Netweaver CE No Server Nodes Available

Hello Gurus
I have just installed Netweaver CE... when i want to deploy a aplication it appers a message that says "No server Nodes Avalible"
En Sap Console (Sapmmc) it doesnot apper CE1 DataBase, but i know that the server is running
My XP SO doesnt have Administrator password
Please help me
thanks
Luis

Hi,
i've discovered the same problem in my trial installation. Server was running but no server nodes visible in NWDS.
Try this:
- Open NWDS
- Change to perspective "SAP Management Console (SAP MC)"
- Add new Instance by using context menu in the server nodes panel
- Enter as Instance "1"
Now the Server nodes should appear.
Sorry, if I can't provide more detailed information, but I haven't access to my system at the moment
Hope it helps you,
Regards

Need info regarding PI Server Node availability

Dear All,
I have a customized monitoring tool (automated tool) developed to do PI message monitoring. Now I am planning to add a few other options to this tool like Server Cache status, ICM status and Server Node status.
I have two app servers and 4 nodes on them. I have seen Server Node's status getting displayed in NWA & somewhere in RZ20. But I am not able to retrieve the table name or the program name from where these details are extracted.
Can some one help me with this.
Thanks in advance for your reply!.
Best Regards,
Kumaran

Hi Bhaskar,
Yes you can do this without IR.
Just create a Business Service/ Business System and after that give any dummy(u can write abc) name for namespace, outbound interface, inbound intreface. The only thing u have to mention currectly is FTP address and the file name in sender and receiver communicatioin channel.
thanks,

EP7.0 - Adding server nodes (processes) and managing all the logs

First, can anyone confirm whether the Template Configuration Tool is used with Portal 7.0 (NW2004s)? All of the documentation I find is for Portal 6.0. If you use the Template Configuration Tool, it will match the resources available on your server to the type of J2EE you will be running which is the route I prefer to take. Otherwise, I'll add the nodes manually with configtool.
Second, is it a best practice to just stick to one server node (server0) on your DEV system? I would think that would make analyzing all of those fun logs much easier.
Third, are there any best practices for managing all of those logs if you start adding additional nodes. I have server0 on the QA system with 2048MB of Heap. I plan to add server1, server2 and server3 ... all with 2048MB of Heap. But then the number of logs is 4 times for everything. The Portal Tuning guide suggests turning off unnecessary logging which I will do but our developers want a convenient way to do research and we don't want them overwhelmed with logs.
We are setting up Solution Manager Diagnostics now so I haven't seen it's functionality. Will it make log anaysis more streamlined and easier to find relevant data even if you have 4 server nodes?

Hi Richard,
A1: NO!!! do not use the Template Configuration Tool on NW7.0 as it sets properties that are not valid or optimal anymore.
A2: I don't know if there is a best practice about it but I do know that it is best practice to have atleast 2 servernodes per instance because this helps you top optimize your resources when 1 servernode is in Full Garbage Collection the other still can use the CPU to process (Presented on SAP Insider Infra & Admin in Orlando 2008).
A3: Regarding the logging This is just how it is made... every servernode logs for itsself...
Use NetWeaver Administrator (/nwa) to auto consoldate the loggin info. It's slow but eventualy it does the job. You can give developers an NWA read-only role (shipped by default) to look at the logs.
A4: SMD makes central monitoring and diagnostic possible for your complete landscape.
You can configure a central NWA on the SMD host. The solution as proposed by A3 is already helping you to manage your issue (consolidating logs of multiple servernodes.. >2 )
Good Luck!

Problem with cache refresh entity bean / server node

Hello,
ive got a big problem and not found answer in sdn until now.
Ive got a job that gets data from maxdb by sapjob - jco - session bean - entity bean - database.
this job works daily. the data to work with is written directly to database from external.
on first execute it works, but second etc not. i search for answer and i guess something:
entity bean is cached (increase percormance?) with results of the select and do not know about new database entries when they are written directly to database. so second select says: there is no new data (but they are there).
i only get this new data when i restart netweaver server node, then it works, but only for one time. then result is in cache and then i have to do same procedure before it goes (restart server).
how can i get this data? is there any setting for force node to refresh cache? or any other settings to affect something like this?
we have to go live with this in august.
thx for help.
Version: NW04, SP21

thanks at first.
OSS was the next step i consider, enforcedly.
I hoped that there was a kind of timeout in visual admin or somewhere else where (for example) i can set a special time (seconds?) for refreshig the cache. Or i can set a flag for "do not cache entity beans".
Someone else any idea?
Nowadays on test system whe have made a task that starts windows every night so that netweaver also is "fresh". a kind of resolution but not the best and no resolution for the productiv system. or whe have to write a kind of batch job that only restarts server node once a day.
New Info:
I think cache was filled directly after restart.
when we restart, then data are written, and then our application wanted to read them, they are also not seen.
The data are only seen by bean when the restart takes place AFTER the data are written into db.
So we change restart time to point after data are written. so we will test if this works, on monday we will see.

HTTP Server High Availability

Hello All.
I have a question regarding OC4J and HTTP server High Availability.
I want to do something like the Figure 3-1 of the Oracle Application Server High Availability Guide 10.1.2. See this link
http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_11/core.1012/b14003/midtierdesc.htm#CIHCEDFC
What I have now is the following:
Three hosts
Two of them are an OAS 10.1.2 which we already configured the Cluster and deployed our applications (used this tutorial: http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/obe_as_1012/j2ee/deploy/j2eecluster/farmcluster.htm)
Let's say this nodes are:
- host1
- host2
The other one is the Oracle WebCache stand alone (will act as Load Balancer). We will call this
- hostwc3
We already configured the WebCache as Load Balancer and is working just fine. We also configured the session replication successful and work great with our applications.
What we have not clear is the following:
When a client try to visit http://hostwc3/application/ the LOAD BALANCER routes him to, let's say http://host1/application/ and in the browser's URL will not show the Virtual Server anymore (the webcache server) and will show the actual real Apache address (host1 )that is attending him. IF we "kill" on ENTIRE host1 (apache, oc4j, etc..) the clients WILL perceive the down and if they try to press F5, the will try to access to an Apache that doesn't is up and running.... The behavior expected is that the browser NEVER shows the actual Apache URL, so, when some apache goes down, the client do not disconnect (as it happens with and OC4J downfall ) and always works with the "virtual web server".
I came up with some ideas but I want you Guys to give me an advice:
- In Web Cache, do not route for load balancing to Apache, and route the Oc4J directly (Is this possible?)
- Configure a HTTP Server Cluster, this means that we have to have a "Virtual Name"to the Apaches (two of them). Is this possible? how?
- Use the rewrite mode of the Apache. Is this a good idea?
- Any other idea how to fix the Apache "Single Point Of Failure" ?
According with the figure 3-1 ( Link above ) we do can have HTTP Server in a cluster. But I have no idea how to manage it or configure it.
Thanks in advance any help!

You cannot point Outlook Anywhere to your DAG cluster IP address. It must be pointed to the actual IP address of either server.
For no extra cost DNS round robin is the best you will get, but it does have some drawbacks as it may give the IP address of a server you have taken down for maintenance or the server has an issue.
You could look to implement a load balancer but again if you are doing this for high availability then you want more than one load balancer in the cluster - otherwise you've just moved your single point of failure.
Having your existing NAT and just remembering to update it to point to the other server during maintenance may suit your needs for now.
If you can go into more detail about what the high availability your business is looking to achieve and the budget we can suggest the best method to meet those needs for the price point.
Have a great day

Deactivate Portal server node from Web dispatcher, but still keep online

We want to deactivate a Portal server node from the Web dispatcher. We also need to connect directly to the specific node.
We configured the Server Node using Config Tool --> Server_ID####### --> Debug --> Debuggable --> Restricted Load Balancing. The node is not available to the Web dispatcher, However we are unable to explicitly connect to that node. We get the error message in the browser:
503 Service Unavailable
SAP WebAS engine is starting...
If this state does not change within a few minutes,
please contact your system administrator.
Check the recommendations in SAP Notes: 943498, 764417
Message: Dispatcher running but no server connected!
I have also read through the Web dispatcher online Help. They mention creating groups but they all seem to pertain to ABAP groups using SMLG. Our Web dispatcher is used in a strictly J2EE environment.
There must be a Profile setting or some config to restrict specified nodes... Let me know if you have found out?
Thank You,
Jon Sells

Hi PR,
Yes I understand that the Web Dispatchers Job ends at that point. That's why I want to stop the requests at the Web dispatcher by not allowing those nodes to be available.
Here is the situation. We have 3 Windows Servers with 10 Server Nodes spread accros them.
Host A - 2 Server Nodes, Central instance (Message Server) and SQL Server DB.
Host B - 4 Server Nodes.
Host C - 4 Server Nodes.
The Going Live Analysis suggested we move the DB off of the CI. We cannot do that at this time. What we can do is shut down the 2 nodes on Host A. Instead of shutting them down, we would rather remove them from the WD group. that way, our users never connect to the 2 nodes on the CI but Basis can still use them for Administration and those 2 nodes on the CI are never used for production purposes. Those nodes will just be used for monitoring and maintenance or even emergency purposes.
Right now our process to remove the 2 nodes from the Web dispatcher is to connect to the Admin page for Web Dispatcher --> Monitor Server Groups --> Right Click on the Host and select Deactivate. We have to do this whenever the Message Server is retarted. The million dollar question: How can that be set via a startup parameter?
Thanks
Jon Sells
Here is an example of how you can connect to a specific node:

Setting GC frequency in NetWeaver 2004S application server

Hi All,
I am looking to set GC frequence in my NW 2004S J2EE engine. I saw various notes and links on JVM settings but nowhere did I find any reference to tuning the GC frequencey. Could you anyone suggest or help with this?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

SAP recommends the HeapSize to 2 GB per server node, because of the way the Garbage Collection works. Every once in a while, when the tenured area of the memory is exhausted a full garbage collection is triggered. During full garbage collection all processes are frozen and only the garbage collection threads are running. Increasing the heap size increases the time needed to finish the full garbage collection and even though this process will be rarer with more heap, when it happen your server wont process requests for some time. Therefore instead of increasing the heap size SAP recommend adding additional server nodes, which will utilize the memory that you have, but will also cover each other if one node is not available to process requests.
Hope this helps your understanding of the GC frequency.

AS JAVA server nodes

Hi,,
How can I decidethe the numbrer of the server node.
Heap size? CPU thered?

Hi
When you install your Java instance, SAPInst automatically configures the number of server processes based on the hardware resources that are available.
If you need to add more server processes to an existing Java instance, you can do that manually using the J2EE Engine Config Tool
Check the below link to add more server processes

Improve Portal performance with BI-Java by adding additional server node.

Hi SAP Expert
I wonder anyone might have attempted this before,
In an environment with BI-Java and Portal Java stack installed on the same server, is it possible to improve the system performance by adding additional portal server node? or is there any improvement seen by adding the extra server node?
I am after suggestion and experience on how the portal performance can be improve, with consideration of BI-Java sharing Portal resources.
Any comment will be most appreciated.

Hi Jim,
We've this configuration at our site, Portal and BI running together (not federated). Recommendations would be to:
1. Set a sensibly large max heap size on each server node of Portal (at least 2GB if not larger) and implement several nodes at least. For example we have 4 x physical nodes, each running 3 server nodes of 2GB max heap size apiece so a total of 12 nodes.
2. Implement the BI Safety Belt for large results sets (1127156)
3. Implement the latest JVM / JDK you can on your environment. We found much improved performance after implementing JDK SR10 with the J9/2.3 options enabled e.g., -Xjvm:j9vm23
-Xsoftrefthreshold0
4. Patch your BI components on the Portal (BIBASES, BIWEBAPP etc) to the latest available patch level for your Portal SP level
5. Make sure all your RFC connections are load balanced to the backend and tuned for the kind of load you expect on your reports, and the BI is sized appropriately in terms of app servers and dialog work processes, RFC-enabled login groups in SMLG etc.
6. Consult notes 1048691 (especially useful, opions &PROFILING=X&TRACE=X added to reports for example for performance tracing), 937697, 1021921, 948158 for information about problem analysis for this scenario
7. Implement SAP Web Dispatcher for Portal to reduce load on static mime files
8. Tune the Portal application. There's plenty information on SDN related to Portal performance tuning.
I hope this helps!
Cheers,

Too many session in the AS java server node?

I have install a Netweaver JAVA portal system for customer , this is cluster system one CI and 10 DIs, I found there are too many active session in each server node , I konw , the user can login anyone instance through the web dispatcher , but I found nearly 3000 active session in each server node after a work day in average, and there are too many iterative session , sometime one user can have 30-40 session in each server node after a work day .
I think the memmory is critical if there are have too many session , and sometimes, the log off fution of portal can't work ,so I decided to set a time-out parameter of the session (4 hours),but this is active method to delete the session of the user ,no matter the user is working with system .
Who can tell me how to effective control and enhance user's session managment of Netweaver Java server .

Check note 873190 or 376915

Detect server node processing a http request

Is there any way to detect which server node is answering a http request? For debug purposes I would like to add the cluster element to the output of a jsp. Maybe it is also possible to force a jsp being processed by a given node?
Thanks in advance for your answers!
Best regards,
Frank

Hi Violeta,
Thanks for your answer! This has been very helpful indeed.
However, I´m still a bit puzzled. Replacing the saplb cookie forces the load balancer to use the given server, but the JSESSIONID does not change. Looking at the application data I know that I´m talking to a different server, but I still don´t seem to have a way to tell which server ansered - except my expectation that the saplb cookie might have been taken into account by the server.
Isn´t there a more sophisticated way to access this kind of information? Escpecially, getting a list of all available servers would be great, as this would allow to choose the server having a look at.
Best regards,
Frank

Ticket evaluation error on other cluster server node

Hello, All
Could you help me to solve such problem?
I created cluster on one server instance, for example J2E with two server nodes (0 and 1).
The some application working on server node 0 generates sso ticket. When I send this ticket to application on server node 1 the authorization process is not performed. But when I send this ticket to server node 0 all works fine. And and vice versa, i.e. the sso ticket generated on node 1 is right for the application running on node 1 but not for node 0.
In case of different nodes the EvaluationTicketLoginModule throws exception : Own SID not available.
Why does it happen thus? I work within the same J2E server instance.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
In our environment we have installed OBIEE 10.1.3.4 on two windows servers(primary and secondary) and these servers not clustered using Microsoft or any other cluster software .
We are planning to use SAN drive to hold the shared cache, now we are facing a challenge in configuring the SAN to see from both OBIEE servers, is it possible to use the SAN with out installing any cluster between these servers.
I understood from above post that you guys implemented/installed OBIEE on Windows environment with SAN.
Is it possible to have a quick call. Your help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Connecting specific server node from portal

Hello,
I am trying to access specific server node with URL "http://<Server>:<Port Number>/irj/portal;sapj2ee_irj=<Node ID>"
I am able to access portal page through the above URL, but even while entering incorrect Node ID, portal page is accessible which should not happen ideally.
I am trying to configure an alerting mechanism so that I can know which server node is up and whiich one is down when users try accessing portal.
Please provide me steps to access server node through portal and also if there is some specific portal parameter which controls the above mentioned anomaly.
Regards,
Anuradha

Hi Anuradha,
Please use something like:
http://<Server>:<Port Number>/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.portal.navigation.portallauncher.default;sapj2ee_*=<NodeID>.
You can use
java_scriptj<colon>alertOpenparentesisdocument<dot>cookiecloseparentesis
to find out if you connected to the proper node. Note the sapj2ee_* parameter is optional so if the value provided is not correct it will connect you to one of the available nodes. Remove the underscore from java_script.
Replace:
java_script with javascript
<colon> with :
Openparentesis with (
Closeparentesis with )
SCN would not let me post the symbols
Best regards,
Duncan
