an error: BugWorkItems/BugWorkItems. TF400506: This element defines the states for work items that represent Bugs or Defects. Each state must exist in at least one of the work item types that are defined in: BugWorkItems.
    The following states do not exist in any of the work item types: Done.
    Tried export, made changes to ProcessConfig file for Bug states and imported. Still same issue.
    Please suggest on how to proceed with customization of Bug states\values in TFS 2013 Update 4
    Thanks,
