Load balancing and clustering for SQL SERVER ANALYSIS SERVER instances to access large number of concurrent users for bi site

HI
how to do analysis server clustering
we have sharepoint bi site and we published many dashboards pointers ,filters kpis
and at a time some 200 to 300 concurrent users access these dashboards pages
so for maintain this requirement how we apply clustering for ssas intances
and also it has load balancing
adil

Hi Adil,
According to your description, you want to implement SQL Server Analysis Services Clusster and Analysis Services Load Balancing, right?
In SSAS, we can design highly available solutions in Analysis Services by using: network load balancing (NLB) technologies, failover clustering technologies, or both. For the details about implemention, please refer to the links below.

Get the number of concurrent users for a WD application

Hi all,
I need to implement a method which counts the number of concurrent users for a Web Dynpro application.
Say I have a portal with X applications, is there API that can tell me how many users are working on specific application?
I know that this line of code
IWDClientUser currentUsers[] = WDClientUser.getClientUsers();
will get me the number of users that are working on ALL Web Dynpro applications. Is there a way of getting it for specific application?
I thought of using a text file/small DB table that set/get the number of users but I think it will cause overhead issues.
Any ideas how to implement it?
Thanks,
Omri

Hi Omri,
Try using WDServerState.getActualApplications() method.It returns array of actual running applications.Compare ur application name with the array elements and keep a counter for matching elements.
String app[]=WDServerState.getActualApplications();
    for(int i=0;i<app.length;i++)
          view.getComponent().getMessageManager().reportSuccess(
           app<i>);

Load balancing and clustering in sharepoint

Hi,
Still i am confuse about load balancing with cluster in sharepoint level.please let me know how to install and troubleshoot,how it is work, Advantage, etc..

Hi Inguru,
Per my knowledge, SharePoint only supports Load balancing and SQL support clustering.
Here is a similar thread for you to take a look:

Load Balancing and Clustering

How can I connect to my cluster rather than a single
server in the cluster? I have 3 instances of WLS running on the same machine, and I can connect to these three servers separately (the login.jsp page). However, when I shutdown one of them, the page cannot be displayed, which means that I was connected to the server and not the cluster.
To understand it better following is the configuration details which i am having:
1. Admin Server running on 7001 port.
2. Three server instances(Trade1,Trade2,Trade3) are running on TradeCluster having same ip address (127.0.0.1) and different port number 8001,8011,8021 respectively.
3. Trade application can be accesses via (127.0.0.1:8001 or 127.0.0.1:8011 or 127.0.0.1:8021) separately.
If server Trade1 is getting down in that case 127.0.0.1:8001 is showing "page can not be displayed". I tried to use "HttpClusterServlet" for load balancing but it was not working. How i can access application through ome common URL and how can a configure load balancing.
Can anybody help me find out what I might have missed.
TIA

How to get Maximum Number of Concurrent users for last few days?

Hi,
How I can get maximum number of concurrent users which were logged in to the system (ECC 5.0) I mean I want to check the hostory for last few weeks. Is there any way to get the same? I know that I can get Cumulative number of users in st03 under Expert mode but that is the number of users logged into the system during the day. Is there any place where SAP maintians the High Watermark of Number of concurrent users reached in the system?
Thanks in advance...
Regards,
Pravin

Sorry I really missed that I have posted a question here on sdn. I wanted to know this for planning the system hardware requirements. Activities like PM ( Performance Management ) happens once a year and during that activity we see heavy user loan on the system so if I have the exact stats of 1 or 2 years data I can size the system better next time. Fortunately last 2 years PM was very smooth for us. In that look for the improvement because each time we had little extra Harware. By doing the exact analysis we can save a Cost of ownership...
I was looking for R/3 users. I could see the number in st07 but I want to know the exact number at particular time.. I believe that st07 stores only for few days.
Thanks

Load balancing and clustered MDBs using a Queue

With the following advice/information from
          http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs61/faq/jms.html#252978,
          "One customer had an example where topic MDBs are needed in which there will
          be multiple implementations of the MDBs listening on the same topic. In
          other words, more than one MDB with a different implementation may be
          subscribing to the same topic. The client has no advanced way of knowing how
          many different kinds of MDBs may be listening on the same topic, but it is
          possible for there to be more than one listener, therefore topics, not
          queues. For each kind of MDB listening on the topic, the message is
          delivered exactly once (i.e., the message will be delivered exactly once to
          an instance in each named MDB pool listening on the topic)."
          If I have a set of MDB's scraping Messages from the JMS Queue, what is the
          load-balancing behavior?
          1) Consider a lightly-loaded system, where each MDB has sufficient time to
          process the message before the next one shows up in the queue. Will the same
          MDB get all the messages?
          2) Consider a heavily-loaded system, where each MDB has insufficient time to
          process the message before the next one shows up in the queue. How would you
          characterize the de facto load-balancing behavior? least-loaded?


Have you tried the SAP WebDispatcher. This should acomplish what you want.

For a true load balancing and high-availability OHS, OPMN, and mod_oc4j

i have read this link of Enabling Clustering on oc4j9.0.4 standalone app server
http://www.oracle.com/technology/docs/tech/java/oc4j/htdocs/getstart.htm#1015479
To test the clustering, start up the load balancer by executing "java -jar loadbalancer.jar".
C:\OC4J_EXTENDED\j2ee\home>java -jar loadbalancer.jar
In a future release of Oracle Application Server, loadbalancer.jar will be
desupported. Because of this, we strongly suggest that you discontinue your use
of loadbalancer.jar in this release. Under high loads, loadbalancer.jar may not
function properly. For a true load balancing and high-availability solution,
please move to use OHS, OPMN, and mod_OC4J. For more information, please see

Query on Clustering,Load Balancing and Dehydration in Oracle BPEL PM

Hi,
I had a Few queries on Dehydration ,Clustering and Load Balancing:
1) In section 5.1 "Use Case for Asynchronous Web Services",insertion of a dehydration point is mentioned.What do you exactly mean by this.Can a dehydration point be inserted explicitly?OR we have to put a wait activity or something so that dehydration happens?
2) If a dehydration point needs to be inserted explicity arent we assuming that the invoke-reply will take long?But this might not be the case always.Is is a lso possible that an asynchronous process is not a long running one.
3) Can we configure administratively ,how much time the process (say 10 seconds or so)waits after which it gets dehydrated?
4) Consider a load balancing scenario,where we have 2 BPEL PM's (PM1 and PM2) running on 2 different App Servers (SRV1 and SRV2)in an clustered environment.
Scenario:
1)We have an asynchronous process which makes a call to a human task activity.
2)A request from client comes for this process.
3) The load balancing server forwards it to PM1 on SRV1.PM1 processes the request and calls the human task.
4) PM1 has not dehydrated the process.
5) The response from the Human User comes back to the Load Balancer before the process is dehydrated by PM1.It forwards this response to PM2.PM2 searches for the Process based on the Cor-relation ID and does not find it.
Can you tell me how this scenario is handled?
I would be grateful if someone can answer these queries or direct me to some place where it is already explained.
Thanks
Dileep

1) In section 5.1 "Use Case for Asynchronous Web Services",insertion of a dehydration point is mentioned.What do you exactly mean by this.Can a dehydration point be inserted explicitly?OR we have to put a wait activity or something so that dehydration happens?
Insert a java snippet with "checkpoint();"
3) Can we configure administratively ,how much time the process (say 10 seconds or so)waits after which it gets dehydrated?
No, this is due to the performance of your database.

Load Balancing and WLS primary server offset

I've got a load balancer in front of my WLS cluster, and I'm trying to
          set up load balancing based on WLS clustering. What I need to know to
          do this is the offset within the cookie that's responsible for
          determining which machine within the cluster to direct to.
          Any idea how I can get this information?
          thanks,

          In Memory session replication doesn't work without our plugins. I will have to
          do little bit of investigation to figure out if other persistence mechanism's
          would work without our plugins if you are interested in them. I have to remind
          you though that other types of persistence mechanism's we support are slower
          compared to in memory session replication.

          Currently none. We are taking steps to make the plugin's and cluster more
          robust, we currently don't have any plans to work with other 3rd party vendors.

          This information is saved in the cookie. But I wouldn't count that, as we
          have plans to change this. I cannot give your more details.

          I don't quite get what you mean here.
          Hope this helps.

Network Load Balancing and failover for AFP Sharing

Dear all,
Somebody kindly teach me to use round robin DNS to perform the network load balancing, it's success but not the failover.
I have 4 xserve and want to do the load balancing and failover at the same time.
I have read the IP failover document and setup it successfully, but anyone know is it possible to do the IP failover for more than 2 server?
For example, 4 server serving the AFP service at the same time, maybe I have 1 more extra server to do the IP failover for thoese 4 servers.
As I know, IP failover require Firewire as the heartbeat detection. But one xserve only have 2 firewire ports. May I setting up the IP failover only by a ethernet port and an IP address? does it possible to detect and failover to any server after server down has been detected?
I believe load balancer maybe the best solution but its cost is too high.
Thanks any advance!
Karllee

well, u have 2 options here
software load balancing
request comes it foo.com -> ws7u2 hosting foo.com is configured to run as reverse proxy . this server sends any incoming requests to one of the four back end web server 7 handling your incoming request
hardware load balancing (this you need to invest)
request comes to hardware load balancer who responds for foo.com -> sends requests to four ws7 server hosting your application
you could try out how software load balancing works out for you before you invest in hardware load balancing
here is more instruction on configuring ws7 + reverse proxy (software load configuration)
- install ws7 on foo.com
- create a new configuration (choose port 80, disable java

VPN load balancing and ASA !!!

Hi netpros,
I have a couple of questions about this and hope you might be able to assist me.
1.- Are VPN load balancing and failover (Active/Active) mutually exclusive ..? I mean they can't be used at the same time correct ..?
2.- How does the ASA handle the return traffic from the Internal LAN towards the remote client .. Because the cluster only requires ONE public virtual IP address, which will work for incoming packets .. but what about the return traffic which has knowledge of the DHCP scope's default gateway IP address only .. ? How gets the returned packet redirected from the default gateway IP address to the respective ASA internal IP address .?
3.- VPN load balancing only applies to remote clients using easy VPN technology (easy vpn client, hardware client , pIX using easy vpn client etc ) and does not work with static LAN-LAN tunnel .. correct ..?
Your comments are much appreciated

Hi Gilbert ..
1.- Thanks I wanted to make sure.
2.- I know that .. my question is in regards the return packets .. for example if I have the below IP schema:
ASA1: Public 20.20.20.20
Private 192.168.1.1
ASA2: Public 20.20.20.21
Private 192.168.1.2
Cluster virutal IP: 20.20.20.10
Default gateway for segment 192.168.1.0 is 192.168.1.1
Let's say that a vpn client tries to connect and the cluster instructs the client to connect to ASA2 20.20.20.21. The packets reach the internal server at 192.168.1.100. The internal server then sends the return packets back to the client by forwarding them to its default gateway which is 192.168.1.1 (ASA1). Here is my question .. how does the cluster handles this because the return packet are supposed to be directed to ASA2 192.168.1.2
3.- Any idea about this one ..?
Cheers,

Load balancing and rfc metadata repository in reciever rfc communication ch

hi.
i want to know the purpose of load balancing and rfc meta data repository in RFC communication channel.
and can u send me any examples on this load balancing.
waiting for your response.
bye.
regards.
seeta ram.

Hi Seeta Ram,
Load distribution is handled by the message server (there is one message server in an SAP System). When a user logs on, the message server assigns him or her to the application server that currently has the <b>smallest load</b>.
Well now you can understand that we use load balancing for better performance by distributing the work to different processes to balance or maintain the work load in SAP system.

Advantages of using a webserver inbetween a load balancer and application servers

I am building out a new weblogic domain.
I am wondering which one of these configuration to go with:
1. Load balancer > weblogic servers
2. Load balancer > web server > weblogic servers
Could someone tell me what are the specific advantages of having web servers inbetween a load balancer and application servers (besides caching static data content and acting as a proxy)?
Thanks in advance
Srini

Other than hosting the static content, nothing much really. We have our load balancer go straight to WL for applications without static content and route to web server if there is static content. Easy enough to do it both ways, best of both worlds.

Load balancing and High Availability topology

Our Forms 6i client-server application currently runs on Citrix farm of 20 Windows 2000 boxes (IBM Blade Servers 2 CPU and 2 Gig Memory).
Application supports 2000 users.
We are moving to AS 10g r2, forms 10g and the goal is to use same hardware, 20 Windows boxes (or less), for intranet web deployment.
What will be our best choices for application Load balancing and High Availability?
Hardware load balancer, Web Cache, mod-oc4j? Combinations?
Any suggestions, best practices, your experience?

Gerd, I understand, that you are running 10g web forms through the browser, but using Citrix for deployment. This means that in addition to Application Server and Forms runtime sessions, it will be separate browser session opened for each user. What the advantage of this configuration?
Michael, we are aware, that Citrix is not supported by Oracle as a deployment platform. That only means that prior contacting Oracle Support we have to reproduce the problem in standard environment. It was never been a problem to reproduce problem :) We were using Citrix as a deployment platform for Forms 6i client/server for 4 years, but now we are forced to upgrade to 10g.
We are familiar with various Load balancing options available. The question is which option is the most "workable" in our case.

2 ISP load balancing and redundancy

Hello!!
Our small company has about 40 branches spreaded within city. Branches are connected by optic wire supplied by our ISP. So in ISP our branches are located in one VLAN. From every branch we created VPN tunnel to our server room in central office. Central office is like a cetner point. If optic wire fails to central office, there would no VPN tunnels and no network to all branches. Moreover, all the traffice goes through central office.
Now we decided to pave one more optic line to our central office. And that will increase bandwidth and redundancy.
Private network topology: There are no default gateways and ip-addresses. For examle, at first branch I will plug computer directly into media converter and at the second branch plug another computer to the media converter. After that this two computers became in one network. And can assign any ip addresses to them.
What I have: our firewall do enough work, don't want to overload it. But we have some free ports in our new cisco 3750. The question is how to do load balancing and redundanccy? Can it do load balancing according to traffic? And how load balance incoming traffic? For example, connection was established from branche's router, how this router will choose through which line make connection? By the way, at all branches we use noisy cisco
3700 series routers.

Sorry for upping 1 year old threat.
We talked to our Network Provider. They said "these two cables are coming from two different places, so there is no way to use etherchannel. You must use active-standby solution."
Relying on STP we just put two cables into 3750 stack. But with default STP settings, connection was very unstable, many packet losses and disconnections. So we found easy solution with "flex links", making one interface backup of the other. And only now I recognized that this is not a failover solution. Because, if network beyond media converter will down, link from media converter to switch would still up.
What could I do to make our L2 WAN redundant? Are there any additional STP settings.
