URL logon groups are empty in SMMS

hello,
i'm trying to configure http load balancing with message server.
i've created a logon group and assigned it to url webgui in SICF
it seems to work but in sape note 751873 it is said that logon groups and corresponding urls could be loaded and checked in transaction SMMS using functions via Goto -> Expert functions -> HTTP
the problem is that, here in SMMS, my url logon groups list is always empty...
is it normal?
regards

Hi Olivier,
In case you use Integrated ITS in a Portal environment you should have a closer look at notes 1029194 and 1040325.
Thanks and regards,

LDAP Groups are empty

Hello Forum,
I have a teaming 2.1 installation up and running and it synchronizes well with the ldap-server except for one thing: All groups are empty. users are synced and operable, groups are also there but empty.
I'm not sure how to have teaming extract the group members.
Any thoughts?
TIA,

the default filter cannot (at least does not) extract any data from our tree.
The box syncronize group membership is checked and I suspect that teaming tries to extract the group members via a different attribute than memberUid. Unfortunately I have not found information about how specifically the group member sync takes place.
Thanks in advance,

After restoring contacts from time machine, all groups are empty

I had to restore a backup of my address book folder from time machine. Library/Application Support/Address Book, I also removed deleted the com.apple.addressbook.plist files. When I open address book, all the contacts and group names show, but the groups are now empty when I click on them. Any thoughts?

Quit Contacts or Address Book if it’s running. If you use iCloud, uncheck the box marked Contacts in the iCloud preference pane.
Triple-click the text on the line below to select it, then copy it to the Clipboard (command-C):
~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/Metadata
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V), and press return.
A Finder window will open with a folder selected. Move the selected folder to the Desktop, leaving the window open for now.
Relaunch the application and test. If there’s no improvement, quit and put back the item you moved, overwriting the newer one that may have been created in its place. Otherwise, delete the item.

Tab Groups are empty when loaded from tab group list

I have several tab groups which have been working successfully.
Today whenever I open a tab group the number of tabs is set to zero and all my tabs are lost. In the Tab Group List they show as 7, 19 etc.

You can check for problems with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the Firefox Profile Folder that store session data.
Delete the sessionstore.js file and possible sessionstore-##.js files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

Clarifications regarding logon groups

Hi All,
I need some info regarding logon groups. I know we can create and maintain logon groups using txn SMLG.
I'd like to know exactly what logon groups are?
For what purposes do we need them? i was told that logon groups are normally used when debugging applns (so as not to hinder performance). Can anybody throw more light on this? Thanks!
cheers

Prachi,
the Logon group is most useful when you have clustered system architecture for your R/3 server. Suppose in a production environment you have 2 or 4 physical servers maintained for you single R/3 system - this is a very common scenario. Now when a user comes to logon - his logon should be redirected to the server node with least amount of load at that point of time. Where the load calculation is done by the message server - this logon group helps routing the user request to the actual server with least load. If you dont use Logon group you are basically asking to logon into a predefined server node among these 2 or 4 nodes. But when you use Logon groups you are basically taking the benifit of the system to decide where your logon should take place actually. Following is a line from SAP Help:
<i>Log on to a group. In this case, the application server with the best response time is selected automatically</i>
Hope it helps!!!

Configuring Logon groups for JAVA instances using NWA method

Hello,
we have a BI dual System landscape ( CI ABAP+ JAVA plus 2 dialog instance ABAP+JAVA, based on NW04s. I have set up a Web Dispatcher to do a load balancing for JAVA instances. I configured the logon groups according this documentation using NWA (http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/45/3dbe11a82b6bf1e10000000a1553f6/content.htm).
The following points are still quite unclear for me:
1. according documentation I should specify the following profile parameters:
[Define the special HTTP URLs, which SAP Web Dispatcher uses to send to the AS Java to retrieve the logon groups information]
wdisp/J2EE/group_info_location = [?] /JavaEE/public/icf_info/icr_groups
wdisp/J2EE/url_map_location = [?] /JavaEE/public/icf_info/icr_urlprefix
Wich values should i take here actually? These one or /J2EE/icr_groups and /J2EE/icr_urlprefix ?
2. Also I have to configure (in visual administrator) the GroupInfoRequest and UrlMapRequest properties of the HTTP Provider service running on server processes. They recommend to use /J2EE/icr_groups and /J2EE/icr_urlprefix. Should it be the same values as defined in those profile parameters?
3. I have defined the instance IDs and exacte Alias in the groups definitions in nwa. Is it possible to proof somehow while using my URL http://<host>:<port>/TestApp~test/<application_resource> either im web dispatcher (traces?) or on a web site on which DI I actually land to be sure that my load balancing works properly and i don't land on my Central Instance?
Thanks a lot in advance for your advices.
best regards,
Polina

Understood, Install the web dispatcher and configre the ABAP Message Server Port and ms/http_port (T-CODE:SMMS). Test this link
http://host:port/sap/public/icf_info/icr_groups
and this would retrieve the list of ABAP (SMLG) cofigured groups.
For java load balancing, icm of that host will send the incoming requests to JAVA Dispatcher. The load balancing happens on the basis of server nodes and can be found in the web dispatcher session dispatching table.
There are no necessary parameters required for java load balancing except the number of server nodes you'll hookup to that dispatcher.
There is an option called service based, where we configure the j2ee hosts to accept the connections for the services which are running but I haven't seen much customers using this option.
Bottom line: No changes are required for java side and enable the "ext rfc" option for abap logon groups and rest will be taken care by Web Dispatcher.
Use connection pooling and high timeouts to acheive the better througput and use the SSL termination on Web Disp.

How to create Logon groups for JAVA Systems

Hi,
I am implementing an BI JAVA Landscape. We do have 1 Central Instance(CI) and 2 Dialog Instances (DI) JAVA Standalone. Everything based on NW04s
I have set up a Web Dispatcher to do a load balancing. The Web Dispatcher is connected to the Message Server (MS) of the JAVA CI to get all the information about the Engines.
I am now looking to create Logon groups to distibute the load according the application used applications. I am not sure if there is a possibility to set up logon groups (server groups) directly somewhere in the J2EE engine, or if I have to set this up in the WebDispatcher konfiguration files?!
Thanks in advance and best regards,
Dominik

We're trying to do something similar with NetWeaver CE 7.1.
According to [this documentation|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwce10/helpdata/en/45/3dbe11a82b6bf1e10000000a1553f6/frameset.htm] there are 3 steps to doing this for NetWeaver CE 7.1:
1. Logon Groups
2. Web Dispatcher profile changes
3. HTTP Provider property changes
We've set up a Logon Group in the NetWeaver nwa and associated the two instances (one host) with it.
"[Configuring Logon Groups Using Configuration Files|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwce10/helpdata/en/45/3c3f0cad9f4c2de10000000a1553f6/frameset.htm]" says: "...to create the files using HTTP Provider service."
There it doesn't say exactly how to generate those 3 text files; it says: "1. Create the icrgroups.txt and urlinfo.txt files that define the logon groups. For more information, see the documentation of SAP Web Dispatcher." ; but, has no link to what it says to see. So, I manually go to ["SAP Web Dispatcher", "Assigning Logon Groups"|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwce10/helpdata/en/b4/9aa8862e714e6db8e74e48e5d3283b/frameset.htm]. But, it all pretty much breaks down there because it's referring to apparently non-NetWeaver CE 7.1 stuff (as near as I can tell); for instance, how do the transactions SMLG and SICF relate to NetWeaver CE 7.1, or am I in the wrong place?
I tried to press ahead with files similar to the examples here, but I hit this error in the Web Dispatcher:
[Thr 5132] *** WARNING => ICT: path prefix /Curam/ not allowed in this context. Only prefix / allowed. [ictxxptab.c 764]
[Thr 5132] *** WARNING => When a file is specified in wdisp/J2EE/url_map_location only URL prefix '/' is supported. See also SAP note 1033470. [icrxx.c 2925]
The note reference looks hopeful, but I cannot read it; I get:
Note 1033470
The requested SAP Note is either in reworking or is released internally only
Does anyone have a copy of this Note or knows if it's helpful?
Has anyone done this with NetWeaver CE 7.1?
Tahnks,
William

Often when Firefox is closed and reopened ALL the tabs and tab groups are missising. FIX!!!!

For reasons that are unclear to me I sometimes close Firefox and later re-open it. In some cases ALL the tabs and tab groups are gone. Today it opened in MSN.com and ALL tabs were gone. I put a lot of pages on these and have NO WAY to find them all again. If this continues and you cannot give me a way to recall them I simply will have to go to another browser. It always happens when I need them most and don't have time to even track down one. It completely upsets my day, week, month whatever!!!.
Is there a way to get them back? Someone asked a similar question and was never given a useful answer.

I've begun having this problem as well. Reviewing the above, I seen no errors that I' making. A few weeks ago, without being aware of an update to Firefox, it began behaving differently than it has for years. I've always had it set to open to an empty tab, now it often opens to the 'Firefox Home Page' (which I've never used)... this despite resetting my opening page to "Show my windows and tabs from last time" (upon troubleshooting the 'home page issue' I found that the opening page had reset to FF Home somehow. I store a lot of pages in tab groups and having them disappear is a major bummer since they're news articles I'm waiting to copy.
Also... I run CCleaner weekly and I know that will erase the group tabs I've stored so before running it I have to store those URL's another way. Does anyone know what I can uncheck in CCleaner to keep those tabs?
Thanks.

Configuartion of logon group !DIAG for use by web dispatcher

We are load balancing our HTTP traffic across a range of ABAP+Java Addin instances and have found that the load is balanced according to the logon group !DIAG. Does anyone know if is possible to configure this group (ie to remove the CI) or how to use a different logon group.
I think you can do something with URL mapping in SICF, but do not know how to configure it.
Regards
Jack Inniss.

Hi Jack
The internal server group !DIAG is made up of all application servers defined in SMLG, I believe. The web dispatcher uses the ICF service /sap/public/icf_info to determine the content of this group in conjunction with URL mapping.
If you exeute this service you'll see the list of servers and logon groups that will be used for the !DIAG group. Is the CI defined in SMLG ? Also, you may find the following page on SAP Help useful.

Specific logon Group for Http logins

Hi
I just wondering whether we can have Logon group in SMLG specifically for http logins to use only 3 app server out of 6.
In my case,we have given one of the app server in the Iviews so all http logins goes to it, But as I see this server is idle most of the times and my other app servers are overloading and hanging sometimes so to allow GUI users on this and distribute http logins to use only 3 servers.
And If I use the generic load balancing then all the request would come to Central instance and then go to app server,which I don't want because I restricted any users login to central instance .so What I am looking is, to distribute Http logins to 3 app servers only .
Can this be acheived???
Any ideas are welcome.
Thanks

Hello,
you can create a logon group in SMLG with those 3 application servers, then set the flag ""Ext. RFC-enabled" in SMLG.
If you use the Message server for Http load balancing you should activate the services sap/public/icf_info/logon_groups and sap/public/icf_info/urlprefix in SICF transaction.
You could as well assign specific logon groups to url's in transaction SICF.
There are some restrictions when using the message server for Http load balancing (depending of your scenario), see SAP Note 1040325. That's the reason is recommended to use SAP Webdispatcher
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/EN/de/89023c59698908e10000000a11402f/frameset.htm

SSO to SAP via SAP Logon Group

Hi,
I've tried to configure SSO to SAP via SAP logon group. When trying this I'll get the following error:
Connect to message server failed Connect_PM MSHOST=<server>, R3NAME=IB1, GROUP=IB1_Web LOCATION CPIC (TCP/IP) on local host ERROR The message received isn't from a message server. Are you really connected to the message server? Please check your connection parameters. (<server> / sapmsIB1) TIME Tue Dec 16 16:48:49 2008 RELEASE 640 COMPONENT MS (message handling interface, multithreaded) VERSION 4 RC -2
I've also configured the file services under winnt\system32\drivers\etc on the BO server with the following line:
+sapmsIB1 443/tcp +
Is there anything I'll have to configure too? Or what does this error mean? The server which I have tried to reach is a message server.
Thanks in advice.
Claudia

HI Ingo,
yes I can connect with SAP GUI via message server and application server. I can also connect with BO via sso to the application server. Only the message server failed.
I have now found out that I had the wrong port. But also the right port doesn't work. I have tested the port with telnet. The port is reachable.
Thanks
Claudia

Scheduling background job on Logon group

Hi All,
We have 4 logon groups configured in SMLG, while scheduling the job in SM36 ->Target server field i am able to see only one group and other indivdual servers not all the Groups configured in SMLG.
Is there any option i have to check to let all the groups configured in SLMG to diaply in SM36 for scheduling so that i can select the Logon group. I tried giving the logon group names manually which are not listed in Target server field it's giving the error group not exist..
Please suggest..how to make all the Groups configured in SMLG to get displayed in SM36 for scheduling jobs...
Thanks,
Subhash.G

Target server field is Name of an SAP instance at which a background job should be run. The name has the following format: <host name>_<SAP System name>_<SAP System number>, where host name is the name of the server computer on which the instance is running, as specified in the system profile parameter SAPLOCALHOST.
The name of each instance is specified in the system profile parameter rdisp/myname.
Example: hs0123_C11_55
In programming: As the table field EXECSERVER, shows the target instance selected by the user for running a job. As the table field REAXSERVER, shows the SAP instance at which a job was actually run.
Hope this is clear.
Thank you,
Shyam

J2EE logon groups in an ABAP+JAVA system

Hi,
We are trying to restrict java calls to specific App servers in our ABAP+JAVA system. So if we have 5 App servers, we want all J2EE requests to go to 3 Apps only.
We are using SAP web dispatcher for this purpose. When checking on SAP help site, it suggested two options.
1) Configuring Logon Groups on AS Java
2) Configuring Logon Groups Using Configuration Files
Which of the above would be a better option for ABAP+JAVA system?
Has anyone implemented this before? If yes, can you share your experiences/lessons learned??
Thanks.
Fahad

1. Log on to the ABAP system.
2. Call transaction SPRO.
3. Go to SAP Solution Manager Implementation Guide -->
SAP Solution Manager --> Basic Settings --> SAP Solution Manager
System --> General Settings --> Client Copy
4. Perform the following steps:
a) Maintain Profile Parameters
b) Create Client
c) Copy Client 000
d) Convert UME

Send Idoc's to R/3 System with logon group

Hello everybody,
I have the next scenario
Sender R/3 Idoc -> XI -> Receiver R/3 Idoc
now I have a doubt, the receiver system has a logon group, is there any benefits for me in XI to use the logon group to send the Idocs to this system?, and if it's better to use logon group how can I use it, juts by defining the RFC that exists in SM59 that points to the receiver R/3 system in XI as load balancing and pointing to the logon group????, thanks in advance for your answers.

Julio,
Yes you are right, load balancing can be achieved using logon groups in the RFC destination for the IDoc adapter. It basically enables the ABAP dispatcher to decide whats the best available application server to process the inbound message sent by PI.The purpose is to load-balance successive connections across a group of ECC application servers.
To do this a connection is established through the message server (the central ECC instances communication process) to determine which ECC instance is to handle the RFC call.
The key parameters here are:
u2022     the hostname, on which the message server process runs,
u2022     the system name of the ECC central instance, and
u2022     The logon group, which indicates the cluster of applications servers that an ECC instance will be selected from, to serve the request.
Greetings,
Gerardo.

How to make a subform not print if the fields are empty

I'm once again working on that kind of client form where our agents fill in a bunch of fields on our forms and I only want those fields that are pertinent to that client to print out and I've grouped the fields that go together into separate subforms.
There are date fields and currency fields that relayout to floating fields in hidden blocks of text that appear when the last text field is exited, ie:
Subform1 "On 5/14/12 your application was approved. We will pay $100 to your account"
Subform2 "On 5/14/12 we received your application. We will need further information before you claim for $250 can be approved" etc. Obviously, both of these subforms cannot appear on the letter.
Jono gave me a great solution for not printing checkboxes that are not checked with a preprint script which worked perfectly and I tried to adapt that to the subforms but alas my skills are lacking. I tried just putting it in each fill in field but then the blocks of text still remained.
So basically I don't want the subforms that have empty fields to print.
I'd appreciate any help that can be offered.

Hi,
I think that the logic/script should be placed in the area where the user either approves or rejects the claim. This would avoid a prePrint script to check if fields are empty or not.
If you are stuck with checking if fields are empty on prePrint, then you would just need to check the relevant fields one at a time or use a loop.
Hope that helps,
Niall
