GSS and DRP agents for proximity

Hello
We are deploying GSS boxes to achieve global load balancing and I would like to use DRP agents in order to scale the solution properly and I have a few questions.
1. What is the recommended HW platform for the DRP agent and should it be a dedicated box or can I enable DRP on my Internet routers for example?
2. What if Used something like adedicated 800 series router as a DRP agent in every hosting location would this work ?
3. WIch of 1 and 2 is the preferred method or is there another best practise solution I should use?
There is not so much docs around about the GSS so any help is greatly helpful.

From the "Cisco-Supported Hardware and Software Compatiblity" section of the
GSS 1.2(2) Release notes:
For network proximity, use a Cisco IOS-based router that supports Director
Response Protocol (DRP) as the probing device in each proximity zone. DRP is
supported in the following Cisco IOS release trains: 12.1, 12.1E, 12.2T, 12.2,
12.3, and later releases. ICMP probing is only supported in Cisco IOS releases
12.2T, 12.3, and later releases.
The GSS operates with Cisco IOS-based routers using the following DRP RTT
probing methods: TCP ("DRP Server Agent") and ICMP ("ICMP ECHO-based RTT
probing by DRP agents"). "DRP Server Agent" and "ICMP ECHO-based RTT probing by
DRP agents" are the Cisco IOS feature names as shown in the Cisco Feature
Navigator.
I havent seen dedicated routers used for just GSS proximity. Usually drp agents are activated on running routers.

Windows and OSX support for Proximity

Is there an install for Windows and OSX support for Proximity.
I have upgraded all of my endpoints to TC7.1.2. (SX, C Series, EX) and Proximity is working great however most of my users bring laptops to meetings not iOS devices.
Any timeframe ?

@dshumake; nice try ;) (thanks for being forgiving with us)
@ablaisdell; agree!
@fcosgrove; we are currently starting a limited trial for Win and Mac clients (EFT, part of TC 7.3). The main feature for the laptop client is sharing FROM your laptop to the video endpoint, so you can skip the cable, dongles etc in the room.
We do have plans for supporting call control and content receive to the laptop as well, but that's later.
The first PC & Mac version has target for first half 2015, but is subject to change (as in: not yet committed).

Creating/Testing and Using Agents for ODI Sequence

Hi
can you/anyone please tell/guide me how to Create a agent and use ODI sequence when i am doing File-to-File Mapping?
I created an ODI sequence and an agent too. but i am unable to use this sequence coz it gives error like Connection fail for agent.
and more over when I am testing my agent for connection my Application hangs and I have no choice but to close it forcefully and re-start.
I am giving host as my target server IP and Port as my target's port (Same as defined in DataServer' URL).
Please Advise/Help/Suggest.

New version available for Intermedia Clipboard Utility and Web Agent for Oracle9i?

Hi!
I have downloaded the files from the OTN website under the
section "interMedia Clipboard Utility & Web Agent Utility for
NT". After installing the files, it crashes my Oracle HTTP
Server on Apache. I am currently testing stuff on Oracle 9i and
I guess the utility that I downloaded is for Oracle 8i. Is new
the for Oracle 9i available already? How do I download it?
Thanks!
Lily

Lily,
The interMedia Clipboard and Web Agent are not supported on
Oracle 9i. For information on alternatives to the
Web Agent, please see the interMedia software page on OTN:
http://otn.oracle.com/software/products/intermedia/content.htm
The closest equivalent of the Web Agent is the interMedia Code
Wizard for the PL/SQL Gateway.

ID Server and Policy Agent for AS .. is secure?

Hello there,
I have a question. Quite critical question, concerning iPlanetDirectoryPro cookie. If I've got it right, this cookie contains SSO Token. And the SSO token can be used with identity server to obtain any SSO assetion. I've experimentaly confirmed this.
Now, can anyone tell me why this cookie is sent to any host in my domain? The default after instalation is "bgs.sk". This default value enables any host in my domain to impersonate me. Well, I still can change this, but it is now good to have insecure default values anyway, is it?
Second, and more critical problem: I have Policy Agent installed on my Application Server. It looks like the agent requires access to the iPlanetDirectoryPro cookie to work correctly. But, if my application server has my SSO token, it can impersonate me anywhere. Not a good situation at all. That would mean security hole as big as hangar doors.
Are my assumptions correct? Am I overlooking something?
(All valid for ID server 6.0 and Liberty protocols)
Thanks for any help.

Although Sun promote Identity Server by emphasizing its Liberty/SAML feature, the product itself use a proprietary protocol for SSO and CDSSO.
As all we know, this product could be totally useless without Sun's Policy/J2EE Agent deployed. But ironically these agents communicate with Identity Server in its own way, nothing to do with SAML, XACML, or even SOAP.
The agent approach is usually not a good idea. We saw more and more problem raised from fields related to agent stability and scalability. We never see any performance benchmark data from Sun. Since the communication between agt and Identity Server are proprietary, no ISV can make agent for this product. You have to wait for Sun for agent support if you have new system not on the support matrix.
In addition to agent, another big issue of Identity Server is its complex DIT structure. In fact, we prefer to have RDBMS as Identity Server's repository. Sun abuse ldap just because this company doesn't have any database product but still want to provide a pure Sun platform (JES) to customer. So they compromise the architecture for business reason, I'd like to tell you, I don't like the way Identity Server store data in DIT, I don't like the console UI (its for technical geek), and on one in our company dare to do any configuration change.
Now Sun put Identity Server as the core of its JES product stack. If you have time to take a look at how the SJS Portal use Identity Server and how SSO between Portal channel and Email/Calendar Server are achieved, you'll find that you just buy a "framework" (I mean Identity server), not a product, because you have to do every integration work by intensively coding.
I predict that Identity Server will be significantly rearchitctured in the near future, otherwise we don't see any benefit this product can bring to me. It is a headache for deployment as well as maintenance. If you just need Single Sign-On, there are lots alternative to achieve, Sun's Identity Server is really overkill. It's authentication feature is ok, but authorization feature (policy, role) is very limited. If you have lots of Windows/IIS web app need to do SSO with Identity Server, god bless you... you better have a sharp programmer to wrap up the C API so as your ASP programmer can leverage Identity Server SDK, and you got to pray for IIS agent behave well. In addition, don't forget to learn more about JATO if you want to do some fancy customization on the default login page.

EM12c and GC11g Agent for Windows 2003 R2 64 bit

Hello Everyone,
I have setup a GC 11g on Oracle Linux 64 bit to monitor the servers in the data center.
The problem is, I'm having difficulties installing an agent in Windows 2003 R2 64 bit.
Few months ago when I checked the certification matrix for GC 11g Agent, I saw that it didn't support Windows 2003 R2 64 bit platform.
Apparently, now I cannot choose 11.1.0.1.0 in the certification matrix anymore and have left with 12.1.0.1.0 and 12.1.0.2.0.
However, even the 12c also doesn't put Windows 2003 R2 64 bit platform in the list of supported OS platform.
The strange thing is Windows 2003 R2 32 bit is supported.
So, my questions are:
1. Is there any of you who was successful in implementing the EM12c or GC11g agent on Windows 2003 R2 64 bit?
2. If you are successful, did you experiencing any problem after the installation and during the installation phase?
3. Can I use 10.2.0.5.0 agent which is supported to be installed on Windows 2003 R2 64 bit and managed by either GC11g or EM12c?
Thank you,
Adhika

Is there a SCOM install agent for SLES on PPC64?

Is there a SCOM install agent for SLES on PPC64?
Trying to install an agent for SCOM on Suse VM units that are hosted on IBM's power 7 hardware.
While i do see .ppc AIX agent installers I do not see one for SLES on ppc64.
Has anyone installed SCOM on SLES ppc64 or know of a viable agent for the install?

To elaborate a bit, Microsoft definitely does not offer an agent for SLES on PowerPC.  Linux has been ported to a lot of different processor chip architectures, which is great. But Intel x86/x64 is by far the most popular, and it's the only
chip architecture for which Microsoft supplies an agent for monitoring Linux. As you noted, there is an agent for AIX on PowerPC, but AIX is a very different operating system from Linux, and the agent for AIX on PPC will not work on Linux on PowerPC.
I don't see Microsoft doing an agent for Linux on PowerPC. We would need to see a significant business opportunity for that to change.
I would note that the source code for the OpsMgr agent for Linux/UNIX is available at
http://scx.codeplex.com, along with instructions on how to compile and build the agent. Someone with developer skills in C++, compilers, makefiles, etc. could definitely build an agent for SLES on PowerPC.  For
example, I'm aware of someone who has built an agent for Linux running on the IBM S/390 (z-Series) chip architecture running as a guest under zOS and has it working with SC 2012 OpsMgr.   But you would be on your own,
perhaps with help from the community, to make that happen.

[OBIEE11g] Agents for seeding cache

Hello,
I would like to set an agent for seeding cache for several users.
So I set a request and an agent for this.
In the agent configuration, Destinations tab, I uncheck everything and I check only "Oracle BI Server Cache (For seeding cache)".
But I get errors.
1) if I save the agent and then open it for edit, again, I can see that the "Devices" option is selected, even though I made sure it was not;
2) the agent runs with errors, because it cannot connect to the SMTP server.
([nQSError: 75027] Failed to open connection to SMTP Server)
This sounds strange to me, because:
1) I did not set it to send any email, just to seed cache only;
2) I have properly configured the SMTP server, anyway, and it should work; at least it does work outside OBIEE.
I have tried many different times and configurations, to make sure I do not make any errors when configuring the agent. But it does not work as expected.
Do you have any advice?

Anybody resolve this issue? We just upgraded to 11.1.1.6.6 and I have to have it send me emails or else it won't seed the cache. I don't like getting 84 emails a day!

SAP Conversion Agent for PI 7.1 EHP 1 and Windows 2008 Support

Hello
I have read that some people were able to run SAP Conversion Agent on a PI 7.1 EHP1 Installation on Windows 2008 Sever. But in the Product Availability Matrix there is no support for 2008 yet.
In the SAP Library (http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi71/helpdata/en/43/fc39c16bfb025ee10000000a1553f7/frameset.htm) under the release notes for SAP Conversion Agent there is still version 8.5, but when I install the actual Support Package I have Conversion Agent 8.6 running and according to information on the informatica.com site this version is running under 2008!
Has anybody clear and actual information about which OS the newest SAP Conversion Agent for PI 7.1 EHP1 supports? Or has anyone experiance on Conversion Agent and Windows 2008 Server?
Thanks
Christoph

Hi Mark
Thanks for your reply! Fact is that in the actual Package (SP06) the version of Conversion Agent Engine supplied is not 8.5.5 as in the SAP Note mentioned, it is version 8.6.0:
C:\Documents and Settings\pi1adm>CM_console -v
Engine-Version: 8.6.0(Build:30)
Engine-Syntaxversion:4.00.10
I will oben a ticket for that ...

Agents for database and application servers

hi all,
I have to go to a client site this week to install Gagents onto some database servers, some will be RAC and some application servers. it is on AIX. are there different agents for database and applications? In a RAC cluster do I need an agent per node?
rgds
alan

When installing agents in a cluster (read - RAC), during the installation, on one of the screens, you will have the option of picking up all the nodes in the cluster. Else, if you are using a push or agent deploy method, you just have to pass the correct flag (can't remember) and then list all the nodes in the cluster.
To your other questions, you do not need different agents for database, and app servers etc. The only time you would need different agents is when you are installing on different platforms.

Report for outstanding workflows and the agents responsible

I need a report that shows all leave request workflows , with userid who created them and approver (agent), and approver's org unit and personnel number.
is there a standard SAP report that can show that? or I need to develop one?
I was looking at the SWI2_FREQ, this report shows the leave request workflows and userid who created them, but it does not report on the agent.
Regards,
Tiberiu

Hi
I think by making use of SAP_WAPI_WORKITEMS_TO_OBJECTS you can get all the workitems who created the leave wokritems.
