DBACOCKPIT DB administration of NW AS Java instances

Hi all,
I am trying to configure my DBACOCKPIT which is running on the Solution Manager, to administer 2 SAP NW AS JAVA systems running in my Landscape.
So far I have managed to establish the DB connection which are tested successfully.
However when I for example try to run a DB13 through the COCKPIT for the 2 Java DBs I get the error:
SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE failed for BRCONNECT - Reason: program_start_error: For More Information, See SYS
I then check in SM59 the automatically created RFCs for the 2 systems. Of course they are failing and to my understanding this is happening because no SAP gateway is running on a NW Java Stack. The entries in the RFCs are empty and even if I try to give the hostname of the target system (I leave gateway service empty) the error is referring to the local location of Gateway, the maching hosting the solution manager.
As far as I can consider, I need to install SAP Gateway instances on the target Java Instances. Is this correct?
Is there any other alternative to achieve the functionality of the RFCs?
Kind Regards,
Loukas

Thanks a lot Juan for the reply. So I guess it is rather obvious that I should install the standalone SAP gateway.
Kind Regards,
Loukas

Profiles of Java instance

Hi people,
I´ve theoretical doubt about the administration of the start, java instance and SCS instance profiles. I know that ABAP instance profiles can be managed with the RZ10 and RZ11, but in java? I´ve searching on config tool, but i don´t find anything relationated with the start and java profiles.
more thanks.

Hi Ruben,
for the j2ee Engine or Java Applikation Server the java related parameter could by located on os level (JAVA_HOME), instance profile of the abap instance, configtool(offline tool), visual admin(online tool).
on os level under (zb. on unix) /usr/sap/Sid/JC<XX> /j2ee/cluster/instance.properties in this xml file there are some paramters for the java bootstrap prozess you can also edit this properties file with the configtool.

Configuring Logon groups for JAVA instances using NWA method

Hello,
we have a BI dual System landscape ( CI ABAP+ JAVA plus 2 dialog instance ABAP+JAVA, based on NW04s. I have set up a Web Dispatcher to do a load balancing for JAVA instances. I configured the logon groups according this documentation using NWA (http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/45/3dbe11a82b6bf1e10000000a1553f6/content.htm).
The following points are still quite unclear for me:
1. according documentation I should specify the following profile parameters:
[Define the special HTTP URLs, which SAP Web Dispatcher uses to send to the AS Java to retrieve the logon groups information]
wdisp/J2EE/group_info_location = [?] /JavaEE/public/icf_info/icr_groups
wdisp/J2EE/url_map_location = [?] /JavaEE/public/icf_info/icr_urlprefix
Wich values should i take here actually? These one or /J2EE/icr_groups and /J2EE/icr_urlprefix ?
2. Also I have to configure (in visual administrator) the GroupInfoRequest and UrlMapRequest properties of the HTTP Provider service running on server processes. They recommend to use /J2EE/icr_groups and /J2EE/icr_urlprefix. Should it be the same values as defined in those profile parameters?
3. I have defined the instance IDs and exacte Alias in the groups definitions in nwa. Is it possible to proof somehow while using my URL http://<host>:<port>/TestApp~test/<application_resource> either im web dispatcher (traces?) or on a web site on which DI I actually land to be sure that my load balancing works properly and i don't land on my Central Instance?
Thanks a lot in advance for your advices.
best regards,
Polina

Understood, Install the web dispatcher and configre the ABAP Message Server Port and ms/http_port (T-CODE:SMMS). Test this link
http://host:port/sap/public/icf_info/icr_groups
and this would retrieve the list of ABAP (SMLG) cofigured groups.
For java load balancing, icm of that host will send the incoming requests to JAVA Dispatcher. The load balancing happens on the basis of server nodes and can be found in the web dispatcher session dispatching table.
There are no necessary parameters required for java load balancing except the number of server nodes you'll hookup to that dispatcher.
There is an option called service based, where we configure the j2ee hosts to accept the connections for the services which are running but I haven't seen much customers using this option.
Bottom line: No changes are required for java side and enable the "ext rfc" option for abap logon groups and rest will be taken care by Web Dispatcher.
Use connection pooling and high timeouts to acheive the better througput and use the SSL termination on Web Disp.

ok, I have understood what you ment in the first passage Thanks!
When I put javascript:document.cookie in my Internet Explorer Address Bar i got the following information:
PortalAlias=portal; saplb_STD_JAVA=(sapt20p_T20_20)207175450; JSESSIONID=(sapt20p_T20_20)ID1892984750DB11747115157906231437End; saplb_test=(lx003207_T20_20)206509050; saplb_*=(lx003207_T20_20)206509050
what does here saplb_STD_JAVA mean?
you can use following URLs to access any particular Java Server node of any server.
https://<host name>:<https port>/irj/portal;saplb_*=<Java serer node number> https://<host name>:<https port>/irj/portal;sapj2ee_irj=<Java server node number>
What is the difference between saplb_* and sapj2ee_irj?

Restart of java Instance

Hello,
When I restart the java instance of sap PI (stopsap && startsap) I see that a lot of applications don't start.
In order to sse that I go to NetWeaver Administrator > Operations > Start & Stop
in the first tab (Java Instance) I don't see any instance
In the tab "Java Services" all the services are started
In the tab "Java Applications" a lot of applications are not started.
Could you please tell me how to automate the start of these applications when I restart the server.
Thanks.

Hello accsap
If you system has instances ABAP+JAVA
There a transaction for restart the services of JAVA
The transactions is SMICM and enter in the option "Administration, J2EE instance (Local), Send Soft Shutdown, With Restart"
I understand that you problem in this moment is that you system is not start.
I have a problem same with my system and the problem was the system not has Memory for start the J2EE, this problem was because the "J2EE" grows and grows in the consume of memory and was not release, in the moment of restart the server physical, my problem is solved.

How can I correlate an Java instance number with a server id?

I have 6 Web App Server running ABAP and the JAVA stacks. I can log into the Central Instance server and run /usr/sap/<SID>DVEBMSG00/j2ee/configtool/configtool.sh and bring up the GUI interface to "see" all the instances and their variables. I don't see an easy way to trace back the Java INSTANCE to the physical server's hostname.
Is there a central repository to correlate a Web App Server Java instance number to the actual hostid/hostname of the target server? I realize I can log into each Web App Server and look at the /usr/sap/<SID>D00/j2ee/cluster/instance.properties and find the Instance number, but I was wondering if this information was held in the SAP Central instance or SAP Database somewhere.

Hi Timothy,
The instance ID used for the JAVA cluster is generated at installation time, and -amongst other things- takes into account the time it was generated. We installed two instances in parallel (on different hosts) and ended up with almost the same instance ID.
Because this can be very confusing, we asked SAP if this was changable - in theory it is only an ID which could be changed as long as it is updated on all places the identifier is stored - but SAP indicated that that is not possible, nor supported. We ended up with a diagram of the system architecture with all the identifiers on our desk.
Note that in the config tool - all instances are displayed with their system instance number. If you were to install a new system it might be usefull to install all instances with different instance numbers so you and distinguish more easily between them.
Hope this helps,
Cheers,
Walter

Abap Instance + Java Instance

Hi people,
In the sap netweaver 7.0 EHP1 SR1, it´s possible to make the installation firstly the abap instance (Business Warehouse), and after the installation has finished to do the installation the java instance (Enterprise portal) ?
In the installation guide
Installation GuideSAP NetWeaver 7.0 ABAP+Java including Enhancement Package 1 SR1 on Windows Oracle
In the new features says that:
New dual stack (ABAPJava) systems only for SAP NetWeaver Process Integration (PI) and SAP NetWeaver Mobile Infrastructure (MI) --> As of SAP NetWeaver 7.0 including enhancement package 1, you can install dual stack (ABAPJava) systems only with usage type Process Integration (PI) or Mobile Infrastructure (MI). This means you can only install a dual stack system either as a Process Integration system or as a Mobile Infrastructure system.
Installation option Java Add-In for ABAP disabled --> As of SAP NetWeaver 7.0 including enhancement package 1, the installation option Java Add-In for ABAP is disabled. That is, you can no longer install the Java Add-In to an existing ABAP system.
It´s possible??
More thanks

Hi Rubben,
That's true , with New relase of SAP we cannot install abap + java execpt for PI and MI due to some performance issues.
Even concept of java addin has been removed by SAP.
So, IF you want to install java with Abap , then you can fullful your requirement by installing seperate java instance .
Thanks

Should I use a separate JAVA instance for ADS

My customer has Enterprise portal and R/3 installed already. Now they want ADS installed. Would it be best to install a new JAVA instance for ADS or should I use the existing JAVA instance that is installed for the portal? I think the customer is preferring to use a separate instance so nothing already installed breaks. Also, if I do use a separate JAVA instance, should I connect to the portal through SLD?
Thanks,
Peggy

Hello,
Installation of new java instance for ADS (or) using the one available inthe portal java instance depends on the following factors:-
1) How much extra load can the existing java instance handle
2) What is the user case and expected load for ADS in the customer landscape?
3) Whether ADS will be used exclusively for portal ?
Following link may give you a better idea of whether to use ADS within applicaiton portal (or) use standalone ADS

How to change host name entry for java instance using config tool

Hi Gurus,
We are trying to invoke DR for dual stack SAP PI system.Strategy followed is BR Tool backup and restore method.
We are able bring up ABAP stack and it is still pointing to production Java stack.
Could any one please guide us with step by step procedure to change entries and bringing up java stack for DR system.
While bringing up java instance we are facing below issues
From starting framework it goes back to collecting data stack.
Thanks,
Avadhesh Sharma
+91-8095226536

Hi Avadhesh,
For dual stack systems backup/restore method is not recommended procedure for DR.
As it will have hostnames from Production.
Good approach will be to have export of Production Java stack and import the same into DR OR
Have the DR system installed using virtual hostnames which are similar to Production hostname.
When DR needs to be operational enable these virtual hostnames.
Hope this helps.

Deepak Kori

Time out parameters for ABAP and JAVA instance

Hello All,
We are looking for Time out parameters for our ABAP and JAVA instances.
As users are complaining that they are getting time out error
while they are trying to access Cprojects from Portal.
I was able to check/collect the ABAP instance parameters from SMICM Tcode.
Can anybody tell me which parameters we need to look for JAVA instance.
Thanks in advance.

Changing message server port for ABAP+Java Instance

Hi,
We had change our message server port for the Java instance from 3607 to 3667.
We did this using the j2ee config tool. We also verified this information through the console config.
But when we look into system info URL using the URL as shown below, we still that the old message server port is being used. We have recycled the instance couple of times , but does not seem to help.
http://dfudsbw1.dfna.corp.dom:50700/sap/monitoring/SystemInfo
Any ideas where else we have to change the port no. for the message server

Hi guys,
I solved this on my own with documentation help from SAP.
I had to change the port no. in the Global dispatcher and Global server area as well.
Please see details from SAP below.
"Message Server: Changing Ports/Hosts shows which areas need to be adjusted if
the port or host of the message server changes. Ports are, of course, changed in the
instance profile of the Central Services instance. In the example, the port 3677 and
the HTTP port 8177 have been set, and the new host is called twdfxxx. You need to
use the Config Tool to set these values. For each instance, you need to maintain the
corresponding values for the Message server host and Message server port on the
Message Server and Bootstrap tab page. The connection details for dispatchers or
servers to the message server are maintained in the Cluster Manager. As shown in the
figure, the ms.host and ms.port are maintained, respectively, in the Cluster Manager
with Global Dispatcher and the Global Server. After you have maintained all of the
parameters, you can start the instances."

Kernel upgrade having ABAP+JAVA instance

Hi team,
Can you provide the procedure how to kernel upgrade for our windows system having ABAP+JAVA instance releae version 700.
Provide the links, your replies are very helpful.
Regards
Bhaskar

Hi Bhaskar,
You can use JSPM too in this case. Otherwise if you want to do it the old fashioned way:
> Stop SAP, Database, Saprouter, listeners and all the
related services.
> The location of the kernel is /usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/exe/run
> Take a backup of the files in this location and take a
print out of the ls -ltr (This is needed to give the new files the
correct permissions)
> Overwrite all the new files to the kernel location. The
purpose is to retain the old files for which the new version is not
available.
> The permissions of the file need to be changed as they
were before.
> Restart all the processes. The kernel upgrade is
now done. System
> status will give the newer version of the kernel.>
>
disp+work
Will give the
new Kernel version.

Empty line at the end of SAP Java instance profile

I saw this today in help.sap.com, which says that an Java instance profile must have an empty line at the end of the file, would anyone know what is it for ?
The instance profile (/usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/profile/<SID>_<instance name>_<hostname>) u2013 this file contains settings that apply to the instance as a whole. For a Java-only installation, the file can be edited with any text editor (beware that the file must have an empty line at the end.);
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/2e/611724f410254ca12a3f396ec5ae85/frameset.htm
thank you
Jonu Joy

I have heard many "explanations" for this, but never really any solid answers.
From experience, however, I can tell you that the SAP profiles (both ABAP and Java) will miss the last parameter if it is located on the bottom line of the file. I have always put in two or three blank spaces at the bottom of the profiles in order to avoid this.
