Installing two portal instances

I have installed 9iAS 1.0.2.2.0 on a 9iDB on the same machine. I am now trying to install 9iAS 1.0.2.2.1 on another machine, connecting to the same database. When the installation request dad name, and schema name, I gave a different name to my first portal installation. The installation seems to have gone fine, but when I wanted to do the portal installation in the end, it says that i have insufficient Shared pool size. I have resized it in my init.ora, stop, started, checked in sql and I have more than enough space. I then noticed that the new schemas never got created in the database, only my second wireless schema got created. Can anyone PLEASE share some input on this? It is quite urgent.

Hello Martin,
The Central Services is in itself a instance and requires a unique system number. It looks to me like you have chosen the same system number(53) for your dialog instance ?
Edit: oops, think I may have misread your post with all those 3's ..please confirm the system number for the dialog instance you are trying to install is different.
Regards,
Nelis

Balancing with two portal instances

We are planning on having two portal instances on s Sun T2000. Initially we will not have a load balancer in front of them. We have decided to do this for redundancy and maintenance (when one is being patched, the portal is still up). Would we still have the default install of webcache in each portal instance and configure each one of them do software load balancing?

Hi,
>> 3) Another option is to install WebCahce stand alone on a separate machine..and use it from both Portal instances. Redundancy here is recommended too. Then, you can cluster the stand alone instances as well.
I would defenitely recommend this option over the others. We did try various other options - but, we noticed that in other cases the Portlet Session was reset when the application flow hopped fro one system to another.
We were able to resolve it with a cconfiguration similar to the one mentioned above.

Can I install two independent instances of Thunderbird on the same machine?

It is required to install two instances of Thunderbird on the same machine, each with its own account(s), Profiles folder(s) and sign-on password, so that each of two users can securely use Thunderbird at different times..
How can this be achieved?
Thanks,
NMB1

The simplest method is to install Thunderdird normally from an admin account. The two or more users then use ordinary none admin accounts. Thunderbird will be available to each user and each OS account has a separate Thunderbird profile, so each user has effectively totally separate Thunderird accounts and passwords.

Question on Oratab file when installing two Oracle instances in one machine

OS: AIX 5.3
DB version:10.2.0.1.0
I already have an instance of version 9.2 which is very important and which we don't want to upgrade and we wanted another test(unimportant) oracle instance called testdb_10gR2 of version 10.2.0.1.0 on the same machine.
So i installed 10.2.0.1.0 on a different ORACLE_HOME .Installation of the new 10.2.0.1.0 (testdb_10gR2) went ahead successfully and at the last step i have to log in as root and execute root.sh
I entered 'n' for the options "dbhome", "oraenv", "coraenv" as shown below so that the settings for our 9.2 instance (which is very important) will remain intact.
What would have happened if i entered 'y' ie. Overwrite ?
The following environment variables are set as:
ORACLE_OWNER= oracle
ORACLE_HOME= /u04/testdb_10gR2_Feb2009
Enter the full pathname of the local bin directory: [/usr/local/bin]: /usr/local/bin
The file "dbhome" already exists in /usr/local/bin. Overwrite it? (y/n) [n]: n
The file "oraenv" already exists in /usr/local/bin. Overwrite it? (y/n) [n]: n
The file "coraenv" already exists in /usr/local/bin. Overwrite it? (y/n) [n]: n
Entries will be added to the /etc/oratab file as needed by
Database Configuration Assistant when a database is created
Finished running generic part of root.sh script.
Now product-specific root actions will be performed.

'dbhome','oraenv','coraenv' are sripts used to set a proper environment (see the descriptions at the beginning of these scripts). These scripts rely on oratab (they check for existing SIDs), but answering 'Y' does not mean you will modifiy an existing oratab.
I think these scripts change rarely, so it's very likely overwriting the existing 9i scripts with the 10g scripts changes nothing. To be honest I don't use the scripts , so in my case 'Y' or 'N' doesn't matter. But important is you don't have to worry about 'oratab'.

if not please suggest me a way to make this work.
Please help me out
Thanks.

Hello,
While it is possible to share the MDS schema,
you have to create one BIPLATORM schema for each instance you install !

2 Portal Instances on Same Server

I am trying to create a second portal instance in a separate database on the same server. The 9iAS lives on another server. I have already successfully got the first portal up and running with web browser access. However, I'm not sure how to get the second portal up and running with that ssodatan script.
I tried specifying a separate port (7778) in that script and started a second port listening in httpd.conf, but this doesn't work. I also tried specifying a separate port and separate url (like portal302 and portal302_sso) in the http parts of that script, but this didn't work either.
Each portal has it's own login server installed, so I don't want to associate both portals with a single login server.
Can someone help me??? Thanks.

Kathryn,
Presumably you installed both Portal instances in different schemas (i.e. Portal30 and Portal309 etc.). If so, then all you will have to do is run the ssodatan script against each, referencing the exact http address for each. Once you have done this you should be able to contact both from the same http port (i.e. port 80) by referencing them in the URL (i.e. http://www.foo.com/pls/portal30 and http://www.foo.com/pls/portal309.

Reusing a repository manager across multiple portal instances

Hi everyone
I am currently implementing a Enterprise Portal, including KM, for a customer. This customer is utilizing two portal instances, one for intranet-users, the other for extranet-users. I am not entirely sure why this approach was chosen, since it was made before I was assigned to this project.
This customer has an interesting requirement: that both portals will utilize the same file share as a KM repository. The idea is that intranetusers (i.e. salespeople etc) will create KM resources for customers. Resources belonging to a specific customer must not be accessible by other customers. Additionally, there may be documents which is only accessible by salespeople.
So far we have implemented automated creation of these resources, including setting the authorisation on folder, as well as file level. This works very well when working with a FSDB repository manager on the intranet server. The issue is that the authorisation settings are obviously not reflected on the extranet-portal, since we have not figured out a way of reusing the same repository manager on the other portal.
My question then is whether it is possible to create an FSDB repository manager on one of the portals and reuse it on the other. This would quite conveniently allows us to reuse authorisation settings across both portals.
Does anyone know whether this is possible at all?
If you need more info to answer this, do not hesitate to ask
Best regards,
Svein Gunnar Standnes

Hi Svein,
as I assume you know, if you use a CM Repository in FSDB mode folders and documents are stored in the file system, but metadata is stored in the database. Integrating a fileshare into two portals as a CM Repository in FSDB mode will lead to serious inconsistencies, as for example one document will have KM properties in one portal but no properties (or other) in the other, different version histories, and many more!
The only way to integrate in both portals a fileshare would be as a File System Repository Manager in <b>write-protect (read-only) mode</b>. If the repository is not read-only in such a scenario, concurrent updates to a file by different users on different installations can leave the content of the file in a corrupt state.
So to sum it up, in write mode I would definitely refrain from integrating the file share in two portals!
Hope this helps,
Robert

Installing two instances of the portal on the same server

Hello,
Our customer, wants a minimal version, and an enterprise version of the portal to be installed on the same server. We tried it but it doesn't work.
It is possible to install two versions on the same server?
Thanx,
Zsolt

Hope this is not a cluster. If it is not cluster, then you can have but make sure that both are different
SID id. You can have any number of multiple instances and there is no techincal issue in that.
I have, say X41 and X21 instances and both have thier own DB isntances..So both are independent.

How to install two instance on one server

Please suggest me how to installed without affcting IDES server.

Hi,
You only have to consider 2 things :
1. SAPTRANSHOST entry in hosts file will be the same for both systems
this mean that both systems will share the same transport directory
Regards,
Wojtek
This is not true. Your SAPTRANSHOST will remain the same, but you can (and should) specify independent trans directories with the DIR_TRANS and and EPS profile parameters to designate where the instance trans files should be located (i.e. /usr/sap/trans_SID). I recommend you make this change in the existing host first, and then clear out the trans directory. Let the 2nd instance install into it and then alter that one too (thereby moving the files to the new /usr/sap/trans_SID2).

How do I install two instances on the same Server and avoid a conflict?

Hi,
I have one Server and I want to install two instances of SQL Server on it.
1. Will be a default instance.
2. Will be a named instance.
The Server has an IP address of 192.168.0.10 and the default instance will be using port 1433.
I want them to share the same address, but be listening on different ports.
Do I,
1. Go into TCP/IP of the named instance and set the port numbers for all the IP's to a port number, e.g. 1976?
2. Delete the 0 from the dynamic ports sections?
3. Create an open port rule in the Windows Firewall to allow access to the Server?
Thanks

Hi,
Please see following Microsoft link
Configure SQL Server to listen on Specific port
Configure Windows firewall to allow SQL Server access

Is it possible to install Two iAS 6.5 SP2 instances on a single solaris box

Hi,
I have iPlanet Application server 6.0 SP2 installed on sun solaris 2.7.
Now, I want to install one more instance of iAS (same version) on the same solaris box. Just wondering, is it possible, because i think in case of Sun One Apps Server 7 its not possible.
If its possible, is there any specific configuration I have to make ?
Thanks in advance,
Prakash

Hello,
I think it is possible to have two instances of IAS 6.5 on one machine because last year I had similar situation with IAS 6.5 Enterprise - I instaled it twice and put them in cluster. Things were just fine.
Each creation of instance of app server meant new installation of IAS software in different install folder, where second one used Directory Server installed durring the first installation.
I remember that I had only one Directory Server installation where each IAS instance had its own space for configuration data (by specifying diferent name for "IAS global config params" during the installation) and different set of port numbers for IAS processes. Finnaly, I put these two instances in a cluster...
IAS 7.0 (Sun One App server 7.0) has different approach regarding creating and configuring several app server instances, because creating one more instance of app server doesn't mean another installation of software...

Can two Portal install share the same Ap Server?

Portal 3.0.9
Solaris 8
Hi All,
Is it possible to install two versions of portal on separate machines and configure it to share the same
application server where one of the Portals is installed?

Correction:
In my previous post I meant to say Apache HTTP Server
instead of Application Server.

Is it possible to install two SAP system with same SID but different instance numbers on one host?

Is it possible to install two SAP system with same system ID (SID) but different instance numbers on one host?
If yes, then how?
If no, then why?
Thanks in advance.

Sarim

Is it possible to install two SAP system with same system ID (SID) but different instance numbers on one host?
Yes, it is possible. If one is CI (PAS) and the second one is an AS (AAS). In this case there will be only one database.
If you are talking about two separate SAP systems with separate databases (Eg: A BI and an ECC) with the same SID then the problem will be with the database (Eg: Oracle)
The database will be installed under /oracle/SID/112_64 (ORACLE_HOME) unless one database is running on 10 G and in that case the ORACLE_HOME will be /oracle/SID/102_64
The next issue will be with the SAP file systems like /sapmnt/SID
The most important problem will be with the switch to the sidadm and orasid users and the conflicts there. If there is a need to stop one of the SAP systems and if you do a switch to sidadm and issue a stopsap command which system will be stopped ?
These are few of the many problems I can think of.
So if we are talking about two separate systems with their own databases I would rule out the possibility of having two systems with the same SID.

Two BI Systems connected to a single Portal instance?

Hello,
Is it possible to connect more than one BI system (7.0) to a single Portal instance? What would be required to do if that's the case? Thanks in advance for any information!
Cheers,
Hermann

Hi,
It is possible to add only one BI system to a single portal instance. This is because only one system object can be defined under portal as a BI master system.

Anjana
