WAAS 4.1.1c and HTTP acceleration

HTTP acceleration graphs remain empty. What is the cause of this ? Is HTTP not accelerated now?

Just an FYI but there is a bug associated with 4.1.1c and the HTTP accelerator.
CSCsv69306-Under certain conditions, HTTP clients whose connections are being optimized by HTTP accelerator can experience slow response.
I had to disable the HTTP accelerator for all my devices but I am now running 4.1.1d and it is enabled.

WAAS 4.1.1c and MAPI acceleration

Hi,
Have turned on everything which is possible, but MAPI acceleration monitor graphs are still empty. Does this mean that MAPI is not accelerated ?
What are the prerequesites for MAPI to work correctly ?

You should see the connections from the client to the server with the MAPI adapter applied. If it's already using MAPI AO, then you do not have encryption enabled. If they are all using generic or basic optimization, you can try the following on the clients.
Outlook 2000: Control Panel â Mail â Services tab â Microsoft Exchange Server â Properties
Outlook 2003: Outlook / Tools / E-mail Accounts.../Change â More Settings â Security
Outlook 2007: Outlook / Tools / Account Settings... / E-Mail tab / Change....
There are also ways to disable via global policy. I would try a few clients and see how they are set.
Thanks,
Dan

WAAS http acceleration

Hi,
I'm having troubles getting HTTP acceleration to work on WAAS 4.1.1b.
I have created a branch office topology with a 2Mb link with the data centre. Both locations employ a WAE-512-K9.
When looking at the dashboard, I can see that traffic optimization is being applied as per the default policies, but no data shows up under the acceleration tab. Shouldn't HTTP traffic be accelerated by default?
Also, can someone answer me this. If i'm at the branch office and I download a file from the internet (through the WAN link to HQ), will the WAAS cache it so that if another user goes and downloads that same file it would be acquired locally?

Got to features and submit the application accelerators. They are on by default, I was having similar problems, and I submitted the application accel features and HTTP began optimizing
yes, HTTP will cache the files using DRE (Data Redundancy Elimination) for like packets. DRe hinting however will not cache objects that are subject to change. So it depends on whether the content is pretty constant.

Best Performance: HTTP accelerator or generic tcp proxy

Hi,
We want to publish an application based on HTTPS. ( vmware view). Which would be a better choice, the HTTP accelerator, or the Generic TCP proxy, in terms of performance (lowest latency) ?
Kind regards,
Hen

Hi,
I am unable to identify a bottleneck.
The proxy is generally performing fine, only the vmware view connection through generic TCP proxy shows a delay.
Kind regards,
Hen

The tuneup settings are from Novell, and they work together with proxy
settings to allow the proxy to work faster, and handle heavier loads.
Have a look at the proxy console statistics and see if you can get an
idea if there is a bottleneck somewhere. Perhaps disk I/O. Perhaps a
DNS server problem (check proxy console option 4).

WAAS mobile with secure access https (not VPN)

Hi all !!! Hope everyone is well !!!
I have a WAAS environment in place we want to deploying WAAS mobile for teleworkers. My question is, can WAAS mobile works for users that use secure access with https (not vpn connexion)
Thanks in advance !!!

Hi Tarik,
First of all, let me insist on the fact the a WAAS mobile client will not interact with a WAAS appliance on the core side and that you'll need to have a WAAS mobile installed there is you want your teleworkers to get the benefit from WAAS.
That said, let me answer your question: WAAS mobile can indeed accelerate HTTPS traffic.
This is described on page 61 of the following document:

HTTP Acceleration for internet sites

I am starting a pilot on Version 4.1.1a.10 and have 15 sites.
A small site w/ T1 has a majority of the bandwidth being consumed by....you guessed it HTTP web traffic! So, The question is
If I deploy an Core WAE in my DC at the inside of the "Surf" firewall, Will the user behind the Edge WAE in the branch really feel the benefits when browsing internet sites? Does this new Feature in 4.1 attempt to mitigate in some small way the need for caching servers? Connection reuse is a major component here but how well will this function on a HTTP site outside of the Data Canter?
Thanks in advance
Todd
Most of the discussion for HTTP acceleration has been for internal HTTP sites.

So, My interpretation of that statement is yes a little bit. It will reduce the latency between the internet Access point and the customer LAN. but what about connection reuse for internet sites? If the remote site goes to Facebook every day ( for busness use lets say) will a core WAE optimize(reduce latency) and use DRE cacheing techniqes to improve performance to that site.

WAAS- Optimization for OCS and Wireless traffic

Hi,
I have been trying to find some information regarding optimization of Microsoft Office Communicator and Wireless traffic across a WAN environment via WAAS and its acceleration/optimization capabilities.
So far, I have seen the case studies section for WAAS but no case offers what I am looking for...
Do you have any information/documentation that can be shared with customers regarding OCS and Wireless as key business application that were benefited after a WAAS deployment?
Thanks
Regards,
M.

Hi Manuel,
Answers for you:
So we can say that wireless traffic across a WAN link could not obtain any benefits from any WAN optimization solution, in this case WAAS?
Ans: Nope. I do nto mean that. What I am trying to say is - it's a different thing. Wireless or no Wireless, optimization can be done when the traffic passes thru edge and core side WAEs. If it passes thru only one WAE, it will go in pass thru.
If a wireless controller at a remote site needs to send traffic to another wireless controller in a centralized or HUB site, can we optimize this traffic or it will just benefit from the overall reduction in bandwidth as a result of any TCP based application getting optimized?
Ans: It really does not matter. The traffic really needs to pass thru WAEs on both sides in order to optimize. Whether it is from wireless controller or from any other devices, it really does not matter. Further the type of traffic and policies on WAEs will determine how much optimization can be done, if any.
OCS uses SIP which is TCP based or ports 506x so I am assuming that SIP could be benfited by WAAS unless OCS uses a secured session were SIP is encrypted.: Yes, WAAS can help you but SIP is a voice traffic and there are default policies like VoIP on WAAS which will pass thru this traffic for port 5060. It's not a good idea to optimize voice traffic due to various reasons.

Error Message when installing Companion CD for HTMLDB 1.6 and HTTP Server

Hi. First time forum user so bear with me.
I'm not sure if this is the correct forum for this but the assistance of anyone who may be able to shed some light on the problem whould be greatly appreciated. I am having a problem when attempting to install the Companion CD for HTMLDB 1.6 and HTTP Server, details given below:
The following Oracle components have been successfully installed
     Oracle 10gR2 Database.
     Oracle 10gR2 Database patch 10.2.03.
     Critical patch up date (security).
The following Oracle component failed to install.
     Companion CD for HTMLDB 1.6 and HTTP server
Scenario leading up to failure
     Extracted companion CD installation files to D:\oracle\utilities\Oracle_10_2_0_Companion
     Executed D:\oracle\utilities\Oracle_10_2_0_Companion\companion\setup.exe.
The following error message is displayed in a "JAVA VIRTUAL MACHINE LAUNCHER" dialog box
     "Could not find the main event class. Program will exit."
I have been attmepting to resolve this problem for over a week and have already checked the following with no resolution to the problem:
Cause. This issue may have to do with two issues (and may occur more on Windows):-
1. Within the ORACLE_HOME directory full pathname there is a space.
2. The directory from where the software / patch is being installed has a space within the directory full
pathname (where the file for the installation by default is named products.jar or products.xml).
Solution. To implement the solution, please execute the following steps:-
1. Rename the full pathname directory NOT to contain a space.
2. Launch again the OUI... and verify if the problem occurs.
Any further guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Can you install using OUI from the RDBMS installation? IIRC, there is a problem using OUI on companion to install companion items.

Https front end and http backend

Hi there....I am having a small issue....I have a web app that is https based....I have installed the cert on the CSS, and DNS for this app points to the VIP....the client is wanting to have an https front end, and then load balance in http to the backend servers....the issue I am running into is that this only works if I have an active port 80 rule on that same VIP....if I suspend the port 80 rule and only leave the port 443 rule active on that VIP, it doesn't work....please see appropriate config portions below....Thanks in advance!

ANy suggestions? I have been trying this for a couple of days now...it works fine if the backend sessions are also https, but the client has changed their requirement....

Thanks for the quick reply....there is another port 80 rule setup for that vip....I was using that to test with the app until I got the front end https rules working....
my port 80 rules just says listen to 10.19.55.10 on port 80 and load balance btwn the webervers on port 8x in the back end...
I am trying to do https front end and http backend....
no where in my SSL config have I configured port 80....but when I suspend that rule it all fails....
I am wondering if the backend server sessions are happening properly?
I don't fully get what you mean by "You need to have the rule in port 443 to match traffic coming from the client and the clear text rule (port 81) to match traffic already decrypted coming from the SSL module"
Haven'tI done that?
Thanks again!

Multiple crashes fixed by turning off hardware and Flash acceleration; very slow now. Takes five seconds to exit and still listed as a running process

A workaround was suggested by a member of the community to turn off both hardware and Flash acceleration. It worked fine (no crashes since), but runs very slowly. In particular, takes five seconds to exit and is often still listed as a running process. Very slow in connecting to Web pages, and very slow loading them because of the graphics. Very slow in loading video. I expected slower responses, but this is REALLY slow. I'm running 64-bit Windows 7 and an Nvidia GE Force 7800 graphics card with all the drivers updated and the plugins for Firefox mostly set on "ask to activate". Should I expect this much reduction in performance when the workaround I mentioned was put into place? If so, it's half a loaf at best. The only thing questionable is that I have two Youtube downloaders that I am trying, but I made the assumption that these were only applied when you downloaded something from Youtube.

In case you are using "Clear history when Firefox closes": do not clear the Cookies
If you clear cookies then Firefox will also try to remove cookies created by plugins and that requires to start plugin-container processes that can slow down closing Firefox.
Instead let the cookies expire when Firefox is closed to make them session cookies.

Oracle database (10.2.0.4) and HTTP server / HTML DB conflict

Hi there,
I installed a fresh 10.2.0.1 (patched with 10.2.0.4) oracle database on Oracle Entreprise linux 5.7, and HTTP server + HTML DB products from the companion CD. Both are located in different home directory:
ODB: $ORACLE_BASE/product/10.2.0/db_1
APEX: $ORACLE_BASE/product/10.2.0/apex
I just discovered that logs files ($APEX/opmn/logs/) have filled up my entire disk this week end. After some googling / digging, I've read that there is a conflict between the ONS services that run for both products on the same port. Opening the configuration files of both products:
+$ODB/opnm/conf/ons.config+
+$APEX/opnm/conf/opnm.xml+ (btw, ons.conf is empty)
I indeed saw that they both use port 6113 as local port and 6200 as remote port. The workaround I've found in variuos places is to either change the port number, or unsuscribe ONS for the database listener (and sometimes both).
Question 1: what is the best solution ? what are the consequences for the database listener in case of unsuscribtion ?
I also saw that opnm.xml in APEX configuration file is making use of the $ORACLE_HOME environment variable, which I define in my /etc/profile as $ORACLE_BASE/product/10.2.0/db_1. So I guess the opnm of APEX is looking at the wrong place... Yet if I change ORACLE_HOME in my /etc/profile, I won't be able to run dbstart upon stgartup, as it is run using ORACLE_HOME in a init.d script...
Question 2: Can someone clarify things up about the exact relationship between oracle database and HTTP server ? How should I deal with ORACLE_HOME environment variable, which one use it and when... ?
Note that I'm completely new to Oracle (and hence APEX).
Thanks in advance!

There should be no conflicts - except for configuration ones.
Oracle is multi home capable. Thus multiple Oracle s/w products installed into different homes and these products running side by side.
The conflict is system resources - like a TCP port. That port cannot be shared by multiple processes. So you need to make sure that each s/w component that needs a TCP listener end-point, has a unique port number allocated for it to use.
As mentioned, the Oracle Apache server is an Oracle client with respect to Oracle client-server architecture. It simply needs a client OCI driver to connect to the Oracle database instance. So whether you run Oracle Apache on the same server as the database instance, or on another server all together - this makes no difference. The Oracle Apache s/w will be using its home for running. It has no need for anything from the database instance's home directory. Thus there are no conflicts - as long as you correctly keep them separated and not set the wrong home for the wrong component or include the wrong path (to another home's executables).
OK, so to summarize a bit:
- I should just be carefull when running startup script which will launch all services upon startup, i.e. changing the value of ORACLE_HOME before running each product startup script (dbstart => ORACLE_HOME = (..)/10.2.0/db_1, opmnctl => ORACLE_HOME = (..)/apex). I'm still quite worried because ORACLE_HOME is heavily used in opmn.xml but anyways.
- That's basically it: when each product's services are running, they do not use ORACLE_HOME (and such) anymore, hence no conflict from this point of view.
Also do not attempt to use IPC connectivity between the mod_plsql Apache module and the database instance. Does not make sense ito performance. Shared server should be considered and localhost TCP connectivity can be used.Well as I don't really know IPC yet, so hopefully I won't get into troubles. Just to be clear about that, i've this in my listener.ora:
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME = PLSExtProc)
(ORACLE_HOME = /opt/oracle/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1)
(PROGRAM = extproc)
LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC1))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = apex.nwk)(PORT = 1521))
Does that mean that ICP will be used somehow ?
Thanks again from your help.

Ftp and http access over XDB repository is not allowed...

When I try to execute the following command on a reasonably fresh Oracle 11 installation:
insert into "XMLTEST" ( "name", "xmlfof" ) values ( 'small', DBMS_XDB.GETCONTENTXMLTYPE('/public/small.xml') );
-- The schema is correctly registered, the file "small.xml" is in the /public repository folder, the user has every conceivable role and priviledge
-- http access works fine from a remote location, tried to execute the command on the server and from remote system...
I get the following error message:
ORA-31020: Der Vorgang ist nicht zulässig, Ursache: For security reasons, ftp and http access over XDB repository is not allowed on server side ORA-06512: in "XDB.DBMS_XDB", Zeile 1915
Searching for an answer on the forum didn't produce any concreate explanation... Does anyone have any idea how to solve this problem?

As it turns out, the XML file contained a reference to a DTD at an external web-site, which caused the problem - it was identical to that described here:
Re: ORA-31020 when using XML with external DTD or entities
After removing the reference, everything works perfectly...

PORTAL ACCESS THROUGH HTTP and HTTPS BOTH

Hi,
Is it possible to make the portal listen on both http and https ports at the same time? What is the required configuration for the same?
Please let me know for any other details.
Any input is highly appreciated.

Chandra

Hello Chandra,
you can activate SSL in the J2EE engine and then you have both Protocolls avaliable. The documentaiton can be found at <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/f1/2de3be0382df45a398d3f9fb86a36a/frameset.htm">Configuring the Use of SSL on the SAP J2EE Engine</a>.

Https for SOAP and HTTP Receiver adapters in PI 7.1

Hi,
We need HTTPS Transport protocol is required to send the message to receiver systems.
Currently we are using below procedures for https:
1) HTTP with SSL (= HTTPS) without client authentication
2) HTTP with SSL (= HTTPS) with client authentication
But client donu2019t want this procedure.
Here my question is How to enable the https Transport protocol in SOAP and HTTP Receiver adapters.

>>Here my question is How to enable the https Transport protocol in SOAP and HTTP Receiver adapters.
What I see is your client wants PI to send communication via HTTPS transport protocol. That means you have to apply for trusted certificate and import that certificate root node in Netweaver keystore.
Then change the transport protocol from http to https in soap and http receiver communication channel and communicate to client via certificate authentication.
Plenty of documents available in sdn about https certificate authentication. Please go through those links.
check this thread.. might be helpful
