Load Balancing R/3 or ERP

Hi,
In the old days (3.1H) companies split out R/3 into multiple application servers / instances to do load balancing. The idea at that time was to balance out the buffering. I would like to know if this is required in mySAP ERP 2004 (or SAP Web AS ABAP 6.40)?
Thanks,
Luke

The old rule still apply and it will depend on how you use the system.  Most new hardware has more memory so you might be able to allocate larger memory churn to program, table buffers and could eliminate the need for splitting out R/3 "applications" into different servers.  However, if extensive swapping occurs with the system, you might need to split out the app's if memory is max out.
Thanks,
Penbury

  • Load Balancing ITS on ERP 2005 displayed through EP 7.0

    We are having trouble setting up our Cisco ACE load balancer for ITS on ERP 2005 displayed through EP 7.0.  The help documentation is a little confusing as to whether ITS does its load balancing by itself, or with ERP 2005, you need an external load balancer.  Does ITS on ERP 2005 provide load balancing?
    If it does not, we need an external load balancer and are trying to figure out how to configure the ACE tool for that, particularly around session persistence.  Since we are also doing reverse proxy, we would need to use session cookies to key the sticky round-robin load balancing off of.  The documentation is a little vague on what the cookie variable is for ITS sessions.  Can anyone point me to detailed instructions on how to do this?

  • Load Balancing Forms Services with an effective healthcheck

    I am in the process of configuring two forms 11.1.2 servers running with weblogic 10.3.5 with multiple forms applications clustered across both physical servers. We are looking to load balance to the various forms applications using a hardware load balancer. Can anyone comment on their experience with setting up effective application healthchecks using either hardware or software load balancers?
    For example say that we have 3 applications clustered across 2 servers with the following
    URLs:
    http://server01:7777/forms/frmservlet?config=myapp1
    http://server01:7777/forms/frmservlet?config=myapp2
    http://server01:7777/forms/frmservlet?config=myapp3
    http://server02:7777/forms/frmservlet?config=myapp1
    http://server02:7777/forms/frmservlet?config=myapp2
    http://server02:7777/forms/frmservlet?config=myapp3
    We would need a checking mechanism on the load balancer that could tell if myapp2 was down on say server01 and therefore block traffic to that application yet keep traffic open for the other 2 apps on the same server.
    A specific difficulty with forms is that when the database behind the application is down forms services will return an error message within a displayed error form. From the load balancer's point of view the forms services are "up". We need to find a way of detecting that the application is actually available and not just that the forms services themselves are available. To detect that the forms services are available we might normally use the status check:
    http://server01:7777/forms/frmservlet?ifcmd=status
    however this will only tell use the availability of the forms services on a physical server and not whether any actual applications are available.
    I am aware that f5 do a BIGIP offering that includes some Oracle Forms specific components. Can anyone comment on how they have setup Oracle Forms healthchecks using various load balancing methods. In particular if a load balancer is limited to using WGET commands to check HTTP returned content is there a way of checking a forms application's availability and if not how have other people achieved an effective healthcheck?
    Many thanks,
    Philippe

    Did you ever Get this to work?

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.

  • FRM-92101: Load Balancing Forms 10g with Webcache

    Hi,
    I´m having some problems with Oracle Forms and Webcache 10g and I was wondering if you
    could help.
    Machines: (Pentium IV 2.6 GHz; 2GB RAM; 80GB HD)
    A. Red Hat Linux AS 2.1
    Oracle AS 10g - Infrastructure Installation
    B. Windows 2000 Server - Service Pack 4
    Oracle AS 10g - BI and Forms Installation (Using Infrastructure on machine A)
    C. Windows 2000 Server - Service Pack 4
    Oracle AS 10g - BI and Forms Installation (Using Infrastructure on machine A)
    I didn´t apply any Patchsets of Oracle AS 10g. My current version is 9.0.4.0 .
    Goal:
    Use Oracle Webcache 10g on machine B for Load Balancing an Oracle Forms Application
    on machines B and C.
    Facts:
    The Oracle AS 10g installation on the 3 machines was made without problems.
    The Forms Applications are running without problems on both Forms servers in machine B and C.
    Symptoms:
    I´m getting the following error when I try to access the forms application through Webcache:
    FRM-92101: There was a failure in the forms server during startup.
    This could happen due to invalid configuration.
    Please look in the web-server log file for details.
    But, this error happens ONLY when BOTH OC4J_BI_Forms instances (machines B and C) are
    running.
    When just one of the OC4J_BI_Forms is running everything works fine.
    Webcache Configuration:
    I´ve followed Metalink note 207668.1: Configuring Web Cache as a Load Balancer for Application Servers
    step by step to make the configuration of the following components:
    1. Configuration of the origin servers
    2. Configuration of Site definitions
    3. Configuration of Site to server mapping
    After that, I´ve follwed the Metalink note 229900.1: Integrating and using Web Cache with Forms 9i for Load Balancing
    step by step to make the configuration of the following components:
    4. Session Binding
    Then I try to test the Load Balancing and I got the error FRM-92101 when both OC4J_BI_Forms
    instance were running.
    I´ve searched Metalink and found note 268830.1: Webcache Won't Load Balance 2 Forms Instances.
    Following the note instructions I did the following changes:
    Added these lines at the end of HTTPD.conf (machine B):
    CookieTracking On
    CookieName myformscookie1
    Added these lines at the end of HTTPD.conf (machine C):
    CookieTracking On
    CookieName myformscookie2
    In Webcache configuration:
    I´ve Changed the default session binding from JSESSIONID to "ANY SET COOKIE" for the
    site's session binding.
    But even after these changes I´m getting FRM-92101 error on the same conditions.
    How can I solve this problem ?
    Thank you in advance.
    Marcus Santos.

  • Load Balancing vs PQ processes accros RAC nodes

    I have following config.
    •     3 node RAC (10.2.0.3 on RHEL)
    •     All services (ERP, CRM, MISC and many more) configured for symmetric load-balance. i.e. Load balance across nodes.
    •     Each node has Instance_group set to run all the above services. Parallel instance group set to same as service name at the session level.
    •     PQ is enabled at the table level for some of the large tables with degree of 4.
    Issue :
    •     Quite often, QC gets spawned on the one node , but all the slaves gets spawned on a different node. This overloads the interconnect and slow down the fetch when result set is large.
    Question :
    How do I make all PQ processes (slaves + QC ) to go on the same node ? Is it possible to do without changing the load balancing scheme?

    What is your interconnect configuration? Single Gig-E? What number is "large"? What do you do with large result sets? Spool them out?It’s GigE. Mostly extract of Multi-Million rows i.e. spool. Other with similar volumes goes to ETL server for complex downstream processing that subsequently gets fed to other targets.
    In order to get this behavior you need to have an instance groups that only contains one node each, then change your parallel_instance_group to be that group.Yes. I have been told that by Timur as well with those two links. The links were helpful to understand the mechanics of Parallel Instance Group. In that link ( Part 2 ) mentions that it’s symmetric load balancing but I see he’s not load balancing connection across the both the nodes as he connects to specific nodes. See below excerpts from his blog site. Did I missed or mis-understood anything there?
    Tnsnames.ora: (unchanged)
    node1-only =
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = node1)(PORT = 1521))

    (SERVICE_NAME= nodetaf1)
    (SID = EMDWH1)
    (SERVER = DEDICATED)
    $ sqlplus mylogin/mypass@node1-only
    alter session set parallel_instance_group=’IG1′;

    984 1 1 1 oracle@node1 (P003)
    984 1 sqlplus@node1 (TNS V1-V3)In my case , I need connections to be load balanced across all 3 nodes and have all slaves to stay on the same node as QC ( where it gets connected to.. i.e. it could be any of the 3 nodes ). Here is my scenario in detail.
    ERP =
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = myvip1)(PORT = 1521))
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = myvip2)(PORT = 1521))
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = myvip3)(PORT = 1521))
    (LOAD_BALANCE = yes)
    (CONNECT_DATA =(SERVICE_NAME = S_ERP)(FAILOVER_MODE =(TYPE = SELECT)(METHOD = BASIC)(RETRIES = 180)(DELAY = 5))
    (SERVER = DEDICATED)
    Service S_ERP has been created to  run on each node with Load balance on (server side, REMOTE_LISTENER has been set up on each node )
    srvctl add service -d ERPCRMP -s -r  rac1, rac2, rac3….All the session makes connection with above TNS entry. Now how do I set up Instance group so that my connection goes to any of the 3 nodes and slaves are restricted on the same node as QC.
    Do I have to set something like this?
    Node 1:
    INSTANCE_GROUP= IG01
    PARALLE_INSTANCE_GROUP=IG01
    Node 2:
    INSTANCE_GROUP=IG02
    PARALLEL_INSTANCE_GROUP=IG02
    And so on for the 3rd node.

    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 ;)

  • Question about load balancing between Portal and ABAP

    Hi,
    I have the problem whit load balancing between Portal and ECC (ERC) ABAP
    Exist two system:
    1) ECC (ERP) ABAP = Backend     Module = HR
    2) EP (JAVA) = Frontend
    The users (9000 users) logon in the EP and run query (data personal) in the ECC.  The problem to all user connect in Central Instance and not in the Dialog Instance.
    How can balancing the conecction HTTP (EP) to ECC (ABAP)??
    I need balancing in the ECC to Dialog Instance

    Jco -> right. Another possibility is that you use iviews that point to the backend in this case you will need to use a load balanced entry for the backend system in the [system landscape|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/helpdata/en/47/8c1e438d7017fce10000000a42189c/frameset.htm] -> SAP_R3_LoadBalancing
    If you have ESS deployed on your portal, you will most probably need to do both.

  • Logon Load Balancing error

    Hi
    I am trying to setup Logon Load Balancing for our ERP system, I have setup the logon groups in TX SMLG, the landscape consists of DB server app1 and app2, I have created a logon group for app1 and logon group for app2, I have then created a new system entry in the SAP Logon Pad under Group/Server Selection, here I have a problem in that when I enter the message server I get a message saying Error: hostname <message server> unknown, however when I enter the ip address for the message server I get the list of logon groups appear, however, I have entered the sapmsS02 3600/tcp setting within the services file, I have also added the ipaddress and the hostname of the message server into the hosts file, but I still cannot get the hostname to work within the message server.  When I test the logon I get the error message Logon Balancing Error 88: Cannot connect to message server (rc=9), I have searched the net and most people just suggest entering the details into the services file and host file, also a sap note which suggests issues within the registry for Microsft MSN which I have checked and still have the same issue.
    Does anyone have anymore ideas as to what this could be or what to try next?
    Thanks for your help
    Jay

    Dear Jay,
    It is not the service that can not be resolved, that is translated into an IP address, but the hostname. It depends on your system and the way in which it does hostname resolution, whether the hosts file will be used at all. So please check with the keyword 'hostname resolution' on how to set this up on your landscape.
    Best Regards,
    Tim

  • Error while selecting Load Balancing in JCO creation

    Is 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.

    I have the same problem,and solved it following the steps provided by Bogdan Rokosa  :
    you must insert an entry for your R3 system

    in services file
    (C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\services) on Java WAS.
    I test the Jco successful without restart J2EE Engine.

  • ISE 1.2 - Multiple NICs/Load Balancing for DHCP Probe

    Hello guys
    Just prepping an ISE 1.2 patch 8 setup in our organization. I am going for the virtual appliances with multiple NICs. It will be a distributed deployment with 4 x PSNs behind a load balancer and there is no requirement for wireless or guest user at the moment. I've got 2 points I will like to get some guidance on:
    Our DC has a dedicated mgmt network and I plan to IP the gig0 interface of the PANs, MNTs and PSNs from this subnet. All device admin, clustering, config replication, etc will be over this interface. However, RADIUS/probe/other user traffic to the ISE PSNs will be over the gig1 interface which will be addressed from another L3 network. Is this a supported configuration in ISE?
    I intend to use the DHCP probe as part of device profiling and will ideally like to have just an additional ip helper to add to our switch SVI config. Also, it will appear that WLCs can only be configured for 2 DHCP servers for a given network so another consideration for when we bringing our WLAN in scope. We however use ACE load balancers within our DC and from what I have read, they do not support DHCP load balancing. Are there any workarounds to using the DHCP probe with multiple PSNs without having to add each node as an ip helper/DHCP server on the NADs?
    Thanks in advance
    Sayre

    Hello Sayre-
    For Question #1:
    Management is restricted to GigabitEthernet 0 and that cannot be changed so you should be good there
    You can configure Radius and Profiling to be enabled on other interfaces
    Even though you are not using guest services yet, you can dedicate an interface just for that. As a result, you can separate guest traffic completely from your production network
    Take a look at this link for more info:
    http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/security/ise/1-2/installation_guide/ise_ig/ise_app_c-ports.html
    For Question #2
    If you are using a Cisco WLC and running code 7.4 and newer you don't need to mess with the IP helper configurations. 
    The controller can be configured to act as a collector for client profiling and interact with the DHCP thread along with the RADIUS accounting task that is running on the controller. The controller receives a copy of the DHCP request packet sent from the DHCP thread and parses the DHCP packet for two options:
    –Option 12—HostName of the client
    –Option 60—The Vendor Class Identifier
    After this information is gathered from the DHCP_REQUEST packet, a message is formed by the controller with these option fields and is sent to the RADIUS accounting thread, which is in turn transmitted to the ISE in the form of an interim accounting message.
    Both DHCP and HTTP profiling settings are located under the "Advanced" configuration tab in the WLC
    On the other hand, you can also use Anycast for profiling. You can check out some of Cisco Live's sessions for more info on that. Here is one that is from a couple of years (There are more recent ones that are available as well):

    I hope this helps!

  • 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.

  • APEX SSO and Load balancing: Could not determine workspace for application

    We had a single HTTP Server serving APEX in a 10.2.0.2 database configured with SSO to be used by the developers. APEX has been registered as a partner application and the login url has been CA Siteminder protected so that the SM_USER details are forwarded in the header for the application to use for authorization. Everything is fine so far.
    Now we have added a HTTP Server on another host and have it all set up for APEX and its pointing to the same database. APEX_ADMIN access works as normal, but applications previously using SSO now get the following error after entering the URL.
    Expecting p_company or wwv_flow_company cookie to contain security group id of application owner.
    Error ERR-7620 Could not determine workspace for application ().
    Using HTTP Watch I find that the application is not even trying to redirect to the login page.
    What is wrong here?

    APEX has been registered as a partner application as described in
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/howtos/sso_partner_app.html
    In the meantime I found metalink document 368746.1 which describes the cause of this problem. Please read carefully what I wrote, it all works when the the new APEX web server is turned off in the server farm on the load balancer and directed through the original web server. When running regapp.sql the hostname in the listener token was using the virtual hostname. This works fine if the request comes from the original APEX server which proofs that there is nothing wrong with the installation and set up of SSO. When directing the request to the new APEX web server the APEX_ADMIN page still works only existing work spaces using SSO don't seems to work anymore resulting in a error as described in the subject.
    As for metalink document 368746.1 naming the causes of this error:
    - there are no duplicate entries in WWSEC_ENABLER_CONFIG_INFO$
    -LISTENER_TOKEN clearly works for requests coming from the first web server
    -theoretically the web server listener port could be changed from 7777, but port 80 needs to be maintained here as production is mimiced as far down as possible.
    Is there some cache table which can be cleared? How is it that the flows schema (apex engine) can not find the work space when the request comes from a new web server which can however access the APEX_ADMIN pages.
    anyone?

  • SSO with SAP R/3 with load balancing as backend over the Web AS

    Hi,
    we have Netweaver 2004 at this time and we have to connect the portal to a BSP application in a load balancing environment.
    We set user mapping for the user and set the connection type from SAPLOGONTICKET to UIDPW. This is running for a test environment with only one R/3 system without load balancing.
    Does anyone know the setting parameters for a load balancing environment (ok, the message server and...?).
    Thank you.
    Best regards
    Patrizia

    Hi all,
    run into the same problem. Setting up a mapping with UIDPW in a non load balanced WEB-AS enviroment for BSP or Webdynpro for ABAP works fine. But if I go to set it up in a balanced system I can see the following behavior. The http request is send to the messageserver. This request enclosed my mapped user and password. The messageserver responds with an HTTP 301 wich contains one of my applicationservers, so far so good. The client sends a new request to the mentioned applicationserver but this time without the UIDPW. So the user will not be logged in.
    I was wondering if my backend have to issue logonticket too, cause today it only accept tickets from the portal.
    Is this is a bug or a feature?
    Regards,
    Bernd

  • How to change the OraSSO login link in webcache/load balance

    Hi
    we have 10gAsR1 installed as a Portal instance. We have 6-server
    load balancer => webcache as loadbalancer (listening port 80)
    Wb ch1 and wb ch2 => webcache (listening port 7777)
    portal1 and portal2 => Portal listening 7778
    infra =>Infrastruture with repository Portal/Oracle SSO (listening 7777)
    This set up is working fine for our intranet setup, now we need to open this for couple of external clients. Well initially we need to open on the load balancer server on port 80 for external team to access, it works fine when we make it publc access.
    Now when we need to make it SSO (siteminder) enables, when users click on login link it first goes oracle sso then it internally redirects the page to site minder sso.
    Well, I have noted that the sso server details are mentioned in global setting sso/oid details. Since we need to open this for external client we have to add a DNS entry for this so that we can allow its access over firewall..
    Now I have made DNS name change at my infrserver level, now I need to update the change at the load balancer server (where wheb chache is running).
    Any one know how to chang the URL at load balancer.
    I am struck at this point please suggest how should i proceed..
    Thanks,
