Windows to Linux Migration for Apps Server - 11.5.10

Hello all,
Am trying to migrate our app server from WIndows 2000 to RH Linux. Am using the metalink doc id 238276.1 for this. Am encountering an error
"RC-00216: The Context File does not exist. Exiting."
Am not able to proceed any further. Have verified file path and permissions. Have setup some parts of the environment on the target with path for AD_TOP, APPL_TOP, CONTEXT etc.
Has anyone completed such a migration successsfully? Any pointers will be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Vijay

Hi Vijay,
Yes I have.
What is the java and perl version being used?
1 - which java
2 - java --version
3 - which perl
4 - per --version
The contextfile has been copied from the windows system does it have the correct permissions? Open the file and check if you see ^M (they should not exist)
You are executing the command as follows:
perl /data/hrtc/hrtcappl/ad/11.5.0/bin/adclonectx.pl migrate java=/usr contextfile=/data/hrtc/hrtcappl/admin/hrtc1_hrdev.xml
try:
cd /data/hrtc/hrtcappl/ad/11.5.0/bin/
perl adclonectx.pl migrate java=/usr contextfile=/data/hrtc/hrtcappl/admin/hrtc1_hrdev.xml
Also the location of JDK_TOP (/usr) seems a bit strange to me.....as I would expect something like /usr/jdk1.3.x/
Thanks!

Migration 9i App Server R1 (1.0.2.2.1) to 10g App Server R2 (10.1.2.0.2)

Hi All,
I am new to Oracle application server. I am now studying for a case of migration from 9i App Server R1 (1.0.2.2.1) to 10g App Server R2 (10.1.2.0.2), it is a new box migration where the new app server is 10gR2. The 9i app server is enterprise edition and currently uses oracle forms and reports services.
The database underneath is Oracle as well(9i) which is also doing a migration to new box and new version(10gR2).
I can handle the db migration part, but I am not sure what approach I can take to migrate the app server.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.

Actually there is no need for export of forms and reports as the 10g compiler will do the conversion. However, depending on the codes, and properties used in the forms and report source codes, there may be some changes required to make them 10g compatible.
In an ideal situation, all you would have to do is take your existing forms and recompile using the 10g forms and reports compilers and that's it. However, it never works out so easily as there are a number of incompatibilities and some built-ins that are dropped.
Warning: Once you have recompiled the forms in 10g, the forms will no longer be compatible with the previous version.
In most cases the biggest time sink in the migration is identifying and correcting all the incompatibilities with a combination of scanning the forms and report source codes with a 3rd party tool like Formstool and manual eyeball checking.

Unable to create ear after installing Visual Cafe plug-in for app server 6 sp3.

Installed WebGain plugin for app server 6 sp3. Now anytime I attempt to add a war to an ear in the deployment tool I get the following: xml file or ias xml file missing. Make sure that source archive "d:\......war" is saved before dragging. Obviously I have done this, but has this IDE plugin changed the xml parsers to a different version that could be causing this? Has anyone else ran across this error?

Hi,
Can you confirm to me, if you are using Visual Cafe Enterprise 4.5.1
and iAS 6.0 SP3. Also let me know the the name & version of O/S please.
Regards
Raj

Seperate NT service for App server and Process Scheduler

Is it possible to create a separate NT service for App server and Process Schedule for the same environment? Everytime i need to shutdown either App Domain or Prcs Domain (not both) using service, it brings down both.
I could use psadmin but services run as a different user.
Please advise.

What PeopleTools release are you using? Off the top of my head, one strategy would be to use different PS_CFG_HOMEs for the App and the Process scheduler. The service points to the PS_CFG_HOME and reads the pswinsrv.cfg file to know what to start/stop. I'm not sure there is a way to override psntsrv and tell it to use a different config file, so you may need a different HOME. You could also create a script that wraps the service start/stop. It could edit/update the config file prior to stop/start and remove Process Scheduler from the config and then reinsert it later.
You could have a stop_app/start_app and stop_prcs/start_prcs script that would copy in specific versions of the pswinsrv.cfg file for what you want to do.

It's due to recon issue. OIM has many recon processes. One such process is LDAP-OIM sync job that runs behind the scene.
It may be an issue with the 'trigger table value' which recon job depends. If 'trigger table value' is not set properly, you may get this issue.
Do this workaround:

Will App Server 7 SE apps migrate to App Server 7 EE?

Will applications built on App Server 7SE or other platforms be
migrateable to AS 7EE and take full advantage of HA capabilities?

App Server 7SE and EE are fully J2EE compatible, thus migration is
seamless. With regard to HA, App Server 7EE provides HA of HTTP Session,
one needs to further examine the detail J2EE components used by the
application and the deployment topology to assure high availability.

How to get alert for app server that experienced high memory and CPU utiliz

Hi
How to get alerts configured and turned u201Conu201D for the app server that experienced high memory and CPU utilization?
And let me know where we can check this?

hi,
Have you configured a Central Monitoring System (CEN)? This includes registering the agent on the CEN, starting it and configuring the Central Auto Reactions on CEN using RZ21 transaction.

Installing policy agent 2.1.1 for app server 7

Hi,
I've been trying to install the policy agent on app server7. I read that the policy agent had to be installed on a different instance of the app server than the one where the portal is running (portal runs on instance server1). How can you make sure of that?
I'd like to use the agent to only control the access to a webapp that is deployed on server1 instance. I don't want it to interfere with the portal but at the moment it does.
Now I can't use the webapp (access forbidden) and the portal ("Authentication Service is not initialized").
all the components of JES but the gateway are installed on a single machine called crpbioweb.crp-sante.healthnet.lu
here is the statefile of the installation

There are 2 things I'd like to know:
How can I make sure the agent is installed on server2 instance and not on server1?
How do you choose to install the agent on server2?
If I correctly installed the agent on server2, then why does it block the webapp and the portal on server1?

Before installing the agent I already manually created a second instance of the app server on port 81. the problem is that I don't know how to install the agent on server2 instance. the only parameter that has something to do with port or instance is the "PREF_PORT". but according to the doc http://docs.sun.com/source/816-6884-10/chapter2.html#wp20595
it says that the Preferred protocol listening port is the preferred port number on which the application server provides its services.
I'm not quite sure what this means. Do I have to enter the port of the instance where I want to install the agent or the port I want to protect with the agent?
Another way to check if I installed it at the right place would be to check in the app server admin console. the installation created a new item in App server instance > server 1 > security > Realms. Do you know if this is the correct place to appear? or should it be in server2?
thanks

Windows to Linux Migration advantages for 10gR2 database

Hi
My client currently on windows environment,
now they want to migrate OS to linux.
So kindly help me to identify the advantages of migration to linux.
Regards
Shaik

833192 wrote:
Security wise what are the advantages available in Linux comparing with windows?Not to say that Linux is not targeted. But the basic advantage is that less attacks are aimed at Linux, than Windows. The latter is the de facto desktop o/s and as such is the taller tree that catches more of the wind and weather.
Besides that, both o/s's needs hardening after installation. Like Windows, Linux has a feature set that protects privilege programs against attacks (data/code injection) by unprivileged programs. It is called SELinux where SE stands for Security Enhanced.
Linux's default firewall is iptables and IMO a far better piece of software than the default Windows firewall. I even use iptables as a NAT load balancer for RAC.
How good security is, is however not about how "good" the o/s is. It is about how well you understand the risks. It is about how well you address these risks.
In other words, the only safe server is one without a stiffy drive, tape drive, DVD/CD drive, without any NICs, locked in a vault and thrown into the Puerto Rico Trench in the Atlantic ocean. ;-)
Any specific advantages are there for maintaining oracle database on linux environment?That would be a major issue in my environment. The Oracle servers I support are scattered across a very wide area and 1000's of km apart.
I need things like access (via various firewall) to Oracle servers, the ability to tunnel connections, persistent console sessions, a means to run GUI programs, powerful shell scripting, the ability to dynamically load and unload kernel drivers and a host more...
And Linux does this the best for me.
Disadvantages of windows for maintaining oracle database?That again depends on your environment and requirements. There are many Oracle sites that are very happily running Windows.
In my environment - Windows would be a major limitation. For example, in order for db-to-db connectivity across networks I've written a shell script that creates a tunnel between these servers, and configured that script as a kernel respawn daemon - meaning that should the tunnel die and script terminate, the kernel will detect that and auto restart the script. (Oracle RAC's high availability daemon is run the same way on Linux)
To do this in Windows? The Windows o/s is like a car with the hood of the car welded shut. So it requires a lot more effort to get certain things done and working. With Linux this is not the case. Heck, you can even build a kernel that are custom tailored for running your Oracle database and storage/network/interconnect drivers and nothing else. With Windows, just changing the HAL is a big deal.
The usual reaction I get when saying that we use Linux is along the lines of "+Linux is not as robust and scalable as heavy weight commercial o/s like Windows or Solaris or <insert-name-here>+".
And in actual fact, the reverse is true. The only robust and scalable o/s on this planet is Linux - if we go according to Top500.org that lists the o/s families of the biggest, baddest and fastest super computers in the world. 459 out of these 500 are running Linux. That is 91.8% of the world biggest and fastest clusters. A mere 5 (1%) are using Windows.
Bottom line is that Linux is more than just capable. It is not inferior to Windows - especially not when vast majority of the most advance computer systems in the world are running Linux and not Windows.

Windows to Linux migration

Hello,
I'm interested in performing a move of our ZCM 11 primary server from the
Windows 32 bit platform to Linux running 64 bit. Does anyone know where
I might find any documentation of guidelines on this process?
Paul

Whilst you say you want to move your "ZCM 11" server what's the exact
version of ZENworks that you're running?
Am I right in thinking that the move to 64-bit may be related to wanting
ZENworks 11 SP3?
Which OS (and version) do you have in mind for your (target) Linux server?
Whilst ZENworks only supports migrations between servers that have the
same OS (so Windows Server to Linux is not supported) that doesn't mean
it's not possible. Knowing the current and target versions will help us
advise further.
HTH.

SAPDB Migration for Content server

Hi Experts
we have a SAP content server 6.3 running on 32 bit windows on SAPDB 7.3 .
We are planning to move this to a Unix box ( AIX or Solaris .. not decided yet). Is there a comprehensive guide available about the procedure we need to follow ?
1. Do we need to upgrade the source DB before migration ?
2. As per MaxDB admin guide database copy from IA32 to unix does not work and as per note 962019 we need to use loadercli. Any tips on loadercli use would be welcome
3. Any relevant information from past experience of similar exercise
4. Does SAP support this migration if we do not buy the MaxDB migration service from SAP ?

Hi there,
> Note"962019" mentions that:
>
> "Note that the target system must be installed at least with 7.6.05 build 11. An upgrade to this version does not help. Stop the target system (shutdown) and delete the database instance (drop database). SAPinst provides the option 'uninstall'. Here, you are led through the uninstalling process. The repeat the software installation with 7.6.05 build 11 or higher."
Yep, this is necessary to make the handling of source databases possible, that still have the _UNICODE parameter set to FALSE.
> I can only find MAXDB 7.6.03 installation CD on SAP SWDC, no 7.6.05 build 11 or higher, can I install 7.6.03 first, then update patch to 7.6.05 or higher?
Actually you don't need the installation CD.
The "patch" package contains everything you need to perform a full installation.
MaxDB patches are not really patches but always full installations.
Therefore you can either use the SDBSETUP or SDBINST tool (make sure to get the path-settings for <indep_data>/<indep_programs>/<dependend_programs> right then!) or you replace the installation package on the 7.6.03 CD you have with the 7.6.05 installation package from the patch download page in the service marketplace [http://service.sap.com/swcenter-3pmain].
Ok, hope that answers your questions.
Make sure to test the procedure before actually trying to perform the migration.
Very often questions and problems come up during the first time the process is done - and if that happens to be your productive migration weekend, well, cross-fingers that you get a MaxDB expert supporter on weekend duty then ...
regards,
Lars

Using Windows Azure File Service for Symbols Server

Hi,
I am trying to understand how to use the Windows Azure File Service (http://blogs.msdn.com/b/windowsazurestorage/archive/2014/05/12/introducing-microsoft-azure-file-service.aspx) for a Symbols Service. I have not been able to find any documentation
to help guide me with this specifically. Most of the guides I have found discuss creating a VM and File Server in Azure.
Thanks!

Hi,
Azure Files can only be used from an Azure VM within the same region as the storage account.
it will work when setup a symbol server for azure VMs, if you trying to setup a symbol server for external client machines then this won’t work.

Hardware migration for apps

Dear Gurus,
Need your help in the following:
We have server SrvrA (IBM AIX 2 CPU - 12 GB RAM) with Oracle apps running for the past 4 years without any issues. Database and application are hosted on the same server under a common mount point (/apps). This mount is an external storage device.
We have another server SrvrB (IBM AIX 4 CPU - 16 GB RAM).
Question:
Can we do a clean shutdown of application and database on the SrvrA, unmount the external storage and mount it on SrvrB? Does it require any other procedures?
Ofcourse SrvrB has to be renamed to SrvrA, so that users can use the same URL?
Thanks
ARS

Hi,
I don't know much about AIX, but when I type oslevel -g in SrvrA and SrvrB, i get the below output:
SrvrA
# oslevel -g

How to enable alerts for app server?

We have setup a central autoreaction for our ECC6 system. Central autoreaction is in solman.
We have registered separate sapccm4x agents in the CI and apps instances & both are ONLINE in solman. But when we try to assign the central autoreaction to the system in RZ21, it only assigns to the CI, not to apps instance.
How can we assign the autoreaction to the app instance?
Note: We do not want to use solman BPM, so please do not suggest that.
Thanks
Prasad

Hi prasad,
You cannot assign any central auto-reaction methods to the MTE classes that belong to the application servers of CEN as described below.
In this case, use the conventional assignment using a local auto-reaction method, means assign directly.
look at the constraints as described below
