Portal Cluster for Production

Hello,
We are planning our Production Portal 6.0 system to service approx 2000 users. In addition to using a separate Central Instance and DB server, I'm assuming that we should plan several instances to be used as J2EE Cluster instances.
I'm a bit unclear, can the Cluster instances be Java dialog instances tied back in to the CI, or are they separate WAS servers?
Also any recommendations as far as how many server processes to configure per instance? We are using AIX LPAR's and can add easily memory and CPU's to an instance.
Thanks,
Alan

Hi Alan Nicholos,
If you are going for SPOF of WAS then you go with the Standalone Central service Instance which should be in Cluster and then you can have 'n' nos of Dialog Instances seperately. You can also keep DB Instance on the cluster to achieve 100% SPOF.
Regards,
Birla.

Its simple PORTAL application . After deploying this application we can add portlets as a childs to this application .
Now this is simple PORTAL application with CSS file.
Give me some idea about
How to create PORTLET application with CSS files . Where to include this CSS file in a PORTLET application??????
Normally we are creating first PORTAL application and adding CSS files to
Portlet Content-->Themes-->html--> abc.css .
--> Head.jsp we are giving the css file path in this JSP page as
<link href='<wps:urlFindInTheme file="abc.css"/>' rel="styleSheet" type="text/css">
After this I am adding my PORTLET application to this PORTAL .
Then its working fine. But I want to know how to add CSS files to PORTLET application???????
Please help me :-(

Any info on using Veritas for offline Portal Cluster backup

Anyone have detailed info on how to correctly use VERITAS to backup a PORTAL CLUSTER with ORACLE FAILSAFE on WIN32?
Oh.. well.. INcorrectly ways will suffice as well.

Jerry,
I have had some exposure to Sun Fire servers running Oracle. The disk was made highly available using the Veritas database cluster software. Both servers share the database files stored on a storage array network. Also Volume Replicator is available via Veritas/Symantec.
You can check the other compatible HA software on;
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/5d70a790-0201-0010-97a0-fdcb2ab0108e

How can we verify if all instances in the Portal Cluster are available ?

We have to write manual scripts to check if all instances in Portal Cluster environment are available and take some proactive steps.
Can somebody suggest me the best way to do it ?

There are Monitoring Products to do that so why do you want to write something yourself.
Some of the products I can think of are:
1) SAP Solution Manager Diagnostics - It comes with a tool for monitoring called Wily Introscope which I guess has this capability
2)Other one is BMC Software - Check out at
http://www.bmc.com/products/proddocview/0,2832,19052_19429_20213327_9841,00.html
If you still want to do it manually then you will have to monitor the server processes through some script to monitor.

SAP Installation in Cluster for ECC Ehp4 SR1 in one cluster

Dear Experts,
Platform is Windows 2008, SQl Server 2008, ECC Ehp4 SR1
In our project, we are implementing ECC 6.0 Ehp4 SR1. Prior to this release, we use to have ABAP & JAVA (dual) stack in single installation. But going through installation guides and posts in SDN understood that now ABAP and JAVA has to be installed separately with different SID.
We have installed development system with separate SID for ABAP stack and java stack in the same box. Similarly, we did it for quality system also.
Now, we need to install the production system which will be in cluster. Earlier we have done cluster installation for ABAP & JAVA stack which would come in same cluster only. But now, since ABAP and JAVA have to be installed with separate SID, can I install both ABAP and JAVA stack in same cluster with two nodes or do we need to have separate cluster for ABAP and JAVA. As of now, we only have two nodes available. If we need to go with separate cluster for ABAP and JAVA we need to get two additional nodes.
So, let me know whether we can use existing two nodes and create a cluster and install ABAP and JAVA with different SID's on it. I have gone through the installation guide and could understand that it can be done. Hence let me know, whether I can go with single cluster. If so, then would be the advantages and disadvantages.
Thanks & Regards,
Sharath

Hi Sharath Babu,
The ASCS & SCS instance must be installed and configured to run on two MSCS nodes in one MSCS
cluster. Ofcourse ESR is also on the same lines.
In brief, for each SAP system you have to install one central instance and at least one dialog instance.
For example, if your local instance on both nodes should have below listed items
<drive>:\usr\sap\<SID>\SYS
<drive>:\usr\sap\<SID>\ASCS20
<drive>:\usr\sap\<SID>\SCS10
And these above folders are junction point with Central Instance that's build in SAN Drive with similar set of folders
<drive>:\usr\sap\<SID>\SYS
<drive>:\usr\sap\<SID>\ASCS20
<drive>:\usr\sap\<SID>\SCS10

During the installation of grid infra(cluster) for Oracle 11.2 RAC one.

Good Day All, and thanks in advance…
During the installation of grid infrastructure(cluster) for Oracle 11.2 RAC One Node on AIX6.1 ( PROD) , ASM used. I am getting below errors when executing ./root.sh
Upon investigation ,I managed to get note: 1068212.1 from the support oracle site ( see below for details) . I might be hitting Unpublished bug 8670579. I also logged Severity 2 SR with Oracle support to get the bug/patch fix and no one has attended the call.
This might be configuration issue or otherwise , if you have experienced the same issue please assist ? ( if you need more logfiles please feel free to request)….
I ran the Cluster Verify Check – all passed.
Many Thanks
Ezekiel Filane

Hi,
We are also trying to install 11.2.0.2 Grid infrastructure for Oracle RAC One Node on AIX 6.1. We did a POC in our lab environment and after much struggle got that working. Now we are building 4 clusters in the production environment and the first cluster installation failed while running root.sh on node2. We already have a Sev1 ticket open with Oracle Support but have not heard anything.
Here is root.sh output from node2. The two node names are p01dou416 and p01dou417.
CRS-4402: The CSS daemon was started in exclusive mode but found an active CSS daemon on node p01dou416, number 1, and is terminating

Error when trying to run UCM from browser -The portal page for your Content

Hi
When I try and run the UCM in a browser using "http://localhost/idc", it showing
"The portal page for your Content Server needs to be rebuilt. Start the WebLayout Editor as a standalone application and select Update Portal... from the Options menu."
I did see a previous message that says to go to Weblayout Editor Applet - Options - Build Home Page - Update -Ok, but I was not able to see the Build Home Page option in the drop down.
Any ideas what may be causing this issue?
Thanks in advance for your help
Cheers
Sylvia

Hi Srinath
Thanks for your reply.
Commenting out the following lines still does not fix my problem.
<div align=center><b>Welcome to UCM10g for SIF DEV</b></div><br>
     <$if IsLoggedIn$>UserName = <i><$UserName$></i><br><$endif$>
     <$if IsDynamic$>Current Time = <i><$dateCurrent()$></i>
     <$else$>This is a static page.
     <$endif$>
I have installed this product on two environments following the same kind format.
In our dev environment I am able to type in the following to get to the Welcome to Content Server Page
http://devenv/idc/
In the other environment I use the following and I get that the error "The portal page for your Content Server needs to be rebuilt. Start the WebLayout Editor as a standalone application and select Update Portal... from the Options menu."
http://testenv/idc
So the only way to get to the Content Server Page is to type the full path as below which I don't want to do, because I want the welcome screen to appear first.
https://testenv/idc/idcplg?IdcService=GET_DOC_PAGE&Action=GetTemplatePage&Page=HOME_PAGE&Auth=Internet
Is there a way I can configure the application to get to my welcome screen instead of getting the error message detailed above?
Thanks
Sylvia

XI/PI ANSI/ISA-95 Content For Production Schedule; Production Performance

Hello experts,
Can you please let me know what the correct name of the package is on SAP Market Place for the pre-defined ANSI/ISA-95 Content (for Production Schedules; Production Performance; Maintenance Requests;Maintenance Workorders etc. for SAP MII scenarios) .
Thanks and regards,
Brendon

Hi Brendon,
If you are trying to find out packages for MII, the best link is this: http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/webcontent/uuid/90537bfe-fd6b-2910-fda3-b04f1177c51e. [original link is broken] The specific link for standard MII templates (version 12.1) is: http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/e090ef23-dbc5-2a10-0994-b589d869cd92. NOTE: It requires a S user and also SDN user to download.
I tried to find out what ANSI/ISA-95 refers and I guess what you need is into PP templates into the link above. It doesnu2019t make sense u201CXI contentu201D if you need MII content, my advice is trying to download and install into your MII this templatesu2026

Maintaining 2 servers for production

Hi Experts,
Is it possible to maintain 2 servers for Production, so that if there's some outage then the other server will be active??
How to map both the servers?
Please suggest.
Regards,
Sushama

Hi,
Are you looking for load balance or some cluster thing...or
want to expose the servers to outside network...DMZ...in this case yes ...
if you are looking for load balance... then two nodes can be created in the same server...but needed more memory in the server...
if you want to expose to the outside netwrok people for exchaning data..then need to maintain one in DMZ..and other in with in network..which does the application processing..

Recommendation of use for MaxDB for production use and Oracle comparison

Hi all,
We are about to propose to a customer of ours the use of SAPDB for production use. This would be a good way to reduce license costs.
Previous use of this DB platform has shown that it is mature, but since I am not a basis or DBA, I can't really pinpoint if we miss a lot of functionality.
Who could provide some info on the following:
1 - Are there major functionalities that Oracle provides that MaxDB doesn't?
2 - Customer reference (or your inputs) on success stories.
Thanks in advance.
Leonardo

> Who could provide some info on the following:
>
> 1 - Are there major functionalities that Oracle provides that MaxDB doesn't?
I would ask:"What functionalities do you expect from a database system?" - and then "Can MaxDB provide those functionalities?". It does not makes sense, IMHO, to compare "possible" things if you never need them.
> 2 - Customer reference (or your inputs) on success stories.
We run MaxDB (former ADABAS D, former SAPDB) for 12 years now on all our systems. Our main ERP 6.0 EHP4 has a size of 3 TB, we run on Linux serving about 900 users (700 concurrent), a BI with roughly 1 TB (with BWA), CRM with 600 GB, and tons of portals and smaller systems (SRM, SRM-MDM 7.1, GTS 7.2, SolMan, PLM (cProjects), Content Servers and more).
There are, as with every database, "performance problems" in special areas but generally our response times are below 500 ms on the main ERP.
One drawback of the MaxDB is the fact, that it does not use UTF-8/CESU-8 to store the data (yet) so if you use only single byte codepages in a Unicode system, you will neverless consume the full 2-byte space per character.
Basically I think that you can run roughly 98 % of the current systems on MaxDB without any impacts.

CA Forum: General Feedback
Hi all members, I want to know, just like Sharepoint Portal which are other portals to connect with Business Objects. Which are other portals to be supported with Business Objects? Kindly any member guide here.
Any link having lists of portals supported for Business Objects is welcome.

Izhar,
I would suggest going to the Business Objects Support site and doing a search on "portal integration kit" (and before clicking on search, choose your product via the "Products:" indicator, as well as choosing the Document Types of "Kbase Articles", "Product Documentation", and "Technical Papers").

WSRP/JSR-168 for production?

Maybe I'm missing something, but from my little research on the use of WSRP/JSR-168 within Portal, all indications are this is not ready for production use. Meaning, if I use JDeveloper (or some other tool) I cannot deploy production quality Portlets based on these standards within Portal 10g (9.0.4). Is this correct, or did I miss something?
Given this, my only choice is to use the JPDK if I wish to develop Java based portlets.
Thanks...
Dean

Hi all,
Even i am also looking for if any body has consumed the JSR168 portlet on
OracleAs Portal 10g Release 2.
I have found some article where it is mentioned that
Production Support for JSR 168 and WSRP
Once upgraded to Oracle Portal 10.1.4, a repository only upgrade on top of OracleAS 10.1.2.0.2, your portal version provides production support for building and consuming standards-based portlets. Oracle portal provides a Java Portlet Wizard within Oracle JDeveloper to build JSR 168 portlets and publish those portlet to Oracle's container or any portlet standards container. You can then consume JSR 168 portlet with Oracle Portal through WSRP. Oracle Portal also supports consuming any portlet through WSRP as well as JPDK portlets.
U can read the complete details here:-

Is vmware supported for production environment ?

Hi All,
Is vmware supported for production environment ?
Thanks
Sunny

All,
I'm glad someone has outlined the clear support statement that has existed for sometime between VMware - SAP. For those of you still running on Oracle, here is some good news:
Wording towards SAP Customers requesting support:
"Oracle, VMware and SAP are working collaboratively to ensure support for SAP customers that use VMware virtualization for SAP solutions running Oracle DB. Functional tests are currently being performed to verify supportability of the SAP&Oracle stack. Details will be made available in SAP note 1173954 u201CSupport of Oracle for VMwareu201D after tests have been completed. It is expected that in Q1 2010, ESX 3.5 and later releases including vSphere 4 will be supported by Oracle and SAP according to Oracleu2019s metalink note 249212."
There is no reason why x86 platform today cannot run the most demanding workloads on VMware vSphere in a production environment. But has noted earlier, don't get hung up on "production" - you have heaps of TestDev, SolMan TestDev, sandboxes, gateways, application servers etc that should immediately by put into a VM - once you are comfortable with your solution in-house, I'm sure you will move production instances into a VM as well.

Error during goods receipt of Finished goods for production order

hi friends
pls help me iam struggle this issue and mentioned the issue .
when i do goods receipt for production order system getting error like
No price could be determined for material/batch FG/ plant ZTP
     Message no. CK 465
Diagnosis
     The system could not calculate a price for material/batch FG/ in plant
     ZTP for valuation view 0, because none of the valuation strategies in
     valuation variant 007 was successful.
System Response
     User-defined error management enables you to specify whether the message
     is an error message, a warning message or an information message.
     o   If you have defined the message as a warning message or an
         information message, the costing item will be entered in the cost
         estimate with a value of zero.
If you have defined the message as an error message, the cost
estimate contains an error or errors.
-   In the case of a material cost estimate, the system sets the
    status KF.
-   If it is a cost estimate without quantity structure, or base
    object cost estimate (that is, a unit cost estimate), the
    system cannot proceed with costing until you have corrected the
    errors.
If the system issues a termination message, the cost estimate cannot
be processed, and processing is terminated.
procedure
    o   Check the master data for material/batch FG/ in plant ZTP.
    o   If you have authorization for Customizing, check the valuation
        strategy for materials in valuation variant 007.
    Note
    If the message is a warning message or an information message, there is
    a danger that materials with errors will be ignored by the system.
    If, because of this, you issue a warning message and at the same time
    include materials with a zero value in cost estimates, you can make the
    following settings for these materials in the costing view of the
    material master:
1. Enter a very low price in the planned price 1, 2 or 3 fields
      manually, for instance 0.01 USD. These prices are used for costing
      purposes only; they are not read by other applications.
2. Enter the highest price unit possible, for example 10000.
      Note: If you enter a new price unit that is higher than the costing
      lot size, the system increases the costing lot size accordingly.
3. Change the valuation strategy, such as strategy 4, where you could
      enter the planned price field in which you entered the low price.
      The system now costs as follows:
      Using the valuation strategy, the system finds planned price 1, 2 or
      3. Due to the low price and high price unit, the system rounds the
      value to zero. However, the cost estimate still obtains status KA
      (free of errors), and no error message is issued.
      This procedure can be used for all materials that have caused error
      message CK465 to be issued.
