Two Essbase instances on the same box

Hi folks,I was wondering if it is possible to have two instances of Essbase running on the same box (Win 2K server). We want the dev and the test environments to be logically seperate but physically on the same server.Thanks a lot for your help.

It depends on the version of Essbase you are using. If you are on 6.2 or above, you can change the default listening port for the Essbase agent and application server processes, which allows you to have multiple instances on the same box.An easier way to run multiple servers on one box might be to use technology like VM Ware or Microsoft Virtual PC - they allow you to create a virtual machine which can have its own Essbase install, with your production Essbase environment running on the "base" OS.RegardsJade-------------------------------------Jade ColeSenior Business Intelligence ConsultantClarity [email protected]

Connecting to two database instances using the same Toplink

Hi,
We are trying to create a process using BPEL where data from one database instance needs to be passed to the other. The process is compiling properly and we could deploy it in BPEL Process Manager. But when we try to run the process, the data is not getting inserted into the second instance. There is no error /exception being thrown at most of the time, but at times we are getting a 'Unique constraint error' eventhough there is no duplication of data.
Can we connect to two different instances using the same toplink. How can we achieve this.
Thanks in advance

You need to use two different sessions with two different mapping descriptors

Communication between Two WebLogic instances on the same machine

Hi,
We're having a problem with communication between two copies of Weblogic on
the same machine. They are configured with seperate ports (regular and SSL).
Independantly, they run fine. I can access EJBs running on either of them.
The problem is that a bean in one of them has code which attempts to access
an EJB on the other one. The procude fails when trying to obtain the initial
context. This same code works if compilied independantly of WebLogic on the
same machine.
Are there any known issues regards communication between two running
instances of Weblogic on the same machine?
Thanks in advance,

Thanks for the prompt reply.
There is one IP address (internal address 10.227.1.34) one the machine. WLS1
is set up at ports 7001 and 5133. WLS2 is setup at ports 7004 and 7005.
When WLS1 attempts to obtain a context to WLS2 with the URL
t3://10.227.1.34:7004/ it pauses for a long period of time. Running truss
on the both WLS processes shows communication occuring between the two
followed by long periods of silence. Finally WLS2 spits out the error
ConnectionException[7001,7001,5133,5133,7001,7001] (paraphrased, I can get
the entire error if it would help).
After another long pause, WLS1 quits trying with the error 'Server
10.227.1.34:7004 not found' (again paraphrased).
Among the things we've tried:
* Changing the URL from the IP to 127.0.0.1
* Enabling/disabling SSL on either or both WLSs.
* Changing the server name in WLS2's copy of weblogic.properties from
'myserver' to 'myserver2' (previously they were both 'myserver')
* Upgrading WLS2 to 5.1.0sp5 (Tried upgrading WLS1, but was getting class
not found errors and quit because that WLS is being used by other people)
This is a Solaris server. WLS1 is running 5.1.0 and WLS2 is running 5.1.0sp5
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Best,

CNR: Two cnr instances in the same server (lab environment)

Hello, we are trying to install two cnr 7.2 intances on the same server in order to replicate in lab the real environnment (failover local cluster) without deploying two servers.
I've seen on the installation guide that installing both a local and regional server on a single machine is supported, but what about two local servers working as a failover pair?
up to date, we've managed to install both installs, the dhcp servers are configured for using different interfaces and web gui are listening in different ports. scp ports have been changed (1234 and 4321 ) and, on dhcp-server expert configuration: failover-remote-port and failover-port are configured to be different (677 - 678 in one , and 678 - 677 in the other)
We can manage both servers from DHCP - failover configuration, as they show up and running, and even see logs... The other configs are
When trying to syncronize we get the error
"ChangeSet list is empty."
is this configuration supported?
best regards!

Hi,
We are planning to install second instance of Oracle 11gR2 in Linux server 2.6.39-400.21.1.el6uek.x86_64 x86_64. This is something we never haven done before. If you have such experience, please give us some insight.
The existing instance has all the standard ports:
Connecting to (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=)(PORT=1521))
Enterprise Manager Console HTTP Port (pterpdb02) = 1158
Enterprise Manager Agent Port (pterpdb02) = 3938
What ports should we select for second listener and enterprise manager? Is there anything else that we need to know before we install the second instance?If you want a second database instance, no additional installation is required - as long as you want to run the second instance at the same version as the the first. Just fire up dbca and create the second database. One installation of Oracle (one ORACLE_HOME) is capable of supporting many database instances, though the same may or may not be said of the hardware it is running on.
As already said, one listener is enough. One listener, running from one oracle home, using the default name of LISTENER, running on the defualt port of 1521, is quite capable of -- indeed, WAS DESIGNED TO, supporte multiple database instances of multiple versions running from multiple ORACLE_HOMEs.
One instance of dbcontrol/dbconsole will support only one database. If you do not use Grid Control (extra installation, extra license) you will need to use the emca utility or one of the options in the dbca utility to configure a seperate instance of dbcontrol for each database. Don't worry about the ports, the creation utility will take care of it and report what it does.

Can i judge the two runtime instance are the same handle?

can I judge the two instance is the same handle, just like in C++ to get their address by "&" for compare?
if yes, how?
thanks in advance

Integer a = new Integer(7);
Integer b = new Integer(7);
boolean sameValue = (a.equals(b)); // true
boolean sameInstance = (a == b); // falseJust in case jsalonen's answer was a bit terse.

Is it possible to have two SCCM instances for the same domain

Hello - I'm the IT Project Manager for an organization that has a single domain-production.
In here, we have an instance of SCCM 2012 setup. This instance is used to build packages, images, testing, validations, modifications etc. as well as for production roll outs. The primary issues we have with this is there is no separation between test and
prod, also, there are several packages, task sequences etc causing confusion in determining which is a test package and which is prod.
Setting up a test domain does not seem to be a viable option for us, at least for now.
So, my question is, can we have another instance of SCCM in the same domain that we can restrict only for the sake of testing & validations and then use the original one to deploy the tested (gold) packets.
Just a thought!! Does it make sense? Any challenges that we could face?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Yes you can no problem, you should avoid having Boundary / Boundary Groups used for Site Assignment that overlap and make sure that PXE request to the test/dev environment is restricted to one test subnet to avoid co-existance issues.

Two Essbase instances vs two applications

Hi,I am trying to determine which would be better from a performance perspective:I have to create two applications in Essbase and I have one windows 2000 server. Is it better:a. to run two instances of Essbase on the same windows 2000 server with one application running on each instance orb. to run 1 instance of Essbase on the windows server and run both applications in that instanceThanks

It depends on the version of Essbase you are using.

Creating a new Essbase Cluster on the same Solaris server

Hi All,
I have two servers:
Server1: Foundation services, APS, EAS
Server2: Essbase Server, Essbase Studio Server on epminstance_1
Due to business requirements I need to "rename" the Essbase cluster from "EssbaseCluster-1" to something else.. I know this is not possible and from the below document I understand that I need to create a new instance on Server2 and configure Essbase and Essbase Studio on it.
"How to Rename Essbase Cluster (Doc ID 1434439.1)"
Goal: In EPM System Release 11.1.2.x, is it possible to rename the Essbase instance and cluster names after they are configured?
Solution: No, it is not possible to rename the Essbase cluster or instance names after the initial configuration. If you need to change the instance and cluster names, create new instance and cluster. Export the applications from the old cluster and import them into the new cluster.
My doubt lies with configuring the 2nd Essbase server as I am not clear how a single environment with two Essbase standalone instances on the same physical Solaris server, with each belonging to their own cluster will behave. I know that they are independent clusters and the concept of active/passive and active/active clusters are for Essbase instances part of the same cluster.
I plan to create a new epminstance_2 instance on Server2 and configure the 2nd Essbase server as follows: give it a *new* cluster name and not assign it to the existing Essbase cluster and deploy it in standalone mode.
1. Now I plan to use the 1st instance only as a backup option.. In an event where for some reason the new instance were to fail I would start up the services on the older essbase instance. Is this possible without any additional configuration or changes to OPMN?
2. Alternatively, say we want to remove the older instance. Kindly suggest ways in which I can safely "remove" the older cluster (other than uninstalling). Also when users log in using SmartView, they would see the older and new cluster.. Is there anyways I can get rid of the older cluster without having to uninstall everthing on Server2 and start fresh?
Thanks!

Thanks John!
I have a doubt which I hope you can throw some light now..
I created a new instance and configured Essbase Server and Studio server on it. So now I have two EPM instances on the same physical server both having Essbase server and Essbase studio server - both Essbase servers belong to different Essbase clusters. Now from the EPM docs I do not find any mention that we can or cannot have multiple instances of Essbase Studio on the same server. Kindly correct me if I am wrong..
In the deployment report I see two identical entries for the Essbase Studio server in the older epminstance but I do not see Essbase Studio of the 2nd Instance.
epmsystem_1 (Server2)
Essbase Studio Server - 9080
epmsystem_1 (Server2)
Essbase Studio Server - 9080
After I start up the 2nd Essbase Studio server I tried connecting to it from Essbase Studio Console and got the error "Read permission denied to object folder:\'system'."
Similarly when I run start_BPMS_bpms1_CommandLineClient.sh and issue the reinit command I get the same error.
So I stopped the 2nd Essbase Studio server on epmsystem_2 and started up the first Essbase Studio server on epmsystem_1. I was able to connect to it fine from Essbase Studio console and reinit worked too.. I ran a drill through report which worked fine.
-> So is it that we can have only one instance of Essbase Studio on a single server?
Also say I want to use the Essbase Studio on the 2nd instance.. Could I re-configure just Essbase server on epmsystem_1 and re-configure Essbase server and Essbase studio server on epmsystem_2 ?
Thanks,
Kent

How to configure a second apache instance on the same machine?

Hello,
We are in the process of migrating our client server application to web. We are using 9iAS (release 1), forms and reports 6i.
We installed 9iAS (Rel. 1) on Solaris platform. This instillation is our development platform. We need to create a second instance on the same Solaris box. What steps are to be taken to create this new instance on the same box?
Any pointers or documentation are appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Arun.

You can create a 2nd service and copy all config files involved and change the contents of the files. E.g. create httpd_2.conf etc. etc. You will find that this is an endless process.
What I usually do is create another Oracle 9iAS home (iSuites only). The installer automatically assigns a new port number and creates new config files.
You do not have to install a 2nd Developer home. Instead, create a second environment file, e.g. (paths are clearly for Windows in my example):
<ORACLE_Dev6i_HOME>\Forms60\Server\Apptest2.env
Edit <ORACLE_9iAS_HOME>\Apache\Jserv\Servlets\zone.properties and add the following lines:
servlet.oracle.forms.servlet.ListenerServlet.initArgs=EnvFile=D:\Oracle\Dev6i\forms60\server\default.env
servlet.servletApptest2.code=oracle.forms.servlet.ListenerServlet
servlet.servletApptest2.initArgs=EnvFile=D:\Oracle\Dev6i\forms60\server\Apptest2.env
The alias �servletApptest2� is used in the serverURL parameter in the startup html file.
Do something similar for Reports server. Create a 2nd Reports service and add this services to tnsnames.ora with a different port, e.g.
RepserverTST2,RepserverTST2.world=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=myhost)(PORT=1951))

Install Essbase 11.1.2 and OBIEE 11g on one and the same Box (Linux 64bit)

Hello
Did anyone already try to get Essbase 11.1.2 and OBIEE 11g installed on the same box? In my case I am trying it on OEL 5.5 64bit.
How did you proceed?
First Essbase or first OBIEE or have WLS installed standalone first?
Encountered any hurdles?
Thanks for any hints or links.
Thomas

let me check... yeah u can do that dude i cant tell u how to do it but i can give u some idea
try to see properties file or db files for web logic ...i think it where the port number are stored and in war file is where multiple instance info is stored
iam sure that u can create multiple instance as long as u give different ports (yeah u have to other wise u cant config it :))
Go through this doc
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E13222_01/wls/docs81/adminguide/overview.html
hope this info helps some sort :)

Can one installation of SSIS be shared by multiple instances on the same physical box?

Hello everyone,
I hope I'm posting this question on the correct forum.
We are short on money this year and we decided to purchase one physical system to represent Development and QA.
I am designing an architecture around my systems where I would have a two SQL Server Instances (2014, Enterprise Ed), one for each environment:
DVSV-ODS01\DEV
DVSV-ODS01\QA
The only possible problem is SSIS, which I cannot have multiple installations of SSIS on the same box.
Is it possible to have the SSIS service serving the two SQL Server instances installed on the same physical box?
Thanks for your help.

Not on the same physical box, but you can go with running say the QA environment on a Virtual Machine.
E.g. the very free VirtualBox should do it. And then you can install two SSIS instances.
You can even access them simultaneously this way.

Two Java versions on the same solaris box

Hi,
How can I set up two instances (SUN One 8.1 Application Server EE) to use two different JVM's - I would like one to use 1.4 & anothe to use 1.5?
This is on the same box (Solaris 10).
DO I set it in the JVM Options of the AS ?

You need to have 2 separate file-based installations or 1 packaged and 1 file-based to accomplish that. The way to point appserver 8.x to the JDK which does not come default with appserver installation is to modify AS_JAVA environment variable in appserver_root/config/asenv.conf.

How can I stop two instances of the same application?

I have just installed Yosemite about a week ago on my MacBook Pro mid '10 and it's working great except for one little glitch.
Whenever I double-click on a file in my Finder, not only does it open in the assigned dock Application, but a second instance of the same Application pops up on the dock out of nowhere. To be more clear, I have my PDFs set to Preview. I click on a PDF in my Finder and Preview starts jumping. Out of nowhere, another copy of Preview springs up on the dock and starts jumping as well. This opens that same PDF twice on my screen.
I noticed this also happens when I'm installing a .dmg file. Two installers open at the same time when I double-click the icon.
It doesn't happen if I right-click > Open or right-click > Open With.
Any thoughts?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

Distinguishing between two instances of the same portlet

Hi Experts,
Is there a way to distinguish between two instance of the same portlet in different browser windows?
I'm looking for something like URL parameter passing, but just for portlets.
The problem is, I want a way to pass a parameter between views in a portlet, but in such a way that if another browser window is opened and navigated to that portlet page, the parameter won't be the same. Perhaps I can explain better with this example:
Page A has a portlet on it which has a textbox and 2 buttons - the first button stores the value in the textbox in the PortletRequest (or PortletURL) and if you click the second button the portlet navigates to a different view which displays the value. If I navigate with a second browser window to Page A, however, and only click the navigate button, that value which was stored by the first instance of the portlet will still be shown. I want them to be independent, I don't want changes in the one's PortletRequest to reflect in the other one's PortletRequest.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
JP

Why not use two instances of the same portlet, i.e. create two channels of the same portlet.
The behave the same, have the same application logic, so all you need is to transfer informations between the two portlets.If you want this within user space use the portlet session, otherwise access the http session context /application context and store the data there.
The behavior would be controlled by the portlet preferences, so channel a (instance 1) would be configured to run as controller and channel b (instance 2) would be configured as receiver.
