What causes "Timed out server" in WL Cluster and a question about session in WL Cluster

 Hi.
 We are using Weblogic 5.1 with SP 8. We have been encountering a problem in our
 clustered environment. We setup our (clustered)environment to have 3 instances(WL1,
 WL2, WL3) of weblogic running in one box. When one instance, let say WL1, responds
 to a request(1st request for a session), the session is binded to that instance
 till the session is terminated/expired. Which means succeeding request for that
 session can only be served by WL1(we tried stopping WL1 but WL2 and WL3 wont accept
 the request--which only causes the page to time out). Shouldnt it behave in such
 a way that other instances can get serve the request(failover)?
 Also, occasionally we encounter "Time out server" in one of the instance of WL.
 When this happens, that instance no longer takes in requests. Would anyone know
 what causes "Time out server"? Does it only happen in clustered environment?
 Need some help ASAP.
 Tnx in adv.


 What do you have in front of WebLogic for Load Balancing?
 What are the IP addresses/hostnames of your three instances? What hostname are
 you using in your http requests? Is your DNS configured to do failover?
 Make sure that you have session replication turned on. See the edocs.bea.com.

What causes a managed server to start or not to start

Hi,
I'm investigating a problem we have with an environment where a managed server was not running after the machine was restarted. Now I am testing it on a standalone testing environment and I can boot the machine and everything is starting automatically. Is a node manager configured automatically to start a managed server by default when installing weblogic? Until now we mostly started the managed server through the console. We use WLS 8.1.

Do we need to set up Name Server?

Hi all,
I am creating a Software Component in the SLD. During one of the steps, it request us to setup the Name Server. May I know what is the use for this name server? Can we do without the Name Server? And if we cannot, how do we configure the Name Server? And how do we know what type of name server to create?
Thanks in advance.
Regards

Hi,
You can leave it. It is used declaring it as the name server for the development infrastructure. In this case, the role of the server must be name server. The name server checks the uniqueness of names and enables you to define name prefixes. The name server is a role of a SLD. The other role is the landscape server role. The setup of the name server takes place in the same way as the setup of the SLD server.
So when you create your project in NWDS using NWDI track then the name will come as the prefix of the project. If you want to use name server you need to registerit. For more information see the note SAP Note 710315. Here is a link I think it will clear you enough.

Host name (server name)

Who can tell me what the host name (server name) is that I need to use when I add my Apple e-mail address on my iPhone?
I already have a hotmail.com address on my iPhone. So I wanted to add my Apple [email protected] e-mail address.
Thank you.

Hi,
Even I faced same issue and able to discover it. One of the reasons for Axis "faultString: (400)No Host matches server name localhost" is due to invalid/wrong TargetEndpointAddress. Please check the TargetEndpointAddress URL in call.setTargetEndpointAddress( endpointURL ), endpointURL should be your service published path (.wsdl file).
Cheers!

What's the name of my Oracle Management Server?

I have just completed a new installation of Oracle 9i DB Ver 9.01 along with the related Oracle Management Server. I can log into the Oracle Enterprise Manager OK, but I can't log in to the Oracle Management Server.
The problem is that the login requires me to provide the name of the Management Server, and I don't recall ever being asked to assign a name to the Management Server during the installation process.
The names relevant to my database installation are:
Host server name: Tower100
Database name: TOWER
Service_Name: Tower.LinFamily
Repository DB Name: TowerRep
Repository SID: TowerRep
I have tried all these names, and they don't work. I have tried logging using the user names 'system' and 'RepAdmin' (the user name I assigned for the repository), and they don't work.
I have looked through the installation documentation and I can't find anything on this subject.
I would appreciate any help on this problem. Thanks.
Tony Lin

David,
Thanks for your response.
Yes, I am running Win2000 Server. I checked Component Services and verified that both Management Server and Agent are processes set in automatic mode and started.
David, my problem is that logging in to Management Server requires me to enter the Name of the Management Server. What is the "Name" of my Management Server? I don't understand what this means as I do not recall ever being asked to name my Management Server when I installed it.
The names relevant to my database installation are:
Host server name: Tower100
Database name: TOWER
Service_Name: Tower.LinFamily
Repository DB Name: TowerRep
Repository SID: TowerRep
Are any of these the "Name" of my Management Server?
I have tried all these names, and they don't seem to work.
Also, when you say the default account name, do you mean the account "SERVICE" with the default password?
Tony Lin
Tony,
If you installed on Windows then you will want to make sure that the Management Server and Intelligent Agent services are started in the Services Control Panel first.
Otherwise if you are using a UNIX server, you may need to start the mangement server manually. Here is a script I use to automate the startup process on Solaris:
http://www.dotcomsolutionsinc.net/products/installgen/sol_901_32bit_files/installgen_sol901_12_.html
From the Enterprise Manager Console login window you can click on the icon to the right of the Management Server field, click on the Add button, then enter the hostname of the management server to add it.
If the Management server is running, then you should be able to log in using the default account the first time, then create your administrator accounts.

What is the function of "Name Server"?

We have a two server Cluster. Each server runs a SIA Node with a CMS and all of the typical Servers.
On Server1, if I look at the Metrics for any of my Servers (except CMS) it looks like this:
   Machine Name: Server1.domain.com
   Name Server: Server2.domain.com:6400
On Server2, it looks like this (all local):
   Machine Name: Server2.domain.com
   Name Server: Server2.domain.com:6400
I'm trying to understand why the servers on Server1 have a Name Server on the other side of the Cluster. What is this function? Is this correct? Does it have anything to do with where the IFR/OFR is running? Or maybe the sequence on which server starts first?
The CMS Server on both of my Servers uses the Cluster Name for Name Server.

Richard,
If the BO Application is installed on single machine, It could be called standard/standalone installation.
If the BO Application services scattered across the different system then called "Extended/Distributed Environment". When BO applications are scattered different system is referred as a NODE.
I guess your BO Application is deployed on 2 nodes, In order to bind two different BO application systems together SAP has given wonderful concept called clustering.
Cluster will bind 2 or more applications with single (CMS)repository and single IFRS/OFRS destination.
Whenever you install BO Application, it asks you want to standalone installation or you want to join existing cluster.
In your environment. The second machine has got BO installed first and first machine has got installed second while installing second time on first machine it had asked to whether you want to join existing cluster then your BO admin has been given second machine.
Thats why you would able to see second machine nameserver on both machines
Usually the BO Application servers are distributed based on their category.
The BO4 platform mainly categorised as below
1. Web Application tier (Tomcat): Web Application tier is the tier that hosts server side components to handle user requests from Client tier and pass to Intelligence tier of underlying system for processing.
2. Intelligence tier (BO services) is heart of Business Objects Enterprise system. It handles user requests, navigates them to appropriate server, maintain security information, audit information and stores report instances. BOE intelligence layer is composed of Central Management Server (CMS), File Repository Servers and Event Server.
3. Processing tier ( BO services) interacts directly with database and generates reports. Processing layer is composed of Job Servers, Web Intelligence processing servers, Crystal processing servers, Dashboard servers.
As best practices for the better performance, we need to have Distributed deployment( each tier needs to be placed in each server) for better performance.

Global query block is causing a DNS server to fail a query with error code Name Error exists in the DNS database for WPAD

Global query block is causing a DNS server to fail a query with error code Name Error exists in the DNS database for WPAD on a Windows 2008 server.

The global query block list is a feature that prevents attacks on your network by blocking DNS queries for specific host names. This feature has caused the DNS server to fail a query with error code NAME ERROR for wpad.contoso.com. even though data
for this DNS name exisits in the DNS database. Other queries in all locally authoritative zones for other names that begin with labels in the block list will also fail, but no event will be logged when further queries are blocked until the DNS server
service on this computer is restarted.

Whats my name server address

keep unexplained lingo to a minimum for the novice webber
i don't know what a url is
i just want to tell my domain registering company (awesomenet) my name server address for my iweb site so i can use my pre-existng domain name to send inquiries to this iweb site
thanks
mike

Question 1: Do you have a .Mac account?
If you do your url (web address) for your iweb site will be http://web.mac.com/your.username
It is possible for you to use url forwarding so that when people enter the address of your already existing website, they automatically get forwarded to your iweb address. However, the iweb address will show up in the address field, which means that if people want to bookmark your page, they will end up bookmarking the iWeb page as opposed to your original predefined address.

What is a Dhcp name server and why is it on my Mac

I understand this is connected to Microsoft; it is on my iPhone 6 as part of my wifi set up but we have all Apple products.
Can someone explain?

DHCP is is a setting and has nothing to do with Microsoft.
A domain name server translates urls like www.wikipedia.org into their IP addresses so your iPhone or computer can connect to them and display the website among several other things.
Its perfectly normal to have that setting.

Name server problem on install

Hello,
just wondering if anyone can help - haven't had too much (very little) experience with solaris (or unix for that matter).
When installing Solaris 10 from cd (sparc) I get to the 'Confirm Information' screen, click confirm and it comes back with an error stating that 'The Name Server information entered is incorrect'.
The problem is that the NS's I entered are exactly the same as the NS's on my windows machine - also hooked up to the same router.
If I accept the supposed incorrect settings and continue the install everything completes ok - except the system can't resolve names. Here's the really strang bit - I can do an nslookup of www.google.com no problem (returning from the first NS entered) but can't do a lookup of anything else.
The DNS's are external to my network (supplied by ISP) and the connection is ADSL.
Other options set in setup : DHCP - no (Static public subnetted IP), Kerberos - no, Search Domain : none, Route :specified, ipv6 - no.
(during setup)The Solaris Install Console shows:
Completing system identification...
runCmd error in /usr/sbin/sysidput with output:
Unable to run cmd: /usr/sbin/sysidput
Any help would be much appreciated. (and apologies if this is something I should have picked up on in the docs - I did read as much as I could and I have searched the net for an answer to this)(I have also posted this on the install forum, but got no replies)
Gar

You should provide a bit more info on how your network is setup. How are you connected to the ADSL? Does your router have DHCP?
The DNS information you fill in during install is not ment for external DNS servers it's your local networks DNS server.
It is used to verify that the hostname you entered exists in the network/domain.
You could of course fill in external dns servers, but you'd allways end up with a 'can't resolv'. Simply because YOUR hostname does not excist on the external DNS server.
As Codename47 suggests, try not filling in a dns server. (use the hosts file instead)
Just an extra tip that appearantly some don't seems to know:
you don't have to reinstall to get it sorted. The command 'sys-unconfig' will force a reboot and guide you through the exact same configuration menu you had during install. Updating all locale, X and network settings along the way.
The nice thing is you can do it over again till you get it right and fully understand what it all means and changes.

Asynchronous reserve finally failed: missing name server configuration

Hi,
can anybody give me a hint why we get these errors?
"asynchronous reserveFinally failed: missing name server configuration, no logon known -> operation will be retried name reservation : name server=http://sapcoe01.bbn.hp.com:50000/, category=SAP_DevelopmentComponentName, name=hp.com/appl/tax, reservationKey=63415681, state=FINALIZE_PENDING"
The development objects are listed in SLD with status PRERES. The Name Server location is configured in DTR with the logon data. The name server is also listed in the development configuration.
Where else could be the cause for this error?
Many thanks for any hints!

Hi Martin,
Here you can see the *_PENDING items: http://<host>:50000/dtr/sysconfig/support/NameReservationList
And here you can configure the name server: http://<host>:50000/dtr/system-tools/administration/NameServerConfiguration
The solution is to define your name server a second time with a slightly different URL. The first entry you already defined probably uses the fully qualified hostname, e.g. http://<host>.mycompany.com:50000/sld/cimom. Define the same name server again but without the domain and without the /sld/cimom path, e.g. http://<host>:50000/. Actually it should correspond to what's shown in the error message, e.g. "operation will be retried name reservation : name server=http://<host>:50000/,". When you click Save Configuration, the pending items in the queue will be processed. The only problem we have left is that "after some time" the 2nd entry we just defined dissapears and we need to configure it again (and again and again...)
Kind regards,
Sigiswald

What should I name my virtual machine?

I'm planning to build a virtual SQL Server in Azure. Given that we'll likely want to build a new/replacement in 3-5 years (with whatever new OS and SQL Server version exist then), what should I name the server?
Before Azure, when we had everything internal at our company, we would name it, e.g. SRV001 and then create a DNS alias called whatever we liked, and then pointed it at SRV001. And then, when we were ready to start building the replacement, we could
name the new one SRV002 and (when ready to make the switch) simply point the DNS at the new one.
But in Azure, I don't think I'll be using DNS. Or will I? If not, what do I do about the naming thing? If I name this first one meaningful (and use the name in connection strings, etc), then I don't know what I'll do when ready to start
building the replacement down the road.
Any advice appreciated.

Hi,
In Azure, if you don't define a DNS server for a Virtual network, then the created VM would use the Azure public DNS server by defaut.
You can create a virtual network and then create a VM with a static internal IP address within that virtual network, then you can add the internal IP address of that VM as a DNS server for that virtual network. After that, you can add the DNS server
role on that VM and use it as a internal DNS server.
However, if you want to perform external DNS resolution, you also need to add an Azure public DNS server as a DNS server for the virtual network.
More information:
Add or Remove DNS Servers for a Virtual Network
Configure a Static Internal IP Address for a VM

Susie

Siebel Gateway Name Server Configuration Wizard returns "Execution failed"

Hi,
I am installing Siebel 8.1.1.1 on Linux platform and now having problem while trying to configure Siebel Gateway Name Server.
Steps done:
1) DB instance prepared
2) Created Siebel installation image
3) Installed Siebel server and configured Gateway name server (the wizard started automatically as part of the installation). Skip configuration of Enterprise and SWSE Logical profile
4) Ran DB Configuration Wizard for the primary language - successfully. Import repository-add language - successfully.
5) Trying to Wizard "Configure Enterprise" - failed with "Execution failed"
Here I thought that probably Gateway Nameserver was not configured and decided to remove the Gateway and create it from scratch.
Unfortunately this time the Gateway configuration failed. Also with message"Execution failed"
Here are the errors I got in the log files sw_cfg_util*.log

Searching in Metalink and Google were fruitless..
Thank you in advance.

Just in case anybody bumps in this thread:
The problem in my case was solved according with Oracle Note "Delete and create the "Siebel Server" via Configuration Wizard on Linux, it failed. [ID 880562.1]"
Applies to:

Symptoms
Delete the "Siebel Server" once and then create a new "Siebel Server" via Siebel Server Configuration Wizard on Linux, it failed with message "Execution Failed".
The error on sw_cfg_util_xx.log is as follows,
GenericLog GenericError 1 0000ce524a3a1bd2:0 2009-06-19 10:18:33 Executing step: AddSrvrRegistryEntry

GenericLog GenericError 1 0000ce524a3a1bd2:0 2009-06-19 10:18:35 Failed during Execution, err: 5500044
Reproduce steps:
- confirm that siebel server was created before, and is stopping.
- create sh env and enter the following command to remove the Siebel Server.
+$ cd $(SiebelServerRoot)+
+$ . ./cfgenv.sh+
+$ cd $(SiebelServerRoot)/bin+
+$ ./ssincfgw+
- select "3 - Remove Existing Configuration".
- complete the configuration wizard.
- enter the following command to create the Siebel Server.
+$ cd $(SiebelServerRoot)+
+$ . ./cfgenv.sh+
+$ cd $(SiebelServerRoot)/bin+
+$ ./ssincfgw+
- select "1 - Create New Configuration".
- continue inputs to finish and execute the configration.
+==> you'll find "Execution Failed".+
Cause
AddSrvrRegistryEntry section shown in the log is the command for registering the Windows Service, and it is no need to execute on Linux env. However, it is executed and it failied.
Solution
You can do either of follows,
+(1) Uninstall and Install the Siebel Server again.+
+(2) The section to execute the Windows registeration command is specified on $(SiebelServerRoot)/admin/common.scm, line 2475-2477.+
+[Step]+
Name = AddSrvrRegistryEntry
Type = RunProg %%SiebelRoot%%%%OSDirSeparator%%bin%%OSDirSeparator%%siebctl ' -r %%SiebelRoot%% -q -S siebsrvr -i "%%SiebelEnterprise%%:%%SiebelServer%%" -a -g "-g %%SiebelGateway%% -e %%SiebelEnterprise%% -s %%SiebelServer%% -u %%Username%%" -e %%Password%% '
So, delete the AddSrvrRegistryEntry section from common.scm, and execute Configuration Wizard again.
