How to configure Load Balancer in front of Web Logic Cluster

hi all,
I installed 2 weblogic servers in cluster and now i want to deploy Hardware Load balancer in front of them, i want to know do i require any configuration on servers or i just deploy hardware Load balancer in front clustered servers with round robin technique.
Regards,
imran

I think there are two important configuration when you use hardware load balancer in front of WebLogic cluster.
1) Passive Cookie Persistance
You need to configure hardware load balancer so that it can identify Weblogic session cookie for routing request primary server holding HTTP sesstion.
2) External DNS
If there is firewall between hardware load balancer and weblogic cluster and NAT (Network translation ) is used, then you need to configure "External DNS" for each weblogic server in cluster. You need to specify the hostname used by load balancer in "external DNS".
More details about this are available at.

Configuring load balancing in agents

Experts,
Can you please guide me how to setup load balancing through agents?
both java ee and stand alone in 11g.
Cheers

Hi,
Have you checked the docs on how to do it :
see section 4.3 here :
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21764_01/integrate.1111/e12643/setup_topology.htm#CHDDDABA
On the physical agent properties in Topology you can choose to link the agents together on the load balancing tab.
Edit - slightly nicer write up for you here : http://gerardnico.com/doc/odi/webhelp/en/usermanual/topology/topology/load_balancing.htm

Load balancing In weblogic 6.1 JMS Cluster

          hi
          i have implemented distributed queues in weblogic as suggested in the JMS performance
          guide.but the problem is that of the 3 queues in cluster the messages always end
          up going to the same queue and the remaining 2 remainin queues are empty. i want
          to perfomr load balancing but i think this ios available only in weblogic 7.0.can
          anyone suggest any alternative workaround ??


I wonder if the JNDINameReplicated setting is taking effect.
          Are there any warning or error messages in your logs?
          Can you see statistics for all three JMS servers on the console?
          Does it work if you use the "./a" syntax?

Is there auto load balance between 2 active webi services?

Hi ,
I have not seen any kind documentation from SAP whether BOBJ can auto load balance requests in round robin fashion between 2 or more webi services.
The only theory or belief that i see & hear is that upon reaching the max connection threshold of one webi service, bobj will start diverting the next requests to second webi service.
So now i am looking for some kind of clarification on whether auto load balance happens between multiple webi services in round robin fashion or not.
Please share if any one has idea about this.
Thanks,
Srikar

Thanks to everyone who tried to respond to my question.
But i just got below response from SAP:
=====================================================
I would like to inform you that CMS distributes the load (jobs) to
servers according to the server availability (maximum jobs allocated
to individual server). This is a generally how load is balanced
between CMS and various job servers and processing servers.
=====================================================
Now i am more confused. I personally did some little testing by creating 2 webi services and tried to view multiple webi reports. What i observed is it does pick up different webi services only while at the start of report viewing. But once it picks up perticualr webi service, that same user session is sticking to previously picked up webi service and always goes to the same process for processing.
But now SAP response is bit more confusing.
Thanks,
Srikar

I have read the doco by Ivan Kovacevic amongst many others but as my clients and servers are on the same subnet, the config doesnt work.
Can anybody point me in the right direction please. The devices are ACE 4710 running A3(2.3).
Thanks

Try using the following configuration:
Note: Please make sure to configure also a udp probe to probe udp port 69, in case the application is down.
You need to configure a management policy on the interface when using a UDP probe.
That is because, when port 69 on the server will be unreachable, the server will send an ICMP unreachable.
ACE will consider a udp probe as "failed" only when it sees ICMP unreachable.
Without a management policy-map, the ICMP unreachable message will be dropped.
Also, add an ICMP probe to the rserver because udp probe will not be enough when the physical interface will be down.
That is because UDP is a connection-less protocol. To consider a UDP probe successfull, ACE need to see NO answer from the server in respose to the probe.
The ACE will not see any answer from the server when the interface is down and thus, will consider the probe as "sucessful".
With ICMP probe attached to the rserver, you also test the reachability of the server and not only the UDP port.
Here is the configuration (of course, you can chage the names of the of the objects to the name you are using if you want) :
access-list ALL line 10 extended permit ip any any
probe udp TFTP
port 69
interval 5
passdetect interval 15

Adapter configuration & load balancing

Hi,
I posted questions for my requirements on Adapter forum but did not get any answer.
Hope this forum can help.
We started a POc with Oracle As adapters for EBS. As part of that we are trying following taks,
1) Connect to multiple EBS instances & deploy individual adapter for same on AS
2) Use these two instances for loadbalancing & scalaing
I am not bale to find information about above two in Oracle Adapter documentation.
I could build sample EBs adpater scenario with concurrent programs and use a default APPS adapter deployed on AS server by modifying oc4j-ra.xml. But failed to delpoy multiple instances that can be viwed from Enterprise Manager.
Also how to configure my adapters for better load balancing and sclaling. Is there any doc link that i can read?
Thanks in advance.

How to properly load balance between diffrent server farms.

Hi experts,
We are using an ACE 4710. We chose for our server farms to load balance using the least_connections predictor. it seems to work fine inside the same server farm but is it working properly between server farms? It doesn't seem because some of my real servers seems to be more loaded than others. Each server farm are using the same real servers.
Any idea about what is the problem or any suggestion regarding the best load balancing predictor we should use using this kind of configuration?
Thank's to all.

The ACE uses load-balancing algorithms or predictors to determine how to balance the traffic among the devices configured in the server farms, independent of the device type. For FWLB, we recommend that you use only the hash address source and the hash address destination predictors. Using any other predictor with FWLB may fail and block traffic, especially for applications that have separate control and data channels.
Here is the configuration guide for the Cisco ACE 4700 Series Appliance Server Load-Balancing.

Issue with Site Configuration / Load Balancing

Were noticing strange behavior with our servers that are configured behind a load balancer. Weve got two servers with different ports and a load balancer:
Server1: https://host1:30003/opensso
Server2: https://host2:30103/opensso
Load Balancer: https://loadbalancer:30003/opensso
When we go to the admin console, we can access Server1 without a problem, but the second time we go the load balancer sends us to Server2, and our browser returns a page not found error. Weve traced the HTTP traffic and discovered that every other time we go to the admin console (the load balancers are configured round robin), Server2 always returns a bogus HTTP found URL. The response it provides is something like https://loadbalancer:*30103*/opensso/UI/Login (just an example).
The issue here is that it is properly directing the end users browser to the load balancer DNS entry. It is not however directing the end users browser to the proper port. It seems to sends its own port value to the browser. Obviously when the browser tries to access this URL the Load Balancer rejects the request because it is not listening on port 30103.
Can Multiple OpenSSO application servers (configured as a site) run from behind a load balancer when they are listening on different ports? If so, why is the application server responding to the user request with its own port, rather than that of the load balancer, yet still providing the DNS hostname entry for the load balancer the whole time.

Major updates of Muse are targeted to release roughly every quarter. The 1.0 release was in mid-May. The 2.0 release was in mid-August. A fundamental change to image loading would only appear as part of a major update due to the engineering and testing efforts required.
As provided in your previous thread http://forums.adobe.com/message/4659347#4659347 the only workaround until then is to reduce the number of images in the slideshow.

FRM-92101: Load Balancing Forms 10g with Web Cache

Hi,
IÂ´m having some problems with Oracle Forms and Webcache 10g and I was wondering if you
could help.
Machines: (Pentium IV 2.6 GHz; 2GB RAM; 80GB HD)
A. Red Hat Linux AS 2.1
Oracle AS 10g - Infrastructure Installation
B. Windows 2000 Server - Service Pack 4
Oracle AS 10g - BI and Forms Installation (Using Infrastructure on machine A)
C. Windows 2000 Server - Service Pack 4
Oracle AS 10g - BI and Forms Installation (Using Infrastructure on machine A)
I didnÂ´t apply any Patchsets of Oracle AS 10g. My current version is 9.0.4.0 .
Goal:
Use Oracle Webcache 10g on machine B for Load Balancing an Oracle Forms Application
on machines B and C.
Facts:
The Oracle AS 10g installation on the 3 machines was made without problems.
The Forms Applications are running without problems on both Forms servers in machine B and C.
Symptoms:
IÂ´m getting the following error when I try to acces the forms application through Webcache:
FRM-92101: There was a failure in the forms server during startup.
This could happen due to invalid configuration.
Please look in the web-server log file for details.
But, this error happens ONLY when BOTH OC4J_BI_Forms instances (machines B and C) are
running.
When just one of the OC4J_BI_Forms is running everything works fine.
Webcache Configuration:
IÂ´ve followed Metalink note 207668.1: Configuring Web Cache as a Load Balancer for Application Servers
step by step to make the configuration of the following components:
1. Configuration of the origin servers
2. Configuration of Site definitions
3. Configuration of Site to server mapping
After that, IÂ´ve follwed the Metalink note 229900.1: Integrating and using Web Cache with Forms 9i for Load Balancing
step by step to make the configuration of the following components:
4. Session Binding
Then I try to test the Load Balancing and I got the error FRM-92101 when both OC4J_BI_Forms
instance were running.
IÂ´ve searched Metalink and found note 268830.1: Webcache Won't Load Balance 2 Forms Instances.
Following the note instructions I did the following changes:
Added these lines at the end of HTTPD.conf (machine B):
CookieTracking On
CookieName myformscookie1
Added these lines at the end of HTTPD.conf (machine C):
CookieTracking On
CookieName myformscookie2
In Webcache configuration:
IÂ´ve Changed the default session binding from JSESSIONID to "ANY SET COOKIE" for the
site's session binding.
But even after these changes IÂ´m getting FRM-92101 error on the same conditions.
How can I solve this problem ?
Thank you in advance.
Marcus Santos.
([email protected])

Just ran into this problem last Tuesday, Nov.30 and applied the changes today.
My configuration is similar to yours: 9.0.4 web cache on machine A, 9.0.4 10gAS forms and reports standalone on machine B and C (not a cluster, no infra).
I appended the Cookie lines you mentioned in httpd.conf located in $ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Apache/conf in both machines B and C.
One important thing you may have missed. After changing httpd.conf in each 9iAS instance, you need to make the change known to dcmctl so issue:
dcmctl updateConfig -ct ohs
Then do the following for each 9iAS instance and it should be ready for webcache:
dcmctl stop
dcmctl start
Setup Any-set-Cookie in webcache instead of JSESSIONID and the whole thing should now work. You can run a form through machine A which will load balance to either machine B or C (which can both be up). Then, try shutting down 9iAS on machine B or C and run a form again. They now all work.
HTH,
Raffy

Load balancing to a WLS 8.1 cluster with BigIP 9.0

We are experiencing a problem load balancing to our 8.1 cluster using f5's 1500 with BigIP 9.02. The cluster is not configured with any failover capability; we are have configured the BigIP with active cookie insertion persistence; all is well untill we take down one of the nodes in the cluster; any session associated with that node via the load balancer is bounced repeatedly between the two remaining nodes; the only solution appears to be to close all browser instances and open a new one. Has anyone experienced this behavior and have some suggestions ?

Load balancing two or more Web Provider instaces

Is it possible to balance the load between
two or more Web Provider instaces?
I think that HTTPSession exists between
Parallel Page Engine (PPE) and
the Web Provider instance.
Is it correct?
If so, how can I achive load balancing of
Web Providers?

Ok, we tested successfully in our environment and here are the details:
Scenario:
1) One Management Server and two Publishing Servers
2) Publishing Servers are load balanced in F5 (VIP Address)
3) Publishing Servers use Custom App pool identity (Application Pools-->AppVPublishing)
4) App-V 5 Clients use the VIP address in the registry for Publishing Server name and URL
Steps on SQL Side:
1) Obtain the Object SID of the Custom App Pool Identity (ADSI Edit)
2) Login to SQL Server as Admin and launch SQL Mgmt Studio
3) Select App-V 5 DB and expand tables and select 'dbo.PublishingServers'
4) Right click the above table-->edit top 200 Rows'
5) Replace 'Sid' with the one obtained in Step 1
6) File-->Save All
App-V Mgmt Console and Clients
1) Add new packages
2) From any App-V client-->Sync Publishing Server
3) From any browser-->http://<VIP address>:889
4) Make sure all changes on Mgmt Console are reflecting on the Clients
Thanks to Greg who put us in right direction even though scenario is bit different. Also thanks to Chuck Timon from MS App-V team for testing with me.
Now going back to see if we can test this using DSR method on F5 which we tested successfully with App-V 4.6 SP1 earlier. If anyone tested DSR (F5) in App-V 5, please let me know.
Thanks
Raj Yarlagadda
I have - 2 publishing servers listed under this "edit top 200 rows" you want to modify the SID of the publishing
servers computer accounts to the Custom App Pool Identity's SID ? you can't have the same SID
listed for both?

How to configure standard report concurrent program in web forms.

I have developed new custom report using reports6i, and defined a concurrent program registered into AOL and assigned to a request group. I tested the report runs fine from form based applications. But user wants to run this new report from web forms(Incentive Compensation). I have no idea how to create a concurrent program link in the Incentive compensation module web forms.
Is there any document to configure oracle report concurrent program into web forms?
or guyz please send me the steps (screen shots) to add custom report concurrent program to web forms?
Please help guyz...I'm new to web forms......
Thanks in advance
Naveen
[email protected]

Naveen,
On some event on the page (like a button submit) you can call a PLSQL API with parameters which can further submit your concurrent Request.
If you want to see the Report output in Apps, it can be done directly. Otherwise if you want to see the value in the Self Service Page itself, then you can extend the oracle.apps.fnd.cp.request.server.RequestSummaryVO for your case.
Thanks
