Load Balancing with forms server 10g

Hello,
i've a cliente which is right now processing a migration from a client-server 6i platform (using Terminal Servers) to a forms 10g web platform with several Application Servers 10g in standalone.
At the end, client want to enable Load Balancing in order to have some manage at each Application Server load.
The idea to accomplish is to have an hardware Load Balancer. The client already has a CISCO CSS 11503 SSL.
Is there any documentation where i can check more info about the compatibility/configuration to this architecture.
Thanks for your attention.
regards,
Pedro Ribeiro

You can check this doc Link:[http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_19/hpux.1012/install.1012/install/toc.htm]
It say all about it, and don't mention nothing about a Load Balancer, but I'll try tokeep searching.
Greetings.

T3 Load Balancing with Weblogic Server 6.1

We are using rwo weblogic 6.1 servers A and B behind a load balancer with a DNS name (eg. www.loadbalancer.com). We are using T3 for Java client to application server communication. The client creates the Initial context with the load balancer url,creates remote objects using the context, closes the initial context and then tries to get a new initial Context. What we noticed is even though the client closes the first context and gets a new one, the client is always hooked on to only one server making load balancing ineffective. Is there a T3 configuration to release the connection when we close the context ? The documentation says only one T3 is established per client JVM.

Rick,
You may want to look at the Alteon and F5 configuration we have on edocs.

CSS Load Balancing with Billing Server

Hi Gilles
Could I have a CSS load balancing two servers and also have it communicate with a billing server across the network. If yes then how can I do it?
Regards,
Sushil

the CSS does not have the notion of billing server. A separate device - like the CSG - should be used if you need to collect billing info.

HTTP Tunneling and Load Balancing with Weblogic Server 6.1

We use T3 for Java client to application server communication (Weblogic Server
6.1) and keep the session open for the life of the client. We many customers
using this with load balancers and all works fine. We have just started to use
BEA's HTTP tunneling and I have a question concerning how this will work with
load balancers. Since the single T3 connection has been replaced with a series
of stateless HTTP connections, does the BEA tunneling code put session information
in the HTTP header? If so, what information does it place in the header. If
it does we should be able to use that to make sure that the load balancer always
sends HTTP requests with that session to the same application server.
Thanks!
Rick

How to set up load balancing with overload server on css

can anyone tell me how to set up a load balancing config on css that will enable me to LB proxy caches and when they have too many connections then LB against an overload proxy-cache.
Such that when the normal proxy-cache farm is under the ceiling of max connections then the overload server is not used ?
I don't think redirect or sorry server will do this ?

see the below configuration,any question,just tell me.
service proxy-1
! below is the real ip of server
ip address 10.1.1.1
keepalive type icmp
active
service proxy-2
ip address 10.1.1.2
keepalive type icmp
active
! enter owner config-mode
owner proxy
! define a content rule,match what you want to load balancing
content rule-proxy
! below is virtual ip,it can be another ip segment
vip address 10.1.1.50
add service proxy-1
add service proxy-2

Problems with SCM server 10g and Forms Developer 6i&9i

Hi,
I installed SCM server 10g and try to use it with Forms developer 6i and 9i. The connection to the server works ok but when I choose the container from Source Control Options to check in forms they always go one level higher in the container hierarchy. With Forms developer 10g it is working fine. What might cause this?
Thanks,
Tomi

You are missing one key piece of information from your email - the error message that you got.
can you specify what was the error number?
Once you have this number I'll suggest that you look it up on the online documentation of the database available on otn (just do a search on OTN with the error number).

How does load-balancing with WebCache work - is there still a bottleneck?

Hello,
We're migrating an old Forms 6i app to 10.1.2.0.2 (apps servers = Redhat Linux), and are starting to consider using WebCache to loadbalance between two application servers.
My question is this - say we have apps servers A and B, both running Forms and Reports Services. We use Webcache on server A (don't have the luxury of a third apps server...) to load balance between A and B. So all initial requests come into A, which in some cases may then be diverted to start a new Forms session on B.
For those users whose middle-tier sessions are now running on B - will all network traffic for their Forms session continue to be routed through Webcache on A, then to B, over the course of the session? Or does Webcache somehow shunt the whole connection to be straight between the client PC and server B, for the duration of that Forms session?
If the former, does that mean that the server hosting Webcache can still be a significant bottleneck for network traffic? Have people found load-balancing with Webcache to be useful..?
Thanks in advance,
James

CF 10 Load-Balancing with Remote Instances

I was reading an article on Clustering/LB/HA using CF8, but have not found any updates for CF10.
Using VM VirtualBox to setup a few virtual servers, I am looking to setup a load balancing of ColdFusion 10 on 2 remote instances. The goal would be have ColdFusion Cluster Manager be able to point http request to one of the two servers based on load/availability. Not really having a hardware cluster/failover setup, just managing resources on two CF instances instead of a standalone.
The servers are Windows Server 2008 R2 with IIS7.5 and ColdFusion 10 Enterprise on installed on 3 of these machines. Let's call them CF-LBManager, CF-Web1, and CF-Web 2. In the CF Docs, they show the Cluster Manager adding the local CF instance and "if you want" a remote instance. However, this scenario would require the main instance to be running and not fail for it to direct to the other instance.
I am trying to set this up now with CF-LBManager as just a manager of the requests coming in. In the Enterprise Manager >> Instance Manager, the local instance is shown and I add the two remote instances with the correct Remote Port, JVM Route, etc. I also made sure the <Cluster>...</Cluster> block was added to the two remote instances (CF-Web1 and CF-Web2) \runtime\conf\server.xml file too, Jetty Services also is running. Now under the Enterprise Manager >> Cluster Manager I add the two remote instances to the cluster, not the local instance on CF-LBManager with Multicast Port and Sticky Sessions enabled. On Submit, I get a green message "You must restart all the server instances and any configured webservers for these changes to take effect.". I go ahead and reboot the servers and come back.
I now browse to the ColdFusion page as a test on CF-Web1 and CF-Web2 to make sure CF is running properly, they do. I then browse the IP of the CF-LBManager, however it only returns the local IIS web site and not redirect to one of the two cluster members. I am not seeing any message on the coldfusion-out.log on the remote instances. Am I not setting this up correctly or not enabling the Cluster Manager to take over and pass along the requests to those in the cluster?

Unfortunatley I don't have a lot of experience with CF10 on Windows, but if you are running CF behind IIS I think you will need to update the Tomcat connector configuraiton to do load balancing. I'm not sure if re-running the wsconfig tool on all of the servers will do this or not, but that is what I would suggest trying first. If that doesn't work you will need to update the Tomcat connector configuraiton manually. You can find more information on load balancing with the Tomcat connector here: http://tomcat.apache.org/connectors-doc/generic_howto/loadbalancers.html.

CSS Load Balancing with Cookies

We are trying to load balance 2 backend servers hosted on Websphere with advance balance cookies method.
Restrictions
ServerA is unable to accept cookies generated from ServerB.
ServerA and ServerB are generating random cookies
Unable to modify cookie string with a constant.
How can we load balance based on cookies considering the above restrictions?
We have attempted to do hash based load balancing with cookies but the problem we run into is the servers do not accept cookies generated from another server.
The configuration we tried is written below:
service ServerA
ip address 192.168.10.2
keepalive type tcp
keepalive port 80
active
service ServerB
ip address 192.168.20.2
keepalive type tcp
keepalive port 80
active
content ABC
url "/*"
add service ServerA
string prefix "JSESSIONID="
advanced-balance cookies
port 80
add service ServerB
string skip-length 5
string process-length 16
string operation hash-xor
protocol tcp
vip address 172.16.32.1
active
Can we change the string prefix to JSESSION instead of JSESSIONID= ?
The only place the app guys can add a constant string to match on is before the = sign.
Is it possible for CSS to match on a constant string before = sign e.g below:
service ServerA
ip address 192.168.10.2
keepalive type tcp
keepalive port 80
string id567=
active
service ServerB
ip address 192.168.20.2
keepalive type tcp
keepalive port 80
string id123=
active
content ABC
url "/*"
add service ServerA
string prefix "JSESSION"
advanced-balance cookies
port 80
add service ServerB
string skip-length 0
string process-length 6
protocol tcp
vip address 172.16.32.1
active

It should work.
There is no reason for it not to work...
This is the best method you can have on the CSS for stickyness.
Get a sniffer trace on the client and server with arrowpoint cookie configured on the CSS and capture a failure so we can see what is going on.
also send me the config so I can verify everything is ok.
If you have a service request open with the TAC, you can also give the SR # so I can review what has been done.

Load balancing with JSP

Anyone and everyone,
When configuring load balancing with Weblogic clusters, does load
balancing take effect for all services or just EJB and RMI? Or another
way of saying the same thing, can I setup weighted load balancing for
the JSP engines across 2 weblogic servers.
Thanks in advance,
Mike

The load-balancing documentation you read describing the different algorithms only applies to RMI stubs (e.g., EJB clients). Please see http://www.weblogic.com/docs51/cluster/concepts.html#1026091 for a description of how load-balancing/clustering works with servlets/JSPs.
The short answer is that in using servlet clustering, most people want/need/use in-memory replication for HttpSession objects. In WLS 5.1 (and before), in-memory replication requires one or more proxy servers be set-up in front of the cluster. Typically, most people use something like BigIP to load-balance
across the proxy servers and let the weblogic plug-in for the proxy server handle the routing to the cluster. The plug-in uses round-robin until an HttpSession is established for a user, then it always tries to route to the server where the user's session is located.
Hope this helps,
Robert

All,
I have a quesiton here regarding load balancing with DNS round robin. As of Chapter Adminstration of Clustering Weblogic server, Weblogic can be configured to balance by weight. How about Weblogic handle weight based balancing after DNS round robin ip response? or just can choose one way instead of both?
What's the big difference between choosing BigIP and software balancing (WL)?

I don't think you can configure this load balancing in weblogic in current
release. However, if you have Big-IP or LocalDireoctr, you can set up
weighted load-balancing there. Otherwise, weblogic proxy will use DNS round

My 2 cents.

Load Balancing with BigIP / SSL question

I have an oddball question. We're load balancing ColdFusion
MX7 across 3 servers using a BigIP load balancing server. We
decided to go the hardware approach and it has been great except
for one small configuration issue.
We use a mix of SSL and non SSL pages, prior to the switch
from a single server to a load balanced setup I used to script that
would determine if a page that was supposed to be SSL had the
variable CGI.HTTPS turned on or off. If it was off, the page would
redirect back to itself with the SSL turned on.
The problem we have is that we followed BigIP's instruction
to secure the load balancing hardware instead of the three servers
running behind it. So what happens is that the traffic goes to the
load balancer port 441, but then the calls from the load balancer
to the individual servers is port 80. So even if a page is called
as HTTPS://... the coldfusion server says that CGI.HTTPS is "off"
since the traffic is port 80.
This isn't much of a problem, our SSL pages are linked as
HTTPS:// and the only problem would actually arise if someone was
to type in the URL and call it as HTTP rather than HTTPS.
My questions is this, does anyone know of a way that I can
detect if the page should be HTTPS and is not without changing our
configuration and putting SSL certificates on each individual
server?

Hey,
Well the load balancing with the BigIP device is really very
amazing. I think
what i liked most was swapping out servers when their lease
was up, through the
BigIP manager I just stopped all traffic to a server, shut it
down, plugged in
the new one and turned traffic back on. It was really very
easy.
The SSL stuff still gives me a headache to think about. but
I should mention I
no longer work where I was, plus now I'm all .net C# but
that's a different
story.
I think if I was going to do this all again I would not have
secured the bigIP
unit. It was nice to buy one SSL cert for all the servers I
attached rather
than one per server, but getting the SSL sites to work
properly was a headache.
We also use windows file replication where now I would go
with like a pair of
Dell MD1000's mirrored for storage and just have tons of ram
and cpu on the
front end units. Depends what you want to spend I guess. I
think the bigIP unit
we bought was like 20 grand, i think they are cheaper now
though.
Hope I helped.

Load Balancing with ALBPM 6.0

Hi -
We have had some challenges with load balancing in WebLogic Server 9.2.2 with ALBPM 6.0. We have tried to set the Front End HTTP host and ports on the cluster and individual hosts with no luck. Anyone else have a similar problem?

Hi PR,
Please take a look at the following link:-
http://help.sap.com/SAPHELP_NWPI71/helpdata/EN/28/75153a1a5b4c2de10000000a114084/frameset.htm
"You can only use the SAP message server for HTTP load distribution if
the browser is the direct client of the message server. If another
component lies between the client (browser) and the message server, (for
example, the portal), you cannot use the message server to distribute
the load."
When using the External ITS you could balance the load using the message server and logon groups. In 700 this functionality is not present if there is not a direct connection to the client (Firefox or IE). So you will have to install the webdispatcher to balance the load.
Hope this helps
Michael

Load Balancing With Round Robin

Hi,
I have two iAS instances, each on their own box, and one iWS instance
running on a third box. I have setup the web connector to use round
robin and added the server weights. I believe that is all that is to it
to do simple load balancing with iAS. The problem is is that the
requests only go to one iAS instance. The server weights are 1 and 1.
Am I missing something here?
Thanks

Could be lots of things.
The most common misconfiguration is testing an application that is deployed "local". This application option effectively disables load balancing.
Another common mistake is to either not update the configuration of the webconnector (if the webconnector
has a seperate configuration LDAP) or to not restart
the webconnector after the configuration change.
Hope this helps. There's more things we could try, but I'll hope its one of these two easy things.

Getting load-balancing with distributed destination to work...

Hello,
          I try to setup a proof of concept for balancing heavy load over several JMS server instances on WLS 8.1 SP4:
          I have
          - 2 managed servers in 1 cluster plus adminserver on 1 machine (WinXP)
          - 1 JMS server on each server (no migrateable targets used), having 1 physical queue
          - 1 distributed queue deployed to the cluster, consisting of the two physical queues
          - 1 connection factory deployed to the cluster with round-robin load-balancing enabled, and server affinity disabled
          - 1 test JSP using the connection factory from above, doing a complete re-connection per test message
          - 1 MDB ejb module deployed to the cluster
          and the result is:
          1. Calling the JSP through the second server instance load-balances messages on both JMS servers, that's fine ...
          BUT
          2. Calling the JSP through the first server instance processes all messages on the first server instance's JMS server, no message is ever sent to the second server.
          What could be the reason for the different behaviour of both servers?
          extract from config.xml used:
          <Cluster

Load balancing with A-Gate

Hi All,
I wish to configure my single W-Gate (Linux) to load balance with 2 A-Gate (Window). Can anyone help?
Regards
Lauran

Hello Lauran,
I'm assuming that you already have the ITS working with one AGate server. To load balance between two you need to install the ITS AGate again on the second server with the same ITS instance name. Then on the WGate server you will need to modify the ItsRegistryWgate.xml. Under the <key name="Instances"> you will find a section already for this ITS instance name, like ITS1. You will need to copy and paste the Agate1 section and make it Agate2, change the Host name and the PortAGate and PortMManager and then save and restart. The finished section should look like:
- <key name="ITS1">
- <key name="Values">
<value name="Available" type="text">yes</value>
<value name="Name" type="text">ITS1</value>
<value name="DocumentRoot" type="text">c:\its1081</value>
<value name="ServerName" type="text">Apache2 (virtual host: default:1081)</value>
<value name="NIReceiveRetryCount" type="text">0</value>
<value name="NIReceiveTimeout" type="text">0</value>
<value name="NISendTimeout" type="text">0</value>
</key>
- <key name="Agates">
- <key name="Agate1">
<value name="Host" type="text">Hostname1</value>
<value name="PortAGate" type="text">sapavw00_ITS1</value>
<value name="PortMManager" type="text">sapavwmm_ITS1</value>
