DBA Cockpit: Planning calendar and remote Oracle databases- which method?

For using DBA Planning Calendar to schedule BR*Tools for remote Oracle database AS Java systems I have successfully implemented both the Secure Shell and SAP gateway methods in [Note 1025707 - DBA Cockpit: Planning calendar and remote Oracle databases|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1025707] and was interested in which of these two methods others have found to be more supportable and maintainable?
In more detail, the note has these two methods for non-ABAP remote systems:
2. Connection through Remote/Secure Shell
Specifically Secure Shell. Rejecting remote shell as too old and insecure a protocol.
3 Connection through SAP gateway
The note provides clues as to how these methods work. Expanding on that:
With #2, central ABAP system calls out to its OS user level to execute the ssh client (after gw/rem_start has been set to the non-default value SSH_SHELL) which it finds in the location specified in gw/ssh (default value is /usr/bin/ssh). It must use password-less authentication and the key-based authentication must also not require a passphrase. (Using ssh-agent is not an option since this is being called from SAP, not from your own script.)
It remotely runs via ssh a command, sapxpg, which must be found in the PATH of the remote user. (This is why the note, which has you place this exe sapxpg and a subset of the BR*Tools in the home dir of the remote user, also has you make sure the home dir is included in the path--your OS might or might not include the user's home dir in the path in the default shell environment for a new user.)
Then via sapxpg, the BR*Tools are invoked.
One thing that may be confusing here is you have to check at least one gateway parameter 'gw/...' in the central system to get the method #2 the non-gateway method to work--this is because the two methods are technically almost the same: in #2, secure shell is used to basically start a gateway on the fly with sapxpg in order to call the BR*Tools each time a DBA Planning Calendar action runs or you view DBA or Backup logs of the remote system from the central system. With #3, the gateway runs continuously on the remote system.
With #3, central system connects to remote SAP standalone gateway, which executes the BR*Tools installed in the standard SAP kernel directory of the SAP gateway. This method is simpler to describe so it sounds like it has less components than the secure shell method, however you do have an entire SAP system running, although it is just a standalone gateway.
Thoughts:
These pros/cons are UNIX/Linux-oriented since I assume most Windows environments do not have added 3rd-party products that provide secure shell so SAP gateway is the only method.
Secure shell
+ Less software required (not counting secure shell which comes with the operating system distribution): just a few SAP executables placed in the home dir of an ordinary user on the remote system.
+ Secure shell service probably automatically starts upon boot of the remote system operating system.
+ Secure shell is a widely used tool outside of SAP for executing commands remotely without passwords.
- Installation is non-standard: shell environment of remote user is not adapted by SAP installer since SAP installer is not used, SAP executables in the home dir of the remote user is non-standard. Has to be setup manually.
- Requires setting up secure shell key-based authentication, which should be known by UNIX/Linux admins or combined Basis/UNIX/Linux admins, but might be less familiar to SAP Web AS only admins.
- If your admin config policy is to have SAP interact as little possible with the OS level for interfaces with other systems, here you are relying on the OS-level secure shell.
- Using a private key that does not require a passphrase on the central system may not fit with your security policies if you have standards for secure shell configuration.
SAP gateway
+ The gateway is a standard installation, performed with SAP installation tool, with the exception of a few additional environment settings that have to be added after the installation. BR*Tools are installed in the standard location. Can use standard procedures for updating this software.
+ Only uses SAP software.
- More software on remote system: standalone gateway just to run BR*Tools and view logs.
- SAP Kernel of remote gateway should probably be updated whenever you do SAP kernel updates across your systems for consistency. One more system to update.
- Shell environment of remote user that runs the gateway looks like something setup by the SAP installer but is not standard because it has a few additional environment variables added.
- Need to make sure the SAP gateway is started on the remote system.

Hi Joe,
I configured a monitoring/dba landscape for two SAP Portals and one SAP BusinessObjects system on a SAP landscape by using DBACOCKPIT, at a customer site. These systems are running on AIX, Windows 2003/2008 servers and attached to the central monitoring system with standalone SAP gateway installations.
One another reason to not use OS based commands or 3rd party tools is security. We are stopping and disabling most of the services on OS where SAP system is running on, because of the security reasons. I faced more security gaps on rsh/ssh and the other tools than standalone SAP Gateway installations. As you can figure out that rsh/ssh is getting more attack than standalone SAP Gateway, because of well known by the IT world.
As a summary of it, this depends to point of view and policy of the IT organization. I applied both ssh and standalone SAP Gateway solutions at my customers, but I choose standalone SAP Gateway installation among of them.

Orkun Gedik

RFC error while adding an remote monitoring entry to CEN

Hi,
I am trying to add an remote system to CEN by RZ21 i.e.
in RZ21 -> Technical Infrastructure -> Configure Central system -> Create Remote Monitoring Entry
But while testing RFC connections before saving, it giving following erros :
SC4_RZ20_COLLECT_195119Error when opening an RFC connection
Error during remote call of SAL_MS_GET_LOCAL_MS_INFO function: Error when opening an RFC connection
Error during remote call of SALC function: Error when opening an RFC connection
Error during remote call of RFC1 function: Error when opening an RFC connection
Are these errors of any concern?
or shall i go ahead and save the entries?
Please suggest.

Hi,
ssue has been fixed after following
SAP Note 1453112 - CCMS agent and kernel: patches 2010
1:) Here we first performed kernel upgrade then re register agents as per note.
2:) While for mentioned error during remote monitoring entry we checked in path
Tcode-> sm59-> TCP/IP connectiones -> then in RFC destination SAPCCM4X.<SID>.<instance no> and found destination information was not correct so we corrected as
SAPCCM4X.<monitoring system id>.<instance no> then
then perform remote monitoring entrory steps via RZ21 and issue got resoulved

Monitor database connections/sessions

Hi, i would know if anyone has suggestion on how i can monitor the number of connections to the db from a particular host?
From the oracle client's oracle enterprise manager console, i can go network->database->instance->sessions, i can see the which remote host is the connection coming from and what program is using the connection.
From the OS level i could do a primitive `ps -ef | grep ORACLE_SID ` to see and count the total number of connections.( but i cant see which remote is the connection coming from)
I would like to achieve the purpose of remotely monitoring of the DB, if there are too many sessions coming from a particular host, running a particular program, send out alerts.
Are there any oracle commands or OS scripting that i can use?

Potentially, you could query the v$session data dictionary to get this sort of information for active connections. You might also want to audit connections and query the audit tables.
Of course, unless you're trying to monitor a problem that is very particular to your environment, I'm not sure how useful the sort of monitoring you're proposing would be. Knowing that there are a larger number of connections from a particular host than normal wouldn't seem to be a particularly interesting event.

Not able to connect remote oracle database over VPN

I can not connect remote oracle database over VPN. tnsping is ok and it shows the server information of remote database. i can also telnet the 1521 port of remote database server. I can connect the same server when it is located in the same LAN. Please help me out this is very urgent.

First, this is a forum of volunteers. There is no "urgent" here.
"Urgent" means one of two things -
1) people are dying, or
2) you have a customer-facing, revenue-producing production system that is down.
(And to get some perspective on the second case, keep the first in mind.)
For the first, you call whatever civil emergency service seems appropriate.
For the second, you open an SR with Oracle - which requires a paid-up support contract. For *them* to consider your problem "urgent", you will need to demonstrate that your problem falls under item #2. I seriously doubt your problem fits that criteria.
You don't have a support contract? Now you know the exact dollar figure that your company places on the data.
That said, you need to understand a few things about your specific problem,
First, port 1521 is only used by the listener to accept a connection request. Once it gets that request (and finds that it is for a service (sid) that it knows about, it will fork a server process and tell the requesting client that it can communicate with that server process over some other port .. a randomly chosen port number in the "high" range. It could be your vpn is blocking that other port, whereas your internal firewall is not.
But this is just an educated guess since I cannot find "can not connect remote oracle database over VPN" in any error message manual. If you had mentioned the VPN along with an actual oracle error message we could be much more precise in our diagnoses and recommendations.
---- edit 22 Sep
It occurred to me that I just assumed you were using the same client machine in both cases ... a laptop that you use both at work (local network) and home (vpn). If that assumption is false, there are probably problems with your tns setup on the home (vpn) machine.
But again, it would be much easier to help if you gave us an actual error message.

Remote Monitoring Latest Best Practice Architecture

Hi guys,
I've developed very few remote monitoring systems in the past. One of them was using a PXI RT and the rest are cRIO. The approach and architecture were based from some of the things I've read from ni.com and this forum. In the process, there were much difficulties and some extensive troubleshooting exercises that I need to do. The results, while the system work and meet the user's requirements, it didn't meet my own expectation. I was hoping that the system can be expanded (adding more cRIO or PXI) with much ease and little or no re-programming effort. Anyway, 2-3 years have passed and opportunities with similar requirements has emerged. So, I would like to get started to think about the architecture at an early stage (ie. now).
In my past systems, I've used Shared Variables (SV) a lot - and it gave much much headache too. Some of the troubles I had were:
1. I can't decide whether to lump all SV in one library and host them in one system, or to separate them into various libraries and systems... neither do I know what's the best approach, as I've read too many 'suggestions' and 'advices',
2. Some of the SV are from custom control and the control is type-def. When running the VI in RT with these SV in development platform, everything works smoothly but when I compiled and deploy, the program didn't run. After extensive troubleshooting, I found out that this had something to do with these SV - because when I removed the type-def from the custom controls and recreate my SV, everything worked fine. I suspect this may have something to do with how I deploy but after I tried several approach, the problem still persist.
3. The best and most common of all is unstable connectivity - it work today but that doesn't guarantee it will work tomorrow. When the host PC changes, the same problems resurfaced again. I read somewhere that I need to read or interface with the .alias file but this work some times and other times, the same problem persist.
Attached is the most common architecture that I've used. I would like to move away from SV as much as possible. If the application is 1:1, there's no problem as I can easily use TCP/IP & Network Stream. However, my doubts and headache comes when the RT:Host communication is either 1:N, N:N or N:1. I've read in ni.com and found out that there are various new approach to this, such as AMC (derivated from UDP), Web Services (or was it HTTP).
I really appreciate it if you guys share your thoughts and advices here, please?

Remote Mon Sys - Arch.pdf ‏27 KB

Nick,
I was not talking about the mgmt0 interface. The vlan that you are testing will have a link blocked between the two 3750 port-channel if the root is on the nexus vPC pair.
Logically your topology is like this:
| |
| Nexus Pair |
3750-1-----------------------3750-2
Since you have this triangle setup one of the links will be in blocking state for any vlan configured on these devices.
When you are talking about vPC and L3 are you talking about L3 routing protocols or just intervaln routing.
Intervlan routing is fine. Running L3 routing protocols over the peer-link and forming an adjaceny with an router upstream using L2 links is not recommended. Teh following link should give you an idea about what I am talking here:
http://bradhedlund.com/2010/12/16/routing-over-nexus-7000-vpc-peer-link-yes-and-no/
HSRP is fine.
As mentioned tracking feature purpose is to avoid block hole of traffic. It completely depends on your network setup. Don't think you would be needing to track all the interfaces.

Need help connecting a remote MySql database from Iphone

Hi, i need to connect to a remote MySql DataBase in windows from IPhone but..... i'm a noob with Xcode and Objective-C.
Can someone help me or explain me the way to do it plz?

I do not think MCPKit will help you on the iPhone. It is just an Objective-C wrapper around the standard mysql libraries which are not available for the iPhone. Your best bet would be to post on the mysql forums and see if you can get any help.
You can try extracting the mysql client library source code into a separate static library project, and see if you can get it to build for the iPhone.

Sound on remote monitor

I'm trying to get a basic TV to work as a remote monitor on my HP Pavillion laptop. The picture is fine - but there is no sound. It's connected via the RS232 AV output socket and the OS is Windows 7 64bit. Be very grateful for any ideas?

I have trouble with my remote speakers cutting out
intermittently. Does anyone know why this might
happen? It doesn't seem to be related to the load on
the processor. It's like when listening to internet
radio and you lose the connection for a second or
two. Very annoying.

Monitor database in restrict mode

hello everybody,
is there a way to see session activity information in Top Activity window when database is in restricted mode? Monitored database, OMS and agent are all 10.2.0.3.
So far I have tried to grant restricted session to dbsnmp but it didn't help.
thx for any suggestion

hi Alan,
I have tried to connect as sysdba to database but it shows no data. I also reconfigured the database target properties to be monitored through sys (as sysdba) but didn't work either.

Co-location of persistent chat and monitoring databases on Standard Edition server

Hello, I've seen all kinds of different answers to this question around the web with conflicting answers.
We have a basic IM/Presence only install of Lync 2013 and now want to deploy Monitoring and Persistent Chat roles.
As per this blog, it states you can co-locate all of these on one FE server.
http://windowspbx.blogspot.ca/2012/07/aaa-donotpost-install-lync-standard.html
Which does match what this TechNet article states:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg398131.aspx
However, in the Blog, it says you need to install Full SQL Server 2008 in order to collocate, yet this goes against what TechNet says is possible, in that you can have all databases in one instance:
Each SQL instance can contain only a single back-end database (for an Enterprise Edition Front End pool), single Monitoring database, single Archiving database, single persistent chat database, and single persistent chat compliance database.
I guess my question is, can I simply install Monitoring and Persistent Chat using the same default SQL Server 2012 instance that was installed along with the Front End Standard Edition server (RTC instance)? Or should I create a new instance? Or do I need
to install a new SQL Server 2012 somewhere on a different server altogether?
Thanks!

Hi,
Lync standard edition server has SQL express database by default to host RTC instance. Monitoring server required SQL reporting services, SQL express does not have reporting components part of it. Hence, you required full SQL version for monitoring
and archiving deployment.
Technically, you can install full SQL server on the standard edition server itself. But , it is not recommended in production environment. It's good idea to install SQL server on a dedicated server for hosting monitoring and archiving database.
Thanks

Please refer this question to the general Installation forum. Thanks!
The short answer is yes, you need to have the Oracle client software installed.

Is iphone JAVA-capable for Cingular Remote Monitoring?

AT&T/Cingular has a service called Remote Monitor that lets you put up cameras, motion sensors etc at a site and monitor them remotely using the internet or a java-based application that you can download to a Cingular phone. Great for monitoring a 2nd home.
Somehow I don't think it's possible to use the java-based application on the iphone. I may be able to use the Safari connection and use the internet for it, although this is slower and non-dedicated. Does anyone have any experience with this? Is Safari on the iphone capable of viewing live video?

no right now you cant but this would make a great thrid party app from Apple for the iPhone... Suggest it

UCCX 9 IPPA Remote Monitor using rmon.aef

Question, can you utilize the rmon.aef script to remote monitor agents that use IPPA at a remote site? Trying to figure out ways to monitor an agent in this scenario since SPAN and Desktop Monitoring can't be utilized given that they're using IPPA and are remote from UCCX. Thoughts?

There are lots of reasons why monitoring and recording can fail in an environment.
There are also lots of troubleshooting steps to verify a working environment as well.
You can start by searching these forums for terms like "monitoring not working", "silent monitoring", "remote monitoring", etc.
You may even find, within those posts, links to configuration and troubleshooting documents, such as:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/customer/products/sw/voicesw/ps556/products_tech_note09186a00801a62a8.shtml

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cust_contact/contact_center/cad_enterprise/non_release_docs/voip-mon-troubleshooting.pdf
The most common issue is, your regions are G711, and the IP Phones are negotiating G722, which cannot be recorded.
To verify, when an Agent is on a call, double tap the ? button on the phone and read the codec.
If it's G722, in CUCM, go to the Agent's phone, and switch the Advertise G722 from Use System Default to Disabled, save and reset, try again.

Remotely monitor my CCTV system using my Mac

I am in the process of installing a CCTV system at my house with a VXM4 DVR Hard drive recorder. It is very straight forward to remotely monitor the system using a PC with an internet connection, but I can't seem to do it using my Mac. I desperately don't want to use a PC to do this. Does anyone know how I can do it using my MAC. Thank you.

Welcome to the Apple boards.
Does your camera/recorder itself connect to the internet? Some do and all you need to do is browse to the IP address it is set for, just like any other website.
