How many external application servers?

Our SAP system is quite small and serves about 150 users (Netveaver 7 and ERP 2006)
We are moving our very old physical servers from hardware to a virtual environment, which is very powerful.
At the moment we use three application servers on three seperate hardware servers, and one on the central instance.
Now all servers (SAP central instance plus application servers) will be moved to one physical machine on VMware.
Does it make sense to install again more application servers in seperate Windows-VM's, or ist it ok just to use one application server at the central instance for all users? The VM-host has much more power then all existing servers together.
I didn't find any information about this question in SAP's documentation.
best regards
Stefan

Hello
What matters here is the number of work processes. If you are planning to configure the target system with CI and an AS then you are losing the work processes provided by the other 2 AS's from the existing setup unless you set up the target system with more work processes for CI and AS. I would check the total number of work processes in the present setup and calculate the difference with the target configuration (CI + AS). If the target machine is powerful and if there is a need to have more work processes then I would increase the work processes on the CI and AS instead of having 3 AS's. There is nothing wrong in having more than 1 AS but there is no point in having more AS's if there is no use. If the requirement can be achievable with the help of additional work processes then I would consider increasing the work processes than having an additional AS.
You can make use of this consulting note for configuration of work processes.

How many external displays dose the Retina MBP suport?

How many external displays dose the Retina MBP support? I have herd conflicting information about this, an apple store employee told me that it could support 2 thunderbolt displays while simultaneously running a HDMI connected display (witch would be awesome if true) but I am extremely skeptical, that seems like to much for one GPU.

Graphics and Video support:
Intel HD Graphics 4000
NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M with 1GB of GDDR5 memory and automatic graphics switching
Dual display and video mirroring: Simultaneously supports full native resolution on the built-in display and up to 2560 by 1600 pixels on up to two external displays, at millions of colors
Thunderbolt digital video output
Native Mini DisplayPort output
DVI output using Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter (sold separately)
VGA output using Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter (sold separately)

How do the application servers connect the new database after failing over from primary DB to standby DB

How do the application servers connect the new database after failing over from primary DB to standby DB?
We have setup a DR environment with a standalone Primary server and a standalone Physical Standby server on RHEL Linux 6.4. Now our application team would like to know:
When the primary DB server is crashed, the standy DB server will takeover the role of primary DB through the DataGuard fast failover. As the applications are connected by the primary DB IP before,currently the physical DB is used as a different IP or listener. If this is happened, they need to stop their application servers and re-configure their connection so the they coonect the new DB server, they cannot tolerate these workaround.
Whether does oracle have the better solution for this so that the application can automatically know the role's transition and change to the new IP without re-confige any connection and shutdown their application?
Oracle support provides us the answer as following:
==================================================================
Applications connected to a primary database can transparently failover to the new primary database upon an Oracle Data Guard role transition. Integration with Fast Application Notification (FAN) provides fast failover for integrated clients.
After a failover, the broker publishes Fast Application Notification (FAN) events. These FAN events can be used in the following ways:
Applications can use FAN without programmatic changes if they use one of these Oracle integrated database clients: Oracle Database JDBC, Oracle Database Oracle Call Interface (OCI), and Oracle Data Provider for .NET ( ODP.NET). These clients can be configured for Fast Connection Failover (FCF) to automatically connect to a new primary database after a failover.
JAVA applications can use FAN programmatically by using the JDBC FAN application programming interface to subscribe to FAN events and to execute event handling actions upon the receipt of an event.
FAN server-side callouts can be configured on the database tier.
FAN events are published using Oracle Notification Services (ONS) and Oracle Streams Advanced Queuing (AQ).
=======================================================================================
Who has the experience and the related documentation or other solutions? we don't have the concept of about FAN.
Thank very much in advance.

Hi mesbeg,

For example, there is an application JBOSS server connecting the DB, we just added another datasource and put the standby IP into the configuration file except adding a service on DB side like this following:

If the failover is occurred, the JBOSS will automatically be pointed to the standby DB. Additional actions are not needed.

How many external displays does the 15 inch support?

I spend 90% of my time at a desk developing, using multiple monitors. My current Windows system can support up to 4 displays, normally I run with 3. I was wondering how many external displays one can hook up to the 2.3GHz Macbook Pro. I need at least 3 displays while still having a thunderbold for external drives and eithernet. Does the Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter allow splitting the single to two different monitors? Other then the Thunderbolt display, is there a way to get multiple monitors out of one Thunderbolt port?

From http://support.apple.com/kb/SP690 -> "Simultaneously supports full native resolution on the built-in display and up to 2560 by 1600 pixels on up to two external displays, both at millions of colors".
But there may be ways of driving three monitors - maybe someone with a Retina Display model will jump in. I know that on my 15" 2011 model, I can only drive two Apple Thunderbolt Displays.
Good luck,
Clinton

How many external Firewire drives can I share at once?

I have several external hard drives connected to my server. I appears that I can only share 4 of them at a time. I work in a high volume photography environment and store about 2TB every three months. I need to be able to share multiple external hard drives all at the same time. Is there a limit on how many drives or share points I can share at one time?

As long as the drives have their own power supply (powered USB or Firewire 800 Hubs will do) they will run to their theoretical max which is more than several hundred. I think the Thunderbolt can be daisy chained out to a pretty large number too.

How many external drives per Firewire 800 bus?

I am the proud owner of a new Mac Pro, which comes with only one FW 800 bus. I have 4 1T G-Tech FW drives (2 for video media) that I've daisy-chained, and I know their performance is suffering because of it. I'd like to remedy that.
Question 1: Is it optimal to have only one of these drives running on each bus? Can I get away with two per bus without serious loss of efficiency? Can I assume that 2 per will run better than 4 per?
Question 2: For the price that OWC is selling the Sonnet Tango 800 PCI-E card (about $110), is there another card I should be considering, or is the Tango 800 considered good?
Thanks.

videocrafter,
not to presume on your time more than i already have -- what a helpful reply you gave. thanks! -- but i just want to make absolutely sure of one thing:
i buy the esata pci-e card you mention from OWC and install it myself (probably pretty easy) and then just plug my G-Tech drives into it, and I'm good to go? No separate esata controller card? I just realized that only two of my four G-Tech drives have the esata connection, so I could plug those two in, leave the other two with my FW 800 connection and save up for a couple more G-Tech drives with the esata connection. And this will make my life better.
Correct?
many, many thanks.
giraut
Hi giraut, your welcome
That is correct, you will not need any additional controller card. You will have to install the driver for the Tempo E4P (make sure you follow the installation instructions) and you'll want to make sure you download the latest driver from Sonnet's website:
http://www.sonnettech.com/support/kb/kb.php?cat=338#position_content
and unless you have some application monitoring for new upgrades, I would check at least once a month if not more often for any new future drivers. They are suppose to be coming out with one here soon to support 64 Bit. Even though FCP does not yet support 64 bit if you choose to run other applications in 64 bit you don't want your eSATA controller to cause any problems.
You'll also need One external shielded eSATA data cables with "I-Shape" connectors for each device you connect to the card. So in your case, you'll need 2 right away. Here is the type of cable you need, it just happens to be made by Sonnet, but you can find cheaper ones (just remember, you get what you pay for).
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Sonnet%20Technology/TCBSATA11/
There is one bit of insight I would like to give you when swapping any of your internal drives around once you have this card installed. It probably tells you in the owners manual, and I just stopped reading once I got it up and running. However I found out the hard way. The first time that I swapped out one of the "Internal" drives (I swapped out the drive in bay 3 I think it was, makes no difference which bay I'm sure) but I simply shut down my system, unplugged the computer and swapped out the drive. When I started back up, I things didn't' seem right, it wasn't seeing my external drives properly and I got a panic attack (both the computer and me!). Of course my first thought was "YOU'VE GOT TO BE FREAKING KIDDING ME!" So after I took a deep breath, before turning the computer back on, I disconnected my external enclosure, then restarted and everything was find. I then completely shut down, turned on my enclosure and restarted. All was good. I tested my theory again and swapped out another internal drive and all went like clockwork. Here are the exact steps I took. They worked for me, and maybe they will work for someone else, so I'll list them here:
Swapping Internal Drive
1. Eject each external drive from the enclosure and power down the enclosure.
2. Eject and power down the FireWire drive.
3. Power down the computer and swap out drives.
4. With the external enclosures powered off, power up the computer as normal.
5. Accomplish another shut-down.
6. Make sure all of the drives are installed into the enclosure, turn on the power.
7. Power up the computer and keep your fingers crossed.
Personally I've never daisy-chained Firewire drives (although I find it fascinating that Patrick had 19 of them daisy-chained) if I did I would probably only use them for archiving since I capture and edit everything in ProRes 422, but that's another thread. I currently only have one device that I use via firewire 800 which is my external Blu-ray burner. An interesting note here. I initially had my Blu-ray burner connected to my former piece of junk eSata controller card (with the Silicon Image SiI3124 chip and drivers that haven't been updated since before Leopard came out) but for whatever reason, the Tempo E4P wasn't seeing it (Now I'm not sure why, and frankly I didn't take the time to troubleshoot it, so it may be nothing) I just went ahead and connected the burner up as Firewire 800, and connected my 3rd external eSata device (a OWC Mercury Elite Pro USB/Firewire/eSata drive) to port 2 of my Tempo E4P, with my 5 drive bay FirmTek/5PM eSata enclosure connected to port 1 of the E4P (leaving 2 open ports on the E4P).
So, If I were you, for now I would go ahead and daisy-chain those other 2 Firewire drives, unless I needed to use them to capture and edit in anything other than DV, or for archiving only. Otherwise, I would get another 5 bay enclosure and take those 2 SATA drives out of those 2 existing firewire enclosures (Im assuming they are SATA drives inside their enclosure, I would surely think so) and put them in the external eSata enclosure.
One last ti-bit of information that may or may not be useful. When you get an external 5 bay enclosure with the port Multiplier, pay a little extra for a brand that you can trust. Personally, since I already have one, I would stick with the SeriTek SATA5PM (their built like a tank!), or go with a Sonnet, OWC has a new price on their Fusion D500P that's pretty appealing. I would definitely be cautious if wanting to purchase anything for a specific company with the word "Cool" in their name, the only thing that is cool, and it's only cool for them is they get your money and you get .... well you know!

How many external floppy drives can be attached to a Macintosh Plus?

Assuming I don't have a hard drive attached to a Mac Plus, is it possible to attach two external floppy drives? That way, I can use the internal floppy drive for the startup disk, the 1st external drive for the application disk, and the 2nd external drive for a data disk so save files.
Otherwise, how can I save to a data disk without having to eject one of the other floppies?

So the way you used to do it was -- you write-enabled the System disk. When you went to save, you saved your data file onto the system disk. Then if you wanted to copy it to another disk, eject the Applications disk and insert another all-data disk where you accumulated all your data files.
The operating system was very forgiving, and would let you eject the system disk if you had to. So you really could operate these Macs with one drive, as long as you didn't mind swapping disks all the time.
Even the HD20 was a big step up from that. But a Mac Plus has a SCSI port, and you can add an external SCSI drive of enormous proportions. (An 80 MegaByte drive was about a $1000 item.) I think you can install up to about 1 GB.

How many external drives can i connect to Pavillion p7-1154

I want to know if I can have two external drives attached to our P7-1154 hp pavillion desktop computer. I do have a spare USB port to make the connection. I already have one WD external Drive attached, which is rated USB3, 2TB Drive. The one I want to add is also a WD drive, a USB2 USB3, meaning it is a USB2, but is compatible with a USB3. It is a 1 TB drive.
When I originnaly attached the current USB3, 2TB drive, I immediately had a new folder come up named MY BOOK (K) and that is where I back up all my data.
I am assuming that when I attach the new, 1 TB drive to the empty USB port I will Immediately get another MY BOOK folder but with a different name, probably MY BOOK (K3) , or something like that.
My real Question I guess, is whether the Computer will recognize this as a different drive and give it a different name, or whether the computer might not be able to accept a second drive.
I do not want to take any chance of confusing the computer in any way, and so that is why I posted this question.
I posted this question in another forum about a month ago and did get one response, but did not get an answer. The responder wanted to know the rating of the two drives and wanted to know why I needed a second external drive. I provided him with the USB and TB ratings, and told him I just wanted the additional security of having our data on two external drives. I had one external drive on a different computer a couple of years ago and I accidentally dropped it, and was not able to recover any of the data. So I want to have two drives on this P7-1154 Pavillion Desktop. I did not hear back from him, so am posting in this forum.
I would appreciate any comments, information, or suggestions.

Hi,
Physically you can attached more than one external hard drive. I do that all the time. Your PC is equipped with multiple USB ports so you shouldn't have an attachment issue. If the application supporting MY BOOK has issues with multiple MY BOOK devices attached to your PC then you need to seek a solution from the MY BOOK manufacturer.
So to answer your question, yes your PC will support multiple USB external storage devices at the same time.
If your real question is, does my PC support multiple MY BOOK external USB devices?, then you should seek advice from the MY BOOK manufacturer.

How many external monitors can I support with 13" rMBP (late 2012)?

Device has two DisplayPorts and each is powering an external display properly. It also has an HDMI port. Can I connect a third monitor here?

I got my new 13" Retina in the other day (late 2013 model ME865LL/A)
I was all excited to see if the two Thunderbolt 2 outputs and the HDMI output would work together, but plugging in the HDMI output knocked out one of the Thunderbolt outputs, so what I read was right, the 13" model will only power two external monitors. Before I got this I kept reading over and over how it wasn't possible, but that was dealing with the Late '12 or the Early '13 models, I was hoping that the upgraded video card on the newest Haswell versions may be different, but alas, not to be....
But I did implement a work around as I have a Matrox Triple Head 2 Go DP Edition for my old Macbook and what that does is make my two Lenovo 22" widescreens look like one big 3840x1200 monitor to it's host (tricking the MB to thinking "hey, this is one monitor"), so this allows me to use one Thunderbolt output to power these two monitors and then I am using an HDMI --> DVI cable to power an HP 23" widescreen monitor I also have running at full resolution, all this in addition to the Laptop display as well:
Here is a quick 20 second video of all monitors playing video.... the one on the left in the middle row was staggering but that is more a problem with AMC's website more than anything, I never get good stream speeds from their site

I just installed iStat 4 an hour ago and am showing CPU temps around 150 degrees, not really sure what "normal" is or what is acceptable...... I'm going to keep tabs on what the temps are as I finish up my workday here (another 6 hours to go)
I still want to re-arrangle things so i only have two levels of screens to deal with, but still formulating that setup with my desk

How many times Application.Idle event is generated per second when application is idle?

Hi,
I want to implement a function when application is idle for more than 20sec.. Am using Application.Idle for determining application's idle state.. But i don know how to calculate the idle duration.. Can any one provide a sample code?

E.g.
namespace WindowsFormsApplication2
using System;
using System.Windows.Forms;
public partial class Form1 : Form
MessageFilter messageFilter ;
public Form1()
InitializeComponent();
Application.Idle += new EventHandler(this.Application_Idle);
this.messageFilter = new MessageFilter(this);
Application.AddMessageFilter(this.messageFilter);
private void Application_Idle(Object sender, EventArgs e)
this.timer1.Enabled = true;
private void timer1_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
this.textBox1.Text += "timer1_Tick";
public void StopTimer()
this.timer1.Enabled = false;
public class MessageFilter : IMessageFilter
private Form1 owner;
public MessageFilter(Form1 form)
this.owner = form;
public bool PreFilterMessage(ref Message m)
const int WM_TIMER = 0x113;
if ( m.Msg != WM_TIMER)
this.owner.StopTimer();
return false;

How many ALSA applications can play sound at once?

I ran into a strange issue where I had Counter-Strike:GO running (sound working fine in the game itself) but when I alt-tabbed, no other application could play sound. VLC would complain my device was busy and Chromium didn't show an error but sound didn't work either (tested with a YouTube video.) I was able to solve this by changing the audio setting in CS:GO from 5.1 surround to 2 speaker (I use headphones so no need for surround) so now I can alt-tab and still have sound in other applications.
What I want to know now is why that is? Is there a limit to the number of simultaneous channels or what? I just tested and with CS:GO set to 2 channel I can play sound from CS:GO, Chromium, VLC, and Banshee all at the same time but with 5.1 CS:GO hogs the sound card all to itself.
I'm also curious about where PulseAudio fits into this. Right now I'm just using pure ALSA. If I were to get a surround setup one day would PulseAudio overcome this limitation and allow me to play music while I game?

See list of gotchas.
The main issue you probably have is that Dmix doesn't work with more than stereo - *unless* you use something like my sample config.
ALSA is flexible, which means it will allow naughty apps to block the soundcard for other apps. So, configure your apps also.
ALSA works fine, no need for pulseaudio.

How many external drives can i have on Pavillion p7-1154 compter

I have four usb ports on our 1154. one is used for printer, one is used for skype, one is used for a Western Digital 'MY BOOK' external drive, and one is not in use.
Can I use the remaining usb port for another Western Digital External Drive, which also requires a usb port.
I think the answere is 'YES', but before I connect the second one, I thought I would ask, just to be safe.
Thanks for any help, comments, or questions... Wayne

Thanks a lot for the interrupted reply.
The WD external drive I now have attached is a USB3, 2TB drive. The one I want to add is also a WD drive, a USB2 USB3, meaning that it is a USB2 but is compatible with a USB3. It is a 1TB Drive.
The reason I want to add the second drive is basically security. I dropped one external drive several years ago and the data were never recovered. I just want a second backup of all the data on the hard drive.
On the box of the 1TB drive is says that it is compatible with a USB3 Drive, and this may have answered my question. However, I am not sure of this and that is why I am asking the question as to whether or not I can have two external drives on the P7-1154.
When I originnaly attached the current USB3, 2TB drive, I immediately had a new folder come up named MY BOOK (K and that is where I back up all my data.
I am assuming that when I attach the new, 1 TB drive to the empty USB port I will Immediately get another MY BOOK folder but with a different name, probably MY BOOK (K2 , or something like that.
My real Question I guess, is whether the Computer will recognize this as a different drive and give it a different name, or whether the computer might not be able to accept a second drive.
I do not want to take any chance of confusing the computer in any way, and so that is why I posted this question.
Thanks again for the earlier response. Hope your error messages have gone away.
Hopefully this more detailed question will be helpful for you to give me more advice, one way or the other, on whether or not I should add a second external drive.

How many external monitors can the i7 Macbook Pro run?

I have two external 22" LCD. Can the new i7 Macbook Pro run both of these?

Yes, (assuming the minidisplay port is as capable as on the earlier models) but you will need additional hardware.
