What we need server group?

Hi!
I used to use Oracle but now switch to SQL server for SAP.
Could you explain why SQL needs server groups? That means one Database on multiple NT servers?
Thanks!

Hi,
SQL Server server groups are just a way to logically organize different DBs in the Management Studio. Have a look at BOL to find out more.

What could mean "server group"

What could mean server group. I have to specify when running a program in background(probably this is not a group in "smlg"as this partains to dialog processing

I think you're refering to SAP RFC server group
Similar to load distribution of user logins with logon groups, there is a mechanism for load distribution of RFCs
This is needed to achieve parallelization to achieve higher performance
To avoid overloading a dialog instance with too many simultaneous RFCs, it uses the resources of all existing dialog instances optimally. Hence you refine RFC server groups.
Use RZ12 to maintain RFC groups.
Create a group & assign single/multiple instances to this group

You don't need a server, you just need a web hosting package such as the ones from GoDaddy or many other hosts. You then send the web gallery directly from LR to your web space.
As you're asking such basic questions, it might be best if you read articles like this and see if a friend or colleague can get you started.

Two questions: how do Skype and iChat compare for group video? quality, reliability, cost, etc are important. 2) Is my MobileMe ID what I need to use in the window in making an iChat buddy? It only says AIM above the window, online tutorial differs.

Hi,
IChat uses better Video Compression than Skype does.
On a top flight Mac you can send a 640 X 480 pixel frame up to 30 frames a sec.
Skype can't match this.
iChat in Video is Peer to Peer. (you can actually Log out of the Buddy list)
Skype seems to borrow something from everyone's bandwidth to make connections.
What do you mean by Business account Tracking ?
iChat Adds (or can add) the First Name, Last Name of your Buddies and create an Address Book Entry
Whether you mark those cards connected with a company is up to you.
(I have heard of issues with earlier version of iChat and the Address Book that "saw" the Company Name as the part of the Name and linking several Screen Names to the one name
Audio on a Mac using Skype tend to be the same as the streaming needs are less.
However you have to rely on any PCs audio abilities from PCs which may not be to the same standard.
Mac to PCs in iChat and AIM can be difficult though. (It should work but it rarely as simple as Plug and go)
Skype may suit your needs better on ocassions.

Is OS X Server What I Need?

Hi,
I've a low traffic iWeb site, and a relatively large mailing list, managed through phpList. I would maybe like to enalrge my website, and inlcude a forum too,a dn am wondering if having my own server is the asnwer. Currently I'm running into problems with daily email limits, which cause me to schedule emails to go out over along period of time.
Is OS X Server what I need? I'm a little unclear when I look at the documentaiton. For example, I see nothing like and admin center for manging my site and its backend.
Thanks,
Inoshi

OS X Server is a Unix server. Like Unix, Linux, HP-UX, AIX, Solaris and other such services, OS X Server systems can be configured for and can be accessed via remote networking protocols including generic IP networking, via L2TP or PPTP VPN, ARD/VNC, telnet or (better) ssh, and via HTTP/HTTPS web services protocols. Other configurations are possible. You could probably even configure and use IPoAC to access the server, if you really wanted to go to the effort involved in that network transport.
Running a server system is inherently more complex than running a client system. Even OS X Server, which is easier than most other servers around. You're still expected to know about server computing, IP networking and routing, definitely about setting up and running local DNS, about DHCP, network gateway-firewall-router boxes, network security, VPNs and other such details. Network clients use services provided by servers, so — if you're running a server — you get to know more about setting up for and running both the server itself, and about the services you're now providing to the client systems. (I've posted an intro to some of this here.)
Now if you wanted to host your own mail server or your own secured HTTPS web services or related, then you'd want a static IP connection. (Most ISPs don't allow servers on dynamic, DHCP service tiers, and — for those that do — getting these and related services working involves some hackery, and use of outside relay services.) This isn't specific to OS X Server, this is a generic IP addressing expectation of the protocols involved, and whether or not your particular ISP has opened or has firewalled the network protocols involved for your particular tier of service.
If you're working with a dynamic IP connection from your ISP, your options are rather more limited, and you and your ISP can be working at cross purposes.

when am trying to restore my iphone it says iphone cannot be activated because activation server cannot be reached what i need to do now?

The servers are getting slammed. Bunch of people trying to download iOS7 at the same time.
There is a chance activation servers might be down/slow for now. Just keep trying throughout the day. Some other forum users are experieincing similar things.
You can also try the apple document for activation issues, but I'd assume its server issues. http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3424

Does oracle have a solution for what i need?

Can anyone help because i am confused about Oracles offerings!
In my organisation where use Staffware v9 (now TIBCO, and not the iprocess engine) as the workflow backbone. Relatively simple process maps with background steps calling SQL code to perfom updates and return case data variable settings and foreground steps mapping to oracle forms. v9 is client server with limited API set so uses DDL calls with parameter passing and timers to communicate, but used the better API interfaces in the past. Currently on Oracle 10g at the moment, plans to go to 11g, but not holding my breath on this as we would need some infrastructure changes.
The client server nature of the TIBCO product and the fact that it uses flat files for transactional processing means that it is no longer suitable for our needs, and i want to replace it with an alternative. As we are an oracle shop, a suitable oracle product would be ideal, but unlike the (admittedly sparse) documentation on the old oracle workflow, the new stuff confuses the hell out of me as it seems so wrapped up with SOA concepts (something we are NOT interested in at the moment) and with the addition of some what conflicting BPM and BAM tools as well, there also seems no clear direction. TIBCO also want a lot of money to go to the new product
What i need is a tool to do the following
1) define users, access levels, group work queues with membership and supervisors
2) graphical process designer that can define PL/SQL interface steps, make available foreground tasks in the appropriate queues with APIs to access from the forms environment
3) workflow process management objects like
- decision based process routing on rule or data values
- sub procedure definitions
- external event APIs to control flow and update case data
- branching, joining and wait joins
- rules engines and dynamic process definition nice to have, but not critical
4) operational API for case starting, event issue, audit trail access etc.
5) APIs and repository held in the database
6) externally accessible database structure (ie: makes sense in sql) for reporting/management
I have worked with workflow systems for way too many years (years ago i was even on the Staffware advisory panel) so well up on how these systems work, and think that all of the above is pretty basic stuff, but (maybe just getting old) i cannot see how oracle are meeting what i see as the basics
any ideas?

I agree workflow is not SOA (Service Orientated Architecture). Oracle's strategic direction is BPEL / BPM, and Oracle workflow is moving to end of life.
BPEL is part of SOA Suite but you do have the option to buy standalone, it does have a prerequisite of weblogic suite though.
Although Oracle markets the product SOA Suite it does not mean you you have to develop a SOA architecture, you can still develop point to point interfaces as you do in workflow. SOA Suite just enables you get more reuse out of your existing systems, and future developments. If you want you can keep you workflow develop as it and integrate BPEL / SOA Suite with it.
Im sure you are very skilled in workflow but these skills are becomming very hard to find. They require strong PL/SQL skills and typically don't work with any other application or database without doing some customization. The fact that there is limited documentation shows that it is going to be difficult to upskill developers.
For the functionality Oracle provides in its BPM and SOA Suite I would say it is cheap, especially against our competitors. Also the more you buy the cheaper it gets.

Server group management

Hi,
When setting up an architecture where servers should be accessible only to a subset of the platform's users, e.g. geographically dispersed installations, SAP has always said to use server groups and assign the content (i.e. the reports) to the corresponding server group.
Example:
Reporting databases are deployed in Belgium and France
2 hosts containing processing servers are installed in each of those countries
Reports are restricted to one of the two server groups
While this setup works fine for existing reports, what do you do with ad-hoc reports? E.g. a user creates a new Web Intelligence report against a universe that pulls data from the database in Belgium. As far as I can tell, there's no way that you can make that report use the processing server in Belgium. Instead, it will randomnly use a processing server that's available to handle its request.
Also, using server groups this way requires your users to set the processing server after they save the report for the first time, or create custom code based on the SDK that will assign the server group.
I've run into the same problem with deployments where there's a requirement to have processing servers dedicated to departments. As far as I can tell, there's no way to do this as there's no link between user and server (i.e. it's not possible to define which users or user groups have access to a server group).
I was hoping the multi-tenant feature in BI4 would provide some way around this, but it seems that's not how it works.
Any input regarding this type of setup is very welcome! Thanks.
Kind regards,
Kristof Speeckaert

Hi,
Thanks for your input.
I tried this in the past, but just to be sure, I did the following setup again (BI4 SP05):
Created two servers groups
Server group 1:
WebI Processing Server 1
Connectivity Adaptive Processing Server
WebI Adaptive Processing Server
Server group 2:
WebI Processing Server 2
Connectivity Adaptive Processing Server
WebI Adaptive Processing Server
Created one user group with one user in it
Denied access to server group 1 for the test group
The user group has full application and content rights
Scenario:
Logged on using the BI Launch pad
Opened and refreshed a sample WebI document
Brought the Webi Processing server in group 2 downOnly the WebI processing server in group 1 is up and running and the user group has no access to this server group.
Logged out and in again
Opened and refreshed the same sample document
Based on your suggestion, I shouldn't have been able to open nor refresh the sample document in step 5, however it worked without a problem.
This would mean that granting/denying users access to servers/server groups does not prevent them from using the server, in this case for opening and refreshing a WebI document.
Here's the relevant paragraph regarding server group access rights from the Administrator Guide:
You can use rights to grant people access to servers and server groups, allowing them to perform tasks such as starting and stopping servers.
If your server team needs to perform regular server maintenance tasks that require them to shut down and start up servers, you need to grant them rights to the servers. You may also want to delegate SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence platform server administration tasks to other people. Or you may want different groups within your organization to have control over their own server management.
Judging from this information, assigning rights to server groups should be used from administrative access to the servers, not to decide who get to use the server from an end-user perspective. The latter should be done by assigning server groups to documents/reports. However, this leaves us with the same problem when dealing with ad-hoc reports.
Kind regards,
Kristof Speeckaert

Server Groups - "Give Preference" vs "Only Use"

Hi All,
I'm working on a project where we want to have batches of reports being scheduled to specific server groups. Currently when these batches are run, the reports use the "first available server" option in CMC. This is problematic as the reports are just being scheduled to whatever server has the least load at the time, so on demand reports just have to wait until the long batches are over before they can be scheduled.
In CMC, there are two options for setting up server groups:
"Give preference to servers belonging to the selected group"
"Only use servers belonging to the selected group"
Our fix was to schedule these batches to server groups so that some of the servers would be available for on demand reporting. Since our goal is to have distinct server groups to help with load balance, we went with the "Only use" option. The functionality of this is pretty clear: Even if the needed servers (AJS) are disabled, stopped, or busy, the reports will still be scheduled to this server group. However, the functionality regarding the "Give preference" option is unclear.
My question is: Under what conditions would BusinessObjects switch to using a server not included in the server group if the "Give preference" option were used?
As far as documentation goes, the best answer I found was that the server would switch when the needed servers are "not available". What exactly does this mean?
When the server is disabled? (Assuming yes, this would be good for us)
When the server is stopped? (Assuming yes, this would be good for us)
When the server is busy? (No idea..., if yes, this would be bad)
If the server switches when the specified server is busy, then we just run into the same issue we had before, so we wouldn't want to do that. Does anyone have any insight into how this works so we can figure out which option to go with?
Thanks everyone!
Valentin Lazar

First reports will try to use the servers in the group, if they are not available, then it will go other servers.It may be disabled, or stopped.

CVP - SIP Server Groups and Redundant SIP Proxy (CUPS)

I am migrating from a CVP 7 + UCCE 7.5 solution which uses srv.xml files on the CVP servers to implement redundancy
from CVP to the SIP Proxies (which are CUPS based).
In the new CVP 8.5 + UCCE 8.5 solution, I am trying to set up equivalent redundancy, which
is now done via Server Groups.
The solution is geographically diverse, with one CVP server + a CUPS server (publisher) at Site1,
and the second CVP + CUPS server (subscriber) at site 2.
Previously (on CVP 7), I was able to configure each CVP server so that its priority was to use the CUPS server at its
"local" site. Hence there were 2 different srv.xml files, one for each CVP server.
To configure this in CVP 8.5, I would need 2 SIP Server groups, to give each CVP a group
configured to prefer the "local" CUPS server. But when I configure a SIP server group(s) pointing to CUPS, I seem to be only able
to get one single Server Group to work. That single Server Group only works if the server group name
matches exactly the Domain Name configured in CUPS. Since CUPS' Domain name is a single cluster wide name,
I can get only one Server Group working, not the two that I need.
So, where am I going wrong?
Regards.

Fairly new to CVP and had a question about how to configure the dialed number patterns so they point to more than 1 CUCM. My environment doesn't have a SIP Proxy or DNS Srv. That said, I tried to create as what was mentioned above - SIP Serve Group with 2 CUCM Subs then have a dialed number pattern point to it. However, when I initiate a call to an ICM script and eventually hit an agent, it flips between ready and reserve. When I change the dialed number pattern to point to a specific CUCM, it works fine. Followed all the aobve recommendations as well. Any idea how to make this work? Hoping I'm just missing something here...

Managing Server Groups by LDIF

I have a large number of replicated servers. I would like to assign them all to a number of server groups based on function and location.
Rather than manually creating the groups and populating them on each server is it possible to do this via LDIF?
if so what is the structure of the LDIF ie dn objectclasses etc?
Thanks

Workgroup Manager and MCX are deprecated. These technologies should only be used if you can not accomplish your tasks with Server.app and Profile Manager. If you have specific requirements that can not be satisfied in Server.app and Profile Manager you should send feedback to Apple.
So to your questions:
Should I be managing users with WorkGroup manager or server app, Whats the advantage?
I don't have user profiles (files) stored on the server they are local. That being the case, why does each user have a network folder on the server?
1: Ideally, no. Unless... You are supporting machines prior to 10.8.5 or can not find an equivalent function in Server.app and Profile Manager. There is no advantage to using it. Apple will eventually stop distributing it. It is available now for legacy support only. If you have a need for MCX management then WGM remains viable. But, ideally, you should be looking to Profile Manager.
2: This is because you created your accounts using Local Home Folder template instead of None - Services Only. The Local Home Folder template has the unfortunate side-effect of creating a user home folder on the server. I too dislike this. If you only want to use the accounts for services, then you should create the accounts using None - Services Only. By the way, it is safe to delete these home folders if you would like.

Moving forward - what's needed

Hello.
I am looking at what it will take to move from CR10 and Crystal Enterprise 10 Embedded to BO 11 or CR2008.
I currently use CR10 to create .RPT files. Classic ASP to gather parameters, and pass to the CR ActiveX viewer to view the .RPTs in a web browser. Users do not create or modify reports. There are a limited number of users viewing reports on an intranet web site.
We plan to use ASP.Net and Visual Studio Web Developer. I've read about a component in VS for viewing Crystal Report .RPT's.
What we are doing used to be called URL Reporting in CR.
What is needed to do this? What version of CR/BO and what version of VS is needed.
CR Server is way more than we need.
Thank you.

Hello,
Enterprise Embedded is an OEM product so not sure how you were using it unless you are/were an OEM Partner? If so you should call your account manager, they can get a OEM SC on the line to discuss with your product group what the best product to use for your deployment and needs.
Standard CR development products are bascially used for single users, if more than 5 users need to access reports you'll need to move to CRS Embedded ( OEM Only ) or CR Server and use RAS as your report processor.
For more info on what product will fit contact your account manager or have a look at this [link|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/7025839b-00d4-2b10-33b4-cf0aa9e08412]:
It defines what each product is capable of doing.
Thank you
