Load balancer installation

Hello,
I need to know which load balancers are used to install for Hyperion products, specifically for 11.1.2.2?
When we install load balancer i.e before Hyperion EPM installation or After?
Plz help me.
Thanks&Regards,
P.sidhartha.

Thanks , but its a 10.2.0.5 installation doc, just wondered whether it would work for an 11.1.01. grid installation.
Kind regards

  • 7.10 installation server, load balancing and multiple installation servers

    Hi
    In the 7.10 GUI installation server, there is no Load balancing option anamore, also there seems to be no option to easily clone the installation server from within the nwsapsetupadmin.exe program.
    If having MANY users at one location, and needing more than one installation server to accomodate the frontend installations, do you need to do this "manually" now ? grouping users and and the logon script directing different user groups to different sapgui installation servers ?
    what about creating multiple installation servers easily, is it possible to simply copy the installation server directory (c:\sapinst f.ex.) to another file server, share the directory and configure the DS and IS services (if needed) ??
    will configured packages and "on end install" scripts and such be copied too to the new installation server ?
    I need to easily create installation servers in 15 countries, this is the reason for my question...

    Hi Kim Sonny,
    hope you're doing fine
    Regarding your question:
    The "Load Balancing" was more a fail-over service and wasn't intended to use for several locations like in your case.
    So the easiest way to do this is to setup one installation server and copy the files to the other servers. On the new Installation servers you only have to setup the service again and that's it.
    Cheers,
    Martin

  • Setting up Load Balancing / Clustering in BIP installation

    Hi,
    We're upgrading Siebel 7.8 to 8.1.1.5. As part of this process, we'll be replacing the two clustered Actuate Servers with two BI Publisher installations.
    We need BIP to behave like for like compared to Actuate (clustered / load balanced) but I cannot any detailed instructions on implementing Load Balancing / Clustering of BIP anywhere.
    We use a Loadbalancer.org appliance to balance the Siebel URL - my plan is to use this to support load balancing of the Web Services across the two BIP instances. However, I also need the two BIP installations to share the same repository.
    I've come across an Oracle White Paper (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bi-publisher/bip-cluster-deployment-366859.pdf) that states:
    The repository is shared among different servers in the cluster
    However, looking at the installation guide for Oracle BIP 10.1.x.x.x, there are no details on how to achieve this.
    Anyone know where to find documentation explaining, in detail, how to load balance multiple BIP servers to achieve the same level of high availability as we had with Actuate?
    Thanks in advance!

  • OCS 10g Cluster Installation  - Load Balancing

    Hi all,
    Anybody have sucessfully install and configure OCS 10g Cluster ?, with load balancing ?
    I'm trying to install OCS 10g cluster with a two node server setup, and using Oracle web Cache as the load balancer, but not sucessfull. Any hints ?
    Regards
    Lanang

    Just found out that Oracle Web Cache support HTTP and HTTPS only, no LDAP traffic yet. That why the cluster node installation failed. Trying using iptables NAT for the LDAP traffic, and the HTTP will use web cache.

  • APEX SSO and Load balancing: Could not determine workspace for application

    We had a single HTTP Server serving APEX in a 10.2.0.2 database configured with SSO to be used by the developers. APEX has been registered as a partner application and the login url has been CA Siteminder protected so that the SM_USER details are forwarded in the header for the application to use for authorization. Everything is fine so far.
    Now we have added a HTTP Server on another host and have it all set up for APEX and its pointing to the same database. APEX_ADMIN access works as normal, but applications previously using SSO now get the following error after entering the URL.
    Expecting p_company or wwv_flow_company cookie to contain security group id of application owner.
    Error ERR-7620 Could not determine workspace for application ().
    Using HTTP Watch I find that the application is not even trying to redirect to the login page.
    What is wrong here?

    APEX has been registered as a partner application as described in
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/howtos/sso_partner_app.html
    In the meantime I found metalink document 368746.1 which describes the cause of this problem. Please read carefully what I wrote, it all works when the the new APEX web server is turned off in the server farm on the load balancer and directed through the original web server. When running regapp.sql the hostname in the listener token was using the virtual hostname. This works fine if the request comes from the original APEX server which proofs that there is nothing wrong with the installation and set up of SSO. When directing the request to the new APEX web server the APEX_ADMIN page still works only existing work spaces using SSO don't seems to work anymore resulting in a error as described in the subject.
    As for metalink document 368746.1 naming the causes of this error:
    - there are no duplicate entries in WWSEC_ENABLER_CONFIG_INFO$
    -LISTENER_TOKEN clearly works for requests coming from the first web server
    -theoretically the web server listener port could be changed from 7777, but port 80 needs to be maintained here as production is mimiced as far down as possible.
    Is there some cache table which can be cleared? How is it that the flows schema (apex engine) can not find the work space when the request comes from a new web server which can however access the APEX_ADMIN pages.
    anyone?

    Hi  Ram ,
    For  troubleshooting your issue, please take steps as below:
    Just about any load balancing solution will work, including a server that runs the Web Server (IIS) role running Application Request Routing (ARR):Install
    Application Request Routing
    Install the certificate on the load balancer as described under Securing Office Web Apps Server communications by using
    HTTPS.
    Make sure you have configured the cluster correctly for full internet name:

  • Load Balance guest Internet access via two different DMZ zones at two sites

    Hi Sir,
    My customer has the following unified wireless guest access requirement:
    - There are 2 internet links and dmz zones at two different locations, Site A and Site B
    - Data centre is at Site A
    - WiSM is proposed to be installed at the Cat 6500 in Site A
    - Lightweight AP are distributed across Site A, Site B and other branches
    - Only one anchor WLC is proposed at Site A, DMZ zone to provide guest internet access
    My customer would like to load balance the guest via the two internet link at Site A and Site B but with the same SSID across all locations. Can it be done since only one anchor at Site A? How about puttting another anchor WLC at Site B, DMZ zone? But how can i establish two EoIP tunnel to two different anchor WLC from a single WiSM?
    Thanks for your help
    Delon

    You can... but you can't control where the traffic will flow. The wlc will determine which DMZ wlc it will use. The wlc will load balance, but traffic in site A might go to site B. I currently have deployed that senerio in multiple client installations....

  • RFC Sender (XI 3.0, SP14) Load Balancing doesn't work

    Hi all,
    We're "desperately" trying to use the Load Balancing option of RFC Sender Adapter (XI 3.0, SP14). It doesn't work.
    The Adapter can not register to the sender SAP server. But when we do not use the "Load Balancing" option, everything works well.
    We did follow the XI guidelines step-by-step. All necessary configurations in XI and in SAP sender system (TA: SM59) are "properly" done and reviewed by different experts several times.
    Do you have, by chance any running scenario using "Load Balancing" within a RFC Adapter? If yes, I would appreciate if you can share it with me. 
    Thanks a lot!
    Regards,
    Khaled

    Hello Khaled,
    the RFC sender adapter registers a program at the SAP Gateway. Load Balancing for the Sender Adapter means, that you have at least two J2EE server nodes within your XI installation. On all these server nodes the same RFC sender adapter is started and register the same program at the same gateway. The load balancing is then handled by the gateway. That means, that for the sender adapter the settings are the same, even if you use load balancing or not.
    The settings are, e.g.
    - SID=ABC
    - hostname=abchost (central instance, message server)
    - hostname=xyzhost (additional dialog instance of ABC)
    - instance nr=00
    application server (gateway): xi1host
    application server service (gw-service): sapgw00
    programm id: could be freely choosen
    The Metadata Repository could be connected using load balancing. Here a user need to log on to the system.
    The settings here must be:
    Message-Server: abchost
    Message-Server-Service: sapmsABC
    System-ID: ABC
    Logon-Group: e.g. PUBLIC; this logon group need to be created in system ABC using transaction SMLG
    For the RFC-Receiver Adapter the same settings as for the Metadata could be used.
    Keep in mind, that for the RFC Sender Adapter a RFC connection of type T must be created in transaction SM59 in system ABC.
    Rgds.,
    Andreas

  • Wgate Load Balancing Problem

    Hi Folks,
    We have ITS 6.20 Patch level 33 installed which connects to our R/3 system. We are trying to add multiple Agate servers (not multiple Agate processes) to one Wgate. We installed agates on two hosts, host1 and host2. We then installed wgate on host1 which we connected during the time of installation to agate on host2. It connected fine and we were able to get the webgui and also able to login to R/3 system. At that time we had problem in going to native ADM instance as we were getting http 500 error (we had re-installed ADM instance on both the hosts after the whole exercise of installating agate and wgate). Hoping that we can solve native ADM problem later, we added the the second agate which is on hosts1(the same host on which wgate is) by adding the entry for agate 2 in the wgate registry xml file.
    <key name="Agates">
          <key name="Agate1">
           <value name="Host" type="text">host2</value>
           <value name="PortAGate" type="text">sapavw00_******</value>
           <value name="PortMManager" type="text">sapavwmm_******</value>
           <value name="Type" type="text">1</value>
           <value name="SncNameAGate" type="text"/>
           <value name="SncNameWGate" type="text"/>
           <value name="MultiProcess" type="text">no</value>
           <value name="Available" type="text">yes</value>
          </key>
          <key name="Agate2">
           <value name="Host" type="text">host1</value>
           <value name="PortAGate" type="text">sapavw00_******</value>
           <value name="PortMManager" type="text">sapavwmm_******</value>
           <value name="Type" type="text">1</value>
           <value name="SncNameAGate" type="text"/>
           <value name="SncNameWGate" type="text"/>
           <value name="MultiProcess" type="text">no</value>
           <value name="Available" type="text">yes</value>
          </key>
    The second agate added fine and is doing load balancing as well as we can see requests getting routed to both the agate in the load balancing screen. However we are not able to access the global.srvc file under configuration->Performance->global services->All settings as we are getting the following message:
    Error loading service file "global.srvc"!
    Also when we go to services under configuration, we are getting a message "error accessing services directory!"
    In default R/3 system also all the fields are empty although we had given the application server details while installing both the agates.
    We are getting the below messages in diagnostics.log file:

    Please let me know if this procedure of adding the agate was wrong or there are some parameter settings that we may have missed. Would it have been better to go for a single host wgate+agate installation on host1 and then add agate2 on host2?

    Hi Edgar,
    Thanks for the reply. I had re-installed ADM instance on both the hosts after the whole exercise of installing agate and wgate.
    Anyways, Now we have uninstalled the earlier instances on both hosts and installed wgate+agate on host1 as a single host installation and agate2 on host2. Then we added agate2 to wgate1 and load balancing is working fine. Now the issue of not being able to access the service file and directories, etc has also been resolved. The only problem that remains is that we are not able to go into the native ADM. We get a http 500 error, although the redirect URL is correct. Is the any additional setting required for that to happen?

  • Load Balancing Reports Server

    I am supporting an app server for a Forms & Reports application that uses run_report_object to run reports on a Reports Server. This is on 10gR2 (10.1.2.0.2) on Solaris & Linux.
    Currently running multiple standalone Reports Servers on a single server (for 3 different projects). Need to prevent one project from affecting another as much as possible (yes, I know they are on the same box....).
    I have a requirement to ensure that a hanging Reports Server doesn't prevent other jobs from running. I see that Reports Server clustering is no longer an option. The Reports documentation about how to implement HA basically say just read the AS docs and figure it out. The problem is that using the AS J2EE HA means that you'd HAVE to use the Reports Servlet. Additionally, I don't see how the reports servlet could be called so that more than one Reports server would be used.
    I keep hearing about an impending doc about implementing HA on Reports. When is it coming?
    Future environments will be multiple AS installs on separate boxes accessing a RAC DB.
    So, what's the scoop? How can I implement this?
    So, here are my questions:
    1. (Two Servers) I believe I could do this on two servers if I had the same Reports Server name on each. If so, could I have two OC4J containers on each server both with the same mount point for the rwservlet application? What else would I need to do to tell OHS to load balance between both since they have the same name.
    2. (Two Servers) If 1 above is okay, would it be possible to have two OC4J containers point to two different standalone Reports Servers?
    3. (One Server) Can I start up multiple Reports Servers on same box with the same name (I'm pretty sure this is no :-) )
    4. (One Server) Like 2 above except on a single server. Two independent OC4J containers accessing two different servlets. Each has a default Reports Server setup. URL would look the same from each.
    I'm kind of graping for straws here on how to move ahead. I'm surprised the Reports Server clustering was taken away, but I suspect it is because the underlying Visibroker architecture was changed and there weren't the resources required to redo this. I'm not sure that is a good thing.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    :-) Steve

    Say you have two servers where you configured Reports, i.e. either in full Enterprise Edition or in AS10g Forms&Reports standalone.
    For example:
    ServerA.oracle.com with port 7777
    ServerB.oracle.com with port 7777
    Without using a load balancer you would call a Report with:
    http://ServerA.oracle.com:7777/reports/rwservlet?report=test.rdf&userid=scott/tiger@orcl&destype=cache&desformat=htmlcss
    http://ServerB.oracle.com:7777/reports/rwservlet?report=test.rdf&userid=scott/tiger@orcl&destype=cache&desformat=htmlcss
    Now you put a load balancer in front of them and assign it the virtual name:
    reports.oracle.comNow you can call Reports with this URL:
    http://reports.oracle.com:7777/reports/rwservlet?report=test.rdf&userid=scott/tiger@orcl&destype=cache&desformat=htmlcss
    To make it more interesting you create a specific Reports Server on ServerA called repserver_a and on ServerB: repserver_b. You add them into Enterprise Manager with:
    $OH/bin/addNewServerTarget.sh repserver_a (on ServerA and with repserver_b on ServerB). You might need to reload opmnctl and emctl with:
    opmnctl reload
    emctl reloadIn $OH/reports/conf you add this line at the end (use server=repserver_b on ServerB) :
    reporting: userid=scott/tiger@orcl destype=cache desformat=htmlcss server=repserver_a %* You'll call your Reports with this URL:
    http://reports.oracle.com:7777/reports/rwservlet?reporting&report=test.rdf
    Good luck!

  • Load Balancing Directory Servers with Access Manager - Simple questions

    Hi.
    We are in the process of configuring 2 Access Manager instances (servers) accessing the same logical LDAP repository (comprising physically of two Directory Servers working together with Multi-Master Replication configured and tested) For doing this, we are following guide number 819-6258.
    The guide uses BigIP load balancer for load balancing the directory servers. However, we intend to use Directory Proxy Server. Since we faced some (unresolved) issues last time that we used DPS, there are some simple questions that I would be very grateful to have answers to:
    1. The guide, in section 3.2.10 (To configure Access Manager 1 with the Directory Server load balancer), talks about making changes at 4 places, and replacing the existing entry (hostname and port) with the load balancer's hostname and port (assuming that the load balancer has already been configured). It says that changes need not be made on Access Manager 2 since the LDAPs are in replication, and hence changes will be replicated at all places. However, the guide also states that changes have to be made in two files, namely AMConfig.properties, and the serverconfig.xml file. But these changes will not be reflected on Access Manager 2, since these files are local on each machine.
    Question 1. Do changes have to be made in AMConfig.properties and serverconfig.xml files on the other machine hosting Access Manager 2?
    Question 2: What is the purpose of putting these values here? Specifically, what is achieved by specifying the Directory server host and port in AMConfig.properties, as well as in serverconfig.xml?
    Question 3. In the HTTP console, there is the option of specifying multiple primary LDAP servers, as well as multiple secondary LDAP servers. What is the purpose of these? Are secondary servers attempted when none of the list in the primary list are accessible? Also, if there are multiple entries in the primary server list, are they accessed in a round robin fashion (hereby providing rudimentary load balancing), or are other servers accessed only when the one mentioned first is not reachable etc.?
    2. Since I do not have a load balancer setup yet, I tried the following deviation to the above, which, according to me, should have worked. If viewed in the HTTP console, LDAP / Membership / MSISDN and Policy configuration all pointed to the DS on host 1. When I changed all these to point to the directory server on host 2 (and made AMConfig.properties and serverconfig.xml on host 1 point to DS of host 2 as well), things should have worked fine, but apparently Access manager 1 could not be started. Error from Webserver:

    In effect, AM on 1 did not start. On rolling back the changes, things again worked like previously.
    Will be really grateful for any help / insight / experience on dealing with the above.
    Thanks!

    Update to the above, incase anyone is reading:
    We setup a similar setup in Windows, and it worked. Here is a detailed account of what was done:
    1. Host 1: Start installer, install automatically, chose Directory server, Directory Administration server, Directory Proxy server, Web server, Access Manager.
    All installed, and worked fine. (AMConfig.properties, serverconfig.xml, and the info in LDAP service, all pointed to HOST1:389)
    2. Host 2: Start installer, install automatically, chose Directory server, Directory Administration server, Directory Proxy server, Web server, Access Manager.
    All installed, and worked fine. (AMConfig.properties, serverconfig.xml, and the info in LDAP service, all pointed to HOST2:389)
    3. Host 1: Started replication. Set to Master
    4. Host 2: Started replication. Set to Master
    5. Host 1: Setup replication agreement to Host 2
    6. Host 2: Setup replication agreement to Host 1
    7. Initiated the remote replica from Host 1 ----> Host 2
    Note that since default installation uses abc.....xyz as the encryption key, setting this to same was not an issue.
    9. Started webserver for Host 1 and logged into AM as amadmin.
    10. Added Host 2 FQDN in DNS Aliases / Realms
    11. Added http://HOST2_FQDN:80 in the Platform server (instance) list.
    12. Started Host 2 webserver. Logged in AM on Host 2, things worked fine.
    At this stage, note the following:
    a) Host 1:
    AMConfig.properties file has
    com.iplanet.am.directory.host=host1_FQDN
    and
    com.iplanet.am.directory.port=389
    serverconfig.xml has:
    <Server name="Server1" host="host1_FQDN" port="389" type="SIMPLE" />
    b) Host 2:
    AMConfig.properties file has
    com.iplanet.am.directory.host=host2_FQDN
    and
    com.iplanet.am.directory.port=389
    serverconfig.xml has:
    <Server name="Server1" host="host2_FQDN" port="389" type="SIMPLE" />
    c) If one logs into AM, and checks LDAP servers for LDAP / Policy Configuration / Membership etc services, they all contain Host2_FQDN:389 (which makes sense, since replica 2 was initialized from 1)
    Returning back to the configuations:
    13. On Host 1, login into the Admin server console of the Directory server. Navigate to the DPS, and confgure the following:
    a) Network Group
    b) LDAP servers
    c) Load Balancing
    d) Change Group
    e) Action on-bind
    f) Allow all actions (permit modification / deletion etc.).
    g) any other configuations required - Am willing to give detailed steps if someone needs them to help me / themselves! :)
    So now, we have DPS configured and running on Host1:489, and distributing load to DS1 and DS2 on a 50:50 basis.
    14. Now, log into AM on Host 1, and instead of Host1_fqdn:389 (for DS) in the following places, specify Host1_fqdn:489 (for the DPS)--
    LDAP Authentication
    MSISDN server
    Membership Service
    Policy configuation.
    Verified that this propagated to the Policy Configuration service and the LDAP authentication service that are already registered with the default organization.
    15. Log out of AM. Following the documentation, modify directory.host and directory.port in AMConfig.properties to point to Host 1_FQDN and 489 respectively. Make this change in AMConfig.properties of both Host 1 as well as 2.
    16. Edit serverconfig.xml on both hosts, and instead of they pointing to their local directory servers, point both to host1_FQDN:489
    17. When you start the webserver, it will refuse to start. Will spew errors such as:

    Success!
    The server https-host1_FQDN has started up.
    The server infact, didn't start up (nothing even listening on 58080).
    However, if AMConfig.properties is left as it originally was, and only serverconfig.xml files were changed as mentioned above, web servers started fine, and things worked all okay. (Alright, except for some glitches when viewed in /amconsole. If /amserver/console is accessed, all is good. Can this mean that all is still not well? I am not sure).
    So far so good. Now comes the sad part. When the same is done on Solaris 9, things dont work. You continue to get the above error, OR the following error, and the web server will refuse to start:
    Differences in Solaris and Windows are as follows:
    1. Windows hosts have 1 IP and hostname. Solaris hosts have 3 IPs and hostnames (for DS, DPS, and webserver).
    No other difference from an architectural perspective.
    Any help / insight on why the above is not working (and why the hell does the documentation seem so sketchy / insecure / incorrect).
    Thanks a bunch!

  • Load Balancing Forms Services with an effective healthcheck

    I am in the process of configuring two forms 11.1.2 servers running with weblogic 10.3.5 with multiple forms applications clustered across both physical servers. We are looking to load balance to the various forms applications using a hardware load balancer. Can anyone comment on their experience with setting up effective application healthchecks using either hardware or software load balancers?
    For example say that we have 3 applications clustered across 2 servers with the following
    URLs:
    http://server01:7777/forms/frmservlet?config=myapp1
    http://server01:7777/forms/frmservlet?config=myapp2
    http://server01:7777/forms/frmservlet?config=myapp3
    http://server02:7777/forms/frmservlet?config=myapp1
    http://server02:7777/forms/frmservlet?config=myapp2
    http://server02:7777/forms/frmservlet?config=myapp3
    We would need a checking mechanism on the load balancer that could tell if myapp2 was down on say server01 and therefore block traffic to that application yet keep traffic open for the other 2 apps on the same server.
    A specific difficulty with forms is that when the database behind the application is down forms services will return an error message within a displayed error form. From the load balancer's point of view the forms services are "up". We need to find a way of detecting that the application is actually available and not just that the forms services themselves are available. To detect that the forms services are available we might normally use the status check:
    http://server01:7777/forms/frmservlet?ifcmd=status
    however this will only tell use the availability of the forms services on a physical server and not whether any actual applications are available.
    I am aware that f5 do a BIGIP offering that includes some Oracle Forms specific components. Can anyone comment on how they have setup Oracle Forms healthchecks using various load balancing methods. In particular if a load balancer is limited to using WGET commands to check HTTP returned content is there a way of checking a forms application's availability and if not how have other people achieved an effective healthcheck?
    Many thanks,
    Philippe

    Did you ever Get this to work?
    I am having some problems trying to load balance with Oracle Forms, Discover and reports Oracle Application Server Release 10g (9.0.4.0.2) and I was wondering if you could help. Has any one ever got this to work consistently? We are an ERP product written mostly in forms (904) and are trying to implement are largest customer there performance issue so we need the load balancing to work. Will also accept other recommendation as cost effective as solutions.

  • Load balancing 10g forms - Connection from new browser window not supported

    Load balancing 10g forms - Connection from new browser window not supported
    We're experimenting with using webcache to load balance between multiple applications servers running OC4J forms processes.
    We currently have one machine with infrastructure and mid-tier (BI & Forms) installed, which is being used for the webcache functionality, this is load balancing between 2 other servers each of which just have the mid-tier (BI & Forms) installation
    In order to get this to work, I had to follow the instructions in the Forms deployment guide : http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_11/web.1012/b14032/tuning.htm#sthref707
    The main gist of this is that you need to set the following in the orion-web.xml file in order that the sessions are maintained:
    <session-tracking
    cookies="enabled">
    </session-tracking>
    This all works fine in most cases.
    The problem I am having is if I do one of the following on the client machine:
    1) From IE6 / IE7 run a copy of a forms application. Then open a new window using the "New Window" menu option, and attempt to run another forms application.
    2) In IE7 or Firefox 2.0 open a copy of the forms application, and then open a new tab and try and open another forms application.
    If I try either of these I get a FRM-92101 error, and the following is displayed in the java console:
    oracle.forms.net.ConnectionException: Connection from new browser window not supported
    From trawling various forums (including metalink and otn) it looks like a problem with the way coockies are handled.
    Unfortunately the usual workaround is to ensure that the session tracking option in the orion-web.xml file is disabled.
    The problem is that I need this enabled in order for the load balancing to work.
    Does anyone know of any other workarounds or patches that might help resolve this?
    We're using Application server 10.1.2.0.2 running on windows 2003 servers.

    You were right. Carriage returns were stopping it from working (the document is laid out over separate lines, so I assumed it would make no difference...).
    I've now managed to get it so the forms at least run, but they are all being run in the forms OC4J instance on the same machine as the OHS.
    Has anyone actually managed to get this to work, or am I doing something wrong?
    I did wonder if using an OHS instance on a machine with no forms installation would make any difference?
    I had raised a support call via metalink on this subject, but they eventually came to the conclusion that the only way to do this is with a hardware load balancer (Despite several documents suggesting that webcache is the way to go (including the forms deployment manual)).
    I'm at the point now of giving up and writing some custom scripts to do the job instead...

  • Load Balancing & Fault tolerance in Oracle Apps

    Hello
    I am pretty new to Oracle Apps and Oracle 9iAS
    We are trying to asked to find out the ways of deplying load balancing and fault tolerance in Oracle Apps
    I have gone thru the following articles of metalink and some more from google
    Configuring Web Cache as a Load Balancer for Application Servers
    Create new middle tier node in existing Apps 11i environment using cloning and then load balance
    Integrating and using Web Cache with Forms 9i for Load Balancing
    Running Multiple OC4J Instances From a Single Install of 9iAS 1.0.2.2
    LOAD BALANCING ORACLE APPLICATIONS ON UNIX
    Load Balancing in 11i
    OC4J Clustering Setup
    OC4J Load Balancing for Forms 9i
    Setting up 11i E-Business suite using a hardware load balancer
    Sharing an APPL_TOP in Oracle Applications 11i
    In Oracle Apps Concepts pdf, found that
    Load balancing occurs when there are multiple installations of web server, forms server, reports server, concurrent manager server etc
    Lets consider forms server component of middle tier
    Can there be multiple INSTANCES of forms server within SINGLE INSTALLATION ???
    If it has to be MULTIPLE INSTALLATIONS, then it will require multiple physical machines
    What is software load balancing then ???
    Also read that
    Oracle 9i AS instance is combition of Oracle HTTP Server (OHS) and one or more instances of Oracle9iAS Container for J2EE (OC4J)
    Thus software load balancing can be implemented for Web server component of middle tier using multiple instances of OC4J ???
    Forms metrix server configuration is hardware load balancing ??
    What about Oracle9iAS Web Cache clustering ??
    Please clarify the doubts and suggest me the way
    Thanks a lot

    dear all can any one help me on the following;
    We want to install Oracle Apps 11.5.9 on 4 IBM AIX 5L boxes, the first node
    will hold the database , concurrent and Admin Tiers. as for the other 3 nodes
    it will hold the Forms/Web Tiers and we need to use forms metrics for load
    balancing taking into consideration that we can't use Shared APPL_TOP. we tried
    to find the way how to install and configure this solution but all the
    documents are talking aboout the concept only and this concept is applicable.
    We need the exact steps on how do the installation either using rapidwiz or any
    thing else
