Failover of 9iAS Server for Portal

Hi,
We executed the steps in the article 'Accessing Portal from multiple sites'.
This is to let the 2 9iAS use the same database. However, we found that if
the primary 9iAS domain is down, the second 9iAS domain still tries to retrieve the
login page from the primary domain, which results in page not found.
Is there a solution for 9iAS failover for Portal ?

This can be done. You need to import the portal/identity server's schema into your new directory server and then export your existing directory server's content and import it into the new one.

  • Change Directory server for Portal Server 6.2

    Hi there,
    I have the following problem with Portal Server 6.2 configuration which hopefully someone here will be able to help me with.
    Basically our current setup is the Sun Portal Server 6.2, ID server 6.1 and Directory server all sitting on one (Solaris 9) box. We now wish to separate the Portal / ID server components and the Directory Server component to separate boxes. In portal server 6.0 i think there was a pssetup tool which allowed configuration of a directory server which populated it with the necessary data for portal and ID server. The directory server we will be installing to will not necessarily be a clean install, i.e. it may already be populated with data.
    Is there some way therefore to re-configure the existing directory server to allow us to point our portal / ID server at it?
    Thanks in advance for any help

  • Content server for Portal.

    Hallo, experts!
    Could you please tell where can I find  any information how to make content server work with bi documents that are placed on the portal.  on may be some steps to do this?
    Thanks!

    Portal atached to ABAP system. this system is using Content server for keeping the documents
    You can work with that repository as long as you are using the portal as a frontend for the backend system but not to store content created in the portal itself.
    my wish is to put document in content server, after I created it in portal
    Then I think KM is what you are looking for as mentioned by Markus.

  • The same KM repository (File Server) for Portal DEV and Portal PRD

    Hello,
    I want to know if it is possible to configure in two different portals, one repository in each Portal Server making reference to the same File Server Folder. It's possible?
    Regards
    SU

    Hi SU,
    It is possible but I would recommend read only access to the files.  A FS repository can becomes inconsistent if the file system files are changed outside of the portal.  You can run "CM Repository File System Check" to fix inconsistencies but why risk it?

  • Help, need to change IP address on host database for Portal

    Hi folks,
    Rather urgent assistance (as usual) needed. I have an installation working correctly on a pair of Win2k machines, one as the 9i database, one as the 9iAS/Portal. The app server has 2 NIC cards, one with public IP address (which is ok), one on the LAN. I need to reconfigure the LAN addresses on both the machines. Initial Portal install done without DNS, i.e. actual server/host addresses entered in the configuration.
    I have tried changing all of the TNS/Listner settings and the NIC card IP addresses and restarting the machines. The likes of SQLPlus work ok, with the TNS connect name allowing over the LAN access into the database with the new LAN addresses. I cannot seem to get the 9iAS/Portal to find the repository with the new addresses.
    Can someone help please? I can't find the answer in any documentation or other postings.
    Thanks in advance

    There are other modes of operation for the plasst as well. I am listing them below but the formatting will make it difficult to read. If you like I can email it to you.

    Configuring Portal when the HTTP server host name of the Infrastructure is changed
    Run the following from the $ORACLE_HOME/assistants/opca dir
    ptlasst.bat -mode SSOPARTNERCONFIG -i typical -sdad portal -host myApache.domain.com -port 7777 -silent -verbose
    NOTE:
    (1) This command would create a new Portal partner application in the SSO to reflect the changes of the Infrastructure. Before running this command please ensure to configure the SSO with the correct hostname by running the ssocfg.bat script located in the Infrastructure install (<infra_home>\sso\bin).
    The value for -host parameter will be the IP address of the infrastructure server and -port will be the port where the infrastructure http server is running on.
    Configuring Portal when the HTTP server host name of the Middle tier is changed
    ptlasst.bat -mode MIDTIER -i typical -host myApache.domain.com -port 7777 -ldap_h myOID.domain.com -ldap_p 389 -ldap_w welcome -pwd secret123 -portal_only -oh /home/oracle -chost myHostname.domain.com -cport_i 8001 -cport_a 8000 -wc_i_pwd invalidator -mc false -mi true -silent -verbose
    NOTE :
    (1) The -host value should match the serverName value of the httpd.conf
    (2) The -chost should be updated with the correct webcache hostname. In a default iAS midtier install the -host is same as the -chost.
    The value for -host parameter will be the IP address of the midtier(portal) server and -port will be the port where the portal is running on.
    Parameter Description Default Value Mandatory

  • Setting up Access Manager and Directory Server for Failover.

    I'm setting up 2 Access Managers AM1,AM2 and 2 Directory Servers DS1 and DS2 for failover. I've connected AM1 and AM2 to DS1. Suffixes of DS1 is replicated to DS2. Any change made to AM1 is replicated to AM2 as expected. I just patched AM1 with Access Manager patch 1 and the version information for AM1 shows 7.1 126359-01. I followed the same procedure to patch AM2 but AM2 still shows ver 7.1.
    How do I make sure both Access Managers are patched to the same version?
    I'm able to authenticate to one IIS6 site and authentication is passed on to Outlook Web Access on AM1 but when I shut down AM1 to test failover to AM2 OWA prompts me again for password. How do I resolve this?
    On AM1 http://host.domain/amserver/UI/Login?realm=sso successfully logs in but the same on AM2 gives Warning that "You have already logged in. Do you want to log out and then login to a different organization?"
    Please help !!!

    I'll answer what bits I can:
    Q: AM showing the same version?
    A: No idea on this one. I would have expected the operation you described to have produced the right answer. Check that neither your application server nor your web browser are caching old pages (ctrl-F5 in my browser)
    Q: How do I resolve re-authentication on failover?
    A: The AM documentation includes a deployment example that covers pretty closely what it is you are trying to achieve:
    http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-2278
    Specifically, the problem you are describing is related to session failover. The sessions are stored in a local DB so when you failover the backup server does not store the same information and hence requires a reauthentication. The section of the above doc that deals with this is here:
    http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-2278/gdsre?l=en&a=view
    Q: "You have already logged in" warning
    A: No idea. Sorry.

  • Single directory Server for Messaging and Portal

    We are trying to unify our directory services.
    At present, there two directory servers, one for iPlanet messaging 5.2 and another for Portal server 6.0.
    Messaging's Directory server is v5.1 and Portal's Directory server is v5.2. Their BaseDN is same.
    Now, What we are planning to do is as below.
    1. LDIF everything from Msgr Directory and import into Portal's Directory.
    2. Point Msg Server to the Portal's directory.
    But, we are not sure what to export or how to tell messaging server to look at the Portal's Directory. Any help will be greatly appreciated!!!
    Thanks
    Srini

    What you are trying to do is non-trivial.
    Setting the ldap server for user and groups on the mail server is easy enough -- look at the output of configutil and you will find the values of local.ugldap*
    define the values you need to change.
    e.g.:
    local.ugldapbasedn
    local.ugldapbindcred
    local.ugldapbinddn
    local.ugldaphost
    local.ugldapport
    etc.
    These are all listed in the messaging reference manual.
    You need to ensure that the schemas of the two apps. match. For example, if you are using schema 1 for mail and schema 2 for the portal (quite likely), there will be a lot more work to do on the directory than simply moving the user entries accross and merging them.
    Unless you have done this sort of thing before, or feel very comfortable and knowlegable about how the messaging server in partuicular works with LDAP, I would suggest that you seriously consider getting help from Sun Professonal Services.

  • Server for NFS deletes the partially copied file after failover

    Hello, 
    I found the strange behaviour in Server for NFS in the microsoft foc cluster. 
    I have a foc cluster of two nodes(windows server 2k12r2) and server for nfs role is installed on both. now I did mount the export from the client(windows server 2k12r2) where client for nfs role is installed;
    and a large file copying from the clients local drive to the mounted export is started.
    Now during this copying operation I did switch the export to second node(moved it using the failover cluster manager wizard). and what I found is the copying interrupts with
    error message "there is problem accessing file path" and on retry the copying starts all over again, I mean if the 50% was copied previously then
    after retry it will start from 0%.
    I watched the system events on second node with the "procmon" and I found; after the disk gets attached to the second node, the delete operation is get called for this file.
    Now what I need to know is why this delete is been called and who made this called. In the stack of the delete operation I could track the nfssvr.sys but not sure what attributes of that file made it to call the
    delete. 

    Hi,
    It takes us some time to create a failover cluster for testing.
    We tried to copy a large folder which contains many files, and a large VHD file we created.
    The result is the same - it will not restart the copy after failover. Thus as you said it is not caused by design and it should be an issue on your side which causes a Delete and redo the copy.
    Is there any application or specific network settings could terminate a disconnected copy process? Currently I do not have much information about this. 
    Edit: I noticed that it is NFS share and in our test we are using SMB share. Will do the test again to see if any difference.
