Running ADS on windows 2008 x64

Hi All
I need to find out if ADOBE Document Services (ADS) can run on windows server 2008 x64. I know that according to Note 925741, ADS is not supported on a Windows 64 Bit servers but on 32bit servers, meaning you have to install it separately. My question is, since this note details windows server 2003 x64 as not supported by ADS, does this still hold for ADS (NetWeaver EHP1) on windows server 2008 x64 servers (being new and all).
Anyone who can assist, please advice
Ronny

Hello,
this is listed in the PAM. http://serivce.sap.com/PAM
But the exact answer is yes, the ADS supports x64 Windows 2008 installation.
Only IA64 is not supported.
Best regards,
Dezso

Reader 9.2 crashed when using attach to email command on windows 2008 x64

Hi,
I'm experiencing issues with Adobe Reader 9.2 on a windows 2008 x64 server. This box is running Terminal Services.
When a user open a pdf and wants to attach it to an email, reader simply crash !!
Does someone have ever experienced this kind of issue ?
Thanks.

Does this happen for all the files or only files greater than a certain size?

Upgrade ADS to Windows 2008 R2

Dear expert
We have active directory server (ADS) that run in windows 2003 and connect to our portal (netweaver 2004s). our company have plan to upgrade the ADS to windows 2008 R2, the question is, any issue regarding this plan? especially about connection between portal and ADS 2008 R2 ?
Thxs.

Hi!!
As you can read in [SAP note 1383873|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1383873], Windows Server 2008 R2 is not still supported by SAP. As the note specifies, the PAM will reflect that operating system as soon as it is supported (for Oracle, check also [note 1303262|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1303262]).
I tried to provide you a more tight estimation, and after conversations with the developers, I can advance you that it is not possible to expect the 710 products released for Windows Server 2008 R2 before around four weeks; 700 products will be released after 710 (very rough stimation; if there are problems the release could be even postponed!).
I am aware that your question focuses strictly on the Active Directory, but anyway it was not still checked by SAP developers. Take into account that there are several changes in the authentication methods used and even some cryptographic protocols could not be available. This could make some of your applications to fail.
In particular, I am aware of a case that, after upgrading the Domain Controllers to Windows Server 2008 R2, the SSO (SPnego) stopped working due to the fact that the DES encryption protocol was no longer available, and so Kerberos was not supported. In fact, if you check [note 994791|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/994791], you will discover that the current SPNego Wizard utilized by SAP was tested using the following Windows Kerberos Environments:
    o Microsoft Windows Server 2000 Active Directory
    o Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Active Directory
    o Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Active Directory
But not Windows Server 2008 R2 Active Directory, that is a completely different AD (as Windows Server 2008 R2 is an operating system that is completely different from Windows Server 2008, even though the name seems to be confusingly indicating otherwise).
As a summary, depending on your configuration, your applications could even stop working if you upgrade your Active Directory before it is released.
Cheers!!

Hi,
We have installed iFilter 9 on our database server (windows 2008 x64 SP2) with SQL2005 and we would like to search pdf files loaded into

iFilter was configured according to the http://www.adobe.com/special/acrobat/configuring_pdf_ifilter_for_ms_sql_server_2005.pdf
Acrobat isn't installed.
We're getting the following errors on the Full-Text Search crawl log when we rebuild the Full Text Catalog and can't search pdf files:

Is there any documentation concerning Contribute and Windows 2008 x64

I have the impression that it may not be posssible to use

Has anyone had any luck?

Hi PREM,
If I understand correctly, you want to use SQL Server Authentication log to SQL Server Integration Services.
Based on my research, only Microsoft Windows Authentication is available for SSIS. So we cannot use SQL Server Authentication log to SQL Server Integration Services. Besides, we can only add OS users in the DCOM Config permission area.
Reference:
Connect to Server (Integration Services)

Can we run domain controller windows 2008 32 bit and additional domain controller on 2003 server

im my environment we are trying to upgrade from server 2k3 to 2k8, out testing done on server 2k3 to 2k8, but can we run domain controller windows 2008 32 bit and additional domain controller on 2003 server ...kindly suggest
Nitin Gaurav
[email protected]

Yes you can. If you have two 2003 AD servers currently and upgrade one of them to 2008 AD then they'll continue to be able to work together. The domains functional level will remain as 2003 across both servers so at this stage you won't get any benefit from
the new AD functionality available in 2008.
Once you've then upgraded the second 2003 server to 2008 you can then upgrade the functionality levels in AD to make it 2008. It's been a while, but I believe it doesn't happen automatically, so once all AD servers have been upgraded you have to go into
AD and upgrade the functionality levels yourself.

procedure is
a) copy the inf file and the sys file to the desktop
b) go to add hardware wizard
c) select "yes, i have already selected the hardware" option
d) click next -> under add hardware wizard, please select "add new hardware device " ( at the bottom of the options )
e) click next --> and check the option "install hardware that i manually select from list "
f) click next --> and select "show all devices "
g) click next --> click have disk and point to your inf file which should install the ramdisk driver to corresponding location
the above procedure holds good for windows 2008 and vista

Oracle 10gR2 LARGE PAGE SIZE on Windows 2008 x64 SP2

Hello Oracle Experts,
What are the advantages of Large Page Size and how would I know when my DB will benefit from Large Page Sizes?
My undeqrstanding is on Windows x64 – 8kb default page size – will now be 2 MB. Will this speed up accesses to buffer cache? If so is there a latch wait that I can monitor before vs. after to verify that large page size has improved performance?
My Database server has 256GB RAM and SGA is set to 180GB. I am quite sure the overhead involved in maintaining a large number of 8kb allocations (as opposed to 2MB) must be high - how can i monitor this?
I am planning to follow the procedure here:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/html/B13831_01/ap_64bit.htm#CHDGFJJD
The DB is for SAP on a 8CPU/48 core IBM x3950. For some reason SAP documentation does not mention anything about this registry setting or even if Large Page Size is supported in the SAP world.
Part 2 : I notice that more recent Oracle patch sets (example 25) turn NUMA OFF by default. Why is this and what is the impact of disabling NUMA on a system like x3950 (which is a NUMA based server)?
My understanding is Oracle would no longer know that some memory is Local (and therefore fast) and some memory is Remote (therefore slow). Overall I am guessing this could cause a real performance issue on this DB.
-points for detailed reply!
thanks a lot -

Hello
Thanks for your reply. I am very interested to hear further about the limitations of Windows 2008 and the benefits of Oracle Linux.
Generally we find that Windows 2008 has been pretty good, a big improvement over Windows 2003 (bluescreens don't occur ever etc)
Can you advise further about Large Page Size for the buffer cache? I assume this applies on both Windows and Linux (I am guessing there is a similiar parameter for 10gR2 on Linux).
SAP have not yet fully supported Oracle 11g so this is why 11g has not made it into the SAP world yet.
Can you also please advise about NUMA? regardless of whether we run Linux or Windows this setting needs to be considered.
Thanks

Running Oracle on Windows 2008 R2 64-bits and WCF

I'm trying to deploy to a Windows 2008 R2 64-Bits server running AppFabric a WCF 4.0 service that connects to an Oracle 10gR2 database. On my Windows 7 64-Bits, inside Visual Studio 2010, everything goes well. I first started using Oracle ODP.NET and, on deploy, I started getting the:
System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'Oracle.DataAccess, Version=2.112.2.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89b483f429c47342' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
File name: 'Oracle.DataAccess, Version=2.112.2.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89b483f429c47342'
I tried so many things, and nothing seemed to work, and since I'm kinna desperate to get this working, and went to OracleClient, despite the fact that it's marked as deprecated, just to get this working, and buy me time. I removed everything I had installed, but installed just the win64_11gR2_client.zip, with the runtime option. However, than I started getting:
System.DllNotFoundException: Unable to load DLL 'oramts.dll': The specified module could not be found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007E)
So I reinstalled the win64_11gR2_client.zip, adding the Oracle Services for Microsoft Transaction Server component. But then, whenever I made a call to my WCF service, IIS would crash with the error below:
Faulting application name: w3wp.exe, version: 7.5.7601.17514, time stamp: 0x4ce7afa2

If I tried to change the AppPool to enable 32-bits application, the WSDL doesn't even get generated, and I get the:
A process serving application pool 'MyAppPool' suffered a fatal communication error with the Windows Process Activation Service. The process id was '2856'. The data field contains the error number.
I'm lost, and I don't know what to do. How can it be this hard to do a "simple" and typical Oracle set up? What problem would I try to solve? Does anyone know of a blog post that would show how to correctly set this up? I tried looking, but coudln't find anything, and I'm sure I'm not the only one with this problem
Well, any help would be really appreciated. Tks so much

Supported on Win 2008 R2 64bit is only 10gR2( with patchset level 10.2.0.5) and 11gR2. Oracle support will refuse any assistance for earlier versions, that should you keep in mind. Although some people say client is not so critical as the database server.

Windows 2008 x64 TS Printing - The data area passed to a system call is too small

Hi,
I have a Windows 2008 TS using Easy Print. The server has two quad core cpu's with 16Gb of ram and is running a light processing accounting program for 80 users. The machine and easy print both work fine until the server reaches about 5Gb of memory in use. Once this happens user's documents stop printing with event id's 6161 The data area passed to a system call is too small being logged. None of the hotfixes seem to be applicable to my scenario as I am not getting the common "Access Denied" error. I have increased received and transmit buffer sizes on both NIC's to the 2048 maximum, and set the Sizreqbuf setting in the registry - to no avail.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
Thanks for the post.
The Event error 6161 is caused by one of the following conditions:
The printer is not reachable on the network
Windows cannot allocate sufficient memory
There was invalid or incomplete data received by the print spooler
A driver upgrade failed
There is a bad printer device driver
For more information, please refer to the following article:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc773865(WS.10).aspx
In this case, I assume that this issue may be caused by the insufficient memory.
In Event Viewer, examine the event and look for the following text: "Win32 error code returned by the print processor: 8. Not enough storage is available to process this command".
If so, please collect system information for 60 seconds and generate a System Diagnostics Report:
Open an elevated Command Prompt window. (Click Start, point to All Programs, click Accessories, right-click Command Prompt, and then click Run as administrator.)
At the command prompt, type perfmon /report and then press ENTER. Reliability and Performance Monitor will start collecting data to create the System Diagnostics Report.
When the report is ready for viewing, locate the Diagnostic Results section of the report, and then check for any warnings (indicated by Warnings in the report). You can follow links to additional help on resolving warnings from this section. In addition, you can expand each category in the Basic System Checks section to see more details about why warnings appear. Also, the Performance section provides process-level details about top consumers of resources. You might need to increase the size of the paging file or add physical memory.
Thanks,

Windows 2008 x64 comliance with failsafe

I have to install failsafe in a windows server 2008 x64 OS and after that an oracle db 10.2.0.x
From articles that I've read failsafe server 3.4.1.x (3.4.1.6 is the latest from what i've seen in metalink) is compatible with windows server 2008 x64 but not its failsafe manager.
From another article it says that the manager of failsafe server 3.4.2 is compatible with windows server 2008 x64 but i can't find anywhere that version (metaling, oracle, edelivery).
Has anyone got any idea which release of failsafe i need to install into my windows server 2008 x64 in order to have also the failsafe manager available and also where to find that release?
Thanks

I have spoken with Oracle support and they told me the download is not available yet but will be soon. This was as of 11/23/2009. We are trying to install the same version on windows 2008 64-bit.
Supposedly the 3.4.1.6 32-bit Oracle failsafe client manager will work with the Windows 2008 64-bit machine. I have tried to find the download on the web but it is not available yet. We shall see when they have it available.

Might be too late, but the problem is that IIS is pointing to the incorrect path. Should not be pointing to C:\Inetpub\wwwrooot\.... it should be pointing to Oracle\Middleware\EPMSystem11R1\products\DataRelationshipManagement\client\web-client same thing with the migration-client IIS app. To fix use the IIS Manager click the drm-web-client virtual directory and select "Advanced Settings" and update the "Physical Path" property.
