Patching Java instances with hotfixes using MOPZ - downgrade?

If hotfixes for a certain part of the J2EE engines are installed and MOPZ is used to get a new support package, it takes only the core patches without the hotfixes.
E. g. if BI_REPLAN SP14 + Hotfix 3 is installed MOPZ will pick BI_REPLAN SP15 Hotfix 0. This leads to a warning in JSMP that I´m "downgrading" an application.
As far as I understood those "hotfixes" they are like (example)
COMPONENT SP14 Hotfix 3 is equal
COMPONENT SP15 Hotfix 2 is equal
COMPONENT SP16 without hotfix
Since the application in the SMP does not enable me to manually pick the .scas with the latest hotfixes and I can´t manually download them since they are not in the necessary JSPM-.xml file what´s the procedure here? Can I safely assume that all applications can be "downgraded" without harming the system?
Why is MOPZ not picking up the latest ones?
Markus

> In your case, I think it is not recommended to downgrade. I think it is the case to find out the next support package available ( after the hot fix ).
Well - if would do like this we would still be on SP12 and not, as recommended, on SP15.
> If you need to download a fix, you still can do this going to SAP Service Marketplace, find the hot fix package and put it in your download basket manually. Then, in order to approve the download, you will need to go through MOPZ ( this time it will show you the current download basket with the fix already there and you will be able to download it ).
Yes - the problem is, I can't integrate that fix into the stack - and it's not always possible to wait until a stack fixes the problem "by default".
> In a last option, you can open an OSS message requesting the file for the hot fix. SAP will give you an URL where you can download it whithout passing through MOPZ.
MOPZ is not the problem, the problem is, that those hotfixes which are available in the normal download area are not taken from MOPZ. I'm not talking about hotfixes as attachment to notes, however, the problem is the same there.
If MOPZ is "the tool to manage" deltas then it should do appropriately and not just "half"

Load balancing Java instances with EP

Hi all,
I am wondering if EP provides load balancing when connecting to backend java systems. For example, when a user connects to the enterprise portal and then, through portal, connects to a java system like BI portal or Biller Direct, are they being load balanced? From what I have read, it sounds like the portal connects to the message server to load balance these backend systems, however I have heard some concerns that a web dispatcher instance may be needed for each backend java system. Is this true or is the load balancing functionality provided by the portal sufficient?
Our users will only be connecting to these systems via enterprise portal. We are planning to install a web dispatcher instance to balance the portal users but I am trying to figure out if more instances are needed to balance the other java systems.
I have read the help.sap.com documentation on webdispatcher, as well as these two notes, but none directly addresses this question. Experts, I would really appreciate your help!
Note 1040325 - HTTP load balancing: Message Server or Web Dispatcher?
Note 649008 - HTTP load balancing using the SAP message server
Thanks,
Michelle

Michael,
If I understand you right then the Enterprise portal you are talking about is your "super/main/consumer" portal and you ahfe other portals and java systems as producers?
If a java installations have one or more Dialog Instances then I would advice you to also install Webdispatchers for those systems too.
But If these java installations only hava a CI then you don't need webdispatcher as the dispatcher in the instance will load balance on the server nodes.
Instead of a webdispatcher you could also use a hardware solution but webdispatcher will suit your needs I guess.
Following ASCII art figure hopefully makes it a litle bit clear:
                                   1. Webdispatcher
                                          |
                      2. Enterprise Portal CI + DI etc etc

Integration of a Java Project with SAP using XI 2.0

Hi,
I want to integrate one project written in Java with SAP Using XI 2.0 . The data from Java Project will be given in the XML file and the data needs to be posted in SAP .
Also PO data from SAp should be given in XML , which Java Software will read filter it and Update its database.
Can anybody practically guide me as to how should I go about implementing it .
Thanks in Advance.
Sanjana

Suryakant & Sanjana :
Step 1: Create web service using Java (EJBs) and consume this web service in SAP XI.
Step 2: PO data from SAP
Step 2.i:
In XI 2.0 you cannot expose RFC as a web service
so what you need to do is create a EJB project to call RFC
using JCO and then expose this EJB project as web service.
Step 2.ii:
Consume the web service created in step 2.i into XI.
Step 2.iii:
In XI expose then expose this as web service.
Step 2.iv:
consume the web service created in step 2.iv using Java Application.

Multiple Java Instances with Workspace Studio 1.1

When I launch my WebLogic server with Workspace Studio 1.1, I now see two instances of java.exe instead of the one that previously was launched from 9.2.1 Workshop.
Does anyone know why, or if this can be re-configured? Several GB's of RAM are being used.
Chris

Are you launching the same version of the server as before? Workshop just calls the domain's start script. Try closing workshop and calling the start script from the command line. How many java processes do you see now?

Error JDBC - Connect java instance with sql server

We are working with SAP Netweaver 7.0 SP 18 and we need to upgrade to SP 23.
The XML generated contains only ABAP Stack but the SUM also load the Java tab.
This part of Java is giving me several problems Connection with SQL Server database 2005. Add image of the last error.
To continue forward I am evaluating the following:
1. How I can validate data Connection jdbc to connect to the database? How valid username and password that you use? Where
Best Regards!

Hi Hidalgo,
The XML generated contains only ABAP Stack but the SUM also load the Java tab.
Please check for the following
1) Existence of j2ee related profile parameters in SAP profiles ( default, instance and start )
2) Existence of j2ee related folders on the SAP server
If you system is only ABAP stack, please remove information identified in option(1) and (2).
Hope this helps.

Is it possible to login into the Java instance without password's input, using only my Windows workstation authorization?

Dear Sirs,
I try to do an authorization to my NW 7.3 Java instance through my Windows domain authorization.
I done:
1) Create connection to LDAP-server and tested it.
2) Add windows domain certificate to TrustedCAs
3) Configure SPnego
Now, I can to login in my NW7.3 Java instance with my windows password, but however I must to input password when I open NW7.3 Java homepage.
Is it possible to login into the Java instance without password's input, using my windows workstation login/password?
What I have to do for that?
I use Windows XP on my workstation and IE 8.0.6 & Chrome 38.0.2125.

MDM with separated ABAP and Java Instance

We installed SAP ERP system with SRM server and Portal as Java instance.
We use Oracle and have 2 oracle schemas/instances: ABAP and Java.
After mounting of MDM server and DBMS configuraiton (to Java instance) we have the following oracle objects:
Oracle Schema A2I_XCAT_DBS
2 oracle users: A2I_XCAT_DBS (owner of the schema) and MDMADMIN
2 tablespaces A2I_A2I_XCAT_DBS.DBF and A2I_A2I_XCAT_DBS_IX.DBF within the main dbs directory E:\oracle\<sid>\102\database
The used tablespace was set to PSAPTEMP
Questions:
1) How can the DBMS configuration will be removed, because the oralce path E:\oracle\<sid>\102\database was wrong
Unfortunately we would like to avoid merge MDM and Portal data in one and the same tablespace PSAPTEMP
2) Where can we find the oracle configuration for MDM with Java Schema, but using their own tablespace?

Are you basically trying to put a new User Interface (UI) on top of MDM because you do not want to use the standard MDM UI? If so, then yes you could write a custom WebDynpro and use the MDM API. We evaluated WebDynpro as an option, but instead we built a new Adobe Flex based UI that sits on top of the MDM Catalog and it totally awesome! There is a sample on our website (www.simplifying-it.net), but we are making some changes to the look/feel... however, the sample demo on the website should give you an idea.
If you have any questions, please let me know.
Thanks,

Multiple Server nodes in Java Instance

Hello Experts,
We have NW 700 SP17 Java system running with 5 server nodes. Would appreciate, if you clarify following doubts:
1. How can we check which user has landed up into which server node.
2. Is there any possibility of check logs (like defaulttrace,etc) for all the server nodes from a single location (like NWA).
3. How can we check the load on each of the server node.
4. Where can we find documentation on configuring and operating Java instance with multiple server nodes.
Thanks
Davinder

1. How can we check which user has landed up into which server node.
Ask the user to execute this: javascript:document.cookie
while they are in the Java pages.
2. Is there any possibility of check logs (like defaulttrace,etc) for all the server nodes from a single location (like NWA).
- Yes, SAP LogViewer should give you that options
3. How can we check the load on each of the server node -
- Consider configuring Solution Manager Diagnostics, is it very nice tool for Java Load Monitoring
4. Where can we find documentation on configuring and operating Java instance with multiple server nodes
- If you asking about how many nodes requires on a java instance, you might want to use the SAP Quick Sizer to size your systems, then it will give you total Memory it requirsts then you need to divide that by 2.5 GB (64 bit OS) or for 32 bits they recommend you not to exceed your heap size beyond 1 GB.
Added Nodes is very simple via Configtool, then you might have to setup your server with same settings as your previous nodes.

Can i start only Java Instance

HI,
I installed both JAVA+ABAP stack in Nw2004s.can i start only Java STACK(java instance) with out starting the ABAP instance from SAP MMC

Hi Surya,
Under normal circumstances the persistence store for an ABAP+JAVA stack is the ABAP system, therefore, your system may not work without the ABAP stack. If you need just the java stack, I would recommend that you install a JAVA only system.

Accessing Java Object with out any application servers

Hi,
I would be much thankful if any one guide/suggest me how to
access an java object with out using any application servers.I am
having an java object which holds dummy data and an mxml file which
contains some text fields. My plan was to access the java object
and put the dummy data in the text fields. I am using RemoteObject
for this. I am not able to proceed further. Please help me.
Thanks in advance

You can check The Merapi Project it's still in the
development phase but it'll allow to an AIR app invoke a java class
and run it as it were inside your app. But that's something you
can't take into production yet, why don't u wanna use a server
backend?

How can I correlate an Java instance number with a server id?

I have 6 Web App Server running ABAP and the JAVA stacks. I can log into the Central Instance server and run /usr/sap/<SID>DVEBMSG00/j2ee/configtool/configtool.sh and bring up the GUI interface to "see" all the instances and their variables. I don't see an easy way to trace back the Java INSTANCE to the physical server's hostname.
Is there a central repository to correlate a Web App Server Java instance number to the actual hostid/hostname of the target server? I realize I can log into each Web App Server and look at the /usr/sap/<SID>D00/j2ee/cluster/instance.properties and find the Instance number, but I was wondering if this information was held in the SAP Central instance or SAP Database somewhere.

Hi Timothy,
The instance ID used for the JAVA cluster is generated at installation time, and -amongst other things- takes into account the time it was generated. We installed two instances in parallel (on different hosts) and ended up with almost the same instance ID.
Because this can be very confusing, we asked SAP if this was changable - in theory it is only an ID which could be changed as long as it is updated on all places the identifier is stored - but SAP indicated that that is not possible, nor supported. We ended up with a diagram of the system architecture with all the identifiers on our desk.
Note that in the config tool - all instances are displayed with their system instance number. If you were to install a new system it might be usefull to install all instances with different instance numbers so you and distinguish more easily between them.
Hope this helps,
Cheers,
Walter

How to change host name entry for java instance using config tool

Hi Gurus,
We are trying to invoke DR for dual stack SAP PI system.Strategy followed is BR Tool backup and restore method.
We are able bring up ABAP stack and it is still pointing to production Java stack.
Could any one please guide us with step by step procedure to change entries and bringing up java stack for DR system.
While bringing up java instance we are facing below issues
From starting framework it goes back to collecting data stack.
Thanks,
Avadhesh Sharma
+91-8095226536

Hi Avadhesh,
For dual stack systems backup/restore method is not recommended procedure for DR.
As it will have hostnames from Production.
Good approach will be to have export of Production Java stack and import the same into DR OR
Have the DR system installed using virtual hostnames which are similar to Production hostname.
When DR needs to be operational enable these virtual hostnames.
Hope this helps.

How to create multiple component instances at runtime using java

Hi,
I need to create component instances at runtime using java.I found ComponentSet.add method.But I am not finding a way to get handle of ComponentSet.
I see methods with params of IRuntimeNode.But how to get ComponentSet from IRuntimeNode.
If anybody knows or have sampel code then please share with me.
thanks,
ashok

Ashok --
This is a common challenge for those using Configurator Extensions with multiple instantiation for the first time. The problem is that the CIO's representation of the structure for multiply-instantiable Components differs slightly from what both Configurator Developer users and Configurator Runtime users see in those respective applications. Multiply-instantiable Components are not direct children of the Model in which they're defined. Internally, there is an entity that sits between the parent Model and the instantiable Components; that intermediate entity is the ComponentSet object you've found in the CIO documentation.
If the name of your multiply-instantiable Component is "My Component", then its ComponentSet may be accessed simply by calling getChildByName("My Component") on its parent Model; a List of the instantiated Components may be accessed with the ComponentSet's getChildComponentNodes() method, and instances may be added and deleted using its add() and delete() methods.
Hope this helps.

Is there a way to access total memory used by java instance?

is there a way to access total memory used by java instance?
i'm familiar with
runtime.getTotalMemory() and runtime.getFreeMemory();
and i understrnad that it is a measure of the amount of memory available for the heap used to allocate objects and the amount of memory not being used by the object heap --
but is there a way to (from java get the value that you get when you go to the windows taskmanager and look at javavm.exe
