Server Side Load Balancing Testing

Hi,
Can any one tell me about any test case for server side load balancing in an 11.1.0.7 RAC?
I have a 2 nodes RAC with local_listener and remote_listener set properly (for server side load balancing). For testing, i have create a TNS at my client side which points to only one node of RAC (a single ADDRESS entry pointing to node 1 of my RAC). So, from this client, when ever i connect, it always connects me to the node 1 which i have mentioned in the TNS. Does it mean that server side load balancing works in conjunction with client side load balancing only and i should add ADDRESS entry in my TNS for the second node also? If yes, then how can i create a test case to check server side load balancing?
Thanks
Salman

Thanks Rajeysh but i already have seen these documents after "googling" about server side load balancing but these documents don't give my any idea for testing the server side load balancing. My goal is actually testing the following scenario
Creating a TNS entry to connect to a RAC database (with server side load balancing enabled) by using a single ADDRESS line in TNS which points to node1 to connect to service on node 1 (service_name is set to same value on all the nodes).
Now, if i invoke 10 SQLPLUS windows to connect to the RAC database using this TNS, it always connects me to instance 1 running on node 1, where is server side load automatic load balancing? Why new sessions are not being directed to some other instance and why every time i always connect to instance 1?

Enabling server-side load balancing with Oracle 10g RAC

Hi, all.
I created a RAC database on vmware by using DBCA.
By default, remote_listener and tnsname.ora have been configured.
The followings are part of dba_services from my RAC database.
NAME, GOAL, ENABLED, CBL_GOAL
SYS$BACKGROUND NONE NO SHORT
SYS$USERS NONE NO SHORT
DEVDB NO LONG
By default(created by DBCA), server-side load balancing is enabled for
the RAC database, DEVDB??
--> GOAL of DEVDB is null, but CBL_GOAL IS LONG.
After creating a RAC db by using "DBCA", do I need to do something
for server-side load balancing??
If so what I need to do?? How can I test it??
And what is beneficial in enabling server-side loadbalancing ??
Is it good in the real world??
Thanks for reading.
Best Regards.

Client side load balancing and server side load balancing

Hello Team,
I need to know how to set up client and server side load balancing in oracle rac. What all things to be implemented like creating a service, tnsnames.ora settings etc.
And also if i used SCAN ip instead of VIP. how the settings will change.

ARFC: Single Server and Load Balancing

Hi All,
I am trying to create aRFC model. In SAP logon screen, I can see two tab pages - Single Server and Load Balancing.
Can you please let me know when we have to use which tab?
Thanks
TG

Single Server Connect or Load Balancing connect is completely independend from the location where SAP Gui Client is installed.
Single Server connect means that your are directly connecting to an ABAP Server using hostname and systemnumber you have to provide.
Load Balancing Connect means that you specify the message server of the central instance of an ABAP Server group. The SAPGUI first connects to the message server which will provide the SAPGUI with the information about the best performing ABAP server. SAPGUI will then connect to this ABAP server.
Single Server is suitable for small landscapes with lets say less than 4 application servers. In huger configurations (and those which I know will grow to more than 3 servers)I would prefer to use logon groups - aka Load Balancing.

How to send communication message from application server to load balancer

Hi,
Environment: 8 application servers are clustered behind a load balancer. Java/J2EE based client-server application
When any one of the servers is supposed to go down, I want to send a message from that server, programmatically, to load balancer something which signifies "server is down or going down, do not forward any client connections to me". This is to avoid any CLOSE_WAITs.
How do I achieve this? How can I send message programmatically from app server to load balancer? From very basic knowledge, SNMP can be used for this. But do not know how to start of. Any other means is also OK. Need details.
Thanks
Sunil

At the same time we stop accepting any new connections [ServerSocket.accept() will be escaped during server shutdown].Just close the ServerSocket.
Both these are working fine. But during the 25 seconds, still the client connections gets queued up trying to find that serverNot if you close the ServerSocket.
reason being the load balancer is still forwarding requests to this server whose shutdown has started but not completed. So CLOSE_WAITS happen.Not if you close the ServerSocket. Not that the CLOSE_WAITS are the actual problem, as they will all disappear when the server exits. It's more that the clients shouldn't have been able to create the connection in the first place. Which wouldn't have happened if you had closed the ServerSocket.
If we tell load balancer not to send any more client socket connections, then we completely avoid getting CLOSE_WAITS.If you close the ServerSocket ditto.

"RABAX" occurs on server side error while testing asynchoronous web service

I got error while testing asynchronous web service in WS navigator. I have created asynchronouse web service using RFC. Then I configured it in SOAMANAGER. When I tested it, got error "RABAX occurs on server side". Also I got dump in ST22. It is 'UNCHAUGHT_EXCEPTION - CX_SOAP_SEQ_SCD_ERROR'.
I have tested for synchronous web service it works fine. I found a difference in both web service WSDL file for below parameters value -
commit
blocking
transaction
wsrm
I tried different way .. but no solution .. Plz suggest if someone have any idea.....Its very helpfull....

your problem:
Missing class: oracle.tip.adapter.jms.JmsManagedConnectionFactory
Dependent class: oracle.tip.adapter.fw.wsdl.WSDLUtils
Loader: oracle.bpel.common:10.1.3
Code-Source: /oraclesoa/oraclesoa/product/10.1.3.1/OracleAS_1/bpel/lib/orabpel.jar
Configuration: <code-source> in /oraclesoa/oraclesoa/product/10.1.3.1/OracleAS_1/j2ee/home/config/server.xml
It happens when server is custom installed, try to reinstall it as full version and problem should disappear otherwise your need another full installation to retrieve and replace orabpel.jar file from (or maybe more)

Load balancing testing.

Hi Gurus,
For load balancing purpose we have installed sap in one more box (crm
quality system). now i need to test whether load balancing is
happening or not in below scenarios..
1.) Test the Load balancing on the C.I and D.I.
2.) Take Multiple Logins and compare the Load Balancing
3.) Maintain the Variation of Job such as on-line process and background.
4.) Monitor the Login System for each Variation
So first i tested the transaction codes like sm04, and smlg and checked with users and how much bytes they are occuping i have tested.
please give me your inputs in which way i could test it better and what are all the various aspects??
Thanks
Sahad

HI ,
For load balancing you can check the load on the Ci and DI .
Just goto SM51 ,there you shall see the CI and the DI there.double click on the ci.
Now run St02 and st03n and St06 and check the performance.
Do the same for the Application Server.
I shall suggest that if you have more application server Just Remove the CI from the logon load balancing to have better performance.
for more details go through this Link to check logon load balancing at os level

Use message server as load balancing instead of web dispacher for XI in HA

Hi all!
    We are currently upgrading a cluster XI installation from 3.0 to 7.0.
    The idea is:
          Now:    1 node (central instance)
                     1 node (database)
          Future: 1 node (central instance)
                     1 node (database + application instance)
     So we need some king of load balancing between the two instances.
     We already know web dispatcher and all configuration required. However we
were trying not to use it but use the abap/java message server who can also do
the redirect.
     However, once the Exchange Profile has been updated, it does not work.
     If we change "com.sap.aii.connect.repository.httpport" to "8101". Cache refresh stop working with a "Authorization Error". This is really strange because if I try the very same URL in the explorer and I enter the logon data, I have no problem.
     Do you have any experience with this? I mean, is it possible to avoid installing web dispatcher?
     Thanks and kind regards,
           Encinas.

Hi David,
the message server does only a redirect and some XI applications (JAVA and ABAP side) cannot handle the redirect URL.
Therefore in the XI environment you have to use a "real" dispatcher (keeping the session and forwarding the session, instead of redirect) - for example you can use the SAP WebDispatcher here.
Best regards,
Silvia

Accessing individual server in load-balanced cluster not working as expected

We have a cluster set up with multiple managed servers and hardware load
          balancers sitting in front to direct traffic. We have the frontend host
          configured to be the dns name of the single URL for the cluster, which maps
          to the IP address that the load balancers balance. When accessing part of
          our site (a WebLogic portal) at
          http://server1/portalApp/appmanager/portal/desktop
          (where server1 is the name of one of the managed servers)
          the portal performs a redirect to the login page at
          /portalApp/appmanager/portal/desktop?_nfbp=true&_pageLabel=login_page.
          The URL that results in the browser is not what I would expect, which would be
          http://server1/portalApp/...
          Instead, it is
          http://cluster/portalApp/...
          where cluster is the frontend host setting. Is there any way to avoid
          this, so we can perform directed testing on specific managed servers?
          Thanks,
          Andy


Hi Maria, thanks for your help! I wrote a simple test jsp that does a
          redirect if a parameter is set, otherwise it doesn't do anything. When I
          accessed the jsp at server1/app/test.jsp?a=true, something (I assume
          either WebLogic or the load balancer) rewrote the URL after the redirect
          (the redirect was to /app/test.jsp). The URL that appears in the browser
          after the redirect is cluster/app/test.jsp. Do you know if this happens
          because of WebLogic or the load balancer? Our load balancers are Cisco
          11503's I believe.
          Do you think it would make any difference if I leave the frontend host
          for the cluster to be the dns name of the cluster, and then if I set the
          frontend host for each server to be the dns name of that specific server?
          Currently each server does not have any value entered for frontend host.
          Thanks!

Installing 2 Application server and 1 DB server and load balancing for 11i

Hi,
I need info on how to install and configure load balancing for 11.5.8 on Win2000. The scenario: 1 db server DB, 2 apps/web/forms servers AP1 and AP2. Using rapid install you can only specify one db server A and one form server in multi node installations, right? How do I install the form server on AP2? Can I use the same config.txt? The computer name for AP2 is different.
Thanks & Regards,
Jagal

I have the very same issue. We want to install 4 web/form servers on a hardware load-balancer and the issue is we can only specify one forms server.
Does anyone know the secret bullet here?
Thanks

Mediation server DNS load balancing with Avaya IP-PBX

Dear team,
There's a customer having a total Avaya Solution as their PABX solution. Also, the client does have Lync Server 2010 Enterprise environment with 2x FE servers (Mediation Service collocated)
and is looking for the option of integrating the Lync with their Avaya using 'Avaya CM SIP Enablement Services' which is mentioned in the 'Supported lP-PBX' list.
In terms of load balancing, currently, I have the 2 FE servers in the pool collocated with mediation role under DNS load balancing. I would like to know whether
it is possible to have the integration in such a load balancing way from Lync's point, without having to use a standalone or HLB device?
*Want to know if one FE goes down, the mediation services will be used the second FE server
by the Avaya system?*
Thank you,
Cheers..

HI
Multiple mediation servers connecting to the same PSTN gateway or SIP trunk required redundant DNS A records pointing to the same IP to fool the Topology Builder. Lync 2013 supports M-N
trunk routing. This allows for multiple trunks pointing to different gateways as well as for gateways with multiple trunks for different Mediation Servers.
After First Server will went down it might take some to go Second Server.

BOXI R3.1 app Load balancing test

Hi,
I have a VS2008 app that is using CR2008 to display report in web app. The reports are being published using BOXI R3.1.
As a stress test I am required to test this application simulating use of app by 50 user. In other words i want to gather statistics on BOXI load balancing. Is there a way to do that? In my application since response from BOXI is hooked to CR2008 using infoObject.
Thanks
