Load balancing in Oracle Reports 6 +

I had a document a while that outlined the basic (manual really) load balancing capabilities of reports server. I can't find the document on technet. Can someone direct me to the right place?
Thanks!
peter

A couple places:
1. An overview available in the "Advanced tips and techniques with Oracle Reports Server" whitepaper
2. Technical information now folded into the "Publishing Reports" manual - chapter 6 - with Reports 6i.

Functional load balancing in oracle RAC

Hi all,
Could anyone suggest how to setup functional load balancing in oracle RAC? Will there be any performance improvement in doing so? I implemented server side load balancing and the performance of INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE are very poor. Will functional load balancing be of any use? Please tell me the steps of how to implement functional load balancing?

Hi,
Load balancing will not necessary increase performance, it just distribute the load more evenly.
Is the DML statement only slow in specific instance?
To prove if there is problem with load balancing, have you tried connect to one instance and perform same DML statement? compare the result

Load Balancing Forms and Reports with Web Cache

We are planning to add a second OracleAS 10g middle-tier application server to an existing 10g middle-tier.
Both middle tiers will provide Forms and Reports.
Users must pass through two static HTML pages before starting Forms.
We plan to use Web Cache to load-balance (probably using round-robin) between the two middle-tiers.
Does anyone see any problems with this solution?
All comments/suggestions welcome.
Thanks,
Jim

You could also load balance the two OC4J's using standard servlet mechanisms. I know that there exists a couple of good notes on Metalink. Go and do a search.

Load Balance Forms and Reports Services

Is it possible to Load Balance an application (written in Developer 9i) between
two computers running Oracle Application Server 10g (9.0.4) Forms and Reports Services ?
If it is possible, can anybody give an example or some kind of documentation, because
the product documentation is not clear.
Thanks in advance...

Yes it is possible, but it all depends on what is your definition of load balancing?? Do you mean hardware machine balancing or service availability??? this is a large territory and you have to be specific, you even have the RAC.
Oracle has [Oracle Application Server High Availability |http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_19/core.1012/b14003/toc.htm] and metalink Note:740202.1 explains in detail how to configure it.

Load Balancer on Oracle Identity Manager 9.1.0.2

Hello friends,
I have configured an environment Oracle Identity Manager 9.1.0.2 on 2 nodes in Oracle WebLogic Server 11g.
As I configured balancer Apache HTTP Server with Apache Proxy Plug-in, when loading the page through a web browser will not display the page of the web management console of Oracle Identity Manager.
Here the result after entering the web address below: http://192.168.1.10/xlWebApp :
(404 Not Found)
Not Found
The requested URL /xlWebApp was not found on this server.
Apache/2.0.63 (Unix) DAV/2 Server at 192.168.1.10 Port 80
Any suggestions for viewing the website of IDM through the load balancer Apache HTTP Server.
Very grateful for the support

httpd.conf is placed at /etc/httpd/httpd.conf, if you are using unix like systems. It's configuration file used by Apache http server. Paste its content to see what functions are configured.

Load Balancing for Oracle Release 11i

Hi there,
I am trying to find some recommendations on the need for load balancing in the middle tier for a 3 tier Oracle Release 11i implementation. Here are the questions that I have.
1. Is load balancing very common for a 11i implementation ?
2. What are the probable issues that one might encounter if there is no load balancing ?
3. If there is load balancing how many servers are generally used for the same ?
4. Do we only install Forms server on multiple servers or we install WebDB and Apache on all the servers ?
5. Is it true that Web servers are the most likely to be down and thus mandating the use of load balancing ? If that is true, would it be prudent to install Web Server and Form Server on each server m/c and in the process having redundant servers ?
Let me know your thoughts.
Thanks,
- Raj

I'm in the middle of doing this right now. There is a doc on metalink (233428.1) that details the process. I would highly recommend trying this in dev/test env first. Even though the instructions are very straight forward and not very complicated, I'm still having configuration issues.

Load balancing in Oracle RAC 11g (11.1.0.6.0)

Hi!
One of our customers use load balancing, now all users get connected against node 2.
--The configuration of load balancing will be correct I think, have worked before
--How do I verify the load on each node ?
--What can be wrong?
--Need help, what to check?
--tnsnames.ora looks like
X.world =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = X)(PORT = 1521))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = X)(PORT = 1521))
(LOAD_BALANCE = yes)
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = X.X.se)

Services
Traditionally an Oracle database provided a single service and all users connected to the same service.
A database will always have this default database service that is the database name.This service cannot be modified and will always allow you to connect to the database.
Do not use the default database service, create at least one service.
With Oracle Database 11g, a database can have many services (up to a maximum of 115 per database).
The services hide the complexity of the cluster from the client by providing a single system image for managing work. Applications and mid-tier connection pools select a service by using the Service Name in their connection data.

Cache and Load Balancing with Oracle APEX Listener

Hi,
I intend to use only HTTP access.
How to implement a Cache and Load Balancing with the Oracle APEX Listener?
Is it possible to do with the the standalone running APEX Listener?
Thanks by advance for any tips/documentation/references.

Load Balancing in Oracle AS10g

Hi all,
i have several applications deployed in my application server.
Each application is deployed in his OC4J Container
Application A is Deployed in OC4J Container - Container A
I have configured container A, so that it starts 4 processes (i.e. 4 jvm), has i understood, Container A should distribute the requests among these 4 processes.
Sometimes i have some "weird" situations:
Process ID Island Active Requests
8888 default_island 1
3276 default_island 1
7716 default_island 21
5856 default_island 1
I'm having 25 requests , load-balancing is leading to very bad response time...
Can you point me some direction so i can investigate further ??? how is the load-balancing algorith implemented ??? what config files should i look ?? some tip ???
my environment:
Hp DL580 server
Windows Server 2003
Oracle application server 10g ( 9.0.4)
Web application built with BC4J deployed in Application Server
Best Regards

Hi
I have read the article you suggested.
I don't have Oc4JSelectMethod specified in $ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Apache/conf/mod_oc4j.conf file
As far as i understand this directive tells ModOc4J , wich one of the OC4J Containers should be used to handle the request.
This is not my scenario, i have only one OC4J container for one Application
OC4J_ContainerA -> Application A
OC4J_Container B -> Application B
Not this one
OC4J_ContainerA -> Application A
OC4J_Container B -> Application A
What i need to understand is, inside one OC4J_Container , how is the distribution of requests among the several oc4j processes
Best Regards

Automatic load balance for oracle RAC

Hi there,
we have application, that use local oracle 9i database and every users use terminal application. That meaning, users do connect to hostname via terminal and invoke application.
We want migrate to RAC with cluster composed with 2 nodes. On every node must be
unique oracle_sid, but database is same on disk array.
My question is how configure users terminal profile which be comensatory automatic load balance .
Thanks

Hi,
This software simulates a real environment.
It creates a schema with tables, sequence, index, functions, etc..
Preferably in a client host it simulates several users (configurable) connecting to the database.
Then the test is simulated like in the real environment.
Check this:

Can any one please assist me how to check whether the incoming connections are evenly distributing across the nodes..?
We have two nodes, when we check the sessions counts in both nodes, Most of the time we could see node -1 has more no of sessions than node-2..? So just wanted to know whether load balancing is happening or not ...? If not how to enable it and distribute the incoming connections evenly..?

Enabling server-side load balancing with Oracle 10g RAC

Hi, all.
I created a RAC database on vmware by using DBCA.
By default, remote_listener and tnsname.ora have been configured.
The followings are part of dba_services from my RAC database.
NAME, GOAL, ENABLED, CBL_GOAL
SYS$BACKGROUND NONE NO SHORT
SYS$USERS NONE NO SHORT
DEVDB NO LONG
By default(created by DBCA), server-side load balancing is enabled for
the RAC database, DEVDB??
--> GOAL of DEVDB is null, but CBL_GOAL IS LONG.
After creating a RAC db by using "DBCA", do I need to do something
for server-side load balancing??
If so what I need to do?? How can I test it??
And what is beneficial in enabling server-side loadbalancing ??
Is it good in the real world??
Thanks for reading.
Best Regards.

I am having some problems trying to load balance with Oracle Forms, Discoverer 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.

I have more then half decent results with webcache as load balancer, but it still is a round robin (as mentioned before). This means that a session will not be transfered from one application server to the other once the session has been created.
So far I did not discover any benefits of a hardware loadbalancer over webcache, because (here it is again:) you are not able to transfer open sessions from one application server to the next. This has to do with the Oracle Forms architecture. In fact it is still client-server, only with the application server functioning as extra server ;)
