Installing/Configuring multiple CMS instances in a single server machine

Hello,
We are installing BO enterprise server and we have a requirement which is as follows..
1. We have been given 1 server machine ( actual physical hardware machine )
2. We have been given two database repository instances ( one for Dev , other for QA )
3. We have to configure the 2 environments in the same server.
This means, Having two different CMS instances and pointing them to 2 different database repositories in one hardware server machine.
Any pointers how this can be achieved ?
I found a link where its mentioned that it can be achieved through the concept of SIA
[http://www.businessobjectstips.com/tips/server/business-objects-xi-3-xs-server-intelligence-agent-sia/]
But how do we achieve it?

First of all - this is not a good idea. It's possible to do, but not a good practice.
The purpose of QA environment is to Test what has been developed. If QA and DEV are on the same machine - what's the point?
Then your hardware server has to be big enough to support this.
I might be better to have 2 VM instances...
As to how to go about doing that :
1. It has been discussed here before, so if you search you'll see some good threads on the subject.
2. You'll need to review Admin guide and Install and Deployment Planing guides for the version of BO software you're going to use. (http://help.sap.com)
3. While pure BO stuff is fairly easy - you just create 2 SIA each pointing to its own DB and use different port ranges for both - you'll need to think about how to go about maintaining 2 instances of the Application server (Tomcat, WAS, WL etc ) to host 2 sets of BOE web apps (Infoview/CMC/dswsbobje)).

Installing two OBIEE 11g instances in a single windows machine

Dear Experts
As a part of one of the client requirements , I need to install and configure two instances of OBIEE11g in a single windows server 2003.
Is it possible , and if you could let know how to achieve that. Here I mean would I be able to run two rpd 's and catalogs. Can I use differnt port and differnt weblogic domain for the same.
Pls. respond..
Regds

Hi,
Yes ofcourse, we can have two instances on the same machine. However, we need to make sure that they do not conflict each other for the ports/node manager etc. Apart from this, I understand that you have to obey to some restrictions too here.
1. Starting/Stopping BI Components needs to have a variable BI_SERVER_HOME set in the system. Now that you have two homes, I think you cannot set this. However, you can still start/stop BI Services through command line.
May be others can add in their opinion here.
Thank you,

Configuring multiple web sites in a single OC4J instance with 10g OEM

Hi There,
there doesn't seem to be a way of configuring multiple web sites within a single OC4J instance using the 10g Enterprise Manager Website, so can i assume that there's some performance related issues with doing this, or is it just a case of if you want multiple web sites, configure it manually?
We currently use 9iAS release 1 (which has been configured to use multiple web sites - with normally 1 j2ee app in each website - in a single OC4J clustered instance, using mod_proxy to forward the http requests onto oc4j), but we are looking to migrate to 10g very soon...
The initial configuration was done by an external company, so i'm not entirely sure of the reasons why it was chosen (perhaps so that if there was a problem with a single website, it wouldn't impact all our applications)..
Does anybody else currently use multiple *-web-site.xml's in a 9iAS release 2 or 10g in a production environment, and if so did you encounter any problems with the OEM website (assuming you configured them manually)?
Thanks in advance,
Andy

How Can I Use Multiple Weblogic Instances in a Single OS

Hello Everyone,
Actually I have to install Some different applications. Few of them need weblogic 10.3.6 and others need 10.3.4. The OS am using is Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.
Now I am able to install 2 separate(One of 10.3.4 and 10.3.6) instances with two different users,In two different directories.
I have installed the weblogic 10.3.6 version with a user webadmin and installed node manager with port 5556. This is working fine.
The main problem here is :
In the second instance (10.3.4 ) installed with a a different user and gave the port number to NodeManager as 1600 and its not getting started. Its throwing error and also after some errors in the terminal am able to see that its reverting to port number 5556 only.
What might be the issue?
I have to install 2 different versions of weblogic in a single Server. But am failing with NodeManager. What Can I do to have multiple weblogic instances with multiple versions in a single server ?
Can anyone suggest a resolution for this please ?
Thanks in advance.

Can I have multiple TFS instances use a single SSRS installation

Can I have multiple TFS instances use a single SSRS installation?
Thanks

Hi Kim,
According to your description, you have multiple TFS instances using one Reporting Services instance. Right?
For installing TFS, to use a named instance with Team Foundation Server, you must install SQL Server by using a named instance, or move or restore Team Foundation Server data to a named instance, or create a team project collection on a named instance. Please
refer to the link below:

Managing multiple Postfix instances on a single host

We have quite a few sites on our Xserve. Each site should be able to relay email out the respective unique IP on a single host; however, by default email goes out the default website of the server or which IP is the current gateway.
NOTE: this is not a Postfix Virtual Domain Hosting > mail forwarding domains issue. Mail routes just fine to the correct email boxes. This is and issue where email going out to other mail servers originates from the box and not the respective domains and IP space.
The solution for this is Multiple PostFix Instances. One for each website (each website has a respective IP due to SSL and DNS is correct along with MX records).
For the outbound mail relay for our corporate network it seems there are no fields to enable a new postfix instance for each hosted or virtually hosted domain. Nor is there a way to enable SMTP to relay outgoing mail through another host unless you use a generic setting for every website on the server.
So for a enterprise level business how do we Managing multiple Postfix instances on a single host?

Fully on the same page with you. 110%
Here is why I am under the impression of why each domain name needs to be as if it needs its own MTA (mail transfer agent). No matter how big or small the business.
Just like a domain using SSL in Apache needs a dedicated IP when doing the packets . . .
Yahoo the big dog (for small to medium online businesses 70% of their customers make purchases with Yahoo emails; which most of them are temp emails or known as aliases.) states:
From: help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/postmaster/basics/postmaster-02.html
Many mail providers follow the same guidelines:
{quote}Segregate your lists to different IP addresses. If you maintain several lists (or clients, especially for an ASP), you may want to segregate your lists to ensure that users are marking each list on its own merits. If user sees both spam and legitimate mail from the same IP, their notifications to us will be hazy and will likely result in the spam overiding the legitimate mail.{quote}
So why not segregate websites to email out their own dedicated IPs?
Understandably sites that share IP space can go out the default MTA or better yet the MTA of that IP.
This way host providers can segment groups of clients and further prevent issues with out going email.
When email goes out a single MTA there are checks and rate limitations not just on the hops involved but from the "originating" IP address. So if site "A" has one IP and site "B" has another . . . well they both send email out the same default gateway. Take 100's of domains going out the same IP and customers (websites) start having issues getting customer communications delivered.
{quote}Maintain accurate reverse-DNS information for your mail servers. Yahoo! Mail makes extensive DNS checks for each connection, and an accurate reverse DNS will ensure prompt processing of your connection and email.{quote}
One mistake by one client out of 1,000 sites (or now Apple letting tens of thousands of sites able to be hosted) can get all 1,000 websites deferred and have what is called "reputation" issues.
In the past, as companies grow, sure they get more boxes or can cluster mail servers. With economic times beyond using Parallels . . . a single Mac Xserve can handle tens of thousands of websites doing a few thousand emails a day or more. It is more of a software/setting/configuration issue than just capability.
I remember Intel board meetings in the 90's where I (as a customer) stated put two nic cards on the mother board, standardize those rails, put twisted pair on those hard drive cables. Some things just take practical experience to see yes there is a real need and the business people are not getting it because they are focussing on the business or chasing their tail.
Also Note the IP address has to be STATIC:
From: help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/postmaster/errors/550-bl21.html;ylt=AsNxnjlX971dwy743e7j.olJHdG
{quote}In our continuing efforts to protect our users from unsolicited email, Yahoo! Mail does not accept SMTP connections from dynamic or residential IP addresses . . .{quote}
From: help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/postmaster/basics/postmaster-15.html
{quote}Segregate your mail streams by IP addresses, domains and/or DKIM selectors since Yahoo! Mail keeps reputation data about each IP address and domain you send from. For example, by segmenting the mail stream that delivers marketing mail from another that sends transactional messages, you make it easier for Yahoo! Mail to determine and assign each mail stream's reputation. {quote}
{quote} Use common-sense settings. While we have not published guidelines for numbers of connections you can concurrently use, we ask that you treat our resources with respect. The more you take, the fewer there are for others, which may force us to defer your connections. {quote}
From: help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/postmaster//basics/postmaster-38.html
{quote}To facilitate the smooth flow of messages between legitimate senders and Yahoo! Mail, we offer the following recommendations:
Limit the messages you send per connection
Yahoo! Mail accepts a maximum of 5 messages per SMTP connection. We encourage you to cap the number of messages you send to Yahoo! Mail to fall within this per-connection limit.
When this limit is reached, no further messages will be accepted for delivery as our server automatically terminates the connection (without giving an error code). If you are sending messages to a significant number of Yahoo! Mail users, the suggestions below will help ensure uninterrupted delivery for your messages.
Reestablish connections if you do not get an error code
When our server terminates your connection after 5 messages have been accepted, you may try to reconnect to our MX servers immediately thereafter.
Open concurrent connections
You may open concurrent connections from the same server to facilitate efficient transmission of your messages. However, while we do not publish specific guidelines for the numbers of connections you can concurrently use, we ask that you treat our resources with respect. The more you take, the fewer there are for others, which may force us to deprioritize connections from your server(s).{quote}
In the Server Admin under General one can enable IMAP with a maximum number of connections. However, for normal SMTP there is no connections cap. Unless I am wrong here.
Domain throttling by domain is another way, but the real solution is just dedicated IPs for each website or each website to have a separate MTA. In the past this has meant a dedicated server or a physical gateway.
Technically there should be a Virtual solution. If I can virtually host many sites and many incoming emails on dedicated IP space respective to each domain. There should be virtual MTAs on dedicated or the same respective IP space as the incoming; hence, why I gave the example of how SSL works in Apache with web servers.
Totally get what you are saying on how currently mail works just out the default gateway since there is only one "default" MTA for the "xserve".
Everything is good coming in, but did something somewhere miss the mark on the outgoing? Should be one for one.
Yahoo is the big player putting the foot down or the glass half full people would say setting the mark on how outgoing mail should work when they are accepting emails.
I am not trying to innovate, but rather just follow the rules.
Sure mail out one MTA works no matter how many website you put on the box and it is "good enough for government work" or "looks good from my house".
There are many people struggling with corporate communications (even the concept of corporate communications and marketing) and I think Apple could step up to the plate and help follow the standard of best practices.
I have done research for 10 years and over the past two tested what I know to be true. Then spoke with many businesses that did not understand but had the same issue. . .
Yahoo customers not getting their email communications and email simply not being as good as the old fashion phone call.
So back to your question (fabulous question since every tech asks me the same thing):
{quote}So my question to you is this: why can't you run all your domains on a single server/IP address?{quote}
Because it is no longer 1996 and I want Apple stock to triple!
. . . and that it no longer works for sites conducting a profitable business. We are really underachieving what America could do!
Yahoo! is clearly saying to each business to do business communications or even marketing on separate IPs. Gmail, Hotmail, and the list goes on and on. They all follow the same thing. Yahoo! just happens to be more aggressive and has more good consumers (buyers) using their free email service. Gmail started aliases and could gain market share of buyers.
I need to get Xserve to have one dedicated IP in and out for each independent website whether it is an Apache transaction on port 80 (443 SSL) or an email going out the postfix MTA on port 25 SMTP or any other standard alternative port (587 or 465 SSL) for that matter.
So far everything works as expected, but the SMTP MTA out. One big default gateway per hardware.
We missed the 1% mark. That club that gets it! I would like to see every business owner that buys an Xserve to be in that one percent club out of the box!
Why Rob? Well because it works! Dedicated IPs work. Think about this, if you gave the postman your address and did not include your suite number more than likely your lucky if you get your mail. WORKS the same way for email.
If your business grows you can get a few more until something once again gets abused and they start tracking MAC addresses. By then will have virtual MAC addresses like most routers can already do.
To prevent SPAM you just set the MTA defaults to one IP per website. Let's keep it simple. This way you keep a clean reputation and one reputation per website or business. Most businesses just need one IP and cannot afford a whole server for each website/business. THINK GREEN!!! The email filtering systems (RBLs and filtering rules) already out there will weed abusers out. Let's not hurt the small to medium businesses in the process.
Your not going to get RDNS and dedicated IP space anyhow unless your a real business.

Multiple ASM instances on a single node

Can i have multiple ASM instances on a single node? This is to have each instance supporting different environment dev,stage etc
Thanks
Sannidhi

I had been discussing the same issue with someone from Oracle. I asked for multiple ASMs on a server so that we could have seperate ASMs running for, say, 10g and 11g.
He explained that we should think of ASM as being the same as Veritas FileSystem. We don't run multiple instances of Veritas on our servers. On single Veritas "instance" (set of drivers) provides all the Veritas Fx mountpoints on the server. Similarly, there should be only 1 ASM instance on a server.
(substitute UFS or ZFS or CFS for Veritas in the above example and you still have only 1 filesystem manager on a server providing one type of filesystem, although you could have, say , UFS and Veritas co-exist ; just as you could have Veritas, ASM and Raw co-exist on a server).

Clear template cache on multiple CF instances in a single action?

I'm running several instances of Coldfusion on the same box
with template caching turned 'on' for each instance. I have it set
up where one instance will replicate file changes to the other
instances, but with caching turned on, I currently have to log in
to each CF Admin instance and click the "Clear Template Cache Now"
button for the file changes to appear. As I add more instances,
this will become an increasingly tedious process.
Does anyone have or know of a way to clear template cache
across multiple CF instances in a single action?

Is that in fact true?
Yes.

The Admin API is an application programming interface: you

to write your own scripts that call its methods.

Are multiple presentation services on a single server really unsupported?

Hello all,
I can hear everywhere that multiple presentation services on a single server are not supported by Oracle, but I can't find an official source stating this.
All I could get is this page where it is stated that it is not recommended (but not unsupported):
https://supporthtml.oracle.com/ep/faces/secure/km/DocumentDisplay.jspx?id=1111655.1&h=Y
Can anyone please advise ?
Thank you in advance,
Cedric.

Hi cedric,
It is not recommened is what i can say,in simple words it gets jammed when you try to build a request from any of the services.
It is not supported cant be the reason,it has a work around to go and do that
Follow these blogs Multiple presentation servers using the same RPD
http://obiee101.blogspot.com/2009/10/obiee-multiple-repositorys-multiple.html
UPDATED POST
There is no such official document saying about its support by oracle,but oracle wont support handling two servers in production as it is not legal and it is going against the product capabilities.I would suggest you not to go with it.
Cheers,

Multiple Java version on one Single Server

Hello All,

j2sdk1.4.1_03
We currently have an application that only runs with java 1.3.0, but also we have other application that need to be on java 1.4.+.
What would be the right approuch in order to have multiple Java versions on a single server.
TIA,

I am pretty sure you can do that.
I have done this with AccessGates and a Webgate is just an AccessGate with extra features. I am pretty sure we have done this on Apache with a webgate in different directories. Makes logical sense that it would work.
Thanks,

Single SOA Suite Install with multiple oc4j instances and java processes

We right now have 5 BPEL processes and 5 ESB processes all running under one java.exe process. We would like to seperate some of
them out into their own java.exe processes without having to install more
%ORACLE_HOME% instances of SOA Suite. I can create an oc4j instance but of
course it doesn't have any SOA Suite stuff deployed to it. I tried to see what
the install would do with this new oc4j instance but it wants to create a new
%ORACLE_HOME% with an entire installation of SOA Suite.
Is there some sort of way to clone oc4j instances that have SOA Suite deployed to them so that you
don't need multiple %ORACLE_HOME% instances?
### How is this Issue Impacting Your Business ###
We really don't want to have a lot of %ORACLE_HOME% instances to have to maintain. We are
migrating projects over from our current integration server product and we'll
have potentially dozens more BPEL and ESB projects. We definitely want to
group and isolate projects so that outages of one project do not bring down
others that are unrelated.
We are currently experiencing periodic problems with one BPEL project that requires recycling but all the other BPEL and ESB
projects get recycled also. If we could put this project into it's own java
process without creating another SOA SUITE instance, it would be a big
help.
ANSWER
=======
You can create multiple domains in BPEL or create multiple systems/groups in ESB to group different projects.
MY REPLY:
=========
We have been using systems/groups in ESB but they all run under the save java.exe process. I would assume that having a seperate domain in BPEL would also run in that same java.exe process.
Right now, the one BPEL project we have a problem with will gobble up all the JDBC connections from time to time and that requires a recycle of SOA Suite, which means all BPEL and ESB projects that run in that java.exe process get recycled also. We're working that issue in a different ticket.
It would be nice if the SOA Suite installation would install against a new oc4j instance and not assume it has to create a complete %ORACLE_HOME% instance. The components of SOA Suite seem to be J2EE based components.
Scenario: I already have an oc4j instance called oc4j_soa and a complete %ORACLE_HOME% installation of soa suite. I then create a new oc4j instance from Enterprise Manager. Then I would deploy the esb-dt, esb-rt, orabpel, etc. components of SOA Suite to that new oc4j instance and modify the necessary config file so that it can work with OHS and the SOA Suite Databases. Is this possible?
Does anyone have any experience with this or do people typically install multiple complete installation of SOA Suite with mulitple Oracle Homes?

Hi,
yes, on metalink you get in touch with real experts....
You have to install serveral application servers to get different ORACLE_HOMEs.
For each one, you can install a BPEL PM.
But: For each BPEL PM you need your own database instance, or you have to configure them as a clustered BPEL installation.... (but i do not know if this work with non RAC DBs)

SSM - Configure Multiple Webserver's with a Single Database Server

Hi,
I need to install SSM using the following system landscape: Distributed system using a single database server and two webserver's.
The system is configured to use the Microsoft Network Load Balancing and that's the reason why exist two webserver's. When the user put the URL, the connection can be done to the webserver 1 or webserver 2 (the Microsoft Network Load Balancing will manage that).
I was checking the install guide "NW CE 7_1 SP5 SQL Server Install Guide.pdf" but there is no reference to this system landscape. The only "similar" is for High Availability System using Microsoft Cluster Service (MSCS), but that's not what I need.
I was planning to do a distributed installation and in the database server I will install:
- the Database Instance of NetWeaver
- the Database components of SSM (PAS)
In the Webserver I will install:
- the SCS Instance of NetWeaver
- the Primary Application Instance of NetWeaver
- the Web components of SSM (PIP, etc...)
For a scenario of a single webserver and a single database server, this work just fine.
My questions are:
- how can I configure SSM to work in a scenario of two webserver's and a single database server?
- Should I install the same components in both WebServer's?
- Should I use the same instance number or a different one?
- It is possible to have two netweaver instance sharing the same database?
Thanks in advance for all the help
Regards
Pedro

Hi Pedro,
- how can I configure SSM to work in a scenario of two webserver's and a single database server?
Yes see below. But also make sure SAP will support the configuration you're planning!
- Should I install the same components in both WebServer's?
yes.
- Should I use the same instance number or a different one?
The same makes configuration eaiser
- It is possible to have two netweaver instance sharing the same database?
Not for the SCS but yes for application server (your Java instances)
The central services, SCS instance, are one per a SAP System. So you cannot install one on each Web Server and operate them simultaneously.
Given your database is also a single point of failure then I would suggest you install the SCS with it on the database server.
On each of the Web Servers install an application instance of SAP NW CE.
Since the instance are on different servers they can share the same instance number. It is not mandatory but it may make configuration easier. e.g. for the the webservice the port will not change.
There can only be one Interactive Publisher (PIP) running so this may as well also go on your database server.
The Pilot Application Server (PAS) there can be multiple of so install one on each Web Server.
See section 5.2.3 of Server Installation Guide SAP Strategy Management Release 7.0 Support Package 2 and higher for configuring SAP NW CE to point to the one instance on Interactive publisher.
See section 5.2.7 of Server Installation Guide SAP Strategy Management Release 7.0 Support Package 2 and higher for setting up the Web Service target in Interactive publisher this will need to use the virtual ip(or hostname) of your Network Load Balancer.
Best of luck.
Marcel.

Need to get data from multiple database instances in a single query

Hi,
I need a small favour from you guys. The prob is as follows:
I need to get name, row_id from table A from schema 1 and gbu_name, name from table B from schema 2 where a.name = b.name. I wrote the query in the following manner:
SELECT a.name, a.row_id, b.gbu_name
FROM Schema1.A as a, Schema2.B as b
Where a.name = b.name
But this query is not working and the error is like " The table does not exists".
Please update me how to avoid the error and get the right sort of result.
Thanks & Regards,
Debabrata

Ah, youre actually asking different things.
In your topic title, you say youre running separate instances
In your body text, you say you are under different user/schema
So tell me, do you have more than one database or not? How many entries in your TNS file?
I would say, for "multiple database instances"
SELECT
a.id, b.id
FROM
tableA a
INNER JOIN
tableB@OTHER_DATABASE_LINK_NAME b <--NOTE!
USING(id)And of course you will have to look up CREATE PUBLIC DATABASE LINK sql..

Multiple SAP products on a single server

Is it possible to install ERP 2005, BW, CRM, SSM and EP on a single server without virtualization? This is only intended for non-productive instances (DEV & QA)
I would also like to know if SAP has any information on this?
Thank you
Aubrey

Welcome to SDN Aubrey,
It is possible to do this assuming all the applications versions support the same DBs. You will have to size the server additively - you don't really save a CPU, memory, or Disk.
You have 2 options here:
MCOD: All the applications share the same DB but are separate applications with SIDs. Note that all applications must support the same release of your DB.
Separate DBs: All applications have separate DBs (assuming your OS/DB supports multiple installations).
There is a lot of good information in the master guides (SAP NetWeaver, mySAP ERP, and mySAP CRM). I'm not sure what SSM is?

I hope this helps,
Mike.
