Failover portal site and replication

I am about to build our failover portal site, and would like to have some feedback from the one of you that already implemented this. I currently have a ALUI 6.1 on a .NET platform, using sql server, content, collaboration, studio and process servers.
Any tips and recommendations are greatly appreciated.

Replication with Domain and Sub domain in Active directory sites and services

I seen many AD enviroments and know that when you have mutiple DCs you use Active Directory Sites and services to replicate using the NTDS Settings. If you have a Domain and sub domain do you need to do this as well or does it sync up automatically because
it's a sub domain? A see a couple of domains where the NTDS settings isn't being used to snyc with the child domain. Just wondering if that is normal or will it cause authentication errors?

Two way transitive trusts are configured automatically when you create a child domain or tree root domain. You don't have to worry about site/subnet or replication part at least from trust perspective. But make sure site's names are unique in each domain.

Removing a site and disabling replications .

Hi,
I want to remove a branch site from from Active Directory Sites and Services in 2008 R2 (Main DC) is there a procedure to remove by or can it be done by selecting delete manually please let me know.

Yes you can remove a site simply by highlighting it and selecting delete. The above poster assumed you had a server in that site that you had to forcibly remove as it was not contactable.
Correct its not on the same site well if i do selecting delete whether i have to start by selecting from NTDS because it does includes SUBNET, INTER-SITE TRANSPORT and the BRANCH SITE configurations, technically is it correct by selecting the Branch-Site
and deleting altogether or is there is a procedure to do accordingly. please let me know.

Broker/Cluster Message Persistence and Replication

I am evaluating the Sun JMS MQ implementation and I am trying to determine if messages sent to a Broker within a Cluster are replicated to different Brokers and as such the different Brokers' persistence message stores?
I what a HA solution that has no single point of failure within a site (and ultimately across sites, but let's focus on a single site to start with). I need the replication to ensure that if Broker-A goes down the message is still available and can be consumed via Broker-B; and not relying on Broker-A being restarted.
There is a statement within the Technical Overview document that might suggest that what I am looking for is not possible. It says...
"Note that broker clusters provide service availability but not data availability. If one broker in a cluster fails, clients connected to that broker can reconnect to another broker in the cluster but may lose some data while they are reconnected to the alternate broker."
If I am not asking to much already any cases studies, blue prints etc. would be nice. But simple answers to this question will also get my deep thanks.
Regards
Paul

"Note that broker clusters provide service
availability but not data availability. If one broker
in a cluster fails, clients connected to that broker
can reconnect to another broker in the cluster but
may lose some data while they are reconnected to the
alternate broker."Yes, that's clustering. Messages are stored-and-forwarded. If the broker where the message is stored goes down, it is not available until the broker restarts.
What you are looking for is high availability where messages from the active instance are synchronously replicated to a standby instance. In the failover case the JMS clients tranparently reconnect and operation continues.
I don't know if Sun IMQ provides that but I do know that SwiftMQ does that very well:

What's the difference between a web site and a web application?

I'm stumped trying to come up to a difference between a web site and a web application for myself. As I see it, a web site points to a specific page and a web application is more of some sort of 'portal' to content and information.
But where I'm stuck is that a web application is still viewed through a browser (is it not?) and a web site can still view content dynamically, making the line between web site and application prety gray.
For instance, does a web site using ASP.NET or AJAX (I assume ASP.NET is AJAX's proprietary sibling, if not, ignore ASP.NET AND concentrate on the AJAX), becomes a web application because it can retrieve data dynamically and asynchronously or would a website
using PHP and a CMS be more of a web application because it forms the pages on request, based on the request of the client and its content in its databse?
Or maybe I'm totally wrong here - what differenciates between a web application and a website?

This is totally personal and subjective, but I'd say that a website is defined by its content, while a webapplication is
defined by its interaction with the user. That is, a website can plausibly consist of a static content repository that's dealt out to all visitors, while a web application depends on interaction and requires programmatic user input and data processing.
For example, a news site would be a "website", but a spreadsheet or a collaborative calendar would be web "applications". The news site shows essentially the same information to all visitors, while the calendar processes individual data.
Practically, most websites with quickly changing content will also rely on a sophisticated programmatic (and/or database) backend, but at least in principle they're only defined by their output. The web application on the other hand is essentially a program that
runs remotely, and it depends fundamentally on a processing and a data storage backend.

There is no real "difference". Web site is a more anachronistic term that exists from the early days of
the internet where the notion of a dynamic application that can respond to user input was much more limited and much less common. Commercial websites started out largely as interactive brochures (with the notable exception of hotel/airline reservation sites).
Over time their functionality (and the supporting technologies) became more and more responsive and the line between an application that you install on your computer and one that exists in the cloud became more and more blurred.
If you're just looking to express yourself clearly when speaking about what you're building, I would continue to describe something that is an interactive brochure or business card as a "web site" and something that actually *does something that feels
more like an application as a web app.
The most basic distinction would be if a website has a supporting database that stores user data and modifies what the user sees based on some user specified criteria, then it's probably an app of some sort (although I would be reluctant to describe Amazon.com
as a web app, even though it has a lot of very user-specific functionality). If, on the other hand, it is mostly static .html files that link to one another, I would call that a web site.
Most often, these days, a web app will have a large portion of its functionality written in something that runs on the client (doing much of the processing in either javascript or actionscript, depending on how its implemented) and reaches back through some
http process to the server for supporting data. The user doesn't move from page to page as much and experiences whatever they're going to experience on a single "page" that creates the app experience for them.

Try restarting "MSexchange-Transport-sevice" on both servers as well
Can you send email one-way or
both ways not working?

Database Mirroring and Replication in SQL Server 2008 R2

I have configured the mirroring and replication between 4 servers (A,B,C,D).i.e, Mirroring between A to B and C to D, Replication between A and C. The configuration was a success and I am able test the replication(B to C) when I have failed over the mirroring
dbs(A to B). The replication works fine after the mirroring fail over but I am not able to check its status in the Replication monitor. When I am having any insert in a table which is replicated in B, it is reflected back to C..it means the replication is
working fine.
Any thought on how I can view the status of replication from mirrored server. I tried adding the publisher in the monitor, but no luck. If I check the snapshot agent status, it says could not retrieve the info, same with the log reader agent status.
Any suggestions on this please.
Thanks, Siri

For example in your case...
Server A is principal and Server B is Mirror with either Manual or Automatic Failover.
Server A is replicated to Server B ( publisher & B is subscriber )
In Server A Database named Test_Mirror_Replication is configured for both mirroring and Replication.
Now you have failed over your Database 'Test_Mirror_Replication' from Server A to Server B.
After the Failover Server A will act as Mirror for DB 'Test_Mirror_Replication' & Server B will act as Principal for DB 'Test_Mirror_Replication'
Hope my understanding is correct ?
If yes then have you tried monitoring the replication after registering in other instance with current principal database sql instance name ? I mean current Publisher database name sql instance ? not your old sql instance name which was before the mirroring
role change or failover...
Hope you are trying with mirror database server name ?

Asking for login details jumping from BW to SS report at Portal site

Hi Guys
Our BW reports are avilable from protal for user's.
Now the issue we are facing is when we jump from BW report to source system(SRM) report, it is aksing for login details for source system. where as at portal site it should not ask for login deatils. And we are facing this issue only in QA system and not PRD system.
M not sure where things are going wrong. I have checked SSO. nothing seems to be wrong here also.
Thanks & Regards,
Rohini

Hi Rohini,
I may not be correct. But does the user id which you are using (both in QA & Prod) have same settings for User-Type (<i>SU01 -> Logon Data -> User Type</i>). ?
Also u can check the RFC Settings (SM59).
Hope it would help..

New Domain Controller does not show in our different site's Domain controller's Sites and Services

Hi,
we have two sites in our AD environment. OMA site and NY site. we have three domain controllers in our OMA site and two domain controllers in our NY site. All our DCs are windows server 2008R2 except one in our OMA site that is 2003R2 the domain
functional level is also 2003R2.
We decided to raise our functional level to 2008R2. I added a new domain controller in our OMA site and transferred all FESMOS from the DC that was running 2003R2 to this new domain controller.
the issue now is that our NY site does not make any connection with the new domain controller in OMA site. it does not even show it under sites and services. I have checked the DNS settings and everything. if you try to replicate the connections
from NY site it gives the following error: "The naming context is in the process of being removed or is not replicated from the specific server."
can anyone plz tell me why this is happening mt brain is just frozen at this moment and cant figure out why is this happening

Just noticed this replication issue has been going on for a while now but we never noticed until I added new DC. here is the error log for the NY site DC.
Log Name:      Directory Service
Source:        Microsoft-Windows-ActiveDirectory_DomainService
Date:          1/4/2014 8:11:40 AM

Computer:      NORDC1.vertrue.com
Description:
It has been too long since this machine last replicated with the named source machine. The time between replications with this source has exceeded the tombstone lifetime. Replication has been stopped with this source.
The reason that replication is not allowed to continue is that the two DCs may contain lingering objects. Objects that have been deleted and garbage collected from an Active Directory Domain Services partition but still exist in the writable partitions
of other DCs in the same domain, or read-only partitions of global catalog servers in other domains in the forest are known as "lingering objects". If the local destination DC was allowed to replicate with the source DC, these potential lingering object
would be recreated in the local Active Directory Domain Services database.
Time of last successful replication:
2013-05-16 15:26:38
Invocation ID of source directory server:
9236ac56-d046-4632-b072-acbe823c5f6c
Name of source directory server:
accde843-11b2-476c-9783-9b29252d0ba5._msdcs.vertrue.com
Tombstone lifetime (days):
90
The replication operation has failed.
User Action:
The action plan to recover from this error can be found at
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=314282.
If both the source and destination DCs are Windows Server 2003 DCs, then install the support tools included on the installation CD. To see which objects would be deleted without actually performing the deletion run "repadmin /removelingeringobjects
<Source DC> <Destination DC DSA GUID> <NC> /ADVISORY_MODE". The eventlogs on the source DC will enumerate all lingering objects. To remove lingering objects from a source domain controller run "repadmin /removelingeringobjects <Source
DC> <Destination DC DSA GUID> <NC>".
If either source or destination DC is a Windows 2000 Server DC, then more information on how to remove lingering objects on the source DC can be found at
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=314282 or from your Microsoft support personnel.
If you need Active Directory Domain Services replication to function immediately at all costs and don't have time to remove lingering objects, enable replication by setting the following registry key to a non-zero value:
Registry Key:
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\NTDS\Parameters\Allow Replication With Divergent and Corrupt Partner
Replication errors between DCs sharing a common partition can prevent user and compter acounts, trust relationships, their passwords, security groups, security group memberships and other Active Directory Domain Services configuration data to vary between
DCs, affecting the ability to log on, find objects of interest and perform other critical operations. These inconsistencies are resolved once replication errors are resolved. DCs that fail to inbound replicate deleted objects within tombstone lifetime
number of days will remain inconsistent until lingering objects are manually removed by an administrator from each local DC. Additionally, replication may continue to be blocked after this registry key is set, depending on whether lingering objects are
located immediately.
Alternate User Action:
Force demote or reinstall the DC(s) that were disconnected.

Usage of manual tasks URLs in a third-party portal site

Hello experts,
a prestigious customer is evaluating Oracle BPM and one of its requirements is the capability of posting the application URLs of the developed manual task based processes (started by an initiator human task activity) on its internal, non-Oracle portal site. Effectively, they would like to replicate the items of the BPM workspace top left pane menu, so they can be launched from a separate html page the desired processes in a pop-up window fashion.
Has anybody tried this kind of setup before ? By the time that the internal Portal site has its own authentication mechanism, it would be also acceptable to produce the Oracle BPM workspace login screen and then, if user is authenticated, to display the appropriate initiator human task page.
Many thanks in advance,
Serafeim.

Can I replicate to a off-site DR Hyper-V site and ASR?

Hi,
I've had a troll around the various sites but I can find a definitive answer.
Am I correct in saying that I can only replicate to one location i.e. offsite DR Hyper-V server OR Azure Site Recovery?
Rob

Thanks for the replies. To confirm that I am using Windows Server 2012R2 and I am using the Hyper-V Manager to manage the replication. I've set up replication to a DR site and that is working perfectly. The bit I seem to be missing is the
next step. If I try and extend the replica I don't get any Azure options? I just get the option to browse the network. Do I have to do something here or am I not seeing the right screen? if someone has a screenshot of the screen I should be seeing that
would be very useful.
Cheers
Rob

Oracle Text and Replication

We need to use an Oracle Text index on an application table in a read-only materialised-view replicated environment. The Oracle Text index needs to exist at both the master site and the materialised-view site.
We see two possible alternatives:
(1) Replicate read-only copies of the Oracle Text Index tables and indexes to the materialised view site, in addition to replication of the application table.
or
(2) Replicate only the master application table and create local instances of the Oracle Text index at both the master and materialised view sites.
Which method is best? Any experience, advice or references that you can provide would be much appreciated.
Many thanks for your help,
Peter

Best Practice Adding New Target to Namespace and Replication

Hi,
whats the best way to add a new target to Namespace and replication. Goal is to replace a old file Server at the end.
I did the following:
- copied the share with robocopy incl timestamps of files and folders
- created share
- added the new share as a new target as well as meshd member of the replication connection
- disabled the new member in the Namespace, so no one can Access it until dfsr is fully done and initialized
After the the new dfsr Connection was replicated through AD to all 4 Members (3 different site, 1 same site) the
following happend:
dfsr begin and almost every file was in a conflicted and copied over the the Conflict Folder. Almost all timestamps
of the Folders were changed to the current date, but the timestamps of the files not.
Thousands of eventlogs: 4412
The DFS Replication service detected that a file was changed on multiple servers. A conflict resolution algorithm was used to determine the winning file. The losing file was moved to the Conflict and Deleted folder.
Any idea why? Later on i disabled the Connections to the remote Fileservers, but that did not stop it.
My idea was to pre-seed the files with robocopy. So what would be the best way to prevent that for the next share ? Is it a better way to just add the target to a bi-directional Connection to the local Fileserver without adding to DFS-N and without copying
the files before ? Is it better to let DFSR do the hole Initial sync incl Files ?
At the end i have no loss of date but to check almost every file for conflict took Ages to finish.
Thanks a lot,
Marco

Hi,
The steps you performed are correct - compare with waiting for DFS initial replication, a manually pre-staging is recommended.
When doing the Robocopy step, wether all attributes are copied such as NTFS permissions?
After robocopy, you can add that folder as a folder target of DFS replication group - you can add it to DFS namespace after replication finished.
And if it is a Windows 2012 R2, you can prestaging DFS database for a better result.

Preview Release of WebLogic Portal 9 and Workshop 9

I would like to get my hands on a developer preview release of WebLogic Portal 9 and Workshop 9. I can't seem to find it online so I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction. We're currently evaluating portal products and I would hate to decide against BEA based on the lack of availability of the forthcoming version.
Anybody know where a developer release of either of these two products can be found?

The Technology Preview for WLP 9.x and WLW 9.x will be available in early December. Please contact your BEA account team to let them know that you are interested.
At present the plan is to have a GroupSpace community site for use by all customers participating in the Technology Preview. A BEA technical field staff member (SE, PS, etc.) assigned to your account will use this site to send you an invitation, and when you join you will have access to the installation. Questions, discussions, etc. for the Technology Preview will all go through the GroupSpace site. If you don't know who your BEA technical account member(s) are, you should find out as they will be the key to obtaining the Technology Preview.
If you can't wait for the Technology Preview, please ask your BEA acount team to contact myself or others in Product Management. We'll be happy to go over the product features, show you demos from current builds, etc.
Thanks,
Skip Sauls
Senior Product Manager, WebLogic Portal
