Load Balancing OBIEE using OC4J

Hi All,
I would like to know if there is a way of load balancing 2 instances of OBIEE using OC4J.
Please advice if possible and the steps required to achieve that.
A small correction ... we have 2 instance of OBIEE and 2 of stand alone of OC4J
Is there any way we can attempt to load balance the two???

I believe OC4J stand alone can do this but i dont know how
Is there any way we can attempt to load balance the two.

  • Cluster/load balance weblogic using L4 switch like Alteon

    Can I install weblogic as a standalone server on 2 or more server and
              cluster/load balance weblogic using a hardware balancer like Alteon Layer4
              switch (of course I will use a centralised storage to maintain a single copy
              of data which will eliminate syncronizing problem among servers)?
              BTW, Alteon can support persistent binding. The reason to use a Layer 4
              switch is that it is very fast, and this will make the application server
              layer transparent to client, the client can think this is a single server
              (it don't need to know whether there are 5 weblogic servers or 20 weblogic
              servers behind switch), and hardware are more reliable, sacalable and fast.
              I am not sure whether the normal weblogic clustered servers need to
              share/exchange info on the running memory, if it does, this approach will
              fail.
              

    So My understanding is:
              Alteon with WL 6.0 can do load balancing for:
              entity bean
              stateless session bean
              but can't do load balancing for:
              stateful session bean (will persistent/sticky binding solve part of the
              problem except fail-over)
              in-memory replication
              am I right?

  • Load balancing weirdness using NAT and same-metric route

    Hi.
    I'm trying to set up a double-WAN load-balancing scenario:
    I decided to attempt the "multiple same-metric routes with NAT" approach so I went for the example used in the IOS NAT Load-Balancing for Two ISP Connections Configuration Guide [1].
    I decided to use an upside-down Cisco 871-SEC/K9: use Vlan1 and Vlan2 for the routers and Fa4 for the LAN. I am hoping this is not an issue.
    There is this weirdness with some connections, particularly FTP. I pinpointed the problem to the following scenario: if I do a couple of pings to 100.1.1.1 using the FastEthernet4 as the source address, this is what I get in the logs:
    === PING 1 ECHO REQUEST ===
    *Mar 3 04:38:43.521: IP: tableid=0, s=192.168.60.4 (FastEthernet4), d=100.1.1.1 (Vlan1), routed via RIB

    *Mar 3 04:38:43.521: IP: s=10.129.124.2 (FastEthernet4), d=100.1.1.1 (Vlan1), g=10.129.124.1, len 60, forward
    *Mar 3 04:38:43.521: ICMP type=8, code=0
    === PING 1 ECHO REPLY ===
    *Mar 3 04:38:45.589: NAT*: s=100.1.1.1, d=10.129.124.2->192.168.60.4 [19824]

    *Mar 3 04:38:52.353: ICMP type=8, code=0
    === PING 2 ECHO REPLY ===

    *Mar 3 04:38:53.033: ICMP type=0, code=0
    In the section "Ping 2 Echo Request" line 2 shows the NAT translating the packet to the address for the first provider but line 3 shows it routing it through the second one.
    In this case, the ICMP packet goes through but it is problematic if the ISP restricts the service by source-address (like RPF) or there is some acceleration mechanism inside the provider cloud, other than just plain routing.
    What am I missing? Here is the relevant part of the configuration. I deliberately disabled CEF to be able to debug the messages, but I *think* this may be altering the actual router behavior. This router does not have a "debug ip cef packet" command.

    Hello.
    This might be a bug in debug command or the IOS (without ip cef) you use; as routing is done before NAT (inside to outside).
    To make sure it works fine with ip cef, just enable strict uRPF (or just ACL) on .1 and .33 interfaces and see if you see any packet sent over wrong interface.
    PS: please check "sh ip cef 100.1.1.1"; I guess ip cef would tell you "per-destination sharing".

  • Load balancing with use of router 881.

    Hello,
    I have two MPLS line and i want load balancing with the help of CISCO router 881. is it necessary that i require two router on both location.? if one location have firewall and one location have cisco router 881 then can i do a load balancing or i require two router each on both location ? What are the basic requirement that i need.
    Thanks,

    An 881 should be able to load share across multiple ports.  Many routing protocol support ECMP, including BGP, but you need "special" hidden/secret commands to enable.  EIGRP also supports unequal cost load sharing.
    If an 881 supports OER or PfR, those too will do unequal load sharing, dynamically.

    Using the ACE module, is it possibe to load balance the servers which are connected to the port which is configured as DMZ?
    Thanks

    does not matter where the servers are connected.
    However, be aware that the flows from client to server needs to go through the loadbalancer BUT also the flows server to client.
    So, you should be careful where you attach the ACE module.
    The easier would be to attach to the DMZ as well between the FW and the servers.

  • EIGRP load balancing when using HSRP on LAN

    Hi 
    I have a question about my topology. I have two routers  with EIGRP on both of them connected through 2 ISPs to other site. On those routers i have HSRP runing. Now my question is: HSRP is standby/active protocol so when one router act as active will it send data to other site only through one ISP??? will load balancing work on WAN side? will routers use both ISPs or just one- the one which is active in HSRP when sending data???

    Hi sotiris_pafitis, may be I didn't understand what you mean but if the idea is to configure one static on each router  (pointing it's ISP) and redistribute it in EGRIP, I disagree: is useless because the other router will prefer the static route due to its better administrative distance. Using EIGRP unequal load balancing is useless because  it balanced EIGRP path with different metric, not different Administrative distance. Isn't it ?
    If you want to use static route simply configure two static route on each router: one though WAN interface and the other through the LAN.
    For example:
    R1#conf t
    ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.13.3
    ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.12.2
    The result is:
    R1#sh ip route 0.0.0.0
    Routing entry for 0.0.0.0/0, supernet
      Known via "static", distance 1, metric 0, candidate default path
      Redistributing via eigrp 100
      Advertised by eigrp 100
      Routing Descriptor Blocks:
      * 192.168.13.3
          Route metric is 0, traffic share count is 1
        192.168.12.2
          Route metric is 0, traffic share count is 1
    In any case I think static router is not a good choice: in case of a fault on ISP 1, WAN interface can remain up producing a routing blackhole. If possible it's better to have a dynamic routing protocol between router and ISP, receving the default route and changing delay on interf to have the same metric for both  the path

    In my development environment both secure and non secure mode were working fine. Now when I have deployed it behind the load balancer(which accepts secure requests only and if the request is not secure it redirects it to secure url) there is no response from the message broker servlet. One thing more I have observed is when the environment is non load balanced there are request like 'http://{server.name}:{server.port}/{context.root}/messagebroker/http'. and these requests are post request. But in load balanced environment with ssl the request is again like 'http://{server.name}:{server.port}/{context.root}/messagebroker/http' which is a post request and it is redirected to 'https://{server.name}:{server.port}/{context.root}/messagebroker/http' which is a get request. The content returned by this get request is null.
    Looking for some comments
    Thanks
    Abhishek Gupta

    if the load balancing environment is already well configured, thes rest is very easy, there is no difference between a configuration of load balancing environment and a simple one, for you that is transparent, except the manual deployment and manual copying
    of files in the directory 15

  • Load-balance / autofailover using 2 ISPs

    Good morning.
    we have a T1 installed at our site and recently purchased a broadband connection from a different ISP. Our plan is to utilize both ISPs  to Load-balance our Internet and setup auto-failover in case either one fails.  We run exchange 2007 and host an ASP application so we can't afford to have our Internet disrupted.
    currently we have a 1841 cisco router for the T1 and we're trying to figure-out if we need to purchase an ASA Firewall to setup the auto fail-over / load balance system.
    Can you tell me which is the best way to do this and what equipment / model of cisco routers/  Firewalls do you recommend to implement this?
    Thanks,
    Collin

    Hi Collin -- We appreciate your post but, as this pertains to ISR 1841, think you'd be better served in the Cisco NetPro Forums.

  • How to control a Load Balanced set in IaaS VMs using Text files

    Hi,
    I would like to control the Load Balanced nodes Using a resource to probe like active.txt  in IIS than a Endpoint on the Management Portal.
    The reason i need this is because the engineers in my team will have access to VMs but not to Management servers.
    Any info on it is very helpful.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    You can Control the access to the Load Balanced Set by using Network ACL. A Network Access Control List (ACL) is a security enhancement available for your Azure deployment. An ACL provides the ability to selectively permit or deny traffic for a virtual machine
    endpoint. This packet filtering capability provides an additional layer of security. 
    Using Network ACLs, you can do the following:
    Selectively permit or deny incoming traffic based on remote subnet IPv4 address range to a virtual machine input endpoint. 
    Blacklist IP addresses
    Create multiple rules per virtual machine endpoint
    Specify up to 50 ACL rules per virtual machine endpoint
    Use rule ordering to ensure the correct set of rules are applied on a given virtual machine endpoint (lowest to highest)
    Specify an ACL for a specific remote subnet IPv4 address.
    Network ACLs can be specified on a Load balanced set (LB Set) endpoint. If an ACL is specified for a LB Set, the Network ACL is applied to all Virtual Machines in that LB Set. For example, if a LB Set is created with “Port 80” and the LB Set contains 3 VMs,
    the Network ACL created on endpoint “Port 80” of one VM will automatically apply to the other VMs.
    Hope this helps !

  • Load Balancing using Virtual IP on DMZ interface of 5520 ASA

    We want to achieve a load balancing scenario using Virtual IP on DMZ interface on a Cisco ASA 5520.
    The IPs we are going to use on DMZ are 10.15.1.2 and 10.15.1.3
    These IPs are going to be NATted to all inside IPs.
    Lets say our outside IP is X.X.X.X
    This IP points to 10.15.1.2 and 10.15.1.3 with .2 being the primary and .3 being the secondary.
    When I hit the outside IP, it should point me to .2 and that .2 should take me to the inside IPs.
    I need configuration assistance with that.

    Hi Pratik,
    The ASA does not support having 1 global/translated IP address on the outside mapped to multiple local/real IP addresses on the DMZ. If it did, the ASA would have no way of deciding if traffic destined to X.X.X.X is really meant for 10.15.1.2 or 10.15.1.3. For this scenario, you should use a dedicated load balancer or a router that supports policy-based routing.

  • Oc4j load balancing AS 101202

    Can anyone point me to some good documentation for configuring load balancing for oc4j instances?
    I've seen a lot on metalink, but all dated back to 2002. I was hoping there was some new documentation for 10gR2.
    I'm trying to load balance 3 webservice OC4J instances which each point to different API servers as the API servers themselves are single threaded.
    Thanks for the assistance,
    Tony

    Thanks for the post. We had a little difficulty getting enough specifics out of the documentation to answer all our questions. But opened a TAR and got a good engineer who worked with us to get a custom load balancing solution that is working very well for us.
    Thanks again,
    Tony
    For others out there that are interested, we ended up with a very simple load balancing setup that simply requires that the mod_oc4j.conf be modified to group the containers.
    From Oracle:
    To implement the solution, please execute the following steps:
    1. Deploy application into different containers with the same application name.
    2. Modify the mod_oc4j.conf as follows:
    Oc4jMout /test <oc4j instance 1>, <oc4j instance 1>,...

  • 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

    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

  • 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.

  • SAP GLM Print Request - Load Balancing of WWI server

    Hi GLM Experts,
    I am using new GLM + module that generates labels based on Print Requests. I am unable to understand how I can load balance the WWI services when there are multiple label printing requests.
    In GLM + we associate a WWI to a Print Station and which can then be associated with a printer. So in the configuration we are tying up a printer a WWI.
    Also during label printing, if the scenario uses print request module, then the use need to select a print station and printer. What happens if the WWI related to the print station is down?
    For example I have two services in WWI server GENPC1 and GENPC2. I created WWII and WWI2 as two print stations. I will associate my printer PRNWWI to both the print stations WWI1 and WWI2.
    During label printing if the user picks and WWI1 and Printer PDNWWI and if the GENPC1 WWI server assocaited with print status WWI1 is busy and down I want WWI GENPC2 to generate the label?
    How to setup the above load balancing or fall back? Please let me know.
    Thanks
    Pugal

    Dear Pugal
    we are not using GLM + and I am not sure about the technqiue used there to handle load balancing. Regarding general WWI setup I assume you know this Note: EH&amp;amp;S: Availability and performance of WWI and Expert servers
    On the top there is a further SAP Note abvailable which might be of interest. This is referenced here:
    http://de.scribd.com/doc/191576739/011000358700000861002013-e
    May be check OSS note: 1958655; OSS Note 1155294 is more related to normal WWI stuff; but may be check it as well. May be 1934253 might help better
    May be this might help.
    C.B.
    PS: may be check as well: consolut - EHS_MD_140_01 - EH&amp;amp;S-Management-Server einrichten
    The load balancing of synchron WWi servers is donein the "RFC" layer, therefore you have no inffluence here, for asynchron WWI servers you can do a lot to manage the WWI load balancing by using "exits" etc.

  • System with load balancing server

    Hi All,
    We are having SAP NW 7.0 Portal and back end we have R3 implemented in a cluster environment.  The system object in EP have used "System with Load balancing" template; using the LOGON group and the other related parameters.
    But we have some problem with the ITS and WAS parameters; since we are using some Transaction iViews.
    Let me explain.. for the R3 cluster we have 2 systems PROD1.domain.ext and PROD2.domain.ext. Now in the system object in portal, how to specify the parameters for ITS and WAS parameters? Since the host name in these we need to specify a single server which defeats the basic purpose of having clustered environment.
    Can any one please help in resolving this issue.
    Thanks,
    Sravanthi

    Hi Sravanthi,
    Please check the below for finding ITS and WAS parameters from backend :
    For ITS - Go to SE37 >> Utilities >> Setting >> Click on ICON Right Top Corner in popup window >> Select Internet Transaction Server >> you will find the Standard Path and HTTP URL.
    For WAS - Go to SE37 >> Run FM - RSBB_URL_PREFIX_GET >> Execute it >> you will find PRefix and PAth paramter for WAS.
    Please refer to this may help step-by-step : How-to create a portal system for using it in Visual Composer
    Hope it helps
