Multiple PIA/Application servers to one database?

We're planning an upgrade to PT 8.50, FSCM 9.1 and with this upgrade we want to add access for outside customers/vendors. What's the best way to configure an internal employee site/app, and a customer site/app to one production database? Is it as simple as installing different application servers and PIAs, point them all to the one database, and configure 1 PIA as EMPLOYEE and the others as CUSTOMER? Or should we also need use Portal 9.0? I've been doing some research into this, but was hoping to hear some real-world experience and advice from anyone else that's set up anything similar.
Thanks,
-rob

you can have a PIA built for outside customers hitting the same database.
you can even have separate PIA hitting same app servers and db.
If you are planning on having an external site outside your firewall - for CUSTOMER (portal) make sure the external site is built to work only for CUSTOMER portal.
u might also want to design your customer ID base - using specific permissions and roles.
hope this helps.

Create multiple portal instances with only one database?

Can someone create multiple portal instances with only one database?
If so, how is this done, just by running the portal configuration wizard?
How are most people running with multiple developers working on portal? Do they share a portal instance, or create their own?
Thank you very much!
Phillip

i'm currently using 9ias rel 2(9.0.2) and i have install one infrastructure and two mid tier, hoping that this will create two portal, but it didn't. Can you please tell me how to do create two portal within one server.

Use EMCLI to get list of Application Servers related to Databases?

Hi,
Is it possible to use EMCLI to get from OEM a list of Application Servers related to Databases? If not, is there another method recommended by Oracle?
Thanks,
Yoni

Mohana,
I want my Replication Program to:
1. Create a copy of all objects stored in specific schema at the remote site in a local schema.
2. Be able to replicate the addition and removal of records.
Database link has been created between remote and local schema.You can query the remote site as if it is part of your local database and hence you can query the system tables to find out what objects are in remote site.
When query the system tables i want to look for objects that are owned by HAROON.

Multiple Currency Applications sharing a currency database

Is it possible to share a currency database among multiple essbase applications?

not in the tradition sense where you create it in an application and it is linked to the standard DB. You could create a generic one and use partitions or xref to get the conversion rates from it.

Can FCS be set up in multiple offices - Would that be one database or can we synchronize several - I need general architecture concept

Can FCS be set up in multiple offices/locations - Would that be one database or can we synchronize several databases - I need general architecture concept

If you want to link to separated location which are too far from each other to connect via Ethernet or FC you can't. What you can do is build another FCS with a completely independent DB and link both with XML and scripting (or if you have a very good DB knowledge). Other than that you can put the FCS DB in one location and make the clients on the other connect to the first one. But if the issue is to ingest media from both locations to the same DB then you better have a nice and big Ethernet connection between both locations.
Hope this help

Can XSQL create multiple session variables using only one database call?

Right now if I want to set session variables for username and accesslevel, I code out like this:
<xsql:set-session-param name="name" bind-params="username password">
SELECT DISTINCT USERNAME
FROM LKUP_USER
WHERE USERNAME = ? AND PASSWORD = ? AND ACCESSLEVEL = 0
</xsql:set-session-param>
<xsql:set-session-param name="authlvl" bind-params="username password">
SELECT DISTINCT ACCESSLEVEL
FROM LKUP_USER
WHERE USERNAME = ? AND PASSWORD = ? AND ACCESSLEVEL = 0
</xsql:set-session-param>Is there any way to do it so that I don't have to do multiple queries to the database to set session variables? i.e., something like this:
<xsql:set-multiple-session-param name="user authlvl" bind-params="username password">
SELECT DISTINCT USERNAME,
ACCESSLEVEL
FROM LKUP_USER
WHERE USERNAME = ? AND PASSWORD = ? AND ACCESSLEVEL = 0
</xsql:set-multiple-session-param>Sort of like how bind-params works. Setting bind-params="username password" makes the first ? akin to username and the next ? akin to password.
Is this functionality already in existence?
Thanks!

Not currently possible to collapse into one request without doing it in a custom action handler.
A custom action handler can:
[list=1]
[*]Get the current JDBC connection from the XSQLPageRequest
[*]Get the SQL statement to perform using the function getActionElementContent
[*]Handle any bind parameters specified an a bind-params attribute on the action element by calling handleBindVariables()
[*]Execute and fetch the row from the query
[*]Check to see that the return value of getPageRequest().getRequestType() equals the value "Servlet"
[*]Cast the page request to an XSQLServletPageRequest and call getHttpServletRequest()
[*]Call getSession() on the request
[*]Set the session variables you want to
[*]Close the JDBC statement
[list]
will consider a built-in enhancement for a future XSQL release.

Clone and consoliate all application servers to one??

we are doing clone EBS system testing. our EBS system is following:
1. database server
2. primary application server -- all modules except batch process
3. secondly application server -- all modules except batch process
4. addition application server -- batch process only
after clone we plan have following structure:
1. database server
2. application server -- all modules
Is it possible?
How to do it?
Thanks.

Yes, it is possible. Refer the following note (Reducing the number of nodes of a multi-node system (merge APPL_TOP)).

Multiple stand alone servers using one radius server?

Hello, I have a question.
I'm working for a company and our problem is we need a username and password for every server.
We would like to set up a Radius server using an extension so it can use a SQL database for the users.
Is it possible to put 1 username and 1 password for each user in this database so we don't need more then one for each server?
Also can we set up policy's for those users so they can't access every stand-alone server.
Kind Regards,
Michael

Hi,
Based on my research, when a RADIUS client (access server) sends connection requests and accounting messages to a RADIUS server, the RADIUS server will sends back an Access-Accept message or sends back an Access-Reject message to authenticate and authorize
the connection requests based on a set of rules and the information in the user account database. The Access-Accept message can contain connection restrictions that are implemented by the access server for the duration of the connection.
In addition, according to your description, it seems that you used the SQL database as the User account database. Did you use NPS as a RADIUS server? If yes, maybe you can configure related network policy to restrict access. I would appreciate it if you can
introduce more detailed information about your environment. The link below may be helpful:

Check SITSPMON at multiple application servers at once

Dear Sirs,
we are in a setting with close to 10 application servers. To the memory consumption and current status on my system, I need to check SITSMON on every application server.
Is there an easy way to get a STISPMON like (e.g watch memory) on all the application servers in one go?
best regards,
Jørgen

Dear Jørgen,
at the moment we do not have an easy way to monitor more than one application server within SITSPMON. I am the developer of SITSPMON and happy to read your question. I do agree in your wish to have a feature like this.
How to implement? I would suggest to provide an additional check box in the dialog panes for
*the memory staistics,
*the HTML templates cache directory, and
*the Mutex lock statistics.
This checkbox allows to switch between 'system' and 'application server mode' checking it will result in an enhaced table, containing an additional column for the appl server...
Do you agree? Better ideas? If this fits to your requirement, I will implement this. And ideas are welcome always.
BTW: Did you already check the CCMS? There a technical experts monitor for the internal ITS. This might be helpful four you.
best regards
Tobias

More than one Database Server on one host

Hallo,
We want to implement two systems on one host with MaxDb as database. I know it is possible to run 2 DB-Instances on one host, is it possible to upgrade or patch one instance without inflicting the other one with this changes?
For example:
I have the development and test system on one host with two database instances running. is it possible to only upgrade the Database Instance of the Development System without upgrading the test instance.
I know it is possible in Oracle but is this also possible for MaxDB?
I hope you can give me an answer.
best regards,
Patrick Volny

Hello Patrick,
1) "If I understand you correctly, I am able to patch each Instance separately but because the instances share the same kernel to upgrade an Database I have to upgrade all instances?"
    Answer: You can update the database instance separately.
                   As the independent database software is shared between database instances, located in /sapdb/programs by default installation and it's downward compatible
                  ==>
                  you could upgrade only one database instance & run the another database instance with the higher version of the independent database software.
   Warning: Please follow the recommended structure of the database software installation & install the dependent on the version of the database system software once for each database instance.
                  By default it's installed in /sapdb/<SID>/db
    Example : On the local server ::
dbmcli db_enum
OK
SC1#C:\sapdb\sc1\db                        #7.6.04.11#fast#running
SC1#C:\sapdb\sc1\db                        #7.6.04.11#slow#offline
LVC750#c:\sapdb\lvc750\db                     #7.6.00.21#fast#offline
LVC750#c:\sapdb\lvc750\db                     #7.6.00.21#slow#offline
xinstinfo SC1
IndepData           : C:\sapdb\data
IndepPrograms       : C:\sapdb\programs
InstallationPath    : C:\sapdb\sc1\db
Kernelversion       : KERNEL    7.6.04   BUILD 011-123-181-372
Rundirectory        : c:\sapdb\data\wrk\SC1
xinstinfo LVC750
IndepData           : C:\sapdb\data
IndepPrograms       : C:\sapdb\programs
InstallationPath    : c:\sapdb\lvc750\db
Kernelversion       : KERNEL    7.6.00   BUILD 021-123-117-795
Rundirectory        : c:\sapdb\data\wrk\LVC750
In my case, I have installed two database instances of the versions 7.6.00   BUILD 021 and 7.6.04   BUILD 011 on one server,
Independent database software is installed in C:\sapdb\programs and each database instance has own InstallationPath.
And you could run also 'sdbregview -l' to get the short list of all installed database packages, pay attention to the "Database Kernel" package
for the dependent database software installation path/version.
2) "I also read that to patch an instance you have to stop an x server service. But this service is necessary for the communication between applications and the database. so if i patch an instance the second one can't work properly?"
The X Server is needed for the client to establish the connection to a database instance located on a remote computer. As you know the X Server is the communication server for the database system. The X Server listens out for connection requests from clients such as database applications and database tools.
As I already wrote you, that the independent database software is downward compatible & you should not have the problems with the communication to the Test database on the TEST system.
I case you would like to know more details about the database version software, if there are any known problems, please update with additional information::
      What are the current versions of the DEV and Test databases?
      Did you install the application servers on the database server or not?
      To what version of the database are you going to update the DEV database instance?
       What is the version/SP of the SAP basis on the TEST system?
        What is the version/patch of the SAP kernel on the TEST system?
3) The installation distinguishes between different software directories, as you already know.
For example, the following directories:
       - <independent_program_path>
          SAP Standard:/sapdb/programs
          Run the command 'dbmcli -s dbm_getpath IndepProgPath' or 'xinstinfo' to get the current value on your system.
          !!!! This directory contains instance- or version-independent software that works downwardly-compatible.
       - <independent_data_path>
          SAP Standard:/sapdb/data
           Run the command 'dbmcli -s dbm_getpath IndepDataPath' or 'xinstinfo' to get the current value on your system.
       - <independent_data_path>/config
          SAP Standard:/sapdb/data/config
       - <InstallationPath>
SAP standard: /sapdb/<SID>/db
       - <run_directory>
SAP standard: /sapdb/data/wrk/SID
If you are SAP customer,
please see the SAP notes::

MDM 7.1 SP7, Install Several Instances in one database?

Hello,
we are investigating to install MDM 7.1 Sp7 with several instances to separate impact in different repositories, but with one database (oracle). Has someone done this kind of installations? Has it improved stability?
Regards,
Alexander Türk

Hello,
This clearly says, it adds a new, but nothing of multiple instances.
For an MDM environment to work, we require three Servers, Master Data Server(MDS), Import Server(MDIS), Syndication Server(MDIS).
MDIS and MDSS run in conjunction with MDS.
This refers to the multiple instances, but in all it will an single installation across environment.
You will have the basic Development, Quality and production, each will have a different installation.
an extract from help.sap.com site
Support for Installing and Running Multiple MDM Server Components on a Single Machine
Starting from MDM 7.1 SP06, you can install and run multiple MDM server components on one physical machine.
One advantage of installing multiple MDM server components on a single machine, as opposed to loading multiple MDM repositories on a single Master Data Server (MDS), is that parallel execution of imports/syndications to/from loaded MDM repositories is possible. Another advantage is that you can have two repositories for separate projects on two different MDM versions on the same machineu2014resulting in reduced TCO. (In previous releases you would be required to separate the repositories on two different MDM servers, and adhere to the recommendation that the Master Data Import Server (MDIS) and Master Data Syndicator Server (MDSS) be run on a separate machine from the Master Data Server (MDS)).
Each Master Data Import Server (MDIS) and Master Data Syndicator Server (MDSS) must be configured to work with one particular MDS only.
You can distribute the MDM server components according to the following hardware configuration options:
●      Multiple Master Data Servers on one machine with remote MDM Import/Syndication Servers on a second machine, and a DBMS on a third machine.
●      Multiple Master Data Servers and MDM Import/Syndication Servers on one machine with a remote DBMS on a separate machine.
●      Multiple Master Data Servers, MDM Import/Syndication Servers, and a DBMS all on one machine.
Test results show that hardware sizing parameters are almost identical for all the aforementioned configuration options; therefore the configuring option you choose should be based solely on your preferred hardware setup.

SAP R/3 Enterprise : Background job run on application servers

Hello All,
For our SAP system (SAP_BASIS 620, SAP_ABA 620,SAP_APPL 470), there are 5 application servers and one central instance.
We have a Background job that connects to external non sap system for data delivery via RFC of Type "G" i.e.HTTP Connection to Ext. Server with port 443 . RFC works fine.
In transaction STRUST, SSL certificates are also installed to enable the https connectivity from R3 system.
Our current issue is that background jon runs on one of the application server correctly and is able to transfer that data to external system. However if same job runs on other 4 application server, it fails to connect to external server and throws error:
RFC Destination XXXX not defined
407 Unknown error
Failed to store the XML content
Error in the XML document: 1301540.xml
407 Unknown error
This is very starnge for us .RFC is working correctly every time but background job works on one AS and not on other AS.
Where and What can be the difference in application servers.
Please help to send in ur replies. Thanks
Edited by: Chetna Verma on Apr 27, 2011 1:46 PM

Hi,
Is there a firewall between the non SAP system and the SAP system ? It could be that firewall rules have only been set for one only of the SAP application servers ?
Did you check the HTTP connections from each application server ?
Did you check that the ICM is running on each SAP application server ?

Load balancing across multiple application servers not working with JCo RFC

We have a problem where inbound messages to the Mapping Runtime engine (ABAP -> J2EE) are not load balanced over application servers. However, load balancing does take place across server nodes within one application server.
Our system comprises of the following:
Central Instance (2 X server nodes)
Database Instance
2 X Dialog Instances (with 2 X server nodes each)
The 1st application server that starts is usually the one that is used for inbound messaging.
We have looked at the sap gateway configuration and have tried various options without much luck:
i.e.: local gateways vs. one central gateway, load balancing type by changing parameter gw/reg_lb_level, see: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/bb/9f12f24b9b11d189750000e8322d00/frameset.htm
