Planning App Web Server changed.

Hello gurús!
I´m in a big issue. In my org, we have 3 physical servers with 3 servers installed: Essbase, Shared Services and Planning. The problem is that we cloned that servers to virtual machines to duplicate these servers. We want to reconfigure that virtualized servers to work like that physical servers. Essbase and Shared Services was reconfigured succefully, but planning had problems with Web Logic licence. For that, we decided to change app web server from web logic to apache tomcat 5. After that, we reconfigure planning using the same instance, data sources and application that were in the source physical server. But it doesn´t work, because planning does not connect with apllications, and Workspace doesn´t not work properly. It only listen at port 45000 and did not at 19000 (like in physical server). Also, workspace cannot connect with planning (if we want to create a planning application it throws these errors: "Invalid or not find module configuration", "Required application module HyperionPlanning.planning is not configured. Please contact your administrator.", "Comunication Error".
Also, when I start workspace from Start->Programs->Hyperion.... In server console it throws a that Warning: "Please initialize the log4j System Properly". This maybe the reason because planning and workspace doesnt write any logs?
Thanks for your time floks.
Best regards,
Fabián

What did you do to clone, use a P2V vm conversion? What about hostnames and dns names ? Personally I don't believe trying to clone is a good idea.

MFA Server - User portal and mobile app web server should be installed where?

Hi. We are in the process of testing the Multi-Factor Auth server and are currently using it for two-factor authentication to RDS for a couple of users. At the moment we are only using the phone call/text options but I'd like to get the mobile app portion
working to test. Also still need to implement the user self-service portal for testing.
Currently I have a vm that was dedicated to MFA where the Multi-Factor Authentication Server software was installed. Now though I'm a bit confused as to if its safe to install the user portal and mobile app web service portion on this same machine
or if they should go on a different server(s)? Currently the box is internal but I'm guessing if it has also act as the web server we would stick it behind the TMG for external inbound access. Is external access to the primary MFA server ok?
What's the best practice for separation of the MFA roles; or is there none and its fine to just put it altogether?
Thanks.

Hello Col. Forbin,
Thanks for posting here!
You have a dedicated MFA server and if you install User Portal on the same server as the MFA Server, it uses RPC to communicate with the MultiFactorAuth service locally.
If the User Portal is installed on a different server, it must connect via the Web Service SDK. You can use either a username/password of a service account that is a member of the PhoneFactor
Admins security group, or you can configure client certificates. If using the username/password, you can encrypt the appSettings section of the web.config file if desired.
Under Inetpub\wwwroot\MultiFactorAuth when you edit the web.config file you need to make sure these values are set.
USE_WEB_SERVICE_SDK:
true
WEB_SERVICE_SDK_AUTHENTICATION_USERNAME: domain\user
WEB_SERVICE_SDK_AUTHENTICATION_PASSWORD:
password

Need to configure email alerts for app/web server shutdown

Hi,
I need to configure email alert notification, so that whenever application server or webserver is shutdown/restarted, an email is sent to the group/userid.
I am aware that in Peoplesoft, there is no parameter or functionality which sends an email notification whenever application server & web server restart & shutdown. This is where I need help.
Did anyone setup the email alert notification in any of your environments? If so, please let me know how did you do the setup?
Thanks,
Sakky

Please find the below sample batch program.
this helps to start the appserver automatically and if the status fails this will send email automatically.
This is the another way of findting the status of the app server.
In the below program, by finding the "Done" value on the output screen we can decide if the server is running or not.
Hope you understand this, Kindly let me know if you need further information.
===============================
@echo off
REM Set a temporary variable
SET CONNECT
REM Check the status of the Application server
psadmin -c sstatus -d PSEPM | FIND "Done" > NUL
REM If the server is down boot the server
ERRORLEVEL 1 SET CONNECT= psadmin -c boot -d PSEPM
%CONNECT%
REM Check the server again for status
psadmin -c sstatus -d PSEPM | FIND "Done" > NUL
IF ERRORLEVEL 1 goto sendmail
goto end
REM Sending mail to Administrator
:sendmail
REM setting the path for email command
SET CONNECT= cd D:\PT849\bin\client\winx86
%CONNECT%
REM Below command will send mail to the Administrator
SET CONNECT= psemail -server < server ip> -from [email protected] -to [email protected] -subject "Server Down" -body "Hi, Server is down at this time, unable to boot."
%CONNECT%

Remote Interface problem using Sun ONE App & web server

HI,
1) I am using an S'less SB. I have local & remote interfaces. I am using the sun one appserver7 & the sun ones's htttp server. By default it doesnt pick up the remote interfaces is it ? How do i make my remote interfaces work ? what are the changes required in config/xml ?
2) However i changed my client code (i.e my action class which is called by the struts action servlet ) to access the localhome rather than the remote home, but then i get java.lang.classcastexception.
pls help !
sanjay

Hi parsuram,
Thanks for the tip. After looking at the sample source code, I did finally figure out the solution - so I'll post it in case anyone else happens to be working with websphere studio has the same issue deploying on sun one.
To access local interface ejb, you must have the following
1. ejb-local-ref tag in the ejb-jar.xml like so underneath the <session> or <entity> tag of the bean which you plan to access the local ejb with.
<ejb-local-ref>
<ejb-ref-name>TestL</ejb-ref-name>
<ejb-ref-type>Session</ejb-ref-type>
<local-home>memory.simple.TestLLocalHome</local-home>
<local>memory.tool.simple.TestLLocal</local>
<ejb-link>TestL</ejb-link>
</ejb-local-ref>
2. similar ejb-ref tag in sun-ejb-jar.xml
<ejb-ref>
<ejb-ref-name>TestL</ejb-ref-name>
<jndi-name>localejbs/module_memory.betaEJB/TestL68640023372300293</jndi-name>
</ejb-ref>
note: sun generates the <jndi-name> and overwrites whatever you put in that tag no matter what you put in there.
3. here is the code to access
Context initial = new InitialContext();
TestLLocalHome tlHome=(TestLLocalHome) Initial.lookup
("TestL");
//the string must match <ejb-ref-name> underneath <ejb-local-ref>
4. note that the jndi name for the local interface bean becomes irrelevant. only the <ejb-ref-name> in the ejb-jar and sun-ejb-jar matter. furthermore, both <ejb-ref-name> must be the same or you won't be able to deploy.
5. This is completely my fault for not checking the "proper" way to access local interfaces. in websphere, they let you get away without the ejb-ref tags and just use the string "local:/TestL"!

Virtual Directory for app web server

I have a web application that runs over Windows 2000 advanced server, does anybody know how can i change the address, i.e.: http://localhost:8080/servlet/eureka to http://localhost or http://something ?
I have j2re 1.3 and java plug-in .
Thanks

in order to run http://localhost with out specifying port number, you need to set your server port to 80 (which is an official http port) in the configuraton file. I don't know what kind of server you are using. If you use Tomcat, you need to modify your server.xml file from 8080 to 80.

App-V Server : Changing Package Name through Powershell.

Hi,
Is it possible to change the package name through powershell ?
Here is the sequence i tried which didn't work...
$package=Get-AppvServerPackage -PackageID ""
$package.name="<new name>"
Set-AppvServerPackage -AppvServerPackage $package
And also the version set to all the packages is set to 0.0.0.1 , Is there any other place where they save the version of software or they don't deal with software version ?
Any help on this would be great...
Thanks,
Sumit.

I doubt that you can modify the package name 'afterwards'. If the package name really is a concern (users usually don't see that), it should be modified using the Sequencer or Application Virtualization Explorer.

Migrating Planning from one server to another

We are in 11.1.1.3. I had the planning repository copied from one server (server1) to another (server2). also had the shared services and the EAS repository copied from server 1 to server 2. When I open Planning in Server 2, I see the name of the planning app in Server 1 and the data source connection also shows connection to server 1. How can I fix this to point to server 2? Thanks.

You just cannot change the name of application like that. If you need to change the name of application, you needed to do this before migration.
Lets say your source app is S and target is T. Application owners for S and T HAVE to be same (use external user if possible)
1. Create application T
2. Copy relation database from S to T
3. Copy Essbase database from S to T
4. log on to T and make sure its pointing to correct shared services instance
This will ensure the application has been migrated excluding business rules and security. This was the old way to do this. In v11, you should be using LCM. It might be little quirky if you have duplicates names (such as task list, web forms) but it does work. We have used LCM to migrate application successfully and its very easy to use.

Incorrect web server is listed and unable to create EPMA Planning App

I was trying to create a first EPMA Planning app but unable to continue as it lists incorrect web server.
Little background on the environment: WinTel 2008 environment, 11.1.2 Suite.
FS, Essbase, Workspace on box 1
Planning on box 2
HFM on box 3
FDM on box 4
RA, FR on box 5
Oracle Enterprise on Box 6
Originally planning was installed on box 5 and switched to box 2. Currently web server list box 5 instead of updated box (2).
Are there any settings that I can modify to list proper server?
Thanks in advance!

How do I use Sun Web Server 7.0u1 reverse proxy to change public URLs?

Some of our installations use the Sun Web Server 7.0 (update 1, usually)
for hosting some of the public resource and reverse-proxying other parts
of the URI namespace from other backend servers (content, application
and other types of servers).
So far every type of backend server served a unique part of the namespace
and there was no collision of names, and the backend resources were
published in a one-to-one manner. That is, a backend resource like, say,
http://appserver:8080/content/page.html would be published in the internet
as http://www.publicsite.com/content/page.html
I was recently asked to research whether we can rename some parts of
the public URI namespace, to publish some or all resources as, say,
http://www.publicsite.com/data/page.html while using the same backend
resources.
Another quest, possibly related in solution, was to make a tidy url for the
first page the user opens of the site. That is, in the current solution when
a visitor types the url "www.publicsite.com" in his or her browser, our web
server returns an HTTP-302 redirect to the actual first page URL, so the
browser sends a second request (and changes the URL in its location bar).
One customer said that it is not "tidy". They don't want the URL to change
right upon first rendering the page. They want the root page to be rendered
instantly i the first HTTP request.
So far I found that I can't solve these problems. I believe these problems
share a solution because it relies on ability to control the actual URI strings
requested by Sun Web Server from backend servers.
Some details follow, now:
It seems that the reverse proxy (Service fn="service-passthrough") takes
only the $uri value which was originally requested by the browser. I didn't
yet manage to override this value while processing a request, not even if
I "restart" a request. Turning the error log up to "finest" I see that even
when making the "service-passthrough" operation, the Sun Web Server
still remembers that the request was for "/test" (in my test case below);
it does indeed ask the backend server for an URI "/test" and that fails.
[04/Mar/2009:21:45:34] finest (25095) www.publicsite.com: for host xx.xx.xx.83
trying to GET /content/MainPage.html while trying to GET /test, func_exec reports:
fn="service-passthrough" rewrite-host="true" rewrite-location="true"
servers="http://10.16.2.127:8080" Directive="Service" DaemonPool="2b1348"
returned 0 (REQ_PROCEED)My obj.conf file currently has simple clauses like this:
# this causes /content/* to be taken from another (backend) server
NameTrans fn="assign-name" from="/content" name="content-test" nostat="/content"
# this causes requests to site root to be HTTP-redirected to a certain page URI
<If $uri =~ '^/$'>
    NameTrans fn="redirect"
        url="http://www.publicsite.com/content/MainPage.html"
</If>
<Object name="content-test">
### This maps http://public/content/* to http://10.16.2.127:8080/content/*
### Somehow the desired solution should instead map http://public/data/* to http://10.16.2.127:8080/content/*
    Service fn="service-passthrough" rewrite-host="true" rewrite-location="true" servers="http://10.16.2.127:8080"
    Service fn="set-variable" set-srvhdrs="host=www.publicsite.com:80"
</Object>
I have also tried "restart"ing the request like this:
    NameTrans fn="restart" uri="/data"or desperately trying to set the new request uri like this:
    Service fn="set-variable" uri="/magnoliaPublic/Main.html"Thanks for any ideas (including a statement whether this can be done at all
in some version of Sun Web Server 7.0 or its opensourced siblings) ;)
//Jim

Some of our installations use the Sun Web Server 7.0 (update 1, usually)please plan on installing the latest service pack - 7.0 Update 4. these updates addresses potentially critical bug fixes.
I was recently asked to research whether we can rename some parts of
the public URI namespace, to publish some or all resources as, say,
http://www.publicsite.com/data/page.html while using the same backend
resources.> now, if all the resources are under say /data, then how will you know which pages need to be sent to which back end resources. i guess, you probably meant to check for /data/page.html should go to <back-end>/content/page.html
yes, you could do something like
- edit your corresponding obj.conf (<hostname>-obj.conf or obj.conf depending on your configuration)
<Object name=¨default¨>
<If $uri = ¨/page/¨>
#move this nametrans SAF (for map directive - which is for reverse proxy within <if> clause)
NameTrans.. fn=map
</If
</Object>
and you could do https-<hostname>/bin/reconfig (dynamic reconfiguration) to check out if this is what you wanted. also, you might want to move config/server.xml <log-level> to finest and do your configuration . this way, you would get enough information on what is going on within your server logs.
finally,when you are satisfied, you might have to run the following command to make your manual change into admin config repository.
<install-root>/bin/wadm pull-config user=admin config=<hostname> <hostname>
<install-root>/bin/wadm deploy-config --user=admin <hostname>
you might want to check out this for more info on how you could use <if> else condition to handle your requirement.
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-6599/gdaer?a=view
finally, you might want to refer to this doc - which explains on ws7 request processing overview. this should provide you with some pointers as to what these different directives mean
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-6599/gbysz?a=view
>
One customer said that it is not "tidy". They don't want the URL to change
right upon first rendering the page. They want the root page to be rendered
instantly i the first HTTP request.
please check out the rewrite / restart SAF. this should help you.
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-6599/gdada?a=view
pl. understand that - like with more web servers - ordering of directives is very important within obj.conf. so, you might want to make sure that you verify the obj.conf directive ordering is what you want it to do..
It seems that the reverse proxy (Service fn="service-passthrough") takes
only the $uri value which was originally requested by the browser. I didn't
yet manage to override this value while processing a request, not even if
I "restart" a request. Turning the error log up to "finest" I see that even
when making the "service-passthrough" operation, the Sun Web Server
still remembers that the request was for "/test" (in my test case below);
it does indeed ask the backend server for an URI "/test" and that fails.
now, you are in the totally wrong direction. web server 7 includes a highly integrated reverse proxy solution compared to 6.1. unlike 6.1, you don´t have to download a separate plugin . however, you will need to manually migrate your 6.1 based reverse proxy settings into 7.0. please check out this blog link on how to set up a reverse proxy
http://blogs.sun.com/amit/entry/setting_up_a_reverse_proxy
feel free to post to us if you need any futher help
you are probably better off - starting fresh
- install ws7u4
- use gui or CLI to create a reverse proxy and map one on one - say content
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-6601/create-reverse-proxy-1?a=view
if you don´t plan on using ws7 integrated web container (ability to process jsp/servlet), then you could disable java support as well. this should reduce your server memory footprint
<install-root>/bin/wadm disable-java user=admin config=<hostname>
<install-root>/bin/wadm create-reverse-proxy user=admin uri-prefix=/content server=<http://your back end server/ config=<hostname> --vs=<hostname>
<install-root>/bin/wadm deploy-config --user=admin <hostname>
now, you can check out the regular express processing and <if> syntax from our docs and try it out within <https-<hostname>/config/<hostname>-obj.conf> file and restart the server. pl. note that once you disable java, ws7 admin server creates <vs>-obj.conf and you need to edit this file and not default obj.conf for your changes to be read by server.
>
I have also tried "restart"ing the request like this:
NameTrans fn="restart" uri="/data"
ordering is very important here... you need to do this some thing like
<Object name=default>
<If not $restarted>
NameTrans fn=restart uri from=/¨ uri=/foo.
</If>

Web Server Filter Based SSO to Non-SAP Apps

Hi,
I am following SAP Note 442401 for configuring the Non-SAP App for Web Server Filter based SSO using SAP Logon Ticket. Also, I have downloaded the 5_0_2_8.zip file.
The Readme doc of this zip file says:
"<b>Changes in Web server filter plugins
The Web server filter plug ins and the Ticket Toolkit now were separated.
See subdirectories for further information:
"C" the Ticket Toolkit
"filter" the Web server filter plug ins
This is the last released version (5.0.2.8) on SAPSERV.
Pleaser refer for newer versions to SAP Service Marketplace (http://service.sap.com/patches)
Technology Components-> SAP SSOEXT -> SAP SSOEXT</b>"
Zip file has two folders named "C" and "filter".
"C" folder has cpp code to varify the ticket.
"Filter" folder has DLLs for the different web servers.
So far so good . Now, what I want to know is that is placing the DLL from the Filter folder onto the respective web server and doing some configs, as per the PDF provided with ZIP file, enough?
Or do I need to do anything else, like writing any class to read and validate the Ticket?
Thanks,
Vivek

Sun Web server 6.1 SP9 Reverse proxy - Changing Web Server Context

I am trying to configure a Reverse Proxy such that it can change the context of the requested URL.
My SOWS reverse proxy plug-in is running on server server1.sample.com and the destination server is running on server2.sample.com. The use case, the incoming URL is [|http://server1.sample.com/dummy1/]...... and I need to map this to {color:#0000ff}http://server2.sample.com/*dummy2*/.....;{color} It looks like the reverse proxy only maps to a server level but disregards the context. The reason I say that, in the server 2 logs I see - .... trying to GET /dummy1....; I needed the call to look for dummy2 context. Can this be done?

well, web server uri processing does not understand web application level context (in terms of java web applications). however, if you would like to map all uri's ending with /dummy1 to go to /dummy2, then you can easily do this with web server 7 regular express processing
http://blogs.sun.com/elving/entry/mass_virtual_hosting_in_7
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-6599/gdaer?a=view
besides web server 7 includes a very tightly integrated reverse proxy unlike 6.1 where you need reverse proxy as a separate plugin. so, you might want to check out if ws7 can serve your needs

Javascript development on Apex - How to show changes on the Javascript on Apex without restarting the web server?

Hi,
I am working on a Javascript for Apex. The changes are not reflected and I was told to restart the app server. Is there a better way for Apex to process the changed Javascript? Thanks.

Hi,
I assume you store JavaScript to web server folder and browser caches your file.
Use query string end of file name like
/my.js?v=0.0.1
And when you change file, change query string value
Templates JavaScript help says:
File reference using a query string in the URL referencing the application version, such that when the application is upgraded
(and the version is incremented), the browser will be instructed to always load the new file and ignore any previously cached files.

Web app context file in java web server?

I'm being forced to move an application from Tomcat 5.5 to Web Server 6.1. I'm used to putting my app's context information into a context xml file that in Tomcat 5.5 is deployedin in $tomcat_home/conf/Catalina/localhost/. I define my jdbc connection pool there, as well as environment entries for the application. That way I can use the same war file, but run the application with different configuration settings.
It doesn't seem like Web Server 6.1 supports that, or am I missing something in the documentation. I thought the notion of the context file was generic to the servlet container spec even in the 2.3 servlet spec....but maybe that's specific to Tomcat. So now how can I pass environment information to the application?

The SJS webserver does not support context.xml, you are correct.
However, most of the things done in context.xml can be done through other ways.
