New Application server on existing Non-Unicode CI

Hello all,
We upgraded our BW 3.5 system to BW 7 ehp 1 late last year; due to the need for increased capacity we want to add an application server. The BW 7 system is Non-Unicode (NUC), and in SAPINST GUI I do not see any options for a NUC installation. I found a Note stating this fact, "all new installations will be Unicode by default".
So my question is, what are my options here? A UC conversion project is not an option at this time. We have a couple of projects that require no BW down time for the next 2 months. However, at the completion of those two projects is when the extra capacity is needed; so I don't have a window to conduct the conversion.
Thanks in advance,
Jose

> So my question is, what are my options here? A UC conversion project is not an option at this time.
Since the start of BW 7.0 all installations are Unicode-only and all upgrades have to do a Unicode conversion. The reason is the fact, that BW 7.0 makes heavy use of Java which is not supported with non-Unicode backend systems:
Note 975768 - Deprecation of Java features with non-Unicode Backend
Note 838402 - Problems within non-Unicode system landscapes
So before installing new unsupported system landscapes I can just highly recommend (not to say 'urge' you) to convert your current BW system to Unicode. With a good preparation this can be done on a weekend - or less.

Oracle 10g - Creating a new Application Server using standalone OC4J 10g

I have some issues in creating a new app. server using standalone oc4j 10g 10.1.3 instance. After I created the app. server instance, I tested the connection and it says connection refused. I used the userid as oc4jadmin and the password as welcome. I am getting a message connection refused. For connection, I used the default hostname "localhost" and I didn't mention anything in the URL path.

Thanks Steve..
Here is what I am trying to do.. I want to create a new app server instance (i.e.) stand alone oc4j server, where I can deploy my web service and run a test.
Oracle JDeveloper 10g:
Under Connection Navigator, Application Server --
1) Right click to 'Create New Application Server Connection'
2) Connection type as 'Standalone OC4J 10 g 10.1.3',
3) Username ==> oc4jadmin, Password ==>welcome, checked the Deploy password.
4) Hostname: localhost RMI Port: 23791
URL path: <<blank>>
5) Test Connection ==> getting a error message...
Error while getting remote MBeanServer for url: ormi://localhost:23791/default:
Error reading application-client descriptor: Error communicating with server: Connection refused: connect; nested exception is:
javax.naming.CommunicationException: Connection refused: connect [Root exception is java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect]
Any input you can provide would be of great help.

CCMS configuration for historical data of a new application server

Out CI & app servers are configured in CCMS before I joined the team. Around months back a new application server added but it seems for that CCMS is not capturing histrorical data.
In ST6N, I get all app servers name including the new one. When I click on the new app server and click on Snapshot then detailed information for CPU,memory etc are displayed but when I click on resources under "Previous hours" or "History" to get CPU,memory etc details then an error pop-up is displayed i.e. "No Performance MTEs availbale for category CPU" or "No Performance MTEs availbale for category MEM" [availbale <- SAP typo].
How to make sure that we can get previous hours and as well historical cpu,memory use informations ?

Hi, the data you are trying to see is collected by saposcol.
1) Log on to the specific application server and verify that everything is working correctly with saposcol:
ST06->Operating System Collector->Status
ST06->Operating System Collector->Available days
ST06->Operating System Collector->Log file.
2) Installing an additional App server should have configured the statistical data setup automatically:
ST03N - check if the the app server is listed.
ST03N->Collector->Performance Monitor collector->Log
3) Check transaction RZ03 that there are no conflics in the Operation Mode.
4) Run the program RSCOLL00 manually on that app server.
This should give you a starting point .....

Trouble creating new application server connection

Hi. I am trying to create a new application server connection in jdev 10.1.3.1.0. I am taking all of the default settings in the wizard, and I am specifiying user name, password and checking deploy password. When I click test connection on the last screen of the wizard I get:
Error while getting remote MBeanServer for url: ormi://localhost:23791/default:
Error reading application-client descriptor: Error communicating with server: Connection refused: connect; nested exception is:
javax.naming.CommunicationException: Connection refused: connect [Root exception is java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect]
Does anybody know how to correct this?
Thank you.

Hello Anil,
The error that you are getting indicates that the user that you are using to install the dialog server does not have enough rights to connect to the SAPMNT share of the central instance.
Please do the following:
1.) Make sure that you are using a domain admin ID or a local admin ID that is on both systems with the same password.
2.) Verify that SAPMNT is shared on the central instance by using the "net share" command from a Windows command prompt.
3.) Make sure that the domain admin or local admin group is added to the file level permissions and share level permissions of SAPMNT with full rights.
Also the general install guides will also have instructions on how to install a dialog instance as well.
Hope this helps you,
Thomas Wagner

Install additional application server for existing CE7.11 system

Hello Gurus,
We have an existing CE 7.11 system installed. After installation, we have updated the SPS level to 04 recently. The CE 7.11 system is already part of a NWDI track configuration since many months and developers are already using since then.
Now, we need to install an additional application server (dialog instance) for the same system.
I want to know: Do I need to carry out any further post-installation steps after installation of the new app server?
Does it matter that the system is already at a certain SPS level including an updated kernel? Will there be any issues at all?
Basically, what else should I do after the installation of the app server is completed?
Thanks and Regards,
Shitij

Please, need a step by step instruction.
quick reply is suitable rewareded with points .
Regards
Vijay

Hi,
I don't know fi you want to install the dialog instance on the same or on a different server. First, please refer to installation guide
in session "dialog instance installation" for step by step installation.
Note that if you want to install this dialog instance on an other server some directories in central system should be share such as: profile,global and
exe directory.

New Application Server

I have just built my first solaris 9 application server, my only problem is, that when i bring in up onto the network, my main sun box with my oracle 9i databases starts to have issues. Any connections to the database's are either very slow or they timeout. I have checked ip address and hostname and domain name.

Hi Bjorn,
You can install the second application server and you can reuse the existing db server.
But attention once with installation of second application server the first one it will not work properly anymore.
You will have to check two tables tblServerInfo and tblAppsetInfo.
These two tables can determine what application server is used.
So after the installation of second server check these tables and make sure your appset is using the right application server.
Normally I will have all servers with suffix 1 into tblappsetinfor and into tblserverinfo I'm keeping just the records with suffix 1 and I will delete the other records.
After that I will check if these records from tblserverinfo are right or I'm doing the appropiate changes.

New AD Server with existed IP address

Hi,
Our existed AD server is win 2003, and we are going to have a new Win 2012 AD Server.
Since the win 2003 AD server is also the dns server in our domain, all our clients' dns setting is point to that win 2003 AD.
I'm thinking let the new Win 2012 AD Server to have the old IP address and also work as dns server, the old win 2003 AD server to a new IP address.
Well that cause side effects?
Thanks for help.
Jason

Also, here's a way to keep the old name, too.

Commissioning a new CAS server in existing Exchange 2013 org

I have a question about why my Outlook client would connect to a newly Exchange 2013 CAS server although not a lot of configuration has been done on it? Also, the existing CAS servers are configured with a third party load balancer and the new server was
not added to the existing array configuration?
I do understand the connectivity and the integration between the CAS and the MAILBOX servers and I would like to know if there is a maintenance mode of the CAs server that has just been deployed into an existing org and configure all the relevant info before
allowing connections to it? Thanks.
Chris

Hi,
Could you tell us your DNS settings about:
HLB
Autodisover
Outlook Anywhere internal name.

Best way to spec a new Linux server from existing Windows 2003 server?

We are looking to upgrade our servers to 11.1.2 and I am looking for some documentation/suggestions on the best way to spec the new box on a Linux platform.
I do have the current documentation from ORACLE with regard to "Estimating Disk and Memory Requirements" but am looking for some processor suggestions as well..
Any thoughts or ideas would be welcomed.
Especially helpful would be anyone who is currently running in a Linux environment any pitfalls or issues you've been having with hardware or software.
Thanks in advance.
Adam,

I don't think it is possible to recommend you any hardware setup without knowing your environment, budget and expertise.
If you plan to install Enterprise Linux, like Oracle Linux, you should look into getting server hardware and not a desktop system. You may also want think about using Oracle VM virtualization products.
Are you looking for rackmount or blade systems? it might be possible to limit your hardware decision between HP, Dell and IBM. I would personally prefer HP, but that's a matter of experience.
You should probably find out your OS requirements. E-business products and installation instructions are usually designed for the OS version that existed at that time. If you install a newer version of the OS you may run into configuration or backward compatibility issues that may require to install additional software. You should check your OS requirements first before purchasing any hardware. The newest hardware may not support older versions of the OS.
The HP support side shows a Linux certification matrix at: http://h18000.www1.hp.com/products/servers/linux/hplinuxcert.html which might be helpful should you decide to get HP equipment.
You might also want to check your current Oracle licensing if you upgrade to a faster or more CPU's.
