Essbase 64bit VM Server and performance with calcs

Hello,
I have an issue with my Essbase server running on Win 2003 Server 64 bit VM and performance with calcs. I like to apply the changes as in Essbase DBAG guide on page 827 for 64 bit related to agentthreads and serverthreads. Has anyone experienced this before ? Did changing the values in essbase.cfg file worked.
Thanks,
Azmat Bhatti

Hi John,
I have spoken to our VM Admin and he has told me that he has given our servers high performance on the SAN storage. The issue is that we see quite high page faults under the task manager when the calcs are running. We have 9 Planning/Essbase apps running. I am also playing with the cache setting in essbase.cfg file.
This is what i have right now:
CALCLOCKBLOCKHIGH 1500
CALCLOCKBLOCKDEFAULT 1000
CALCLOCKBLOCKLOW 100
CALCCACHEHIGH 1000000
CALCCACHEDEFAULT 300000
CALCCACHELOW 200000
Any suggestions ?
Thanks,
Azmat Bhatti

Front-end HTTP Server and Performance with .jspx pages?

This is more of a general question that I'm looking for validation:
If the majority of our website is implemented as .jspx pages, with very few straight HTML pages, is there benefit in deploying to an environment with a separate HTTP front-end web server and back-end Application server (java container)? For example, I'm deploying to Tomcat as both the HTTP server and Java Application server for the .jspx pages; is there a performance advantage in deploying to an Apache HTTP server with a connector to Tomcat if I'm primarily serving up .jspx pages? I'm not as familiar with Oracle AS architecture, so my question is primarily around Tomcat deployment.
thanks

Application Server and performance with Attached Libraries

We are moving toward Forms 9i and 9iAS.
I have common SQL code that should be accessed from many Forms and considering
between creating Database Packages and Oracle Forms Packages as Attached
Libraries.
Have been told that they both operate differently with the Forms PL/SQL packages
loaded 'thinly' (only the components being called and also in 4k memory size).
So there is an argument to go for Forms Package as opposed to Database packages
this way!.
Obviously the Forms package will be loaded somewhere in a Run Forms session, but
does this means other Oracle Forms programs can access the loaded program unit.
Let me say user A running Forms A has an attached library which is also accessed
by user B running Forms B but trying to access the same program unit in the same
attached library.
Would the 9iAS recognise this and load only one copy, assuming user A started
first and hasnt closed his/her session while user B starts Forms B soon after?

You should probably ask this on the Forms discussion forum.
http://www.oracle.com/technology/discussionforums/forms.html
But in general Forms on the Web share objects in the memory on the application server - including plls.

Snapshot a server and compare with gold standard server

Hello,
Within SCCM 2012 R2, I am trying to see if i can compare my target server with a master server (like a gold standard server) and understand whats missing or different (could be configuration files missing or services or even a particular parameter missing
from a config file) between the two servers for auditing purpose and then perform remediation via a package deployment or something else.
a] So far, I do not see any options like to compare a file between two servers or compare a server to another server. Is it possible to this in SCCM?
b] Also, as part of (a) I would like to take a snapshot a running server and use that as my 'gold standard' for future comparisons as part of auditing. I'm not referring to 'snapshot' within a hypervisor but a snapshot capability within SCCM on a file or
on a server. Is it possible?
thanks

You have to understand the compliance management in ConfigMgr first.
You do configuration items which can be basically anything, scripts that check something, registry entries etc. and after you've done your items you combine them in to a
baseline. After this, you deploy the baseline to your collection of systems that you want to check / remediate the settings you've configured.
There's no way to check if server A is like server B, because there are so many different variables / settings in place. You have to know what to check so that ConfigMgr can do the check for you.

High availability for file server and exchange with 2 physical servers

Dear Experts,
I have 2 physical server with local disks only. I want to setup below on same with high availability, please advise best prossible options. We will be using windows 2012 R2 Server..
1. Domain controller
2. Exchange 2013
As of now I am thinking of setting up below:
1. Install Hyper-v on both and create 3 VM on each as
-On Host A- 1 VM for DC, 1 VM for File server with DFS namespace and replication for file server HA and 1 VM for Exchange 2013 with CAS/MBX with DAG and DNS RR for Exchange HA
-On Host B - 1 VM for ADC, 1 VM for File server DFS member for above and 1 VM for Exchange 2013 CAS/MBX with DAG member
I have read on internet about new features called scale out file server (SoFS) in Windows 2012 Server but not sure that will be preferred for file sharing.
Any advise will be highly appreciated..
Thanks for the help in advance..
Best regards,

Best regards,
DFS is by far the best way to implement any sort of file server. Because a) failover is not fully transparent and does not happen always (say not on copy ) b) DFS cannot replicate open files so if you edit a big file and have node rebooted you're going to
lose ALL transactions/updates you've applied c) actually slows down the config. See:
DFS for failover
http://help.globalscape.com/help/wafs3/using_microsoft_dfs_for_failover.htm
DFS FAQ

(check "open files" point here)
DFS Performance
http://blogs.technet.com/b/filecab/archive/2009/08/22/windows-server-dfs-namespaces-performance-and-scalability.aspx
SoFS a) requires shared storage to run and you don't have one b) does not support generic workloads
(only Hyper-V and SQL Server) and c) technically makes sense to expand SAS JBOD or existing FC SAN to numerous Hyper-V clients over 10 GbE w/o need to invest money into SAS switches and HBAs and FC HBAs and new licenses FC ports. Making long story short:
SoFS is NOT YOUR CASE.

http://www.aidanfinn.com/?p=12786
For now you need to find some shared storage to be a back end for your hypevisor config (SAS JBOD from supported list, virtual SAN from multiple vendors like for example StarWind see below, make sure you review ALL the vendors) and then you create a failover
SMB 3.0 share for your file server workload. See:

For Exchange you use SMB share from above for a file share witness and use DAG. See:

How to set up a FTP and web server and integrate with DMM 5.2

Hi All ...
I need to set up a external server only for content publishing to reduce the overhead of the DMM server .
can anyone guide me on how to set up the external server and intergrate it with the DMM 5.2
Thanks

semuthu,
Notes from the Release Notes:
Compatibility Limitations with Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS)
DMPs that use firmware release 5.2 are compatible with only one version of Microsoft Internet Information Server.
That supported version is IIS 6.0 for Windows 2003 Enterprise. If you do not have the supported IIS version but
want your DMPs to retrieve assets from a webserver, we recommend that you use Apache instead of IIS.
I would suggest using Apache instead of IIS for the webserver service. IIS can be used as FTP if needed.
There are plenty of Documents on the Web about setting up Apache and FTP for servers.

B1 and SQL Server 2005 performance with 3.000.000 invoice-lines per year

I would like to know if SAP Business One with SQL Server 2005 could work with the following information:
- 40.000 Business Partners
- 40.000 Invoices per month
- Aprox. 3.000.000 invoice-lines per year
Of course it will be necessary to change some forms in B1.
What do you think?
Do you know any B1 customer working with that amout of data?

> Hi,
>
> I think a good SQL2005 tuning (done by a good DBA)
> will improve performance. Number of records like that
> shouldn't hurt that kind of DB engine...
Hi,
I'm sure that MSSQL2005 can handle the amount of records & transactions in question. Even MSSQL 2000 can do it. However, any DB engine can be put on its knees with the combination of 2-tier application architecture and badly designed queries. B1 is a case in point. I wouldn't go into such a project without decent preliminary load testing and explicit commitment for support from SAP B1 dev team.
I have heard from implementation projects where B1 simply couldn't handle the amount of data. I've also participated in some presales cases for B1 where we decided not to take a project because we saw that B1 couldn't handle the amount of data (while the other features of B1 would have been more than enough for the customer). The one you're currently looking at seems like one of those.

Essbase 9.3.1 and problem with LDAP users

Essbase 9.3.1 users externalized to Shared Services. Windows boxes. LDAP users set in Shared users. Provisioned with Essbase rights (administration and speciific cube access). Then in EAS have refreshed security from Shared Services. LDAP users show up now in EAS.
However when attempting to connect through excel add-in or through EAS or through Financial reports to any Essbase app receving and error message that "login fails due to invalid credentials".
Users setup in Shared services as Native Users are able to access Essbase apps.
any ideas?

It came down to a Novell E Directory LDAP setting. ID Attribute. We had it set to CN (based on a recommendation by a LDAP resource, although the default is GUID and GUID is recommended by the documentation).
Turns out that Essbase when authenticating the LDAP user was forcing it back to GUID and causing some sort of mismatch.
Setting the ID Attribute in the LDAP Configuration back to GUID resolved the issue.

Shutdown of the server and problems with some reports

Hello,
A fatal shutdown of the ERP server arrived. Now we have some errors and dumps for some transactions.
Dumps examples :
A RAISE statement in the program "CL_GUI_ALV_TREE===============CP" raised the
exception
condition "DP_ERROR".
Since the exception was not intercepted by a superior
program, processing was terminated.
Short description of exception condition:
A RAISE statement in the program "CL_GUI_HTML_VIEWER============CP" raised the
exception
condition "CNTL_ERROR".
How we can resolve these errors ? Kernel problems or other ideas ?
Thanks a lot
Rewards given.
Regards,

Hi
Checkout for SAP notes with the Dump error such as DP_ERROR and the transaction for which dump occerred, you will get more relevant information, as program error could not be just interpreted looking at the dump.
Still if you are unable to find the reason, raising a message with SAP would be advisable.

Windows 2012 storage server and tier with external SSD disks

Short answer: No, not automatically. Long answer: Yes, it can be done but with some tricks. First you'll have to make your SAN export LUs built from flash and from spindles. At least one of each (see URL below). Then you'll have to build storage spaces (even
clustered but that's not officially supported for non-SAS disks) from them.
See:
Configure Tiering with Windows Server 2012 R2
http://blogs.technet.com/b/askpfeplat/archive/2013/10/21/storage-spaces-how-to-configure-storage-tiers-with-windows-server-2012-r2.aspx
Both LUs would have non-SSD type reported so you'll have manually assign types with PowerShell what's flash and what's spindle.
"Notice that the SSD devices were detected as SSD media. However, in this case the physical drives show as unknown.
If yours are not detected like in this example, they should be set correctly which can be done using PowerShell. "
Hope this helped :)

Recently decomissioned old SCCM 2007 server and replaced with 2012 R2- How do I point everything to the new SCCM server?

I've tried many things that I've found in articles. Gone as far as ADSI edit. Not sure what else I can do. The old server was setup by someone else and never really worked correctly. I'd basically like to start fresh with this new install.
Thanks
James A+, Network+, MCP

Follow my R2 install guide to get your site up.
http://sccmentor.wordpress.com/2014/01/08/sccm-2012-r2-step-by-step-installation-guide/
You won't need to extend the schema if this has already been done for the 2k7 site. The System Management container could already exist. If so add in permissions for the new site server. If not create and follow the guide. Once done set up your boundaries
and discovery methods accordingly. Once you start to populate the console with clients then installing the client will remove the old 2k7 client (if it was installed) as part of the 2012 client install.

Running SSIS Package from another server and performance

I've built an SSIS package that integrates data from one SQL Server 2008 database to another SQL Server 2008 database. However, since I needed to leverage some SSIS 2012 components, I've installed the package on another SQL Server 2012 in the network.
Is there a performance hit (positive or negative) if I run a SSIS package on a SQL Server that isn't the source or destination server?

Hi,
we cannot tell for sure. It depends on so many things, amount of data to be transferred, processing needs to be done, overall capacity of the server, workloads that can be handleld by the servers, etc. The mos important aspect but nt the only one is the
amount of data to be access / tranformed / processed / transmitted to the destination.
This is a typical case for a test done representative amount of data in a load test on your side.

Essbase Server and Deployment Server on different boxes

Hi,We're currently testing Hyperion Essbase 7.1.2 and we were wondering if it was possible to have the Essbase (Analytic) Server on one machine and Deployment Server on a different one. At first sight, it seemed so, so we did just that.Now, we'd like to test our setup by signing on through the ESS command line prompt (on the Deployment Server machine) but seem to miss something since the connection ("signon") is refused. The funny thing is that on the machine on which the Essbase Server is installed, we've also installed the Administration Services: through the Administration Console, we can indeed connect to the Deployment Server and interact with it.So my first question is: is our setup possible (that is, having the Deployment and Essbase servers on distinct boxes)?If so, what is the meaning of all the parameters needed for the "signon" command of the ESS command line prompt?Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.Thanks,A. Lepage

Yes, you can configure it that way and we have many customers with that setup.You have to login to the EDS console the first time using the 'default' admin username/password (system/password) and setup a username, with admin privileges, that also is on your Essbase server. Logout, then login with the 'real' username. Select the domain object ('essbase at the top of the tree'), right mouse click and add an analytic server. Type in the name of your Essbase server and it should be added (and you should be able to browse objects on the Essbase server). Finally, select the server, right mouse click and 'sync security'.Tim TowApplied OLAP, Inc

Sync iPhone with work Outlook (Exchange Server) and home Outlook

Hi all,
I love my new iPhone 3G!
There is just one main thing remaining that I need it to do in order to fully replace my previous Windows Mobile phone functionality:
I need it to keep my work Outlook's contacts and calendars synchronized with my home Outlook (Outlook 2003 on Windows XP PC). Note: I do not want separate sets of work and personal contacts and/or calendar items, since I want all contacts and calendar items in both systems (differentiate by the Outlook category field).
With my previous Windows Mobile phone, it would sync with my work Exchange account (via wireless ActiveSync), and then resolve this with my local/home PC's Outlook when connected to my PC (using the local version of ActiveSync). When done, any contact or calendar change made at work, on my phone, or on my home PC would eventually be synchronized with all 3 systems (i.e., phone, work Outlook, and home Outlook).
The new iPhone 3G first beautifully sync'd to my local/home Outlook with iTunes 7.7. Then, when I configured my work Exchange ActiveSync with contacts and calendar sync on, it unfortunately cleared those sync'd items. Now the iPhone is beautifully sync'd with my work Outlook via Exchange ActiveSync, but iTunes will no longer allow my local sync. Thus, any changes at work or on the iPhone are not reflected at home
I researched this a little, and I see that the Apple MobileMe service may be able to help me. Can anyone tell me if it will allow me to sync the exact same items with my local Outlook, the iPhone, and directly/indirectly with my work Outlook (via Exchange ActiveSync)?
Thanks in advance,
Steve

I'm excited to finally sync my work email with my iPhone. Our IT didn't support it and we work off of an Exchange server. I, too, was nervous about which contacts to sync. While I want my work email, I don't need my contacts and would rather have mine from my mac at home. Unfortunately, you can only do one at a time. The following paragraph is from a c net review. Find the entire article here (the part about the Exchange Server is about 1/2 way down):
http://reviews.cnet.com/apple-iphone-3g/
//Once you're ready to go, the iPhone will sync your Outlook e-mail, contacts, and calendar. Be advised that while the iPhone can support multiple POP3 accounts at once (two Yahoo accounts, for instance), it syncs with only one Exchange server and, worse, with only with one calendar or contacts list at a time. If you have a separate personal calendar, your work calendar will replace it once you start the sync. (You'll be notified before it happens.)//
Hope this helps!
