Ben,
CentOS is not certified as a database/application tier node.
You can find the packages from the Media Pack (Download it from e-Delivery website), or just search Google (below is an example):

Single Sign on in a 3 tier architecture between SAP Netweaver CE and R/3

Hi All,
I am trying to implement SSO using SAP logon tickets in a 3 tier architecture between NW CE and R/3. But so far I have not been able to crack this.
Let me describe the scenario in detail:
We have two Java EE applications on Netweaver CE7.2 Application Server:
1. UI: Just handles all the UI logic : js, jsp, css, html, extjs .It calls the Business Layer Java EE application to get data from back-end systems.
2. Business Layer: Calls R/3 SOAP services does some processing on them and exposes the data back to the UI via a Restful JSON service (implemented using Java Spring framework)
Both UI and Business Layer Java EE applications define login modules to be used for SAP logon tickets. So the architecture is like this:
UI-RESTfull-->Business LayerSOAP->ABAP R/3
So ideally when the UI link is clicked it prompts the user for authentication (uses CE UME) and then the UI applications calls the Business Layer which then calls R/3. This unfortunately doesn't work. The authentication between UI and Business Layer Application fails.
However if you remove the Business Layer Java EE application and call the SOAP service directly from the UI. SAP logon tickets starts working.
So I have been able to make SAP logon tickets work with the following 2 tier architecture:
UI---SOAP--->R/3
So my Question is:
Is there a way to use SAP logon tickets in a 3 tier architecture between NW CE and R/3 (For the scenario described above)? Any help/pointers/documentation links would be great

Hey Martin,
To enable SSO I updated web.xml and engine-j2ee.xml for both UI and Business Layer application according to the login module stacks defined (the first one) in the following link:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_NW70EHP1/helpdata/en/04/120b40c6c01961e10000000a155106/content.htm
Initially both UI and Business Layer had the same entries for web.xml and engine.xml. But since this was not working I did all kinds of testing. For UI i used FORM based authentication and for Business Layer I was using "BASIC" authentication.
I tested the following Scenarios:
1. Without any changes to the above XML files: The Business layer rejects any requests from the UI . I checked the Browser and "MYSAPSSO2" cookie was created. Somehow UI doesnt use this to call Business Layer. Or the Business Layer rejects the token itself
2. I removed authentication from the Business Layer application (Web.xml) keeping the UI same: The call went to R3 but returned a "UnAuthorized" error back. In this case also at the browser level "MYSAPSSO2" token was created but was not used by the business layer to call R3.
3. The did all sorts of permutation and combination with the sample login modules provided (See link above) on both UI and Business Layer application . Nothing worked. All combinations led to two results which were the same as 1 and 2
It seems all this is happening because of another application in between UI and R3.
Hope this Clarifies.
Thanks,
Dhannajay

Need help for learning how to develop interfaces for Oracle R12 EBS

Hi all,
I need to learn how to create interfaces in PL/SQL for Oracle R12 EBS Financials. I cannot find a good starting point for the documentation and examples to help me get started in this area. Would appreciate tips
for this area.

Hi,
What kind of interfaces you are planning to develop?
Oracle already provides list of APIs that can be used (in R12, it is responsibility).
Oracle Integration Repository Documentation Resources Release 12 [ID 396116.1]
Oracle Integration Repository
http://irep.oracle.com/index.html
If those APIs do not satisfy your requirements, you can refer to "Oracle Applications Developer" guide as well as SQL-PL/SQL guides.

SharePoint 2013 three-tier architecture

Hi all, I am going to install SharePoint 2013 in a three-tier farm environment.
I understand that the only difference between web server and app server is whether or not the "Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Web Application" service application is running or not. If yes = web server, if no = app server. App server is also where
CA is installed. Both web server and app server will have connection to DB. When web server serves web page requests from users, it will go to DB directly to get the page content.
However, the real three-tier architecture actually means that only app server should have access to DB. Web server will get the information it needs from the app server.
Is my understanding correct so far? Why is there a difference between three-tier architecture when it is applied in SharePoint context?

No, all SharePoint servers directly interface with databases for services that they host (with some exceptions). 3 tier just means you have a "WFE" which end users interact with, and it doesn't matter what services are on that "WFE",
another SharePoint server which may do the same or other things, but users don't directly interact with, and of course the SQL Server.

Three(two)-tier architecture - need help

Hello,
very need your advice about implementing 3-tier architecture with .NET.
My intention was to organize the following architecture: server contains data access layer and business layer, and ODP.NET is installed on the server, client requests business layer on the server through .NET Remoting. Business layer on the server returns typed data sets;objects on the server implement interfaces, which return data sets. So, client dlls need to reference only this data sets declaration (which are vendor independent) and interfaces, and no ODP.NET is needed on the client. The problem is that when I generate data source in Visual Studio 2008, it generates also references on ODP.NET, so I cannot reference this project in client application! While I need "pure" data sets, without ODP.NET references, but, at the same time, I want to use auto-generated adapters and not write code manually!
How can I do it?
Thanks in advance.. and need your reply!

For me, I will use Web Services to achieve this. Somehow, you can use other remoting method to do that as well.

How to install oracle applicatons in a three tier architecture

Hi,
i want to install oracle apps in a three tier architecture?
application tier -- middle tier
database tier -- database tier
Any steps or a meta link document
Regards
Sudharshan

Hi,
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B34956_01/current/acrobat/120oaig.pdf
Pages 2-10 and Pages 2-19 don't specify this ???
They indicate only having to install with rapidwiz 1 time (as root user if appl/ora accounts setup) ??It is mentioned in Page 1-2
Release 12 utilizes the conf_<SID>.txt file in certain situations, for example where the database has not yet been created. The configuration file is also employed in multi-node (distributed) installs, where you only need to enter the install information once, on one machine, and can then copy the configuration file to other machines as required.
If you are installing in an environment where different machines are used to support the database and Applications tiers (as is typically the case), you would run Rapid Install on each machine in turn, starting with the database machine.

Pessimistic locking in a three-tier architecture

Hello,
we use a three-tier architecture to edit data in a database (Oracle 10g) with a rich-client application and we want to use pessimistic locking.
The client is communicating with a stateless bean on the application server (Jboss 4.2.3).
This bean-facade has methods for reading, writing and locking records that are transferred to the client encapsulated in entity beans.
The client controls the transactions as JPA-User-Transactions.
The methods in the container managed bean have the transaction attribute REQUIRED.
Before doing any modification on the client a method setLock() is called in the bean to lock the records in the database.
The lock is implemented with query hints:
Query query = em.createQuery("select e from Person e WHERE e.id = 252");
query.setHint(QueryHints.PESSIMISTIC_LOCK, PessimisticLock.LockNoWait);
So much for this theroy...
Practically we can set a lock on a record in the database.
But removing the lock is working when changing and committing the record only.
The record remains locked if performing a rollback or a commit without any changes.
Any idea what's missing in our implementation?
Our approach should work - theoretically...
Thanks in advance for any hint
Best regards,
Martin Kubitza

Thank you for the hint on JPA - we are analyzing this now.
Meanwhile we tried something "easier": Optimistic locking
Optimistic locking works well with a version-column and the @VERSION annotation. But we get a problem with the @OptimisticLocking(type = OptimisticLockingType.ALL_COLUMNS annotation (see Optimistic Locking with OptimisticLockingType.ALL_COLUMNS
We are using Eclipselink V1.1 and (now) a bean managed transaction type)

Question about three-tier architecture for MI

Hi,
my question is just for the right understanding. If we speak about three-tier architecture of MI is it right, that the following is meant:
Client = Presentation Tier
Middleware = Application Tier/Logic Tier/Business Logic Tier
Backend = Data Tier
Thank you and regards,
Florian

Hi Florian,
ICF (Internet Communication Framework) is actually a framework provided by any WebAS. MI makes use of this to receive/send the data from/to the client. It is referred to as ABAP Sync Service in MI terminology. Data comes in the form of HTTP stream. A service is created to provide this functionality. It performs the same job as of the J2EE engine in the earlier versions. The advantage being that an intermediate component between the client & middleware is not necessary anymore, because ICF is part of the WebAS itself.
You can have a look at this in the sicf transaction, provide the service name as MJC, under this u can see that there are 3 services which MI uses - mi_host, mi_service & mi_mds.
You can set these parameters in the mobileengine.config file to make the client connect to ABAP Sync Service.
MobileEngine.Sync.Gateway.Service=/sap/bc/MJC/mi_host
MI.Sync.ProtocolVersion=251500
I am in the process of writing a blog, please wait for it.

Servlets in three tier Architecture

Hi
We plan to use a three tier architecture with
Client --- Applet (JDK 1.2)
Middle tier -- WebServer and servlets
Database Server -- Oracle 8i
Our application should have data entry for several (5 - 12 ) tabs each consisting of around 15 fields . A few Jtables will also be used .
Arounf 5 to 10 validations or queries are required to be done with the database in the applet. Around 300 entries will be made by 12 different users in a day.
Is it advisable to use the above architecture ?
Is it required to use Enterprise JavaBeans ?
Will the use of servlets bring down the performance?
Overall is our architecture feasible for the requirement ?
We will be greatfull to your suggestions
Please also mail to [email protected]

From what you have described about your application BC4J seems to be the ideal candidate.
Is it advisable to use the above architecture ?I see not limitation with your architecture. The only thing to keep in mind is that you should use applets only if you absolutely need to. Overall development and maintenance is much easier if you are just using servlets and JSPs.
Is it required to use Enterprise JavaBeans ?See below.
Will the use of servlets bring down the performance? No.
Overall is our architecture feasible for the requirement ?If you had not needed applets then I'd have recommended the following:
Scenario #1
Client --- Browser
Presentation Server -- Standard WebServer(Apache,OAS etc) running Servlets, JSPs talking to BC4J classes available on the local classpath
Database Server -- Any Oracle Database
Simplicity and ease of maintenance are some of the benefits of the above model. The limitation in the above scenario is that you cannot have a thin remote client(Java application or applet).
If you want a remote client then I'd recommend:
Scenario #2
Client --- Browser|Applet (if you know you have a small number of users then you can go for a client side Application too)
Presentation Server -- Standard WebServer(Apache,OAS etc) running Servlets, JSPs
Application Server -- Standard AppServer (VisiBroker|OAS|JServer) running BC4J components as EJB session beans or CORBA server objects
Database Server -- Any Oracle Database
In this scenario the servlets|JSPs will be going over IIOP to talk to the application server. On the client side, the BC4J framework ensures that the network traffic is minimized and also the client side Java application or applet is as thin as it can be.
Whether you go with scenario#1 or scenario#2 the cool thing about using BC4J is that you have to write your business logic only once and then you can deploy it in multiple platforms(local,EJB,CORBA) and access it from different clients(JSP,Servlets,Java,XML...) without modifying your business logic.
Hope this helps.
Please let me know if you have any questions.

Arun

when i am trying to develop this application i am getting some problem what the problem is acess denied from remote database .
so please guide me in this issue.
have a nice day

Satish,
3 Tier architecture is essentially holding different parts of an
application on different tiers, typically the database is stored
on one tier, the business logic (and maybe the application) are
stored on the middle tier and the GUI is found on the client
tier. In oracle speak this translates into a data server, an
application server that delivers a Java application to the
client. N-Tier architecture is a natural progression to this,
where the middle tier can be split into multiple distributed
application servers.
You could say that client-server is 2-tier architecture.
Hope this helps

Three tier architecture using oracle dev suite 10g & oracle database 9i

hi ,
I am trying to build a software which will manage the database of a hospital through usual form design .
The tools I am using for these are
(1) oracle server database 9i (2) oracle developer suite 10g (3) windows xp professional service pack 2 .
I have designed the form modules in developer suite , created the tables in the database , connected those tables to the form modules using dml statements, now data can be inserted , updates and deleted through the form design . I have also deployed the forms using "run forms through web" and thereby other computers connected to the main computer through lan can also access the software using the web port address and the name of form to be used , these computers are not having oracle developer suite or oracle database installed , but they can access the software through the browser .
In this scenario my question is that , is this a three tier architecture as oracle database is the first tier , oracle developer suite is the middle tier where I am puting all the bussiness logics and oc4j instance is used to connect the database and the dev suite , and for user interaction we have the browser as the third tier ?
or this is a two tier architecture ? if this is a two tier architecture please let me know how can I implement a three tier architecture using oracle developer suite 10g and oracle server database 9i .
Thanks a lot for showing ur interest to read this

You need Oracle Application Server to deploy the forms when you go live.
What you are currently using OC4J which came in the developer suite. It is used only for development purpose and can not have capacity to handle higher load.
3 tier arch
1. Thin Client :-> Browser
2 Middle tier -> Oracle Appln Server /OC4j(in ur case)
3 Database Tier -> Oracle Database

Three tier architecture questions

Hello,
My question is in regards to using Toplink in a three tier architecture situation. If I wish to send an object A which has a collection of Bs and B has a collection of C ( A nested object structure with two or more levels of indirection). Is the best solution to have the named query be part of a unit of work so that even if on the client side somebody unknowingly were to make the modification to one of the entity objects ( a POJO) the shared session cache would not be affected ?
This is assuming the client side HTTP layer and the RMI/EJB layer are on different JVMs.
Some of the other suggestions I have heard is to retrieve it from the shared session cache directly and if in case I need to modify one or more of the objects do a named query lookup on that object alone and then proceed to register that object in a unit of work and then commit the changes.
Also the indirection would have to be utilised before the data objects are sent to the Servlet layer I presume ?(That is if I do a a.getAllOfBObjects() on the servlet side I would get a nullpointer exception unless all of B were already instatiated on the server side). Also when the objects are sent back to the server do I do a registerObject on all the ones that have changed and then do a deepMergeClone() before the uow.commit() ?
Thanks,
Aswin.

Aswin,
If your client is remote to the EJB tier then all persistent entities are detached through serialization. In this architecture you do not need to worry about reading and modifying the shared instance as it never the one being changed on the client (due to serialization).
Yes, you do need to ensure that all required indirect relationships are instantiated on the server prior to returning them from the EJB call.
Yes, you do need to merge the changes of the detached instance when returned to the server. I would also recommend first doing a read for the entity being merged (by primary key) on the new UnitOfWork prior to the merge. This will handle the case where you are merging into a different node of the cluster then where you read as well as allowing you to check for the case where the entity no longer exists in the database (if the read returns null then the merge will result in an INSERT and this may not be desired).
Here is an example test case that does this:
    public void test() throws Exception {
        Employee detachedEmp = getDeatchedEmployee("Jill", "May");
        assertNotNull(detachedEmp);
        // Remove the first phone number
        PhoneNumber phone = detachedEmp.getPhoneNumber("Work");
        assertNotNull("Employee does not have a Work Phone Number",
                      detachedEmp.getPhoneNumber("Work"));
        detachedEmp.removePhoneNumber(phone);
        UnitOfWork uow = session.acquireUnitOfWork();
        Employee empWC = (Employee) uow.readObject(detachedEmp);
        if (empWC == null) { // Deleted
            throw new RuntimeException("Could not update deleted employee: " + detachedEmp);
        uow.deepMergeClone(detachedEmp);
        uow.commit();
     * Return a detached Employee found by provided first name and last name.
     * Its phone number relationship is instantiated.
    public Employee getDeatchedEmployee(String firstName, String lastName) {
        ReadObjectQuery roq = new ReadObjectQuery(Employee.class);
        ExpressionBuilder builder = roq.getExpressionBuilder();
        roq.setSelectionCriteria((builder.get("firstName").equal(firstName)).and(builder.get("lastName").equal(lastName)));
        Employee employee = (Employee)session.executeQuery(roq);
        employee.getPhoneNumbers().size();
        return (Employee)SerializationHelper.serialize(employee);
    }One other note: In these types of application optimistic locking is very important. You should also make sure that the locking field(s) are mapped into the object and not stored only in the TopLink cache. This will ensure the locking semantics are maintained across the detachment to the client and the merge back.

Reportings Services in a 2-Tier Architecture / (Installation Error: Could not find SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\110 registry key. )

Hello,
we want to install Reporting Services in a 2-Tier Architecture. The Servers are the following:
SERVER1: Windows Server 2012 and SQL Server 2012
SERVER2: SharePoint 2013 (WFE)
Reporting Server is installed on SERVER1 and running. On SERVER2 the registration of the service through Powershell was done but it does not start. An Error when starting the Service on the server occurs with the message:
"Installation Error: Could not find SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\110 registry key."
I have found the following in msdn stating that a minimal of the same SharePoint Installation must exist on the Reporting Server. The article is for SQL Server 2008 R2 and SharePoint 2010. Is this the case also for SQL Server 2012 and SharePoint 2013 and
the root of the problem? http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb510781%28v=sql.105%29.aspx
If so does this mean that I require for the installation another License?!?!
Thank you in advance!

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to install Reporting Services in a 2-Tier Architecture.
As the article
say, if you use Two-Computer Deployment, the first computer hosts an instance of a SharePoint product. The Reporting Services Add-in is installed on this computer. The second computer hosts SQL Server Reporting Services and the Database Engine.
The steps to install in a two-tier environment are very similar to a standalone environment hence you can go to refer to the ' Install Reporting Services SharePoint Mode for SharePoint 2013' article at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj219068(v=sql.110).aspx
To install in a two-tier environment, you can refer to:
