Separation of DB host

Hello Frnds,
I have a solution Manager installed on a physical server with CI and DB on the same host. [ Windows]
Now we are planning to separate the DB to a new host [Linux].
The DB instance has been created on that host.
So in order for it to start Functioning properly, what all changes [where all] needs to be done on CI ?
Please let me know if anyone has already performed such separation.
Also suggest me if you guys know?
Thanks,

Hi,
In configtool,
Under secure store --> change admin/host/<SID> to the corresponding new value. If you have changed the hostname of the database as well, correct also the jdbc/pool/<SID>/Url value.
Instance_IDXXXX -> Dispatcher_IDXXX -> managers -> Cluster Manager. Change ms.host property so that it points to the new hostname. Perform the same for the server node.
Go to instance -> dispatcher -> Locking manager and change enqu.host to point to the new hostname. If you have changed the profile names modify also the enq.profile.filename accordingly.Perform the same steps for the server node.
Choose Instance_IDXXX on the tree on the left side and change Message server host parameter to the new value.
Hope it helps..
Regards
Suresh

Hoping for a little help with registering and hosting questions.

i was hoping i could get some information from some of you
that have personal experience with registering your site and
picking a hosting provider.
im wondering what the difference is between say....Dot5
hosting at 5.00 a month and .. network solutions at 29.99 a month?
my local provider here in sacramento wants 30 a month as
well......299.oo a yr.
should I go with a local provider? or go with ... say GoDaddy
or some other company?
also, registering. Im about to register my site name.
however, some companies include it in the "packages" they offer.
should I register it myself or let the hosting company I choose do
it?
sorry for the newb questions....but I cant find any good info
on this and I was hoping maybe some of you that have already done
this to chime in.
thanks in advance.

If you want almost all of the below features for about $9.00
a month go to
Gate.com and pick your package. I use them for several web
sites and have
never been dissatisfied with their services or features.
They will register your domain and I've done it both ways,
but have never
had problems with them but it does make a lot of sense to
register it
yourself and keep full ownership....

Purpose of having central adapter engine

What is the purpose of having Centeral Adapter Engine when any WAS 6.40 has an adapter engine that can communicate de-centrally with the IS?
Regards
chandrakanth.K

Hi Chandra,
The Adapter Engine is a separate software or software component that is automatically installed on the Integration Server. In this case, we will call it as central Adapter Engine. You can also install the Adapter Engine separately on another host. This is then a non-central Adapter Engine.
By installing the adapter engine centrally on Integration Server, all the components like adapter engine, integration engine, mapping runtime etc will be at single place which increases the preformance.
In the case of non central adapter engine, where we will install the adapter engine at another system(may be in another place) which decrease your total server performance.
thanks,
madhu

PI 7.0 Adapter Engine

Hi,
I'm installing and configuring SAP Netweaver 7.0 usage type PI. We are in High Availability environment: 2 nodes in HA for PI (node1 there is central instance and node 2 dialog instance) and 2 node in HA for Oracle DB. Now we have noticed that the adapter engines are NON Central Adapter Engine but we don't want this. We would Central Adapter Engine. How can I transform NON CENTRAL in CENTRAL ADAPTER ENGINE???

Hi
The Adapter Engine is a separate software component that is automatically installed on the Integration Server. In this case, it is the central Adapter Engine. However, you can also install the Adapter Engine separately on another host. This is then a non-central Adapter Engine.
How you installed? Well non - central Adapter Engine all adapter behave standalone. I think you have to install again.
Did you checked with the following

Adapter Engine: Performance Monitoring?

Dear Experts
I am assessing the PI 7.1 Advanced Adapter Engine and execute a Performance Test against a standard
scenario using the Adapter Engine processing.
I would like to understand and see the 'performance boost', mentioned by SAP, but I am not able to find
a tool which gives me this view on performance (e.g. message processing time) in the Adapter Engine.
The Runtime Workbench tab 'Performance Monitoring' seems to be limited to the ABAP Integration Server.
Is there any settings I can use to get this view? Or is there any other metric which could be used to
validate the actual performance improvement by the AAE?
Thanks for you ideas.
Mathias.

Hi,
You use the Advanced Adapter Engine to connect the Integration Engine to SAP systems (RFC adapter) and non-SAP systems. You use the various adapters in the Adapter Engine to convert XML- and HTTP-based messages to the specific protocol and format required by these systems, and the other way around.
Using Integrated Configuration you can define a local Message Processing on the Advanced Adapter Engine. The Advanced Adapter Engine provides mapping and routing for this locally. Message Processing is only executed on the Advanced Adapter Engine from one adapter to another without the involvement of the Integration Engine. You can gain a great improvement in performance.
You can implement all adapters on the Adapter Engine for a local Message Processing on the Advanced Adapter Engine, apart from the RNIF adapters and the CIDX adapters.
If you do not use Integrated Configuration, Message Processing will always be performed by the Integration Engine to execute the routing and mapping there.
The Advanced Adapter Engine is a separate software component that is automatically installed on the Integration Server. In this case, it is the central Advanced Adapter Engine. However, you can also install the Advanced Adapter Engine separately on another host. This is then a non-central Advanced Adapter Engine.
Please reward points if it helps

Adapter engine in CC

we chooose adapter engine as ntegration server in PI 7.0 and we go with adapter engine as central adapter engine in PI 7.1..
is this b cos 7.1 has advanced adapter engine?
can u pls clarify?

Hi Ravindra,
Advanced Adapter Engine:
   Advanced Adapter engine is just a normal adapter engine but in PI7.1 terminology.SAP named it so,because of the additional features that have been added to Adapter engine PI7.1 .
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi71/helpdata/EN/8f/d906d01f77fa40a4c84683c3f8326f/content.htm
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/EN/8f/d906d01f77fa40a4c84683c3f8326f/content.htm
    and as far as the Central adapter engine is concerned ,The Adapter Engine is a separate software component that is automatically installed on the Integration Server. In this case, it is the central Adapter Engine. However, you can also install the Adapter Engine separately on another host. This is then a non-central Adapter Engine.
        So Advanced Adapter engine has nothing to do with the Central Adapter engine that you saw in file to file scenario article which is based on PI7.1 Even Advanced Adapter engine is also a very interesting feature introduced in PI7.1 so that Adapter engine it self does some Integration Engine functions.If you find time listen to the webinar recorded session on AAE (Advanced Adapter Engine).

Lync 2013: SQL instance - Shared or Not Shared !?

I'll keep this straight to the point... I'm implementing Lync 2013 at my company and we stumbled on one SQL Cluster situation that's causing some questions on the DBA team.
So the situation is....
Background:
We currently have a two node SQL 2008 R2 (SP2) Cluster with two instances in it that are shared for other applications.
Question:
Is it recommended by Microsoft (or any Lync Expert at all) to use one of these instances for Lync 2013 databases, or should it be a separated instance to host Lync 2013 Databases?
Note: If to be created the new instance, that instance will be living in the same cluster.
Thank you all in advance for comments on this.

Thanks to both for the replies. It does help me thinking about the subject.
I've meanwhile opened an advisory case with MS to check what they say about it. (I'm posting the results afterwards of course to share their advice)
I agree with both of you, and in fact I don't really like the idea of having a shared instance for Lync 2013 with other products (specially one of them that's in there that is Sharepoint 2013). I'm quite curious on knowing how will the instance behave once
Sharepoint 2013 decides to "eat up" all the resources...
I think that having the separated instance adds at least 2 very good (and important values) that is:
1 - Security (at the instance level.. no unwanted sysadmin's - we have persistent chat by some God forsaken reason... though I don't like the idea that a DBA with the right knowledge to read our C*O's chat's going around...)
2 - Resource assignment control (better memory control, possibility of "shifting" the instance to another place if necessary + if someone "brings down" the shared instance for any reason, lync can continue to function)
The IO concern regarding lots of SQLServer.exe running around, it's also a valid concern in my opinion, though at IO level is basically the same story because what matters is the DB file read-write operations that are ongoing and that will consume the same
resources either you're in a dedicated instance or separated one...
Still our DBA brings up the fact that we need to use a shared instance for everything and he wants me to put Lync all together with the other DB's (Sharepoint 2013 included...).
What are your thoughts about this?
Thanks once again for your time and comments.

Develop a command-line application using LabVIEW

Hi,
Is it possible to generate a command line(CLI) executable using LabVIEW? This CLI exe will be called with certain command line arguments by another application (written in Visual Basic). The LabVIEW Run time engine can be installed separately on the host PC.
Thanks for your help
Siddharth
Solved!
Go to Solution.

There is an example that ships with LabVIEW that shows how to read the command line arguements from an application. THe name of the VI is CommandLine.vi. It is extremely basic though. The power of command line arguements really comes from how you define and parse them. I recommend allowing your command line arguements to be order independent and that they require a label. For comand lines I prefer to use a single letter for the label. Full words are nice but then your command line gets very long. For the applications that we write we allow both the '/' (DOS/Windows style) and the '-' (Unix/Linux style) to designate a command line label.

Script issue,Java install from script, push out to servers.

this is a non standard install for Java that has to be installed from a script. basically this script will run against a given amount of servers, stop the required services ( pertains to the application that requires Java on the server), uninstall
java, install java, configure java with correct parameters and security permissions then lastly output a log file to the server that is running the script (folder) of each server . each server will have thier own text file. so two issues first
java uninstalls but does not install due to a permissions error, and the other issue that is occuring is there should be a log file for each server the
log file will have the server name as the file namey, the script will look at the server list and run the code on that server so basically the script
will run at the same time on all the servers, and create log file for each server and put in the folder i designate. - this is not occuring based on the Powershell script below. what parameter is missing below. thanks

Hi Gow,
I would like to know how did you deploy the .ps1 script on remote computers like using task scheduler or something else, please make sure the user account you used to run this script on every server has enough permission.
According to your script, it will produce a log file under "D:\Temp\" and this file will be copied to the destination
\\wsive005pap\d$\BatchFiles\Java_Update\, please check the username and the password, and also make sure the folder exist before copy, then test the script below separately:

Adapter framework

Hi all,
Is there any blog that explains about adapter framework and adapter engine. If not, can someone please briefly explain me about adapter engine and the architecture? I have read the help.sap links. But still not clear.

Hi Aarthi ,
These r the details regarding Adapter Framework & Adapter Engine.
Adapter Framework :
It is a part of the Adapter Engine, which provides interfaces for configuring, managing, and monitoring adapters.SAP XI requires an adapter framework to communicate outside of the SAP system. These adapters translate code from external applications to an XML message for NetWeaver processes using the Java Connector Architecture.Adapter framework (JCA )based integrate application systems and business partners via resource adapters.
SAP XI provides a set of adapters to connect SAP as well as non-SAP applications with each other and thus to enable them to participate in the exchange of XML messages. An adapter is required to connect other applications or technical systems, or to participate in B2B communication via specific industry standards like RosettaNet. SAP provides certain adapters for use with SAP Exchange Infrastructure, and relies on an ecosystem of partners to provide adapters for other applications or industry standards. These partner adapters are sold and delivered through SAP.
The SAP Partner Connectivity Kit (PCK) enables smaller companies that do not dispose of an SAP XI installation to connect to SAP XI.
Customers and partners can also develop their own adapters for SAP XI. To do this, they can use the Adapter Framework in the Partner Connectivity Kit (PCK) and refer to the detailed documentation on adapter development. For more information, see SAP XI 3.0 Online documentation under SAP XI: Runtime → Connectivity → Partner Connectivity Kit → Adapter Development.
Overview of Adapters for SAP XI 3.0
Application Adapters
Technical Adapters
Industry Standard Adapters
Mainframe/Transaction Adapters
Note: All adapters are available from SAP XI 3.0 onwards.
Adapter Framework provides common functionality for Adapter
Engine and SAP Partner Connectivity Kit
Adapter Framework is based on SAP J2EE Engine as part of SAP Web AS.
Adapter Framework inherits properties and features such as scalability, clustering, high availability, thread management, etc.Adapter Framework provides its own queuing and logging services.Temporary stand-alone operation without connection to an Integration Server is possible, while still providing e. g. guaranteed exactly once messaging to and from connected application system
Adapter Framework supports J2EE Connector Architecture (JCA)
JCA is standard architecture for connecting the J2EE platform to
Enterprise Information Systems (EIS), e. g. ERP, DBMS, etc.
A Resource Adapter plugs into an application server, providing
connectivity between the EIS and a Java application
JCA enabled Adapter Framework provides defined interfaces to
which both our adapters and 3rd party adapters can conform
JCA is a widely accepted standard that 3rd party adapter providers
are familiar with
Details about architecture of adapter, types of adapter.. can be found at the following web-sites :

You use the Adapter Engine to connect the Integration Engine to SAP systems (RFC adapter) and external systems. You use the various adapters in the Adapter Engine to convert XML- and HTTP-based messages to the specific protocol and format required by these systems, and the other way around.
The Adapter Engine is based on the adapter framework.
The Adapter Engine is a separate software component that is automatically installed on the Integration Server. In this case, it is the central Adapter Engine. However, you can also install the Adapter Engine separately on another host. This is then a non-central Adapter Engine.
The XI Adapter engine is the home of the majority of the XI adapters. Only the IDoc adapter and the plain HTTP adapter do not reside on the adapter engine. They reside on the Integration Server.
It is fully integrated in to the XI landscape with tools provided for configuration, logistics and monitoring. It's Adapter Framework is based on the JCA

HOWTO: Install Arch for Newbies

Hello,
Yesterday was my fist installation of Arch and i've found that the informations are not very well combined for a newbie/new to arch, am not newbie to linux but am new to arch so i've spend quite time to figure out some things or to know some links, due to this fact i've decided to write an easy guide that combine the whole installation from Downloading Till getting an up & running Arch with Gnome
the HOWTO can be found here please i need your opinions/corrections so we can make it as easy as installing ubuntu for newbies

Try my gdm.conf, it's an unchanged one, and normally it would work
# GDM Configuration file. You can use gdmsetup program to graphically
# edit this, or you can optionally just edit this file by hand. Note that
# gdmsetup does not tweak every option here, just the ones most users
# would care about. Rest is for special setups and distro specific
# tweaks. If you edit this file, you should send the HUP or USR1 signal to
# the daemon so that it restarts: (Assuming you have not changed PidFile)
# kill -USR1 `cat /var/run/gdm.pid`
# (HUP will make gdm restart immediately while USR1 will make gdm not kill
# existing sessions and will only restart gdm after all users log out)
# You can also use the gdm-restart and gdm-safe-restart scripts which just
# do the above for you.

Java Install from hell

While I was easily able to install the latest Java for my 64 Bit browser (IE9), such isn't the case with my 32 bit one. Instead of installing Java 7 U13 or the aforementioned, it demands to know where an earlier install MSI file is located and even if the named file is chosen, it states that it isn't the file that is needed. I have removed ( and even tried reinstalling older) versions of Java, flushed bmy browser chace and even scanned my registry but it is always the same error. Any suggestions for repairin g the matter?
It is seeking jre 7.0.09-c.msi but even when that is chosen, it says that it isn't what is needed to install 7.0.11... even if the install is for 7.0.13....
I captured the error screen output but couldn't find any place to upload the pngs

Hi Gow,
I would like to know how did you deploy the .ps1 script on remote computers like using task scheduler or something else, please make sure the user account you used to run this script on every server has enough permission.
According to your script, it will produce a log file under "D:\Temp\" and this file will be copied to the destination
\\wsive005pap\d$\BatchFiles\Java_Update\, please check the username and the password, and also make sure the folder exist before copy, then test the script below separately:
$user = Read-Host 'Username:'
$pass = Read-Host 'Password:'
$result = "D:\Temp\" + $env:COMPUTERNAME +"_JavaUpdate.log"
$copyfinal = "\\wsive005pap\d$\BatchFiles\Java_Update\"
Get-Content "D:\APPS\NuanceCSB\logs\stdout.log" | Out-File $result -append
Get-Content "D:\APPS\NuanceCSB\logs\CSB.log" | Out-File $result -append
NET USE \\wsive005pap\d$ $pass /user:CORP\$user
get-item \\wsive005pap\d$\BatchFiles\Java_Update\
Copy-Item $result $copyfinal
NET USE \\wsive005pap\d$ /delete
If there is anything else regarding this issue, please feel free to post back.

Third Party Adapters

How does Adapter Engine communicate with IS and How to select third party adapters in Adapter Engine

Hi srinu..
from help i could gather some information for u...
Adapter Engine
Purpose
You use the Adapter Engine to connect the Integration Engine to SAP systems (RFC adapter) and external systems. You use the various adapters in the Adapter Engine to convert XML and HTTP-based messages to the specific protocol and format required by these systems, and the other way around.
Implementation Considerations
The Adapter Engine is based on the adapter framework. The adapter framework is based on the SAP J2EE Engine (as part of the SAP Web Application Server) and the J2EE Connector Architecture (JCA). The adapter framework provides interfaces for configuration, management, and monitoring of adapters.
The adapter framework has its own queuing and logging services. This means that you can run the Adapter Engine temporarily without a connection to the Integration Server.
The Adapter Engine is a separate software component that is automatically installed on the Integration Server. In this case, it is the central Adapter Engine. However, you can also install the Adapter Engine separately on another host. It is then a non-central Adapter Engine.
Integration
You configure the adapters in the configuration part of theIntegration Builder. You define the parameters of the respective adapter during thedefinition of collaboration profiles in thecommunication channel. It is possible to define generic modules for each adapter in the module processor to equip the adapter with additional functions.
It is possible to integrate customer adapters into the Adapter Engine. See also: Adapter Development.
Features
The Adapter Engine provides adapters, which you use to do the following, depending on their configuration:
·        Communicate with SAP R/3 systems using the RFC interface (RFC adapter)
·        Enable data exchange with the SAP Business Connector (SAP Business Connector adapter)
·        Exchange data with external systems using a file interface or an FTP server (file/FTP adapter)
·        Access databases using JDBC (JDBC adapter)
·        Communicate with messaging systems using the JMS API (JMS adapter)
·        Integrate remote clients or Web Service providers using the SOAP adapter (SOAP adapter)
·        Connect marketplaces to the Integration Engine (Marketplace adapter)
·        Connect e-mail servers to the Integration Engine (mail adapter)
·        Communicate with systems that support the RosettaNet standard (RNIF adapter)
·        The CIDX adapter supports Chem eStandards, an open standard for business-to-business data exchange in the chemical industry.
·        The XI adapter is used for communication between Integration Servers and with the PCK.
In the adapter configuration, you specify whether an adapter is to be located at the inbound channel (sender adapter) or at the outbound channel (receiver adapter) of an Integration Engine.
Receiver adapters support system acknowledgments but not application acknowledgments.
hope it is usefull..
cheers,
Raghavesh

DMZ VMWWare server connection to inside network security risk

Hi,
We are thinking to connect DMZ host ( VM Servers) directly to inside network by putting them into L2 vlan. Waht are pros and cons by doing this way? Appreciate your help.
Thanks

Thanks Julio and Andrew for your comments.
Physicial connections will be as follows;
From DMZ Host ( VM Server) -- One connection to Internal Core Switch (6509) which will be for DMZ configured as a access port on dmz vlan.
--- One connection Internal Core Switch (6509) which will be for production network configured on production vlan.
Basically moving away from physical separation of DMZ host to utilize the VM servers effectively for DMZ and production. We have to maintain both firewall and network. Except the human error what are the possible risk on this?

Separation of DB host
