Enable server group in BPC job execution

Dear Experts
[Note 1476057 - Enable server group in BPC job execution|https://websmp130.sap-ag.de/sap/bc/bsp/spn/sapnotes/index2.htm?numm=0001476057&nlang=E]
After upgrade, the server group logic will be :
1, Create a correct server group with server assigned,
    job will be executed in specified server group;
2, Create a server group without server assigned,
     job will be successfully submitted to BW,
     but will not be executed until server is assigned to the server group;
3, Incorrectly specify a server group in web admin,
     client will get error message when run package.
As I understand the group server is defined in BW Server. Where should I specify this group server in BPC. I could not find the parameter in BPC Web Admin - Appset Parameters or BPC Server (.Net Server) - Server Options.
Appreciate if somebody can help ?
Thanks

HI John,
The group settings in WGM SL and Leopard are different.
Yes, they are. I booted to my eval copy of SL Server and ran through the settings in WGM, Server Admin and Server Preferences; as you pointed out, all the mail list admin tools I could find are in the Mail service in Server Admin.
The only thing that may be of interest that I could find is that for the group mail list, the email address for the group is group_shortname@ServerDNSname, not groupshortname@yourdomain (this is in the Mail Services Admin Guide for 10.6). This might explain why your email to the group may have been rejected?

  • Enable server group mailing list

    I am try to figure out why I cannot get the server group mailing list to work. I have a group called testgroup in my OD and have 4 users added to it. I restarted the server after I ticked the box "enable server group mailing list" in Mail/settings/Mailing list and when I send an email to testgroup the mail client rejects the address. What am I doing wrong? All I want to do is create a group email account.
    Any help greatly appreciated.

  • Server Group not working when one of Job Servers is down

    I have a Server Group of two job servers. They have the same version 12.2.2.3 and are attached to the same Local Repository of version 12.2.2.0.
    When I execute a batch job (from the Designer) and explicitly specify on which job server it should run, it works fine for either job server. Also, when I specify Batch Job execution on Server Group, it works fine.
    However, when I shutdown one of the Job Servers, and then try to execute the job on Server Group, I'm getting two error messages, BODI-1111011 that one Job Server is down, and BODI-1111009 that another Job Server has failed.
    At the same time, when I check the Server Group in the Management Console, it shows that the allegedly failed Job Server is in the status green.
    That error is not reflected in a job server eveng log, nor there is anything written to webadmin log, not in the job trace (the latter isn't created at all).
    Is there anything I can do at this point except raise a support message?

    The issue was with different users for Local Repository in Admin and Job Server config. I discovered it when trying to run the job from Admin Console. Designer is probably not the best diagnostic tool for such kind of issues.

  • Executing a Job via Web Services using a Server Group?

    When executing a job from Designer or from the Management Console you have the option to select a specific job server or a server group.
    But when executing a job via Web Services it uses the first job server with which the repository was associated (i.e. the first job server listed in AL_MACHINE_INFO).
    Is there a way to get the job to execute using a server group instead simply choosing the first job server in the list?
    Note: We are using FIM to execute the jobs via web services and don't have access to additional parameters.

    Joe
    Here is the where you can change the server group/job server.
    - After you add the Batch/real Time job as a webservice.
    - Go to the Webservice Batch Job Attribute and from the drop down choose the "Enable job Attributes" and hit apply.
    - After this if you use the WSDL URL http://<Data Services Web Server>:<Web server Port>/DataServices/servlet/webservices?ver=2.0&wsdlxml
    - You will see the job attributes that you can change based on the allowed parameters mentioned in the documentation.
    The batch job or real time job is published without the job parameters by default. Once you enable the job attributes, remove and re publish the batch job as a web service. The application making the call to this webservice should be able to read the WSDL generated by Data services and pickup all the input and output parameters of the method.
    Refer to the Data Services Integrator guide (Chapter 3 : pages 25 - 33 ) to get the exact parameter values permitted via Data Services jobs called via web services.
    Hope this helps!

  • Sql Server Agent Job Execution

    Hi All,
    I want to run a sql agent job (one job is execution one package) in such a way that as soon as job1 completes , it should be run again (without any time loss)
    I am folowing Below approach:
    Job 1 has 2 steps , in both the steps I am calling same package to execute . After that on Success/Failure action. I am selecting the same step.it is running in an infinite loop and continue fetching data.
    is there any dis-advantages on the above approach?
    Is there any other approach to achive the Same?
    Thanks in Advance....

    Hello,
    The two-step recursive (on success) technique should be fine.  I would just recommend the introduction of short-circuit”techniques that stops a runaway job in the event of logical issues (the “on failure” action will still catch the general error issues).
    Other patterns that are sometimes used for continual-execution requirements:
    Service Broker (for example, continually watch the queue and act on new messages)
    T-SQL home-grown job that runs in a loop and then executes the job based on some condition – and would require you to check job execution state
    For a continuously running package watching for new files in a folder, one example is detailed in the following blog post:
    Continuously watching files with WMI Event Watcher Task

  • Background Job execution enabled via pro-active monitoring

    Hi community,
    We're interested in CPS Redwood to help us in proactive monitoring of background jobs (Ad Hoc and Periodic) and impacts in system performance.
    The idea would be to have somehow a tool that monitor the number of available working process and system performance. When the system workload reaches a certain level, ex: 95%, this tool would intercept new jobs execution. After this, when the system workload goes down and the resources are free, the system would release all jobs to normal run again.
    Is it possible via CPS Redwood?
    Is there any other way to have something automatic like this?
    Thanks,
    Jose Antonio.

    Hi Jose,
    This is possible indeed using CPS. CPS can monitor various load metrics of your system, then adapt the scheduling logic if thresholds are exceeded.
    In your scenario, you would basically always intercept all jobs, but normally not enforce any limits so effectively that means all jobs still run immediately. If the load is too high, CPS would enforce a limit, so then jobs will be delayed until the load is lower again.
    Regards,
    Anton.

  • Work email field not filling in for mail enabled security groups in sharepoint

    I've recently been trying to setup alerts to send to mail enabled security groups on our sharepoint site.
    I've created universal mail enabled security groups for this purpose, and populated them with users, and then set those in the alert field, but no one is getting alerts.
    After a lot of investigation, I've found that this is likely because the security groups listed under sharepoint in the people and groups section don't have work email fields filled in. Theres a couple of groups that work which do have this field filled
    in, but everything created recently is missing this. I can't seem to set this field up to be editable instead of importing from AD either. I've confirmed the AD import is working fine, all user details and work email fields are filled out correctly, it is
    only the security groups that are having problems.
    Does anyone have any experience with this?

    As per your description I assume that individual user gets email alert, right ?
    If no then go to central administration > operation > timer job definitions > “web application” view > select your web application in the menu bar to check if Immediate alerts working fine
    If not, please run the following operations:
    stsadm -o setproperty -propertyname alerts-enabled -propertyvalue false -url http://...
     stsadm -o setproperty -propertyname alerts-enabled -propertyvalue true -url http://...
     stsadm -o setproperty -propertyname job-immediate-alerts -propertyvalue "every 5 minutes"  -url http://...
    And then try again.
     At last, if the issue is still there, please check your email server settings in terms of the following articles:

     And if individual user gets an alert then you can create cutomized alert for Sec group

  • SM36 - define default server-group

    Hi experts,
    I did define in transaction SM61 a batch-server-group.
    Now I would like, that normally all jobs get automatically schedule on this server-group.
    I mean jobs, which will be scheduled in the future.
    Is there a functionality to define a kind of default-server-group?
    Kind regards

    Hi Christian,
    From SAP note 786412
    Create a server group with the name 'SAP_DEFAULT_BTC' in transaction SM61 and assign the desired servers. As of now, the background jobs that do not have an execution goal are only executed on a (any) server that is included in the server group 'SAP_DEFAULT_BTC'.
    Note that the 'SAP_DEFAULT_BTC' server group is analyzed at the start time of a job, but not at the definition time. This applies in general to background processing server groups.
    For more information about 'Background Processing Server Groups', refer to Note 612838.
    Hope this helps.

  • Bit Locker Implementation in Windows 8.1 machine using Windows server 2008 r2 server group policy.

    is it possible to enable the bit locker only for windows 8.1 machines through windows 2008 r2 server group policy ?
    Thanx and Regards,
    Shanif

    Hi Shanif,
    Yes, we can do this.
    Regarding how to enable Bitlocker via group policy, the following article can be referred to as reference.

    http://blogs.technet.com/b/askcore/archive/2010/02/16/cannot-save-recovery-information-for-bitlocker-in-windows-7.aspx
    After configuring the settings, we can use security filtering or WMI filtering to apply the policy to specific computers.
    Regarding this point, the following blog can be referred to for more information.

  • Run_report_object in forms10g: Reports Server only accept batch jobs

    Hi all,
    We've migrated an old forms application to forms 10g R1. To run report objects from the form applications, I use the following code to run reports with a report server (10g):
    SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(l_rep_id,REPORT_FILENAME,'c:\path\to\report.rep'');
    SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(l_rep_id,REPORT_EXECUTION_MODE,BATCH);
    SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(l_rep_id,REPORT_COMM_MODE,ASYNCHRONOUS);
    SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(l_rep_id,REPORT_DESTYPE,CACHE);
    SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(l_rep_id,REPORT_DESFORMAT,'PDF');
    SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(l_rep_id,REPORT_SERVER,'repserver');
    l_rep_return := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(l_rep_id, pl_id);
    The parameter pl_id is a pre-filled parameter list, and the parameter l_rep_id is the report_object, which was added to the reports-node in the fmb.
    By running this code, the reportserver successfully executes the report and via the report server queue I can open the created PDF file.
    But, as the report_comm_mode is set to ASYNCHRONOUS, the code doesn't wait until the reportserver has finished the execution of the report, so it's impossible to show the report by web.show_document. So I've set the report_comm_mode to SYNCHRONOUS:
    SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(l_rep_id,REPORT_FILENAME,'c:\path\to\report.rep'');
    SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(l_rep_id,REPORT_EXECUTION_MODE,BATCH);
    SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(l_rep_id,REPORT_COMM_MODE,SYNCHRONOUS);
    SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(l_rep_id,REPORT_DESTYPE,CACHE);
    SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(l_rep_id,REPORT_DESFORMAT,'PDF');
    SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(l_rep_id,REPORT_SERVER,'repserver');
    l_rep_return := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(l_rep_id, pl_id);
    But when I executes this code, the execution of the report failes, and the following error code is shown in the report server queue:
    Terminated with error: REP-188: Reports Server only accept batch jobs
    But as you can see, the execution_mode is set to BATCH, so that is not the problem.
    Is there anyone who can help me to fix this problem?
    Regards,
    Jeroen

    I just sent you an e-mail, I hope it helps!

  • Error Happened at RFC Server Cannot Open the Job Batch File.

    We have BW 7.0  and Data services 12.1. We are scheduling a Infopackage in BW that triggers a job in Dataservices server.
    We had checked the connection between Dataservices source system in BW and RFC server on Dataservices side and these connections are good. on the 3rd party sellections tab in infopackage we specify the batch file name that we exported in Dataservices server. When we execute the infopackage we get the following error.
    Error Happened at RFC Server Cannot Open the Job Batch File.
    This error started occuring from yesterday and prior to that it was working fine. We are not understanding what changed in the system to cause this error.
    Can anyone suggest any solutions for the above issue.
    Thanks,
    Naveen.

    I'm not sure what the root cause would be here. Is the file still available ? Did file permissions change ? ...
    But I wanted to point your attention to the fact that in Data Services/Data Integrator XI 3.2 (=12.2) we significantly enhanced the integration with BW. In XI 3.2, the RFC server is now integrated into the Data Services Management Console (so no need to start as a seperate executable) and you can start jobs from BW by just specifting the job's name in the repo (no need anymore to export execution commands to .bat files). So if upgrading to XI 3.2 is an option, things should go much smoother.

  • How to setup "Server Groups" in RSPC (process chains)?

    I'm a BASIS person working with our BI group on setting up their loads to only run on the application servers.  If you don't define a host in RSPC, it will always run on the database server.  We don't want to specific one host in case that server has issues.  How can we setup the "server group" so we can use all our application servers for these process chains.  It doesn't seem to use the SMLG logon groups we defined already.
    Thanks in advance!

    I have setup the load balancing in the RFC, but for these jobs that are submitted via RSPC, they don't look at the SMLG parameters, they just always pick the database server.  We can specify one host (other than the database server) in RSPC similar to SM36, but we were trying not to do that so in case that server is down, these jobs wouldn't fail. 
    I thought we could setup a "server group" and assign our 3 application server to them that way they would never fail if one is unavailable and it would keep them off the database server.

  • Server Side Trust - Server Group

    Hi,
    One of the steps to create publications / server side trust (as per SAP Press BO and BW Integ book) is to create a Server Group and add certain services to it. It says that the Destination and Publication Job Server should be added. I dont have them - will that be a problem?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    They dont seem to exist so I am guessing I will have to create them myself?
    Could you or someone please confirm that the following selections should be made when creating the servers:
    DESTINATION JOB SERVER - Service Category: Core Services, Service: Destination Delivery Scheduling Service
    PUBLICATION JOB SERVER - Service Category: Core Services, Service: Publication Scheduling Service
    Also, do I need to include any of the additional services when creating the servers?
    Many Thanks
