Witness Server Configuration

Hi,
We have configured SQL mirroring between our primary and DR servers. Now we wanted to configure witness server for this in order to enable automatic failover. Can anyone help me what needs to be done on witness server apart
from base OS. do we need to install sql server on this? Please let me know?
Regards,
Varun

Yes you need to install SQL instance, it can be express edition.

Database mirroring with witness server and availability set

Hi,
I got two VMs Sql1 and Sql2 with mirroring between them, they are in the same availability to achieve 99.95% SLA.
My mirroring config requires a witness server, while configuring a witness server you can specify only one server.
From what I read online load balancing two witness servers and providing the load balancer ip as the witness server will not work.(is that right? or I can do that?)
Anyway, how can i make sure the witness server(since it doesn't have a partner) has 99.95% SLA?
Thank You!

Thanks Manesh.
Availability set ensures that not all the VMs in the Availability set will go down at the same time, and it's possible that only one VM in the Availability set will stay online.
Therefore, if I will put the two partners and the witness in one Availability set there is the chance that both partners will be down at the same time.
On the contrary, if the witness will be out of the Availability set, I can be sure that one partner will always be online.
So including the witness server in the availability set will hurt the High Availability of the database.
Always remember that only VMs that do the exact same job should be in the same Availability set.

Mirror and Witness Connection in a Disconnected state immediately after adding Witness Server to Mirror session.

After adding the Witness Server to the Mirror session, the Witness Connection state between the Mirror and Witness Connection is Disconnected and the state between Principal and Witness Connection is Connected.
The procedures defined in Books Online was used to setup Database Mirroring...when the Witness server was added to the Mirror session, only the alter database T-SQL statement was executed on the Principal server.
ALTER DATABASE <db_name> SET WITNESS = 'TCP://<servername>:<port>'
After executing the above statement, a few seconds later the state between Principal and Witness Connection changed to Connected and the state between Mirror and Witness Connection remains Disconnected.
The Mirror session is not using Certificates, every server is on the same domain, using the same domain login account, and all servers have SP2 installed running Enterprise Edition.
Any idea's why the state between Mirror and Witness Connection remains Disconnected?
Thanks,

I have the same problem. All 3 servers are on a workgroup and I'm using certificates. All three servers are connected via switch. This is a test environment, with the principal server being a 64 bit OS with Windows Server 2003 R2 with SQL Server standard x64, the witness server is a Windows server 2003 SP2 x32 with SQL Server Express, and the mirror is Windows XP x32 with Sql Server Standard. Using hard coded static IP addresses (FQDN makes no difference, and they get resolved to IP addresses anyway!). The mirror server log shows
'The server instance Witness rejected configure request, read its error log file for more information
but of course there are no errors logged on the witness server - not by SQL, nor in the event log. When the witness is set on the princial server, the Database mirroring monitor shows almost immediately that the witness and prinicapl servers are connected, but it takes quite a few seconds before the witness/mirror state is shown as disconnected. Until then the entry is blank. The monitor also shows High Saftey with automatic failover, which isn;t true - since the mirror and witness are not connected, no failover occurs when the principal is taken offline.
Since I'm running terminal services on the XP machine to interact with the witness and principal server, I find it hard to image that there are network issues.
If the witness can connect with the principal and the principal can conect with the mirror, under what circumstances will the witness NOT connect with the mirror? When I check the witness server for entries in the database_mirroring_witness view the following is shown:
RTJobs TCP://primary-sql:5022 TCP://192.168.100.14:5022 2 FULL 1 1 2263BD97-1004-4D73-9966-7AFB89E5626E A6EE18DF-19C4-48EC-8C06-77074EF5A275 0 1
Interestingly the IP address of the prinical server is replaced by the Sql Server instance name (primary-sql) but this doesn't happen for the witness.

Can we use SQL Server 2012 Web Edition as a witness server in mirroring?

Hi All,
Can we use SQL Server 2012 Web Edition as a witness server in mirroring?
Grateful to your time and support. Regards, Shiva

Hi All,
Can we use SQL Server 2012 Web Edition as a witness server in mirroring?
Grateful to your time and support. Regards, Shiva
As Per BOL
We strongly recommend that the witness reside on a separate computer from the partners. Database mirroring partners are supported only by SQL Server 2005 Standard and later versions and by SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition and later versions.
Witnesses, in contrast, are also supported by SQL Server 2005 Workgroup and later versions and by SQL Server 2005 Express Edition and later versions. Except during an upgrade from an earlier version of SQL Server, the server instances in a
mirroring session must all be running the same version of SQL Server. For example, a SQL Server 2005 witness is supported when you are upgrading from a SQL Server 2005 mirroring configuration but cannot be added to an existing or new SQL Server 2008 or later
mirroring configuration.
A witness can run on any reliable computer system that supports any of these editions of SQL Server. However, we recommend that every server instance that is used as a witness correspond to the minimum configuration that is required for the SQL Server Standard
version that you are running. For more information about these requirements

WIndows 7 64-bit system printing to a Windows 2000 server configured as a print server

Is there any way to configure a new Windows 7 64-bit computer to use a Windows 2000 server configured as a print server ?
The printer that I would like to connect to is an HP 4240n LaserJet. I appears that there is only a 64-bit Universal Print Driver available. The server currently uses HP 32-bit PCL5e or PCL6 drivers for all other connected computers. Connection is through a Hewlett-Packard Network Port, using DLC/LLC transport for the embedded 4240n print server.
Installing the HP 64-bit UPD to the WIndows 7 64-bit system, and then attempting to redirect the local port to the Win2k network print server has not worked.
Thanks for any advice.

Hi:
See if this works...
Run msconfig.
In the System Configuration screen, Boot tab, Advanced Options, if there is a check mark in the box next to Maximum memory. Remove that checkmark and save your changes.
Reboot and hopefully Windows recognises all the Ram ( minus the reserved ) after restarting.
Please give that a try, and post back and let us know if that frees up some system memory for you.

Printer Server configuration for APEX 3.1.2 in 10g XE

I have APEX3.1.2 installed in 10g XE and I am going thorough the OTN tutorial "[Oracle Application Express 3.0-- Building a Functional Application"|http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/apex/obe30/apexdev30.htm#l7] in the section "Editing Application Objects".
When I click "Print Attribute" of a page region, it displayed "{color:#ff0000}Report printing is currently not available, there is no print server configured{color}".
Can you tell me what this means and how to resolve it. All I have is APEX3.1.2 installed in 10gXE.
I have searched this forum and it seems that I have to install/configure a printer server?
Thanks!
Kevin

Dan,
I have the same problem as Kevin.
Your answer to his question can be very helpful. But if I follow the link you provide, I cant find the step 5.2.
Step 5.1 is clear. But what are the tasks of step 5.2?
I hope that you can tell me this.
Thank you.

Service Manager Data Warehouse Install - Analysis Server Configuration For OLAP Cubes Fail

Hello everyone,
I have an issue with my installation of the Data Warehouse for System Center Service Manager 2012 SP1.
My install environment is the following:
Windows Server 2012 – System Center Service Manager (Successfully Installed) - Virtual
Windows Server 2012 – System Center Data Warehouse (Pending) - Virtual
Windows Server 2012 – MS SQL Server 2012 – Physical, Clustered 1<sup>st</sup> of Four Servers
The SQL Server is a clustered installation with named instances, specifically for SharePoint and Service Manager. Each instance has its own IP address and dynamic ports are turned off. I’m installing using the domain administrator account and I also chose
to run the installer as administrator. The domain admin has sysadmin rights to the service manager server and instance I’m trying to install on. However, the account does not have sysadmin rights to some of the other instances.
The install is smooth up until it needs to connect to the Analysis server database. I have tried connecting to the analysis servers on other SQL servers on site and all were successful. The only difference between the older SQL servers, the SQL 2012 development
server and the SQL 2012 Production server I’m trying to install to is that the that the domain admin account doesn’t have sysadmin access on all the databases on the new production server. The SQL server is being installed and configured by a contractor so
if you all have troubleshooting suggestions, I’ll need to coordinate with the contractor.
Starting with the screen below, I began searching for help online. There seems to be no one else with this issue or it is not documented properly. I opened a ticket with MS, called the contractor and troubleshot with him, troubleshot as far as I could on
my own and I’m still at a loss as to what is preventing the installer from connecting specifically to the analysis server.
I first thought the installer was at issue or that the data warehouse sever was at issue. But all signs are pointing at the SQL server. The installer is able to connect to all the other SQL servers – including other 2012 servers (same versions) – so it can’t
be the installer. I’m pretty sure the SQL server is going to be at issue.
After looking at this error, I opened the resource monitor and clicked the dropdown to see if it was trying to connect to the correct server and it was. I then connected to the old and new test and development servers successfully. Then connected to the
SQL 2008 R2 production cluster successfully. I then compared the two servers. The only difference other than the version numbers is that the admin account doesn’t have sysadmin rights on all the SQL 2012 database servers. But the database servers are not the
problem. The analysis servers are.
I then checked the event logs and they are empty as far as this issue is concerned. Actually, there are no errors on the SQL 2012 production box and the Data Warehouse box. I then checked the log that the installer creates during every step of the installation
and this is what is created when the dropdown is clicked for the analysis server configuration screen. The log file location is:
“C:\Users\admin\AppData\Local\Temp\2\SCSMSetupWizard01.txt”
In the file is the following text.

OIM 11g Server Configuration Wizard Error - Cannot Connect to Oracle DB

I appreciate any and all suggestions or thoughts on how to best continue troubleshooting this error that I am describing below.
I am attempting to install Oracle Identity and Access Management Suite 11g on a Windows 7 machine…in following the installation guides I have successfully installed the following Oracle Components
- Oracle Database 11.2.0.1.0
- Created Schemas using RCU 11.1.1.3.3
- Oracle WebLogic Server 10.3.3.0
- Oracle SOA 11.1.1.2.0
- Oracle SOA 11.1.1.3.0 (Patch Set)
- Oracle IAM SUITE 11.1.1.3.0
Following the above installations, I created a new WebLogic Domain and as the next step am running the OIM Configuration Wizard to configure the OIM Server, however I am unable to setup a connection to the Oracle DB via the OIM Configuration Wizard. I am getting an error message when attempting to setup the connection to the Oracle Database using the OIM 11g Server Configuration Wizard:
ERROR:*
INST:6102 Unable to connect to the database with the given credentials.
*+[DETAILS] Check the values. Make sure the Database is up and running and connect string, user name, and password are correct.+*
INST:6102 Unable to connect to the database with the given credentials.
*+[DETAILS] Check the values. Make sure the Database is up and running and connect string, user name, and password are correct.+*
When installing the Oracle Database 11gR2 I used the following install configuration:
Oracle base: C:\MyApps\Oracle
Software location: C:\MyApps\Oracle\DB_HOME\11.2.0\dbhome_1
Database file location: C:\MyApps\Oracle\DB_HOME\oradata
Database Edition: Personal Edition (3.27 GB)
Character Set: Unicode (AL32UTF8)
Global database name: orcl.dev.com
Administrative Password: Password1
Confirm Password: Password1
When creating my Schemas using RCU 11.1.1.3.3 I used the following Database Connection Details
DB TYPE: Oracle Database
HOST NAME: localhost
PORT: 1521
SERVICE NAME: orcl.dev.com
USERNAME: sys
PASSWORD: Password1
ROLE: SYSDBA
I used a Prefix of “DEV” when creating the schemas so Schema Owners DEV_OIM and DEV_MDS where created. Also, I configured to use the same password for all Schemas: “Password1″. So the password for DEV_OIM and DEV_MDS should be the same, “Password1″.
REPRODUCING THE ERROR
To reproduce the error, when I launch the Oracle Identity Management 11g Configuration Wizard I am first brought to the “Welcome” Screen. I click the [Next>] button.
Next, I am on the “Components to Configure” screen where I select OIM Server and OIM Design Console and click the [Next>] button. (NOTE I have also tested by simply selecting only the OIM Server)
Next, I am on the “Database” screen where I enter the connection information
Connection String: localhost:1521:orcl.dev.com
(NOTE I have also tested using localhost:1521:orcl)
OIM Schema User Name: DEV_OIM
OIM Schema Password: Password1
MDS Schema User Name: DEV_MDS
MDS Schema Password: Password1
When I click the [Next>] button after entering the Database Connection details I encounter the following two errors (1 error for each logon DEV_OIM and DEV_MDS)
INST:6102 Unable to connect to the database with the given credentials.
INST:6102 Unable to connect to the database with the given credentials.

Whenever installing oracle databases, i install the software only first. Then i setup the listener. Then i create a database instance using the dbca tool. This way all the information is added to the pre-existing listener configurations rather than trying to create the listener afterwards. Also, during the dbca database creation, i supply a full service name such as orcl.hostname and use the service name in future configurations where it asked. This usually solves any issues of the listener or database not being found correctly.

URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration

The name of the file that you are trying to access is MM_XSLTransform.class.php. It is a PHP class created by Dreamweaver for the XSL Transformation server behavior.
The servers php is 5.2.11, as it has been for sometime, so I know that it previously worked with allow_url_fopen = on and allow_url_include = off
Judging from the error message, you are trying to include the file using a URL, rather than a file path:
Fatal error: require_once() [

Change the URL to a file path:
require_once('/homepages/0/xxxx/htdocs/includes/MM_XSLTransform/MM_XSLTransform.class.php');
Is it possible for phpinfo() to show allow_url_fopen = on yet be actually off on the server?
No.
[Edited to correct name of server behavior]

NWDI for the 04s preview fails with 'SLD name-server configuration error'

After the installation, everything seems to work fine except that when I go to CMS, the links on the top seems to be hardcoded to point to http://pwdf3102:50100/dtr, even in the Domain Data. When I tried to change it to my local server, it keeps complaining about "Unexpected error; inform your system administrator: <Localization failed: ResourceBundle='com.sap.cms.util.exception.CMSExceptionMessages', ID='SLD name-server configuration error', Arguments: []> : Can't find resource for bundle java.util.PropertyResourceBundle, key SLD name-server configuration error"
Any suggestions on how to work around this? Thanks.

Brian,
Try to import the model file first by going to SLD->Administration->Import CIM Model. If the problem sticks, then try to remove the systems. The preview version has lots of pre-exist system name in the technical system, which you can find giving errors since they're not reachable. So you can remove them from SLD (Home->Technical Systems) if they are preventing you from procceeding.
You need to go to http://server:port/dtr/system-tools/administration/NameServerConfiguration to update the name server as well.
Hope this helps...

Regd.UDDI server configuration in PI 7.1 and services registry

Hi ,
i have gone through many forum posts before posting this , so expecting a genuine answer:) which can be rewarded:).
I am using PI 7.1 and trying to taste the services registry flavour of it.
i followed the SAP Note 1267817 - Configure Services Registry proxy , but i am not able to assign the roles
SERVICES_REGISTRY_READ_ONLY or SERVICES_REGISTRY_READ_WRITE in Su01.
i get a message that such a role doesnt exist at all.
Qn1:Do i need installed any software componet like UDDI etc, or do in need to have uddi server
configured for this , if yes how to do that..
I have seen the help.sap link : I am struck at the point "Discovery URL host name", according to the help.sap it will come automatically , but in my case it has some Rivalry.
Qn2:How to configure UDDI server n PI 7.1
, any step by step guide which applies to PI 7.1 will help.
Qn3:What is the relation between tcode soamanager, services registry and UDDI
Qn4: I am not able to search my services in soamanager->business administration->WS administration
I have activated the services (Webservice Runtime)as mentioned in the Blog
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/d06b6392-cde7-2c10-8f8b-bdea5d781dd9

Thanks Raj,
This property specifies a URL for the host name of the *physical machine where the Discovery
API of the UDDI server is located.* Its value is set automatically by default.
I am not able to understand this present in [help.sap |http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi71/helpdata/en/45/c1ea61a1194432e10000000a155369/frameset.htm]
what may be the reason for not able to assign the above roles as per the sap note given above?
Is there any componet needs to be installed line UDDI?Can a technical user role have this roles
accepted,i used my ID for configuration XI super user!
After following the note partially i.e w/o giving the user roles. when in rt click sender agreement and say publish

Weblogic Admin server - Configuration/Server Start/Arguments ignored?

Hi,
I'm trying to specify a http proxy for a WebLogic Admin Server in order for an application to access external resources. I've placed the settings into the "Server Configuration / Server Start / Arguments", and verified that they have been saved into the config/config.xml file for that domain:
<server-start>
<arguments>-Dhttp.proxyHost=[XXXX] -Dhttp.proxyPort=8080</arguments>
<password-encrypted>[XXXX]</password-encrypted>
</server-start>
However, no matter how I start the server, these settings are ignored despite that the documentation states these should be added to the java command line.
starting weblogic with Java version:
java version "1.6.0_19"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_19-b04)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 16.2-b04, mixed mode)
Starting WLS with line:
C:\PROGRA~1\Java\JDK16~1.0_1\bin\java -client -Xms256m -Xmx512m -XX:CompileThreshold=8000 -XX:PermSize=128m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -Dweblogic.Name=AdminServer -Djava.security.policy=C:\Oracle\MIDDLE~1\WLSERV~1.3\server\lib\weblogic.policy -Xverify:none -da -Dplatform.home=C:\Oracle\MIDDLE~1\WLSERV~1.3 -Dwls.home=C:\Oracle\MIDDLE~1\WLSERV~1.3\server -Dweblogic.home=C:\Oracle\MIDDLE~1\WLSERV~1.3\server -Dweblogic.management.discover=true -Dwlw.iterativeDev= -Dwlw.testConsole= -Dwlw.logErrorsToConsole= -Dweblogic.ext.dirs=C:\Oracle\MIDDLE~1\patch_wls1032\profiles\default\sysext_manifest_classpath weblogic.Server
As a test I created a new managed server in the same domain, specifying the same startup properties, and they were picked up during startup.
If I manually place the settings into the bin/setDomainEnv.cmd batch file for the domain they are also picked up and work.
Is there an undocumented restriction on Admin Servers that they ignore the "Server Start / Arguments" setting, or is there something else I can check as to why this is not working?
Many thanks,
- Micha.

Umm... I already pasted the relevant snippet out of the config.xml, but following is the entire file. The startup arguments, as specified in the admin console, are:
-Dhttp.proxyHost=[XXXXXXXX] -Dhttp.proxyPort=8080
which matches what is saved in the config.xml.

Someone can help me?
Thanks a lot.

is it a reinstallation or a first one on a bare server ? if there were several attempts please be sure you cleaned evrything before launching the installation :
- product directory
- /etc/ora*
- database
- oraInventory
- /tmp (I had a similar issue with remaining files in /tmp, even after rebooting)
If it doesn't work, check that you don't hit the NO-EXCUTE problem (see the OCS 10.1.2 release notes, look for "noexec")

Newbie problems with getting a local CFB server configured

This started out in another post by me as to what I thought was a port 8500 problem. I had watched the getting started with CFB video, and on that he used localhost as a Server Name and as Host Name. He then assigned port 8500 as the WebServer Port.
When I do this it comes up in the Servers windows as Stopped. If I try to start it the error I get is
'Starting localhost' has encountered a problem
Ensure that the server is not already running or any application is not using the webserver port.
So as an experiment I changed the port to 80 because the admin page does work at http://127.0.0.1/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm
The Server window at the bottom of the CFB screen then shows a Running server.
I create a small "Hello World" index.cfm page and when I hit one of of the browser tabs, Firefox and IE in my case, I get the following error,
Error while generating preview:
There is no server configured for the project myproject to which the file index.cfm belongs. Configure a server in ColdFusion in ColdFusion server settings before you proceed.
What am I missing ?
Thanks,
Dennis

You need to tell CFB what server CFB should use in order to preview the file.
So you need to associate a server with this Project. To do so, right click on Project -> Properties -> ColdFusion Server Settings.
Here from the dropdown of 'Servers' select the server that you added in CFB.
Once that is done, ensure that your project is in document root of the server which in your case could be the Inetpub\wwwroot.
Once this is done the preview should work.

Running reports created with Reports 9i in client-server configuration

I need to have users run reports created with Oracle Reports 9i on workstations without any Oracle products installed on it, (in a client-server configuration as opposed to Web based) . I am looking for a step-by-step approach to accomplish this. I looked through the installation documents in OTN and I did not see one that addressed this.
BTW, I saw an earlier post in this form which disscussed this,indirectly, for Reports 6i but I don't think these steps will work for 9i rpeorts
** Earlier post
Question:
I have an application in Oracle 8i, Forms 6i, Reports 6i. Now I want to make executable CD which will be installable in nature. I don't know how to make it or what tools to be used for this . Kindly help me out.
Answer:
You can write a .bat file for installation.....
This file should do following things.
1. Oracle8 Personal Setup
Install only Database (no tools)
2. Oracle Developer200 Setup
Install only Forms Runtime
Reports Runtime
Graphics Runtime
3. Use imp/exp to put the desired database...
4. Copy exexutables in some directory and place shortcuts in programs and destkop
5. Make new file-types in start->setting ->folder options-> file-types
and specify that in which runtime-application you want to open your executables....
Thanks in advance,
Audrey Watson

hi audrey,
there is no client/server runtime available for reports9i. what
you can do is to use the rwclient executable shipped with IDS
to submit jobs to the reports server.
there are plans to provide a stand alone thin client in the
future but this is not available yet.
regards,
christian
