Load Balancing of 2-Tiered vs 3-Tiered Clustering
Hi,
I was looking at the cluster diagrams on the clustering page:
http://www.weblogic.com/docs60/cluster/index.html
And I can't help notice a slight descrepency between the diagram of a 2-Tier
cluster (WL web cluster + WL app cluster) vs.a 3-Tier cluster (web
proxy-plugin + WL web cluster + WL app cluster).
In the 2-Tier diagram, the arrows going from the web nodes to the app nodes
converges to a single point, indicating that there's load balancing of
servlet calls to ejbs.
In the 3-Tier diagram, the arrows from each web node point directly to an
app node, which seems to indicate that there is a static one-to-one
relationship, hence no load-balancing. Below the 3-Tier diagram, one of the
described limitations of using standalone web server and proxy plug-ins is:
a.. Limited Load Balancing Options: When you use proxy plug-ins or the
HttpClusterServlet to access clustered servlets, the load balancing
algorithm is limited to a simple round-robin strategy.
I believe this is describe load balancing between the fire-wall and the
proxy web servers. But what about the load balancing between the WL web
servers and the app servers? Does it exist, or does one web server always
assigned to one app server?

Currently, we only support clusters within the same subnet, as most routers
can't handle multicast traffic. We are considering designs to relax this
restriction in a future release.

Apache HTTP proxying for load balancing only to a group of non-clustered WL servers
Hi,
We're running WL Server 6.1 SP 2 on Solaris 2.8.
For the Apache HTTP proxy plugin, if you use the WebLogicCluster http.conf option,
do the WL servers you want to load balance across have to be part of a WebLogic
cluster (if you are prepared to do without failover, as I know it would need to be
a proper WL cluster to replicate session info for failover). Can you load balance
across a group of non-clustered WL servers, and maintain the user session to the
one WL server so that it doesn't switch between servers on alternate requests for
the same user session, or must the servers be configured as a WebLogic cluster?
Paul
We find that if you have a collection of WL servers that are not configured as a
cluster, that it will load balance alternate requests to each server, but it will
not pin a user to a single machine according to their session so for 2 servers, 2
differetn sessions get created, one on each machine.
Is this because it doesn't normally do this, but sends the user alternately to a
primary then secondary which works in a cluster because the session is replicated.
I thought the secondary was only used when the primary failed.

You don't have to use the clustering option. To get failover, you'll have to
use the JDBC persistence option of WL.

The primary/secondary stuff requires clustering. If Apache continues to
"load balance" after the first request, you need to either use JDBC session
persistence or use a different load balancer (like mod_jk for Apache or a
h/w load balancer with support for sticky).

Setting up Load Balancing for 11i for Intranet & Internet Access
Our current environment for 11i (11.5.5) is accessed only internally (via Intranet). We need to allow outside access (via Internet) also for self-service apps (ie. HR). Oracle Support/Metalink has stated that Load Balancing (note 148155.1) is the only supported method to have multiple (Apps Servers) systems access a single database. Could I get feedback from anyone who has implemented Load Balancing for 11i? Additionally if someone has implemented this for both intranet and internet access how has your company setup? Do the secondary server(s) from the Load Balancing note reside in the DMZ? And thus the primary app server and database reside inside the firewall? Thanks....

Home Interface Load Balancing with user transactions
Hi
Im running the following Client scenario:
* gets initial context
* lookup for Home Interface.
* save the Home Interface.
* Begin User Transaction
* Home.findByPrimaryKey(pk)
* activate some business method
* Commit transaction.
* close context
now repeat but use the saved home interface
* gets initial context
* get saved Home Interface.
* Begin User Transaction
* Home.findByPrimaryKey(pk)
* activate some business method
* Commit transaction.
* close context
It seems that once i use the Home finder under a transaction the home
interface will stick to the first server and load balancing won't work
(doesn't matter if its round-robin or random).
that means that in both cases the EjbObject i use is on the same server.
please correct me if im wrong.
but if im right is this a weblogic bug? or maybe a feature?
thanks
Dror Last
You will find that most engineers at BEA strong recommend NOT using UserTxns, unless you've got some
complex nest transaction modeling that can't be done with BMT.
From your case, it looks as if you should use a Session-bean facade between your servlets and entity
beans; this way you set the session bean BMT attribute to whatever you wanted using
UserTransaction; try this out and see what happens with load-balancing... we use BMT in clustered
servers and load-balancing works great.

XML Publisher Time out setup issue with load balancer
I have a single node install of Oracle Apps 12.0.4. When running an XML report, it completes successfully and I can view the XML report by clicking on the "view output" button.
I have an Oracle Apps 12.0.4 multi-node install with my database and admin tier running on the same box. I also have two app tiers front-ended with a cisco load balancer. In this environment, when I run an XML Report the job completes with a warning. I have reviewed the log file from the Output Post Processor log file and have the below errors.

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 lotdear 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

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,
JimYou 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 Balancing Portal that uses JPDK portlets
We are having the following Portal architecture :
-Browser
-Firewall
-Load Balancers
-Multiple 9iAS middle-tiers (2)
-DB Server
We are using Web Providers registered with Portal which calls JPDK portlets.
We have registered the Web Provider url's, but of course had to
enter a URL to point to the location of the provider.xml. If we enter the URL specifying a particular 9iAS middle-tier hostname, all requests for the provider from any of the middle-tiers are routed through the one 9iAS server, which places a heavy load on this server.
Requirement : We want to specify the location of the provider.xml as local to the particular 9iAS server and so call the portlet from the same server, which will spread the load.
What would be the best way to achieve this ?Hi,
You can very well provide the URL of 'Load balancer' while registering the WebProvider, provided it meets the following condition :
Condition : For example, your middle-tiers are named 'machineA' & 'machineB'. Your loadbalancer's name being 'loadbalancer'. Say, a user wants to access a file by name 'test.html' which exists in both machineA & machineB and is identical. Let http://machineA/test.html & http://machineB/test.html be the URLS for accessing it.
The user should get the output after specifying the loadbalancer's name in the place of the 'serverA' or serverB.
Something like, http://loadbalancer/test.html
If the condition is satisified, you can register the webprovider with Loadbalancer's URL.

What is load balancing in sap business objects.
Hi friends.
Any one give me correct answer..Hi,
it depends if you are talking about clustering the processing tiers (& using server groups) to achieve load-balancing, or if you mean using a load balancer in front of the web-tier (typically, Apache Tomcat) ? Also. it could be a software or hardware load balancer.
essentially, it splits the load across the boxes.

Problem in using OracleAS Web Cache as Load Balancer
I have two machines:
aimssrv.world.com and aimsrep.world.com.
Both of above machines are running Redhat Linux AS 4.
On both machines, I have installed Oracle Forms and Reports 10g Services. I have deployed my application on both machines.
I am able to access my application at aimssrv.world.com by doing:
http://aimssrv.world.com:7778/forms/frmservlet?config=aims
and I am also able to access my application at aimsrep.world.com by doing:
http://aimsrep.world.com:7778/forms/frmservlet?config=aims
I have implemented OracleAS Web Cache at machine aimssrv.world.com, and have enabled the Load Balancing.
In Origin Servers, its showing me two servers:
Host => aimssrv.world.com, PORT=> 7778, Routing=> Enabled, CAPACITY=>100, Failover Threshold=>5, PING URL=>/, PROTOCOL=>HTTP
Host => aimsrep.world.com, PORT=> 7778, Routing=> Enabled, CAPACITY=>100, Failover Threshold=>5, PING URL=>/, PROTOCOL=>HTTP
In Site Definition, I have following information:
Host Name=> aimssrv.world.com, PORT=>7777
In site-to-server mapping, I have following information:
Priority Host Name Port ESI Content Policy Host Name Port Proxy
1 aimssrv.world.com 7777 Unrestricted aimssrv.world.com 7778 No
aimsrep.world.com 7778 No
2 * 7777 Exclude Fragments aimssrv.world.com 7778 No
3 * * Exclude Fragments aimssrv.world.com 7778 No
In Session Binding, I have selected "JSESSIONID" as session, and "OC4J-based" as session binding mechanism.
Now please guide me as how would I run my application by using the OracleAS Web Cache?
What would be the URL?
Do I need to make any changes in httpd.conf files of aimssrv.world.com and aimsrep.awc.com?
Please guide.
Thanks and regardshi,
i hv recently configured webcache load-balancing for my 2 mid-tiers.I did not upgrade pre-requisite webcache upgrade patch 4569559 to my 10g rel 2 10.1.2.0.2 OAS and it still worked a bit but I do have some doubts why oracle recommends installing this patch before configuring webcache load-balancing.Have u?
btw u need to collapse all the features of webcache of caching to turn on http load-balancing.U need to add a parameter to internal.xml (LOADBALANCE ON="YES") and register origin servers of both servers with each other and map ur sites so that origin servers of both servers will cater sites of server1 and server2 at the same time.
what worked for me is i registered origin server of server1 at server2 and origin server of server2 at server1 and mapped site of server1 (http://server1:port/forms/frmservlet?config=something) to work with origin server of server2 as well at site-to-server page so that origin servers of both servers will load-balance my server1 site and vice-versa.
But still its not seamless.The initial site request was still being routed to the server which is DOWN first and not seamlessly routed to other server which is UP.Maybe webcache upgrade patch would hv done this seamlessly????

OAM 11g integration with Kerberos on cluster with load-balanced virtualhost
Hello!
I need to make a Kerberos integration with OAM.
I find following notes about OAM 11g: WNA Configuration for HA Clusters [ID 1365888.1] (https://support.oracle.com/epmos/faces/ui/km/SearchDocDisplay.jspx?_afrLoop=223640518878014&type=DOCUMENT&id=1365888.1&displayIndex=1&_afrWindowMode=0&_adf.ctrl-state=14ehvbh4z2_61).
"In an OAM Clustered environment, the OAM Principal for WNA must be the same on all tiers i.e. the load-balanced virtualhost for the OAM cluster.
Therefore each OAM managed server will reference the same keytab file, generated for Principal HTTP/<virtualhost.domain>, and the keytab file will be in the same location on all OAM managed servers.
For example: ${DOMAIN_HOME}/domains/${DOMAIN_NAME}/config/fmwconfig/oam/<keytab filename>.
After copying the keytab file to the same directory on all OAM managed server machines, complete the configuration of the Kerberos authentication module in OAM Administration Console (/oamconsole).
The AdminServer will ensure that the oam-config.xml file on all OAM managed server tiers in the cluster is updated with this configuration."
The question is; When I generate oam.keytab with following command, What is the name of the server that I will must put in the command? Virtualhost (load-balanced), Node1 or Node2?
ktpass -princ HTTP/<servername>@DOMAIN -pass XXXXXXX mapuser DOMAIN\user -out oam.keytab.
Thanks in advance and best regards!
PS: Sorry if my english is not clear.David,
Your Principal name should be the SSO LB URL.(ie :sso.mycomany.com)
ktpass -princ HTTP/sso.mycomany.com@DOMAIN -pass XXXXXXX mapuser DOMAIN\user -out oam.keytab.
Also make sure sso.mycomany.com has a reverse DNS configured correctly.
you can check using dig command
ping sso.mycomany.com
What ever the ip-address
dig -x <IP-ADDRESS>
Check in the reverse DNS section there should be 1 record.
;; ANSWER SECTION:
1.1.1.1.in-addr.arpa. 3600 IN PTR sso.mycomany.com.
Let me know if you have more questions.

error. I'm not sure how to resolve, If anyone experience this issue before, please let me know how to fix it. I copied the error log below. Thank you

ThanksHi Ryankorock,
Sorry to revive an old post but is there any update on compatibility? We are running SCVMM 2012 R2 Build 3.2.7768.0 with an F5 BIG-IP
running "11.6.0 Build 0.0.401 Final". We see the exact same error

The plugin creates everything on the F5, pools, nodes, and virtual server. We have tried with and without a health probe with no luck. -
How to configure software load balancer for R12.1.3
Dear All,
I need to configure software load-balancer on application tiers and i need to know if its possible to have a software load-balancer in place of hardware load balancer if i need to route the load on two application nodes.
Thanks !As we do not certify, nor support 3rd party loadbalancers we can not confirm that the Piranha loadbalancer will perform as expected with EBS. The basic minimum requirements or loadbalaning is that it has death detection, and session / cookie persistence We also typically require that a hardware loadbalancer is used. Internally we use F5 loadbalancers, and Cisco ACE.
What are the limitations of a software load balancer compared to hardware ? As mentioned above, your software balancer should has the capability of "death detection, and session/cookie persistence" -- More details can be found in (Implementing Load Balancing On Oracle E-Business Suite - Documentation For Specific Load Balancer Hardware [ID 727171.1]).
Oracle Web Cache can be used as a software load balancer (which is an Oracle product), but Oracle recommends you do not use it in production instances.
Thanks,

Error while selecting Load Balancing in JCO creation
While creating JCO i am facing this error.It is working fine with Single server connection,but when i chose Load balancing i error comes out.Please tell me the solution.
I have read couples of forum mentioned you need to start both Portal and ECC.
For you information my Portal and Java are both on diffrrent Box.
com.sap.mw.jco.JCO$Exception: (102) RFC_ERROR_COMMUNICATION: Connect to message server host failed Connect_PM TYPE=B MSHOST=olameccpdvr GROUP=PUBLIC R3NAME=DVR MSSERV=sapmsDVR PCS=1 LOCATION CPIC (TCP/IP) on local host with Unicode ERROR service 'sapmsDVR' unknown TIME Thu Feb 24 12:19:54 201 RELEASE 701 COMPONENT NI (network interface) VERSION 38 RC -3 MODULE nixxhsl.cpp LINE 776 DETAIL NiHsLGetServNo: service name cached as unknown COUNTER 5Is your backend system configured correctly in your SLD ?
Go to transaction SMMS on your backend system that your are connecting to. Click on Goto=>Parameters=>Display. Look for "server port" value.
This should give you the TCP/IP port for your message server. It could be 3600 or 3601 (36NN - where NN is the instance number).
In your services file, if you made the entry at the end of the file, press Enter (Return) after your entry.
Try restarting your server after making the above changes.
