Mixed application server environment with z/OS

Hello,
I'm looking for more information from SAP when running a system in a mixed application server platform environment.   In other words, the system would look like the following:
1.  Central instance (only MS and EN processes -  i.e. standalone enqueue) running on AIX
2.  Dialog instance (disp+work processes - i.e. spool, batch, dialog, upd) running on Windows 2003 or Linux
3.  Database running on z/OS
I see from the Product Available Matrix, that Windows and/or Linux are supported with z/OS, but there is no mention of running a mixed environment as described above.
Any help/guidance would be appreciated.
Regards,
David

Yes, we have already been down the road of zLinux. Thanks to some pricing issues on the DB2 z/OS side, we had to give up our IFLs and thus zLinux. Our application servers are now on Windows 2003 x64. Even when we were on zLinux, we were forced to run some Windows application servers for Adobe Document Services as this is not supported on zLinux and SAP/Adobe have thus far refused to port it.
The inconsistency is that while SAP says it is "ok" to use something like SAMBA to share out SAPMNT and have it work under windows, it introduces unneeded complexity in many areas. SAP note 680617 describes this process. For us, it was a neverending headache with the unix vs windows text file format differences (supposedly handled by instance parameter abap/NTfmode=b) and there are complications for path names for batch jobs, etc.
I am sure all of those issues can be sorted out eventually, but it is just much easier to stick with one application server platform.
If you're considering zLinux, I would be extremely careful. There are only a handful of SAP customers in the world running it. Most likely you'll run into problems that no other customer has encountered yet and which will require a PTF or a new SAP kernel to fix (when you can finally get them). We ran into one such problem communicating to the ASCS/SCS in USS from zLinux over hipersockets. This really plagued our project team with hung locks (especially during LSMW imports of master data) until SAP released kernel 150 for zLinux which coded around the "unexpected" extreme low latency of hipersockets.
Caveat emptor.

  • Creating Oracle Application Server Environment?

    Hi All,
    i am new to AS
    i need to know the way that i should build my Application server environment
    suppose i am a company that sells a software package, i have 2 clients for this package
    so i should install
    1 infrastructure (for both clients)
    1 middle tear (for both clients)
    2 application servers ( 1 each)
    please help as i asked a lot of questions before and no one reply me, it seems that this forum is not very active like the DB Admin one
    Thanks for any contribution

    If you are actively supporting 2 clients, but the codestream for each is the same then you really only need one AS... just use 2 databases and access the relevant one depending on your url parameters.
    You could create seperate AS but sounds like overkill to me.

  • SNC configuration in multiple application server environment

    Hello Experts,
    We are planning for SNC configuration between ECC 6  and NW04s Portal systems.
    ECC 6.0 is running with Central Instance and two application servers.
    NW04s EP is running with 4 server nodes.
    I am very much clear about setting up SNC between ABAP and JAVA running with single application server and server node.
    But totally confused about SNC/SSL setup in multiple server environment. Would really appreciate if you can provide some ideas/docuements on setting up SNC/SSL in multiple server environment.
    1. Do we need to create multiple PSE for each of the ABAP application server? If yes then would the CN should be same or different.
    2. If we create only one PSE for central instance and copy this to other application server - will this work.
    Looking forward to hear from your experiences.

  • Error creating a new BPEL domain in a 2 server environment with common DS

    I want to create two new BPEL domains, one for production and one for test env
    instead of using the default domain.
    There are two application servers with BPEL PM (10.1.2.0.2) using the same
    Dehydration Store. Active-Active mode, no cluster.
    A new BPEL domain is created successfully with BPEL Admin Console in server A.
    The problem is the server B knows nothing about the new domain. I cannot select
    the new domain on BPEL Console login page on server B.
    When I tried to create the same domain in server B the following error
    occured:
    Exception
    Operation failed because:
    Error updating domain index.
    An exception occurred while writing the domain index (id"szolinfo", ref "1") to
    the datastore; the exception reported is: ORA-00001: unique constraint
    (ORABPEL.DOM_PK) violated
    Please check that:
    + the machine hosting the datasource is physically connected to the
    network.
    + the connection pool properties as defined in the application server
    startup properties are valid.
    + the database schema for the OraBPEL server has been installed in the
    datasource.
    This is because the two servers are using the same database.
    The new domain require a new folder and a lot of files also inside the domains
    folder on server A and B. On server A this is created by BPEL Admin Console.
    How to create the same domain in server B?
    Are there any scripts/tools to use for this reason?

    These steps on Server B resolved the problem:
    1: cp -r domains/default domains/<new-domain-name>
    2. cd domain/<new-domain-name>/config
    3. Edit the following files by replacing the string 'default' with the name of your
    new created domain in the following
    elements/attributes:
    archive-config.xml: <value>/home/mla/app/bpel101202/integration/orabpel/domains/de
    fault/archive</value>
    domain.xml: <bpel-domain-descriptor version="2.0.6" id="default">
    4: In the case that the password for the domain is different compared to the default domain, the file 'auth.properties' has
    to be copied over from the server where the domain was created.
    5. Restart the BPEL PM

  • Application Server Configuration with Multi-threaded Server

    Hi, friends:
    We seems to have some problem with our OAS configuration. Even our Oracle8 server is set as MTS, when we query through the OAS, everytime one request won't be processed until the previous one finished. How to configure OAS to process queries in parellel?
    Also, is there anyway that we can cancel a running query? Because, usually our query is very time-consuming. But even we stopped it apparently in the interface end, we know it is still running backend. Performance is bad.

  • How to front-end Oracle Application Server 10g with Apache 2.0

    Hello,
    I have a seperate apache tier from my oracle app tier and I want to use my compiled apache as a web front-end for oracle apps. I have a completely default configuration at the moment.
    The only documentation I have been able to find on Oracle's site is in regard to using mod_oc4j.so with Oracle HTTP server.
    Is a compiled build of apache supported with mod_oc4j?
    Where can I get the mod_oc4j.so module for apache?
    Is there any good documentation I can use for installing it?

    You mean to say, you found mod_oc4j.so module on Application Server CD ?
    It will surely be there, cos it's an Oracle supplied module.
    The Oracle HTTP Server is based on Apache 1.3 web server.
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25221_04/web.1013/b25211/overview.htm#sthref12
    If you already have an Application Server 10g installation then go to:
    $ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Apache/libexecTake mod_oc4j.so, mod_rewrite.so modules from here.
    LoadModule mod_oc4j in httpd.conf file of Apache:
    LoadModule rewrite_module libexec/mod_rewrite.so
    LoadModule oc4j_module libexec/mod_oc4j.so
    Make sure to load mod_rewrite.so before mod_oc4j.
    Restart Apache.

  • Save the o/p of the query in Application Server, Filename with Timestamp

    Dear Experts,
    I have a scenario that on 1st of every month, a query needs to execute and save the output of that query in Application Server, Filename along with Timestamp.
    For ex: Production_19/09/2011
    So, I Created a Query Extract in RSCRM_REPORT and gave the path name and scheduled. The output of the query is saved successfully in Application Server.
    But I need Timestamp along with Filename.
    Please help me out with the timestamp issues, how could I include Timestamp with Filename (Query Name).
    Thanks,

    Hi chaith,
    You can achieve the result with out any code. You have to use the APD concept to extract the query to a file.
    check the following link which help you to create a logical path

    you can use the path in the APD.

  • Connect oracle application server 10g with oracle database 9i

    Hello, I am doing a project with Oracle Application Server and application server can not connect with my Oracle 9i database, how do my version of Oracle Application Server is the 10g, thanks for the help and excuse my English

    Well, now it depends how do you want to access your 9i database from Application Server via J2EE application deployed at Application Server or via Portal.
    For J2EE application, you can use connect string for your 9i database in datasources.xml of J2EE app.
    For Portal application, again it depends what you want to do - create an data entry application or just want to fetch a report based on 9i database.
    Hope I have provided answer to your question.

  • JBoss Application server setup with netbeans IDE.

    Hi All,
    I need to configure the JBoss Application server with netbeans IDE. I have tried this scenario,
    1) Unzip the jboss-4.2.2.GA.zip into jboss dir.
    2) Selected the JBoss Application server 4.
    3) And i have set the Installation location like this j:/jboss/jboss-4.2.2.GA. In this i got some problem.
    The problem is: Next button did not selected.
    Error: provide valid installation dir path.
    How to resolve this problem? Can anyone give suggestions for resolving this error?
    Its very urgent!!

    A couple of things:
    1. if you are using SJSAS 9.0 it's Glassfish v1 (not v2 - that's probably for the 9.1 version? I don't know, I'm running 9.0 and installs fine with Gf v1 - thanks for the tip, btw!)
    2. as for the domain, just pick the default offered (unless you have some specific requirement) - in any event, it's under the domains/domain1 folder
    you can always create a new one and register (it will have its very own folder under /domains) but given that's probably a dev box, I can hardly see the point (and when I did it a long time ago, it was more pain that any human being should be subjected to :-)
    Finally, one cannot but wonder why on earth someone (at Sun) developed NB and put Sun Java Application Server (developed at Sun) as one of the options that won't work with SJAS 9.0+ (developed at Sun) but one has to instead choose Glassfish (developed at Sun) and that won't work if one chooses v2 instead of v1 if it's SJAS 9.0 instead of 9.1 (or vice versa)...
    Don't these guys test the thingy with THEIR own stuff?
    Don't get me wrong, I totally love Sun, and all the good stuff they come up with (NB, SJAS, etc. etc.) but done it properly it would help them to gain market share, now, wouldn't it?

  • Sun Application Server 9 with https

    I want to run my Web application with https. When users access
    http://www.myweb.com, I want the Web server to automatically redirect to https://www.myweb.com. However, I am running into a few issues:
    1. How do I tell Application Server 9 to create a listener on the default port. Right now, I have the listener using port 80 - users will have to enter https://www.myweb.com:80. I don't want to require them to enter :80. I thought a listener on 80 automatically listens to URLs, even if they don't include that port. But, when I type in the URL without port, all I get is a "Gateway Timeout Error". What do I need to do to set up the port correctly?
    2. In the screen where I set up the listener, I checked the "Security: Enabled" check box. Now, when I load the Web application, the listener listens on https:. Now, how do I tell the application server to forward requests for http:// to https://?
    Thank you!

    I think I got it to work. Here is my solution: http://forums.java.net/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=23294&tstart=0
    Mike, I am trying to award to you Duke Stars, but the server returns a "server error" (http://forum.java.sun.com/rewards.jspa?doActions=reward&threadID=5138687&messageID=9514552&dukes=10) when I click on the duke. Sorry! I'll try again in a few days.

  • Sun Java Application Server Performance with Web Services

    We are running a web service on SJAS (Standard Edition). Load testing under 1 or 2 users works alright, but with 5 users making concurrent web service calls it immediately crashes the domain. Has anyone else run into performance issues when using SJAS with Web Services? Are there any configuration parameters we need to setup to handle more than 1 connection?
    I'm sure that the application server can handle many concurrent connections, just not sure how to configure and where to look for more information. If anyone is aware of actual numbers for load testing, that would be great information.
    Thanks,
    Dawson

    Hi Dawson,
    SJSAS can definetly handle more users. Can you please tell us, what version of SJSAS and web services (jax-rpc 1.1 or jax-ws 2.0?) implementation you are using? When you say it crashes the domain, do you see any error messages in the server.log?
