CSS Keepalive Problem

Currently, I have two web server(A and B) with java engine running on top of the web server. It will give a error message "Internal error" if the java engine is mul-function. As such, CSS will detect that the Java engine of the web server(etc A) is down and thus detect that the service is down. We know that CSS can work on the idea that if certain strings are detected in the header/body, the service is consider alive, but is there anyway to state the reverse?

Could you clarify the problem you are having? It sounds like CSS is detecting the JAVA engine failure and re-directing to the other server so Im not sure what you are running into.

Keepalive problem on CSS11506

Greeting
One of application which using my CSS has problem to work with my CSS11506 after the application upgrade.
It does not regconize CSS' keepalive check and give error "broken pipe" on the backend server. (it treat the keepalive traffic as session?)
The CSS configuration for the application is:

Question:
1. Is it CSS's problem?
2. How can I configure keepalive for port 2304 to fix the error message? or how the application should configure to match with CSS11506?
Any comments will be appreciated
Thanks in advance

I have found what the application do is:
When you connect to port 2304 on the application server, if functional, the SocketServer service sends a banner:
RPY 0 0 . 0 246
Content-Type: application/beep+xml
http://xxxxx/xxxx/Profile' />http://xxx/xxx/TLS
' />http://xxxxxxx/xxxxProfile' />END
So, I need to script for receiving "END".
I have looked the script for socket:
kwd-css:julie(config)# socket ?
connect connect to a remote host
disconnect Disconnect a currently connected socket
inspect Inspect data received on a socket
receive Receive data through a socket
send Send a string of data to a remote host
waitfor Wait for a specific data string to be received through the
socket
css11506# socket receive ?
Socket number to send data through
Css11506# socket receive 1 ?
Execute command
Number of milliseconds to receive data (default 100ms)
raw Receive data in hexidecimal format (no ascii conversion)
css11506# socket receive 1 2000 ?
Execute command
raw Receive data in hexidecimal format (no ascii conversion)
css11506# socket receive 1 2000 raw ?
Execute command
it looks like there is no way to check if received is "END" or not?
Could you please advice?
1. To receive a banner, should I use keepalive tcp?
2. Do I need special the "socket receive" command
3. Does "socket receive" has a buffer or variable to store the banner, so I can check if the "END" is there?
Any comments will be appreciated
Thanks in advance

CSS keepalive TCP flags

CSS keepalive TCP flags
Hi. I have a problem with the way an application behaves in response to CSS tcp keepalives, I'd be grateful for any advice.
Using standard TCP keepalives, an application logs a broken connection for every keepalive, filling up the app logs, causing the administrators to complain. If I change the tcp-close type to FIN, the application doesn't log an error, but it still logs the connection, same complaint from the admins.
The application developers feel that it's not their problem, they're comparing the keepalives to nmap probes and indeed, it is possible to confirm that the service is up with nmap, without generating an error/connection log entry on the server.
According to some Wireshark captures, the TCP flags of a CSS keepalive, compared to an nmap probe, are as follows;
CSS
CSS --> Syn --> Server
CSS <-- Syn, Ack <-- Server
CSS --> Ack --> Server
CSS --> Rst, Ack --> Server
nmap -sS
NmapPC --> Syn --> Server
NmapPC <-- Syn, Ack <-- Server
NmapPC --> Rst --> Server
So, my question is, can the tcp behaviour of CSS keepalives be modified, to dispense with the arguably superfluous 'ack'ing that's illustrated above?
Thanks
Andy

Thanks for the replies.
I've tried tcp-close fin, it stops an error being logged, but the application still logs the connection.
I wouldn't be concerned, other than the fact it clearly is possible to both establish that the service is running on the server and not log the connection attempt, using Nmap's more abbreviated tcp behaviour.
I am curious, though. What is the CSS acknowledging when it sends an ACK in the RST packet?
Regards
Andy

CSS Keepalive state

When the CSS keepalive shows the state as "dying" is it still sending traffic to that server?
or is it holding the traffic in its buffer?
What does the user see?
thanks

A service that is dying will still receive connections/requests.
Assuming that the service has actually failed, the user will see a delay in reponse until the service is dead and the connection is reset/remapped.

CSS keepalive script for LDAP (Novell)

I need an advanced script for Cisco CSS11000 for LDAP keepalive. The problem is the built-in script is too rudimental, what it does is just check the tcp 389 connection to the servers plus some expected bind response code "0A, 01, 00". But what happened for us is when the LDAP server (Novell) is doing DS repair, in which the server is too busy to handle the real LDAP call but still reply the tcp 389 request, CSS think it is still alive.
We want a smart script that can handle real LDAP call (like a LDAP client) and send a real LDAP request instead of a simple tcp 389 request. Does anyone have any idea?
Thanks in advance,
Thanks in advance,
Dave

with the CSS script language you can send binary data and receive binary response.
If you know what port to send the request to, what are the binary data and what is the expected binary response, we can easily do a script for you.
The easiest way to get the binary info is to make a LDAP query and capture it with sniffer.
Also capture the response.
Make sure to do a query that will always result in the same response.
Once you have this data, you can try to update the ldap script yourself [hint: use the raw keyword when sending the data].
Or post the info here and will try to make a script for you.

CSS keepalive failing but service UP!

I configured a service with a standard keepalive on a RMI server as follows:
service SEARCH_AUT_DIH_2
ip address 10.216.71.4
protocol tcp
port 2001
keepalive type tcp
active
The service is certainly up but the CSS consider it down. I think the proble is in the RMI protocol incorrectly responding to the three wau handshake.
CSS 11506
ver 5.20 build 5
Has anybody experienced the same problem?
Thanks in advance
Fausto

If "keepalive port xxxx" is not specified the CSS assumes the port specified for the service.
It is not mandatory to specify the keepalive port unless it is different from the one used for the service.

CSS Keepalive Script

Hi,
I am writing a keepalive script, which put the service in active mode or in suspended mode, depending on a web page content, requested by the script. It works very good from active to suspended, but once in suspended mode, the keepalive script is not run anymore and therefore cannot detect the page, which should put the service back online! Is there a way for the keepalive to continue, even if a service is suspended ?
Thank you
Yves Haemmerli

Yes, I traced what the script does and it is clear to me that the keepalive stops if the service is put in suspended mode. I agree with you, if the service is down, the keepalive continue every retryperiod.
But I solved my problem in the following way : I created a second service, which uses another script (actually a subset of the first script), which also monitors the test pages on the server. This second script always exits with return code 0 (sucessful) and therefore never stops working. As soon the second script recognizes the character string "PORTALUP" in the test page, it sets the first service in active mode, which restarts the keepalive scheduling. It works perfectly and this allows to put a server in maintenance mode (suspend) from the server itself, without to stop existing user flows.
As this is a workaround solution, it would be better if the CSS would continue to keepalive in suspend mode...

Scripted Keepalive Problem

I've run into an issue with a new scripted keepalive. I've created the script and copied it to a CSS11000. I can run the script manually and it works as expected, however when I add it to a service, it is not run. After the service is activated, the service shows down, and the following information is shown for the script:
Script Error: None (suspended)
Script Run Time: Did not finish
I know I've run into similar issues when upgrading the CSS code. After restoring archived scripts within the new version, I'd have to reboot the CSS before I could use them in keepalives.
I'd prefer not to have to reboot my production switches if there is another way to get this to work.

Thanks Gilles,
I am quite backlevel on this particular pair of CSS's. I loaded the newest code on a CSS in the lab and did not have this problem.
Looks like I need to schedule an upgrade for the production boxes.

Is this Cf or CSS causing problem?

I am on the home stretch on this job. I have this one irritating problem and I am not sure if the prob is being caused by a <cfinput> tag or a style sheet
problem. Maybe someone out there can help identify what's happening. My guess is that it is in the CSS, but pulling my hair out to find it.
You will have to go to this page: http://www.renobowls.com/leagues/leagueRegSelect.cfm and click on "Individual Reg" button.
Look at the radio buttons underneath "Step One: Individual Registration"
I cannot get these suckers to line up in a single line. Here is the code:

CSS Layout problems

I should start this by saying I am very new to CSS layouts,
and am self taught, so I'm probably doing something very wrong. So
far I've stuck to really simple layouts and had no problems...but
they were very simple layouts.
With the site I'm doing at the moment I have placed other
div's inside a content div, so that I can have left and right hand
content within the content div. But the left and right div's are
not pushing the content div down with their content, and I'm not
sure what else to try to get it to work.
I've tried setting the height of the content div to auto or
inherit but that doesn't work.
As you can see on the main page of the site I'm using a
background image in the content cell.
http://members.westnet.com.au/zelky/surfschoolnew/index.html
And if you look at the details page you can see what I am
trying to describe. The content div not pushing down with the left
and right content div’s contents means the background image
is just a few pixels deep under the nav div.
http://members.westnet.com.au/zelky/surfschoolnew/details.html
And my pathetic CSS/stylesheet is here:
http://members.westnet.com.au/zelky/surfschoolnew/mainstyle.css
Thanks in advance and hopefully my mess isn’t’ to
hard to look at. As I said I'm a bit lost so hopefully I'm not
going to confuse anyone with my "home made" skills.

When you 'float' elements on your page you effectively remove
them from
the normal flow of the document, therfore the 'content'
<div> thinks
nothing is inside it. You need to help it by 'clearing' the
floats.
There are various methods for clearing floats.
Insert a 'clearing' <br> (shown below) into your pages
code directly
AFTER the closing 'right' container tag and BEFORE the
closing 'content'
container tag.
</div>
<br style="clear: both;" />

CSS layout problems in Explorer (fine in Firefox and Safari)

Firstly apologies to the mods, I had mistakenly posted this
in the dynamic section also...
My problem - I am working on a CSS site (my first!) here
http://www.benfrain.com
It appears fine in Firefox (PC and Mac) and Safari (mac) but
when I view it in Explorer for Mac (5.2.3) I get a over long page
and I get no auto margin on the left.
Another small curiosity - I have noticed that my background
image on my div id "header" seems to start off again on the right.
Again, Explorer 5.2 for mac only...
My html and css both validate.
Anybody know why this is happening?

Do you mean in the browser? I just tried it in Firefox and
after two increases the layout/style of the page kind of 'falls
apart' - how would this be rectified?

DW CS3 CSS template problems in EI6

I'm new to CSS and DW, so I tried starting with DW's new CSS
layouts. After working on this off and on for about a year, I
finally got the design to look okay in both FF 2 and IE 7. Wouldn't
you know my client has IE 6 and the layout breaks in 6. In 6 the
middle section, including the banner image, float drop down to the
bottom. If I make the width on #container2 to be 956 pixels instead
of 950, then 6 lets the middle section float up, but all browsers
have a background colored gap between the banner images and one or
more of the sidebar images. I'm ready to pull my hair out!
Here's the link to the page set to work for IE 7 and FF and
to break in 6. The entire site, of course, has many more pages but
this just has the index because I'm experimenting.
http://www.montanahorsesales.com/shf2/
and here's the style sheet that has the problem.
http://www.montanahorsesales.com/shf2/styles/thrColFix.css
The reason I added the #container2 is to get the cream
colored background to show in both IE7 and FF. One or the other was
giving me the dark green background in the main content and the
other was giving me the cream colored main content background like
it was supposed to.
Any suggestions? Is there a quick and easy way to fix this so
it works in all browsers? Or a hack to fix it for IE 6? I can live
without it working in any IE before 6, but I need 6 to work.
In general, it is a mistake to start with DW's included CSS
layouts? I thought it would be such a smart thing to do but now I'm
not so sure!

CSS Float Problems

I'm just becoming comfortable with using CSS. At least, I
thought I was. I put together a test page and it worked on IE 7.
Then, I downloaded Firefox and Safari to check compatability on
other browsers.
I have a centered page with a top navigation bar, content
area, and a footer (bottomNavBar). Inside the content area I have
two sections, a left section and a right section. In the left there
should be text, some sort of welcome text. In the right some sort
of Flash intro video the user can play when they choose.
The problem: I got the float to work in IE 7 (Sometimes it
wouldn't. It seems tempermental.). However, the floats won't work
on the other 2 browsers. In the other 2 it puts the first div
listed above the second instead of side by side like in IE 7.
Here is the code:

To make your contentIndexFlashIntro & contentIndexWelcome
divs sit
side-by-side you have to assign each a width. The combined
total of those
widths must be <=800px.

Default css file problems

I'm trying to use a default css file in a library project... I'm using this in my library's compile arguments:
"-include-stylesheet defaults.css /assets/styles/defaults.css"
In defaults.css, I'm trying to assign a defautl skin like this:
comp|Badge {
    skin-class: ClassReference('com.woo.skins.BadgeSkin');
The problem is when the component is being newed:
Main Thread (Suspended: TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.)
    mx.core::UIComponent/getStyle
    spark.components.supportClasses::SkinnableComponent/attachSkin
    spark.components.supportClasses::SkinnableComponent/validateSkinChange
    spark.components.supportClasses::SkinnableComponent/createChildren
What part am I doing wrong? I'm hoping it's the -include-stylesheet part, I couldn't find a single example for using that.

I assume you are using FlexBuilder to build and compile and not ant or the comand line correct? If so there are two things you need to check.
1) Where is your defaults.css located? As long as it is in the root of your library's src directory (ie. src/defaults.css) you shouldn't even need to add that compiler option. When it builds a project, FlexBuilder looks for a file named defaults.css in this location and will use it to override the framework version.
2) Go into your project properties -> build path -> assets tab. Make sure your defaults.css file is selected for inclusion.
