Load Balancing on File Adapter..

Hi Experts!!
We have run into an issue with load balancing on the sender side which can potentially cause one node to go down. We have 3 java server nodes on a single XI instance (ABAP & Java), when we pass about 30 to 50 messages of 10 MB size in a file-2-file scenario where each message is sent to eight different receivers, we have observed that the messages are picked up by only one server node on the sender side. The messages do get load balanced on the receiver side but I am not certain what controls this as we also observed that only one server node is active at a time on receiver side (round-robin). We use ABAP XSLT mapping programs with File content conversion on the receiver side.
We did find that by controlling the rfcengine threads you can load balance the distribution on the mapping service.
Can you please share your experience on how to control/configure load balancing of server nodes on both sender and receiver side in a single XI instance as well as in a cluster with 2 dialog processes.
Thanks in advance

Load balancing Central Advance Adapter Engine

Hello All,
I am trying to get more information on load balancing Central Advance Adapter Engine for SAP PI 7.1. How do I configure and load balance Advance Central Adapter Engine to handle more volume? Should I added extra non-central adapter engines to achieve this? If yes, How do I do this i.e. configuration etc? If not, then what is the best practice on load balancing the Central Advance Adapter Engine?
Thank you for replying,
Mayur

Hi,
I just post your Q&A here.
Cheers,
Aaron
I have few follow up questions regarding your answers.
1. For options 1 and 2, could you elaborate or point me some documentation on sap.help or somewhere else which talks more about these options?
   =========================================
   Basically you have more power with more processes (Instances or Server node) to process your messages in the Adapter Engine. That's the way to improve the system throughput.
   For more information, please refer to SAP PI tuning guide (I could not find the guide for 7.1, but the principle is still the same)
   https://websmp102.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700000592892005E.PDF
=========================================
2. For option 3, add non central adapter engine and configure scenarios.
    1. So, do I have to run non-central adapters on separate servers?
   ====================
    Yes. It is recommended to run non-central adapter enging on separate server to minimize the reciprocal impact in terms of resource contention.
   ==============
    2. Do I need web dispatcher to do the load balancing between central and non-central adapter engine?
    ========
    No. this is also not possible since the below is true.
    =========
I somehow think that if I am selecting the non-central adapter engine when creating the communication channel then it won't be "load balancing" because I will be sending a particular interface to the non-central engine at design time instead of runtime.
Thank you for taking time and replying to my questions.

Load Balancing Windows File Share? Doable ??

So I have a storage design question. The goal of this question is to find out how to best design a high availability storage solution without a single point of failure (SPF).
We need a storage location that needs to be accessed via an smb share in format of \\servername\sharename. We need to have an extremely high available solution as this share will be used to host remote IIS files and other important files being used by multiple
web servers. The most ideal solution is if there is a way to load balance an SMB fileshare so that it can be accessed by \\loadbalanced_name\sharename.
I am not sure if such technology exists for Windows 2008, Windows Storage Server, or with using 3rd party load balancing / file server / iscsi solution.
The current setup of our high available fileshare is with using Windows Clustering with 2 file servers attached to a singled Direct Attached Storage (DAS). Although we never really have an issue with this design, we would like to entirely eliminate the single
point of failure of the DAS.
So, any ideas / Input from anyone?
Thanks in advance!

hmm after thinking about this a little bit more, I guess I can use DFS.
However, I used to run a corporate file server for mid size company of 400 people using windows 2003 and I hated the replication to the guts. It doesn't seem to work well for large volumes...
FRS had issues, especially with large volumes. DFS-R solves that.
More importantly, DFS and DFS-R can be used independently, so if you
can't figure out how to get DFS-R working for you, you can always look
into your own replication scheme and just use DFS to get clients to the
appropriate server.

Load balance data files

Hi,
I have heterogeneous sources (txt,foxpro,ora tables etc) to be loaded to SQL Server, which I've SSIS pkg working fine to load these data sources . I need to do a load balance to check the records in the file to compare it with loaded rec in sqlserver tables.
Please guide me with the logic to start with, also if there are any generic code available which can be edited to use for load balancing.
Thanks
Neil

Thanks Ernest,
I have a business requirement to fail the pkg at error. Hence I need to count the rows from the source file itself, is this possible, or will have significant impact on performance.
Hi Neil,
I would suggest you post the detail error message and elaborate it with more detail. As Ernest's suggest above, we can use "Row Count transformation" which counts rows as they pass through a data flow and stores the final count in a variable.
For detail information, please refer to the articles below:
Row Count Transformation:

Load Balancing on XI

We need ideas to do load balancing for the IS by using external de-central adapter engine or use j2se adapter.
We are contemplating using a standalone Java instance and connect with the central adapter engine or use a J2se adapter to connect to central adapter engine. if we use a J2SE adapter we will not need a Java instance and therefore less resources on the box.
We primary aim is to use these adapters for load balacing purposes. We primarily use JMS adapters.
has anyone used de-central adapter engine and considered pros and cons vs J2SE adapter.
any comments are appreciated?
thanks
tony

Not able to find mod_oc4j.conf file for setting Load Balancing on ESB

Hi Guys,
I am trying to set load balancing on ESB ,I got one document from oracle site for setting the load balancing on ESB. According to that document we have to change mod_oc4j.conf file for setting the roundrobin:weighted,metric,random algorithms.
But I am not able to find mod_oc4j.conf file in my ORACLE_HOME directory.
Actual path is
ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Apache/conf/mod_oc4j.conf file
I have All folders up to conf but in conf folder there is no mod_oc4j.conf file.
I just want to know is there any installation problem or we have to create
mod_oc4j.conf file in that conf folder for seting the loadbalancing on ESB
kindly give me the exact solution on this .
Thanks in advance

Hi Chintan,
I have apache folder ,but there i have cong folder but in that I am not able to find mod_oc4j ,I know ESB it maintain load in transparent way but in my project we have heavy load on ESB we have to maintain this load in a proper way
Please give me the exact solution to set load balancing On ESB.
Thank you

File Adapter -- Picking has to wait untill it get fully loaded/write.

Hi All,
I need to pick the files from a folder and I need to pick the files only which has been written completely.
I should not pick the file in the middle while writing, I need to wait untill it finishes the writing completely.
Is there any setting I can put in Sender File adapter to do this?
Thanks
Seema

Nithya,
>> Try to increase the processing time in the sender communication channel, so that it allows you to completely load the file. Check the time which is needed to upload the file to the directory manually and correspondingly change the processing time.
We do not know exactly at what time the file will be placed in the folder. It may be at any time. So I cannot put the processing time accurately.
Aamir,
>> If you are picking from FTP,MSecs wont work there.the sender program which writes the file must write the file in some temporary format like .dat etc and once the file is complete it should change the filename to .txt,configure the sender file adapter to pick only *.txt files.
This is a good idea. But I don't think I can ask them to change at the other end as it is working previously with other middleware.
Guys,
Can you please advice which is the best thing we can do at this point of time.?
Thanks
Seema.

Adapter Engine Load balancing for Messages HTTP SOA/SOE

Greetings all,
We are currently implementing our SOE/SOA solution utilizing SAP services between a .Net Application. Basically .Net -> PI -> ECC and back.
We are load testing the system and are now experiencing the CI getting overloaded.
We have upped the Thread Count (Thread Manager 350 and System Threads 120) and the Queue thread from 5 to 20.
We are using SOAP with Principal Propagation.
There is a hardware load balancer we are using which can spread the load between multiple application servers. We modified the SLDRegistration host and ports (http/https) in Visual Administrator (SAP XI AF CPA Cache) in the global server node.
In SXI_CACHE Got -> Adapter Engine Cache, it displays http://<sidms>:<port>/MessagingSystem/receive/AFW/XI
Is this where the load balancer should be placed with the port name?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Adapter Framework Load Balancing

Hi guys,
I lately read in SAP Doc "Performance Tuning In XI", there it is said that
Adapter Framework uses HTTP Load Balancer for Load balancing (Adapter Framework inbound processing using HTTP load balancing.)..
Can u put some light on the above statement?
Does it mean that the messages going out of Adapter Framework will use Load Balancer or messages coming inside Adapter Framework?
Thanks,
Ashish

BIP and Siebel server - file system and load balancing question

1. I just need to understand whenever the reports are generated through BIP, are there reports stored on some local directory (say Reports) on the BIP server or Siebel File system? If on a File system how will archiving policy be implemented.
2. When we talk of load balancing BIP Server. Can the common load balancer be used for BIP and Siebel servers?

IDOC Adapter error while load balancing

Folks,
I am facing an issue when I am switching on Load balancing button in RFC destination while sending IDOC in sender system . The sender system shows this error in SM58
IDoc adapter inbound channel: Error Error when rea
Thanks,
Manish

Hi Manish...
This is from F1 on Traget host field in SM59..Check part in bold..
Name of target host
 Name of the target host as displayed by the UNIX command 'hostname'.
 If you are using load balancing, the target host must be the host name
 of the message server of the SAP System. This is defined in the profile
 parameter 'rdisp/mshost' of the target system. If you have any further
 questions, consult your system administrator. 
 You can specify host names as
 - Normal host names
 - Host names in DNS format (if DNS available)
 - IP addresses
 - SAProuter names (in the form /H/.../S/.../H/.../S/... )
Notes
 If you enter the host name (for example, hs0311) as the target host in
 an RFC destination, its IP address is stored internally in the database
 table RFCDES (destination administration). This speeds up the RFC
 connection initiation, since the host name does not need to be converted
 into its IP address.
 However, problems occur if the IP address of the target host changes.
 For this reason, you must adjust the RFC destinations if the IP address
 of the target host changes.
 If you specify the host name as a SAProuter name (/H/hs0311 instead of
 hs0311), it is not converted into its correspondidng IP address.
 Instead, it is stored in its SAProuter form in table RFCDES.

Adapter configuration & load balancing

Hi,
I posted questions for my requirements on Adapter forum but did not get any answer.
Hope this forum can help.
We started a POc with Oracle As adapters for EBS. As part of that we are trying following taks,
1) Connect to multiple EBS instances & deploy individual adapter for same on AS
2) Use these two instances for loadbalancing & scalaing
I am not bale to find information about above two in Oracle Adapter documentation.
I could build sample EBs adpater scenario with concurrent programs and use a default APPS adapter deployed on AS server by modifying oc4j-ra.xml. But failed to delpoy multiple instances that can be viwed from Enterprise Manager.
Also how to configure my adapters for better load balancing and sclaling. Is there any doc link that i can read?
Thanks in advance.

How to load balance serving MP4 files via AMS

Hey gurus,
We have one centralized storage server that stores videos, Lets call this Server A, we have 4 more servers that we want to use to load the files from Server A to load balance and location balance the loading of files.
Servers B-E are on a private VLAN with Server A; so what we're doing now is mounting Server A on to Servers B-E and serving the files via AMS; this has proved to be quite inefficient.
For Live Streams; we use multi-point publishing to achieve this; is there a way to do this with recorded files?
Please advise!
Thanks

Here are few bits of info:
For load balancing for Analytics, that isn't officially supported yet for the UI and Administration components. It might work with sticky sessions from portal-to-analytics but that doesn't get you much. Improving the options there would be a good enhancement request.
For the collector, I think there are two important things to remember. Use broadcast mode. I've never actually seen it in unicast mode, but broadcast definitely works. Also, remember that this is all managed by Portal and Analytics - you don't use your own load balancer between Portal instances and the Analytics Collector instances.
Finally, ALUI Directory is not certified to be load balanced yet. On a separate note, ALUI Directory has a socket leak on Windows due to a bug in the version of Jrockit that ships with it. Upgrading the embedded application server for the ALUI/WCI installation to jrockit-R27.5.0-jdk1.5.0_14 will resolve it.
