Timout configuration for WLS 5.1

Hi all,
We're running Tomcat against WLS 5.1sp10.
We're trying to find out how to tune the timeout properties for the
different connections.
If we have a connection to our Oracle database, it will timeout and fail
after 300 seconds (5 minutes). However, when Tomcat connects to WLS, it has
a timeout of only 4 minutes.
We've discovered that if the connection gets dropped to WLS while it's
blocked talking to Oracle, then this "consumes" a connection to WLS, and if
it happens enough, WLS will get its Listener hammered and stop accepting any
kind of connection.
What we're hoping to do is prevent this by having Tomcat time out "later"
than Oracle, this would allow Oracle and WLS to fail "cleaner" than if
Tomcat fails first.
However, we can not find any place to adjust either the 4 minute timeout on
the client side or the 5 minute timeout on the server side.
We know that we can somewhat circumvent this by expanding the number of
Execute Threads, but I'm thinking that the timeout adjustment (as well as
ensuring that really stupid SQL doesn't happen in the first place, but
that's a different issue) is "better" than tweaking the Execute Threads
count.
Any help appreciated.
Thanx!

Hi.
trial license keys come with the server when you download it. It should
be good for 30 days. Try downloading the server again if your license
has expired, or contact sales for a license extension.

Using Basic or Multi-tier configuration for WLS Clusters...

Ok,
          The scenario is: I'm using WLS6.1 (hopefully, version doesn't matter here)
          with three instances clustered. Each instance provides all Services:
          Servlets / JSPs/ EJBs / Database communication... I'm using the Basic
          configuration described on the BEA documentation....
          Now, I want to move forward to a Multi-tier configuration, where the first
          layer will serve Servlets and JSPs and the second layer will serve EJBs.
          The problem: On the first scenario, I was looking EJBs with the Default
          InitialContext() constructor without the environment, since everybody was on
          the same JVM...
          What do I have to do, so my Servlets start looking for EJBs on the second
          cluster now? Do I have to re-write every single lookup? Can I use a
          jndi.properties file on the first layer - on the presentation tier?
          Thanks in Advance,
          Marcelo.


          Thanks Patrick!
          But my actual problem starts here. The Servlets aren't mine. We have to support
          applications which run atop our product(which is a bunch of beans+RMI Objects
          running on the top of WLS) in a backward compatible way with a standalone.
          Will try and make a post if I can find a 'configurable' way out.

How can I list all the domains configured for Weblogic Servers?

How can I list all the domains configured for Weblogic Servers?
I saw a note, which says the following:
"WebLogic Server does not support multi-domain interaction using either the Administration Console, the weblogic.Admin utility, or WebLogic Ant tasks. This restriction does not, however, explicitly preclude a user written Java application from accessing multiple domains simultaneously."
In my case, I just want to list all the domains, is that possible by using any scripts?
Thanks
AJ

If you use WLS Node Manager and the Config Wizard was used to create the domains, then the list of domains should be in a location like this:
<MIDDLEWARE_HOME>\wlserver_10.3\common\nodemanager\nodemanager.domains
Enterprise Manager Grid Control also has support for multi-domain management of WLS in a console.

JMS Queue configuration on WLS

Dear Experts,
I have a "Forward Delay" configuration for queues on WLS. I need to change it. What other configuration do I choose? What are the advantages and disadvantages of the configuration you are suggesting compared to "Forward Delay" ? And sorry for the last question can I find the documentation on web ?
Thanks,
Mike
Edited by: Mike.Di on 13-ott-2010 6.54

Hello Mike,
what I should looking for in logs?You may find text like "Managed server mngd_server_name has been suspended or shutdown" or "Removing mngd_server_name+id from cluster view due to timeout" or "Adding <mngd_server_name> with ID <ID> to cluster: <cluster_name> view". If you see these log occurences frequently in the servers logs in spite of particular managed server being up and running, then it may be an issue. Oracle Support may analyze your environment and settings in a better way and hence they may provide better support for your issue.

Pete,
if you have a single OSB proxy service, and you specifiy the JNDI name of the distributed queue and not the specific member destination, you will get consumers on a single member of the distributed destination only.Perhaps you and me have different experience. I have worked with OSB versions 10.3, 10.3.1 and 11.1.1.3.0 but I never saw such issue. Even we read messages from distrbuted destinations lying on same JVM as well as on different JVM but each time I had consumers on all physical queues.
Yes, suppose if one server goes down in the cluster then all the consumers of the physical queue which is deployed on that server, will get pinned to other physical queues and even after sometime if that server comse up again, no consumers will automatically get attached to the new member. For newly added member to have consumers on it, either client application has to be redeployed or server restart is necessary.
In another scenario, where client application gets deployed first and then the weblogic servers are started, definitely all the consumers will get attached to one physical queue.
Most important part is connection factory configuration. Server Affinity should remain disabled and load balancing should be enabled for proper distrbution of consumers and producers. If you enable the server affinity in the connection factory then also proper distribution may not happen and consumers/producers may get attached to one physical queue.
So there are different cases and different configurations when problem may be same but reason would be different, so to find out the exact reason we have to check for all the possible causes.

Anuj

Authentication problem by external ldap server for WLS 7.0

Hi all,
I have configured iPlanet directory Server to serve as authentication security
provider for WLS 7.0.While doing so I have created a Test security realm and made
it as default.I have also configured the other default settings for the remaining
security providers for the realm.
Now, while I start the WLS with the default username and password, boot-error
comes as given below. As a matter of fact I have also created groups with relevant
username and pwd in the ldap server as specified bu the Bea documentation.
I have tried to remove the problem since last 4 days but all in fiasco.
If anybody has any pointer to the problem - it will be a great help.

Thanks Vijay - it has worked by creating the Administrator group in LDAP but Weblogic
documentation also states the creation of any group in Ldap server with the boot
username and pwd and then adding the group in the admin role of WLS7.0 - but this
did not work.
If there is any info regarding the same - pl. do let me know

I think WebLogic 7 requires a group called "Administrators" in the LDAP
server
and requires an user to be added to that group. I have this working in
one of
my projects. The group really doesnt need to be an LDAP administrative
group.
Can you provide any additional information. I might be able to help since
I got
this working only a coupla days back.

Durable subscriber configured for the topic - reconnect policy

Hi,
we have Durable subscriber configured for the topic. When ever the managed server associated with the Topic is restarted, we have to restart subscriber to receive the messages again.
we did tried using the reconnect policy to all , still we have same issue, could you please provide your suggestions.
Susbcriber is not throwing the connect exception as well,when ever the managed server goes down also.
thanks
ARun

I would suggest, if you have done so, that you set an Exception listener on the connection, or on the session using WLS extension interface, so that your client will get Exception on server failure and refresh the JMS objects (connection/session/subscriber).

SAP DMS - How to do an external DMS configuration for the existing system ?

Hi All.
Greetings.
Request help and understanding.
Am new to the world of SAP. And request SOME clarity for understanding of DMS.
We are wanting to put an external DMS server and wish to configure for the same.
So that the load on the production SAP R/3 database is reduced.
We are now wanting to test the same on Dev environment.
From SDN Link :
I understand that :
DMS basically has a content server. which stores documents.
That can be accessed through Web, SAP R/3 Gui , SAP Portal.
I have gone thro various links and the following links i have found to be informative and helpful :
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/c1/1c31a243c711d1893e0000e8323c4f/frameset.htm
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/PLM/DMS+Customizing
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/59/fba637fcf7dc39e10000009b38f8cf/frameset.htm
However, would like to know the following because am not getting the clarity :
1) Is there any supported platform / compatibility guide for DMS ?
if yes, can someone send me the link?
2) We have oracle 11g as our for SAP R/3 backend.
Windows 2003 server 64 bit system.
When i check the system status on the dev server of sap.
It says. ECC 6.0 Rel 7.00 update 20 (hOpe am reading it correctly)
After much search on the SMP site,
we finally discovered and downloaded the DMS software for unicode and / 64 bit.
Which we saw under the maintenance components separately seen for DMS 7.0
Now for this DMS content server which we would like to make it external for storage of documents -
do we need to have a separate database for this purpose as a repository.
If i run a setup of DMS - will that automatically install any default repository for this or
will it allow me to choose any other repository for the same ?
Can anyone advise on this.
Because this link says content server is based on Instance of MAXDB : http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/59/fba637fcf7dc39e10000009b38f8cf/frameset.htm
3) I read some thing like this on some of the SDN links :
P40 - Integration of DMS
P62 - R&D Document Manage¬ment and Workflow
P71 - Document management
What are they referring to.
4) We would be accessing these thro web, gui, customised portal.
This content server configuration is a bit confusing.
5) Is SNC configuration required to be done for the separate DMS server setup.
If yes, how to do that ? any configuration link for that please ?
Can anyone advise on the things to do.
Steps to do.
What all are the pre-requisites to check, before we start the set up of DMS.
Can anyone help me understand this whole thing regarding the DMS installation and configuration.
Step-wise.. from the start to end.
Because it gives me a lot of uneasiness without having everything in place before we could say we could start the whole process of configuration / installation.
Many thanks for your help in advance.
Wishing you a happy and relaxed weekend.
Kind regards
Indu

Thanks christoph & pradeep kumar.
did a few more research and atleast have come to understand that.
DMS server installation has content server which works only with MAXDB.
So my understanding is correct.
And what we see as Easy DMS is a client installation.
which probably i would look at at a later stage.
Found this link to be a little more informative :
http://www.sapfans.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=330558
I really wish. That life were to be so easy. To call a consultant and finish it off
Wishful thinking
thanks and cheers

How to have Multiple Configurations for a Flex Application

Hi All,
I've seen this question asked in various forms multiple times, but never answered: How do you set up a FLEX configuration to have different configurations for development (local), test server, staging server, beta server, and production server? I cannot imagine that Adobe has not accounted for this, something that is very standard in most development teams. Zend Framework has a very elegant solution for this: in the configuration file you define all aspects that can be configured, as well as the various environments (development, staging, beta, live, etc.). Then, in the bootstrap file you specify which environment you want to work in, and you're all set.
How can something like this be achieved in FLEX?
Many thanks!
-Mike

Maybe my setup is unconventional, I doubt it, though:
1) SVN repo stores FLEX and PHP codebases in separate projects.
2) Developer gets code from repo, and runs on local machine. -> need to configure FLEX to point to local PHP code here for Remote Objects.
3) Developer then publishes Flex app to staging server. -> need to configure FLEX to point to staging PHP code here.
4) Flex app then gets published to live server. -> need to configure FLEX to point to live PHP code here.
Now, using ANT, the scenario would look like this:
1) SVN repo stores FLEX and PHP codebases in separate projects.
2) Developer gets code from repo, and runs on local machine. -> need to configure FLEX to point to local PHP code here for Remote Objects.
3) Code is good and developer checks it back into SVN.
4) ANT extracts latest build from SVN and builds it, then publishes to staging server. -> need to configure FLEX to point to staging PHP code.
I am using PHPUnderControl as my build server for PHP.
I am also unclear as to how my goal could be achieved using ANT?
Thanks!

ASA 5505 configured for WebVPN connecting to Citrix Web Interface

ASA 5505 configured for WebVPN connecting to Citrix Web Interface.
i have a ASA 5505 that I am attempting to configure for WebVPN with passthrough into Web Interface . The user authenticates into WebVPN OK and gets the option to click on the Citrix Link (which is i add bookmark citrix server http:// 172.30.40.5.) i enter the citrix and then for example i want to open to outlook it can not open. (when i want to open some application no application is open)).there is no alarm at asa. how i solve this issue?
thanks.

Teymur,
Can you confim that after disabling the ssl/tls on the Citrix server (secure connectivity) that you are getting exactly the same error. It is possible that it is generating a different error.
The bug where we have see the existing error was CSCtf06303 but that has been fixed in 8.4.1. Can you confirm the exact version of code you are running on the ASA.
If you have confirmed the above two notes it may be adventageous to open a TAC case as we may need to do some live additional troubleshooting.
Thanks

Want to use an iPod photo configurated for Mac on a PC

I want to use my old iPod photo (configurated for Mac) on a PC (but do not need to keep my songs and photos). Is this possible? If so, what do I do?
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.8) iPod 5th generation 60 GB

If your iPod is formatted for Mac it won't run natively on a PC because the Windows OS does not support the HFS Plus file system and therefore will not see the drive. Macs can read Windows drives so you could restore and format the iPod on a PC, this would also mean any future software updates would have to be done on Windows. This will erase your drive so you need to have your songs and photos backed up. Alternatively there are third party programs that will allow you to use a Mac formatted iPod on Windows, this is one for instance gets good reviews and has the functionality to let you copy content from the iPod to the PC. Not sure if it does photos but have a look: XPlay 2
You can read another user's experience of using XPlay at this link: iPod on Mac and Windows

Is it possible to run TWO parellel configurations for one Object??

SAP Gurus,
We have a strange requirement from the client to have to configurations established in the system for one configuration object.
Without taking much of your time let me paraphrase the requirements.
The client is having two different types of putaway strategies in their current business process. And they toggle between these putaway strategies by reaching out to their production support group and they make configuration changes to have the other put away strategy
One Step Putaway: GR area --> High Rack Storage
Two Step Putaway: GR area --> Interim storage (area at the end of each aisle of high rack storage) --> High Rack
Client wants to have two parallel configurations for both of these put away strategies and needs an ability to switch from one to another. This switching ability should be accessed from SAP screen without any IT intervention (no configuration)
- Switching ability should allow the warehouse manager to change from one step to two step put away strategies without any IT intervention.
- Switching ability should be accessed my SAP Screen (Z-transaction or something with a radio button to toggle around)
Is it possible to have two configuration made for Putaway Strategies and switch them on/off depending on the warehouse needs??
Your invaluable feedback on this will be highly appreciated.
Thanks again folks,
Dhaval

Q1--I don't believe it is possible. An organization can have multiple licenses tied to its main email address, for example, but then they are assigned to the individual users.
Q2--Yes, you would just need to log out of your account within the CC desktop app prior to logging in on the other account.

How to get the number of decimal places configured for a site column

Hi,
I have a column 'SampleNumCol' of type Number, the number of decimal places to be displayed is configured as 2.
The column conatins a value, but when retrieved programatically is displayed as 5.00000000 instead of 5.00.
I am retrieving this column using listitem.Properties[field.InternalName].
I need to trim the decimals based on number of decimal places configured for the site column.
How to get the number of decimal places configured for a site column?
Thanks in advance,
dhijit

Get the field as SPFieldNumber and then check DisplayFormat which returns
SPNumberFormatTypes
SPFieldNumber numberField = list.Fields.GetFieldByInternalName("YourNumberFieldName") as SPFieldNumber;
SPNumberFormatTypes numFormatType = numberField.DisplayFormat;

Getting SPWeb.CurrentUser as null with Windows Authentication (AD), when configured for Claims Authentication

Hi All,
We recently migrated to SP 2013 from SP 2010. We are using most of the OOB features, with a few custom code. We have implemented a custom ASP.NET Membership Provider that authenticates against a web service. This was working fine on SP 2010.
The entire code base was migrated to SP 2013 (with .net fw 4.5, etc) and any issues Compile / Runtime were fixed. However, we are stuck at one bug, which seems to be occuring only while trying to login with Windows Authentication. When a user tries to login
with Forms Authentication, the error is never noticed.
Scenrio: Login as Windows Authentiction.
Result: The user is signed into the system and is authenticated against the AD. For random page loads - it throws access denied (even though he is a site collection admin). While attaching a debugger, we found that, at times the SPWeb.CurrentUser is null (weird).
At the same time, the HttpContext.Current.Request.IsAuthenticated returns true. Which means the User is Authenticated, but not available in the SPWeb.CurrentUser object.
Attached are couple of ULS Logs that we found. The line which says IsAuthenticated=True, UserIdentityName=, ClaimsCount=0 is a little disturbing. Can you please let me know what is happening here? I am not able to access the root site (http://win2012d2:1234/)
however, i am able to access (http://win2012d2:1234/SitePages/Home.aspx) just fine, without any issues.
Please note, this error is only when the user is logged into sharepoint as a windows user. The forms user faces no such issues.

Hi Mohamed,
According to your description, my understanding is that the error occurred when users login with Windows Authentication.
From the error message, I recommend to check if the anonymous access is enabled for the web application.
And please also make sure that the users all are available and have permission to access the site.
Here is a similar thread for you to take a look:
