DNS alias name for portal server

Hi
I am using sun ONE portal server 6.2. We have added the DNS alias for the hostname in the DNS server for the portal server.
I have added this alias hostname configuration in
a. organizational alias name of the amconsole
b.Have modified the gateway.virtualhost name parameter in the /etc/opt/SUNWps/platform.conf.default file.
Kindly let me know if I have to add to any other places as we are using SUN ONE webserver, application server, IM server.
Waiting for your reply
Best Regards
Ramkumar Raghavan

you also might need to add an entry into /opt/SUNWam/lib/AMConfig.properties and add a FQDN entry for your new dns alias.

Fully Qualified Domain Name for Portal Server on Win XP

I'm trying to install the Portal Server (java_es_05Q1_portal-windows-x86) to a Win XP workstation to test my Kosmos portlets (http://labs.jboss.com/projects/kosmos).
I get the following error msg after selecting the features:
System doesn't have Fully Qualified Domain Name.
Setup Fully Qualified Domain Name and then continue installation.
What exactly am I supposed to configure under Win XP? (No /etc/hosts?!)
Thanks.
Aron

Hi!
Probably you could enter the hostname in c:/Windows/system32/drivers/etc/hosts
(maybe the directory is called WINNT, I have no XP here)

Visual Studio 2005 crashes when referencing ALI 6.5 portal server API

Visual Studio 2005 crashes when referencing ALI 6.5 portal server API
We are building new portlets in .NET 2.0 to that access the ALI 6.5 server API and are experienceing the folowing scenario:
I create a brand new project in Visual Studio (2005 with SP1 on Win2k3 R2 SP2) using the ALI Portal Project template that is provided with the application accelerator 1.1. This portlet will need to perform portal server searches so I begin by adding references to the following assemblies from C:\bea\alui\ptportal\6.5\bin\assemblies:
openconfig.dll
opencounters.dll
opencache.dll
openhttp.dll
openssl.dll
opentempfile.dll
plumtreeserver.dll
ptportalobjects.dll
I then type in something like below to start up the portal server objects.
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
IOKContext context = OKConfigFactory.createInstance("C:\\bea\\alui\\settings\\", "portal");
PortalObjectsFactory.Init(context);
this.Response.Write("Portal Objects Initiallized");
Some moments later Visual Studio will crash. It has happened before I have entered any code, after I have started typing code and on builds. It seems intermittent but usually occurs within a minute of interacting with this Visual Studio project. I actually managed to build once and have had success accessing this page in Explorer to validate the portal server objects are getting initialized and referenced correctly.
I thought this was a problem with my personal development environment. So I tried this on other machines: another Win2k3 ALI 6.5 dev portal server and another server with Visual Studio 2005 that I installed the 6.5 portal on just for testing this. The exact behavior listed above is occurring on three development machines here (crashing devenv.exe when portal references are made or loading a project with portal references). Since this does not seem to be isolated to a single development machine, is there any course of action that anyone would suggest to help solve this?
thanks,
Troy Rackley

It turns out that this is only a problem with Visual Studio using the ALI templates or creating any projects using the "New... Web site" functionality of 2005. I was a ble to create a C#... ASP.net Web Application project and add the references to the idk and the local portal server APIs manually without devenv.exe crashes.
So, the work around I have found if your projects needs to access both the portal server API and the remote API is to create the project with:
New... Project... Visual C#... ASP.NET Web Application
and NOT
New... Web Site... ASP.NET Web Site (or ALI Portlet Project)
Anyone know why this is the case?
Thanks.

How to change the name / IP address and domain name for BOE Server

Hello,
We want to change the name / IP address and domain name for BOE Server, please could you indicate the steps or procedure to follow?
I need your help
thank you

If it's 3.1 just change them, shouldn't cause any issues if by domain name you are referring to changing the domain the computer belongs to. If you are changing your domain for AD authentication then you will may have to take quite a few steps if the old domain is going away. Let us know.

Hi,
I have a scenario where I am taking column names into prompt. I have used the following SQL in the SQL results under "Show" option of the Prompt.
SELECT CASE WHEN 1=0 THEN AGE.AGE ELSE '"Orders"."By OrderDate"' END FROM " Real Time"
UNION ALL
SELECT CASE WHEN 1=0 THEN AGE.AGE ELSE '"Orders"."By ShipDate"' END FROM "Real Time"
My problem here is I am getting the column names into the Prompt as "Orders"."By OrderDate" and "Orders"."By ShipDate", which is not acceptable and readable for mat for the user. Is there any way that I can assign an alias name for the column name such as OrderDate and ShipDate in the above SQL.
Your quick respose is appreciated.
Thanks,
Rama

UNION ALL
SELECT CASE WHEN 1=0 THEN AGE.AGE ELSE '"Orders"."By ShipDate"' as "yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy"END FROM "Real Time"

Getting ipaddress or host name for virtual server

I want to get the ipaddress or host name for virtual server in a cluster environment. If i do
java.net.InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostName()
it returns the ipaddress of the physical node currently running virtual server.
Is there any way to get the ipaddress or host name for virtual server ?

You can get the hostname by clicking on the account properties in outlook, but the port you connect to must be opened by your system admin.

Alias names for account dimension

Hi,
The alias names for account dimension is not getting pushed to EAS for all EPMA essbase applications(ASO and BSO). However i see them in the application and in the dimension library. I just see the alias for accounts dimension as account but not for any members.

Alias Names for Column names in the Prompt

Hi,

My problem here is I am getting the column names into the Prompt as "Orders"."By OrderDate" and "Orders"."By ShipDate", which is not acceptable and readable format for the user. I tried using the alias name in the SQL query this way.
SELECT (CASE WHEN 1=0 THEN AGE.AGE ELSE '"Orders"."By OrderDate"' END) AS "By OrderDate" FROM " Real Time"
UNION ALL
SELECT (CASE WHEN 1=0 THEN AGE.AGE ELSE '"Orders"."By ShipDate"' END) AS "By ShipDate" FROM "Real Time"
but it is throwing an error.Is there any way that I can assign an alias name for the column names such as OrderDate and ShipDate in the above SQL.
Your quick respose is appreciated.

Change ur
SELECT CASE WHEN 1=0 THEN AGE.AGE ELSE '"Orders"."By OrderDate"' END FROM " Real Time"
UNION ALL
SELECT CASE WHEN 1=0 THEN AGE.AGE ELSE '"Orders"."By ShipDate"' END FROM "Real Time"
To
SELECT CASE WHEN 1=0 THEN AGE.AGE ELSE By OrderDate END FROM " Real Time"
UNION ALL
SELECT CASE WHEN 1=0 THEN AGE.AGE ELSE By ShipDate END FROM "Real Time"
So that it displays the Name as required
Then in the Fx for that column in the Report Use '"Orders"."@Presentation variable"'.
This worked for me Let me know if it worked for you.

Virtual host name for Portal (EP6 SP9)

Hi,
I just tried to set virtual host for the portal URL of a EP6 SP9. I set an DNS-Alias portal.company.com for the IP-adress leading to hostname.company.com. So, http://portal.company.com:50000/irj already leads to the portal start page.
I cannot find any differences after setting the virtual host alias 'portal' in the J2EE Administrator. I read the documentation in help.sap.com ... don#t know how to proceed. When looking at the access path in the details menu of a KM file, I still get the hostname.company.com-URL ....
In addition, can I switch the J2EE Engine make listen to port 80 and lead the alias directly to /irj, so that http://portal.company.com directly leads to the portal logon page??
Thanks for any help
Martin

Hi Martin,
1. To change the target URL of KM resources you can to the following:
Access the URL Generation Service Configuration by navigating to:
System Administration -> System Configuration -> Knowledge Management -> Configuration
Content Management -> Global Services -> URL Generator Service
Change the Host property to "portal.company.com".
2. You change the Port by opening the Visual Administrator and going to : Dispatcher -> Services -> HTTP Provider
Change there the "Ports" entry from (Port:50000,Type:http)to (Port:80,Type:http). Then go on "Save".
3. To remove the "/irj" from the portal URL you can create a index.jsp with the following content, and save it in the J2EE Documentation folder:
<Drive>:\usr\sap\<SAPSID>\JC<J2EE_instance_number>\j2ee\cluster\server0\apps\sap.com\com.sap.engine.docs.examples\servlet_jsp\_default\root
<%
//Send the redirect using server redirection (not client script)
//This will also send the HTTP GET parameters
String queryString = request.getQueryString() ;
if (queryString==null ) {
response.sendRedirect
("irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.portal.navigation.portallauncher.default") ;
} else {//redirect with HTTP GET parameters
response.sendRedirect
("irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.portal.navigation.portallauncher.default?" + queryString) ;
%>
Hope this helps,
Robert

Creating alias name for Context

I have a servlet instance name Sample I can access like this
http://localhost:8080/Sample
I am going to change the instance name programmatic ally. For example the same instance has to access like this also
http://localhost:8080/Sample1
http://localhost:8080/Sample2 etc...
this something like one instance with multiple names
what are the steps to do in tomcat side ?? Explain me more clear
One more question , Inside the tomcat webapps i have a folder & place a WAR in it. while restarting the WAR has to expanded right?
this is not done, I know why b'coz is in conf folder, server.xml will have appBase 'webapps' unpackWARs = true. How to change the appBase in server.xml through code.
Thanks in advance,
Saratha

I guess you could do that. With 11g Rac you would be able to use SCAN which is a single dns name to access your cluster. But even in 10g you could create additional names for your vips if you like those names better.

Appreciate your support on thisDo you mean you need to keep the original hostname, domain name and port number and use a different URL to access the application? If yes, then this has to be done at the network level (contact your network team) to add an entry at the DNS server.
