WDA application differs across application servers

Hi,
when transporting from dev to Q, with Q running on 4 different app servers, we see different behaviour of our WDA application. This manifests itself as (for instance) columns of tables not being in the same positions, and also different column widths within the same tables.
It may be down to the different app servers running different versions of the WDA application, but then my question would be: how do we ensure all app servers are "synchronized" whenever we release a new transport? As of now, the users report conflicting test results based on the app behaving differently depending on which app server they happen to be routed to...
OSS doesn't seem to hold any clues to this kind of behaviour. Would a simple flush of the browser cache be sufficient, or is this to do with the app servers themselves (cache, memory, whatever...?)
Regards,
Trond

I don't believe that the app servers holding different versions of a program, it should be same across the systems.
Pl check with the following:
Column's width changes based on its content if no width is set to the column.
also,
Users can always personalize the column positions, if personalization is set.
Thanks

How to trace users across different Application Servers?

Hi,
We trace users using ST01. But how do we trace users logged in to different application servers? Please help.
Regards
MK

Hi Ahmed,
SM51 or AL08 shows in which Application server the user is logged in. But ST01 does not allow us to select or to specify the application server while tracing a user. Can you be a little more vivid. How do you specify the application server in ST01?
Please help.

Load balancing across multiple application servers not working with JCo RFC

We have a problem where inbound messages to the Mapping Runtime engine (ABAP -> J2EE) are not load balanced over application servers. However, load balancing does take place across server nodes within one application server.
Our system comprises of the following:
Central Instance (2 X server nodes)
Database Instance
2 X Dialog Instances (with 2 X server nodes each)
The 1st application server that starts is usually the one that is used for inbound messaging.
We have looked at the sap gateway configuration and have tried various options without much luck:
i.e.: local gateways vs. one central gateway, load balancing type by changing parameter gw/reg_lb_level, see: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/bb/9f12f24b9b11d189750000e8322d00/frameset.htm
Here are our release levels:

Shared object and different application servers - how to resolve this issue

Dear SDN Members,
We are occuring a big problem. We create a shared object in a program and after we call in an another one. In central system architecture, it is working well. But on a distributed architecture (4 application servers), we have a dump some times. In fact, the read of the shared object can be occured in the AS 4 but the share object has been created in AS1.
How to manage this problem to avoid this dump ?
Dupplicate the shared object in the application servers ?
Encapsulate different calls with RFC link to only one AS ?
Any parameters on server or share objects ?
Thanks a lot for your help,
Points will be given to right or good answers.
Br,
Aurélien

What is the dump you are getting ?
AFAIK, "Shared Memory"(SHM) is an area defined in the app server. I am not sure if you can access SHM of a different app server (as in your case trying to access SHM of AS1 from AS4). [http://help.sap.com/abapdocu_70/en/ABENSHARED_MEMORY_GLOSRY.htm]
In this case you can opt for "DataBase Clusters". Relevant ABAP statements: [IMPORT|http://help.sap.com/abapdocu_70/en/ABAPIMPORT_MEDIUM.htm#!ABAP_ALTERNATIVE_4@4@]/[EXPORT|http://help.sap.com/abapdocu_70/en/ABAPEXPORT_DATA_CLUSTER_MEDIUM.htm#!ABAP_ALTERNATIVE_4@4@] FROM/TO DATABASE.
Hope this helps.

Splitting a background job over different application servers

I am running my program in the background and its taking long to complete. I have done some optimizations and it has greatly improved but still not running as fast as I want because its processing large amounts of data and the amount of time that I want all the data to be processed is little compared to the runtime of the program so now I want to split the background job over different application servers. Can someone tell me how do I go about doing that and example ABAP code will be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks

Hello, If you are interested in BANK_PP_JOBCTRL, here are some of the inputs. Its work very efficeintly, though you will have to investigate a little bit froom your end.
With in package bank_pp_jobctrl , you will find these FM. I have mentioned the use of it as well.
RBANK_PP_DEMO_GENERATE_DATA: To create the Business data for Parallel Processing.
RBANK_PP_DEMO_CREATE_PACKMAN: To create Packages out of the business data.
RBANK_PP_DEMO_START : To process data in parallel.
RBANK_PP_DEMO_RESTART: To re-process failed records during parallel Processing.
You will need to call above in your report program in the same sequence as shown above based on you requirement. I did used only first three.
TO generate events you will need to execute SE38: RBANK_PP_GENERATE_APPL to create application this will create the FM with numbers as shown below.
Events: This PPF automatically triggers various events during the execution of theStart Program. Each of this event is associated with a custom function module which contains the business logic.
For implementing this framework, at least the below mentioned methods should be implemented .
0205 – Create Package Templates : This method is used to write the logic for creating packages which in turn decides the data to be processed in parallel. This function module is called in loop at the loop ends only when the exporting parameter E_FLG_NO_PACKAGE has a value ‘X’ passed back to the Parallel processing framework.
1000 – Initialize Package :This method is the first step in processing a package. It fetches all the parameters required for the parallel processing to start. All the parameters are passed to this FM as importing parameters and it is the responsibility of this FM to save it in global parameters so that it can be utilized by Parallel processing framework.
1100 – Selection per Range : This method is used to read data for a package. The objects selected must be buffered in global data areas of the application for later processing. The package information is stored as interval in global parameters and this information is used to select the package specific data.
1200 – Selection for Known Object List: This method is used instead of method 1100 if it is a restart run. The objects to be processed are known already.
1300 – Edit Objects: The processing logic to be implemented using parallel processing for the selected objects is written in this method. This function module is used to implement the business logic and
Also, obiviously you would like to log your messages , so the framwrok provides macros to do it.
Let me know if you need some further help as I know there is very little information provided on this.

How to create multi connections using JCO in different application servers

Hi all,
I want to connect to sap using jco from different servers at the same time.
There are 3 Jave application servers now. But I can only connect the sap servers using ONE server ( random ) at same time. It means when one server connect to sap , the other 2 servers CANNOT connect to sap.
Anyone konw what wrong?
Thanks in advance.

Get the Cookie Value from Different Application Servers

Hi All,
I am using the two applications with different application servers. How to get the cookie values from one to another application. Shall i know any sample codes?
Thanks
Maalan

A cookie carries a domain name. The browser will only return cookies whose domain matches to domain to which the request is made, however although you can use a partial domain name providing it's not too generic. So, when you add a cookie you need to explicitly set the domain name on the cookie to, for example, your company suffix like ".acme.com", then the cookie should be returned to all the servers under that domain e.g. server1.acme.com and server2.acme.com.

Multiple Application Servers - Same class instance

Hi,
Due to increasing load we have to add multiple Web Servers and Application Servers (custom built) for our Web Application.
As currently we are using 'synchronized' for adding and releasing connection in ConnectionPool and also using static in several other classes - we have to make these few classes single instance across the application servers.
We are using iPlanet 6.0 for Win 2000. Is there any way we can direct specific classes for a single instance. Please provide me with all sorts of alternatives.
Thanks a lot,
Suman Biswas

Hi,
Yes, we have different JVMs. Different JVM means different processes,now there can be two cases,these process running on same machines
or on different machines.If it is in different machines then undoubtly you require to go for the Distributed Technology(RMI for java).
As we have couple of classes which are using
'synchronized' - cann't we use centralized classes for
these couple of classes to maintain integrity?Yes you can do it,now this centralized class should be available in common place from where your all applications can get results,and for avoiding the data corruption your require to go for synchronized(if some global variables) block,since the same instance will be serving all the requests.
When you say RMI - my question is how the commercial products handle these kind of issues while they are in multiple servers?I have created some application using RMI but not the same one which you had specified.I had used it for different purpose.

WDA application on virtual host (port)

Hi,
is there a way how to deploy (create) a webdynpro application on a virtual host (port)? As I generate a webdynpro application, SAP creates a service under default host (port). I need to have my application accessible only on virtual host (port) - different to default. Therefore alias cannot be used. I haven't found any parameter how to set this port when I create a WDA application in SE80.
I'm looking for some system setting or configuration, not application solution.
Thanks.
Petr

Without adding a virtual host, did you try using the following arrangement?
Port 80
Listen 77777
No virtual host is used here assuming you have only one application - which is this form application whose physical port is 7777.
thanks,
AMN

How do the application servers connect the new database after failing over from primary DB to standby DB

How do the application servers connect the new database after failing over from primary DB to standby DB?
We have setup a DR environment with a standalone Primary server and a standalone Physical Standby server on RHEL Linux 6.4. Now our application team would like to know:
When the primary DB server is crashed, the standy DB server will takeover the role of primary DB through the DataGuard fast failover. As the applications are connected by the primary DB IP before,currently the physical DB is used as a different IP or listener. If this is happened, they need to stop their application servers and re-configure their connection so the they coonect the new DB server, they cannot tolerate these workaround.
Whether does oracle have the better solution for this so that the application can automatically know the role's transition and change to the new IP without re-confige any connection and shutdown their application?
Oracle support provides us the answer as following:
==================================================================
Applications connected to a primary database can transparently failover to the new primary database upon an Oracle Data Guard role transition. Integration with Fast Application Notification (FAN) provides fast failover for integrated clients.
After a failover, the broker publishes Fast Application Notification (FAN) events. These FAN events can be used in the following ways:
Applications can use FAN without programmatic changes if they use one of these Oracle integrated database clients: Oracle Database JDBC, Oracle Database Oracle Call Interface (OCI), and Oracle Data Provider for .NET ( ODP.NET). These clients can be configured for Fast Connection Failover (FCF) to automatically connect to a new primary database after a failover.
JAVA applications can use FAN programmatically by using the JDBC FAN application programming interface to subscribe to FAN events and to execute event handling actions upon the receipt of an event.
FAN server-side callouts can be configured on the database tier.
FAN events are published using Oracle Notification Services (ONS) and Oracle Streams Advanced Queuing (AQ).
=======================================================================================
Who has the experience and the related documentation or other solutions? we don't have the concept of about FAN.
Thank very much in advance.

                    <driver name="oracle" module="com.oracle.jdbc">

                </drivers>

If the failover is occurred, the JBOSS will automatically be pointed to the standby DB. Additional actions are not needed.

Multiple PIA/Application servers to one database?

We're planning an upgrade to PT 8.50, FSCM 9.1 and with this upgrade we want to add access for outside customers/vendors. What's the best way to configure an internal employee site/app, and a customer site/app to one production database? Is it as simple as installing different application servers and PIAs, point them all to the one database, and configure 1 PIA as EMPLOYEE and the others as CUSTOMER? Or should we also need use Portal 9.0? I've been doing some research into this, but was hoping to hear some real-world experience and advice from anyone else that's set up anything similar.
Thanks,
-rob

you can have a PIA built for outside customers hitting the same database.
you can even have separate PIA hitting same app servers and db.
If you are planning on having an external site outside your firewall - for CUSTOMER (portal) make sure the external site is built to work only for CUSTOMER portal.
u might also want to design your customer ID base - using specific permissions and roles.
hope this helps.

Session cleanup issue with multiple Application servers

Hi ,
I am facing a strange problem with multiple application servers. The java Webdynro session does not get cleaned up completely when user closes the browser ( without using logoff ). On re-login it gets handle of old session and then fails for consecutive view on other webdynpro iviews with an invalid session error. It again starts working with a refresh event.
Any ideas/suggestion if you have seen something similar before ?
Thanks and regards,
Amit.

Hi Amit
It seems that issues is not server related, but caused by your client browser. I know, for example, that IE8.0 keeps user session even if two separate browser instances opened on the same client machine. IE 7.0 and lower behave differently - they are separate user sessions per browser instance.

2 Application Servers on Same machine

Hi
I have installed 2 Applicaton Servers on same machine for getting dual language Support 'English as well as Arabic'. Both Application Servers have the same Report Server Name, now i want to rename or change the report server name of one application server.
how can i do?
Rename Report Server's name
Thanks
Najeeb.

Hi Najeeb,
Which version of AS you have?.
I think the url which I sent it to U will help you to solve your problem.
If you decide to install new Rep. server (version 10g) U can do it on the same server but in another directory. the new one will have different ports than the old one's.
Cheers,
Hamdy

Do all the weblogic application servers need to share storage in order to implement high availability?

I would like to understand if a shared storage is required for all application servers that will run weblogic + oracle identity manager. I've been using the following oracle guides : http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E40329_01/doc.1112/e28391/iam.htm#BABEJGID and http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/availability/maa-deployment-blueprint-1735105.pdf and from my interpretation both talk about configuring all the application servers with access to a shared storage. From an architecture standpoint, does this mean all the application servers need access to an external hard disk? if shared storage is required what are the steps to implement it?
Thanks,
user12107187

You can do it and it will work. But Fusion Middleware products have EDG to provide guidelines to help you to implement high availability.
Having a shared storage will help you to recover from storage failure, otherwise this might be a point of failure.
Enterprise Deployment Overview
"An Oracle Fusion Middleware enterprise deployment:
Considers various business service level agreements (SLA) to make high-availability best practices as widely applicable as possible
Leverages database grid servers and storage grid with low-cost storage to provide highly resilient, lower cost infrastructure
Uses results from extensive performance impact studies for different configurations to ensure that the high-availability architecture is optimally configured to perform and scale to business needs
Enables control over the length of time to recover from an outage and the amount of acceptable data loss from a natural disaster
Evolves with each Oracle version and is completely independent of hardware and operating system "

Starting multiple application servers

We have 4.7 system has 2 application servers as "sap1" and "sap2" installed in different Unix servers.
I would like to start "sap1" first and "sap2" next. Is there any standard script for starting multiple application servers in a sequence. We have problem, when restarting servers after weekly off-line backup. Should we go for customised Unix shell scripting?.
Thanks,
Sam
