XMII server specifications

Hello all,
SAP recommends the following specifications for the xMII server
1) RAID - 1 Disk (3 logical SATA Disks)
Question: Our normal standard is for a RAID 5 with three physical drives. Would this cause any issues?
On the 3 logical SATA Disks, does this mean 3 logical volumes are required?
2) Database size - 400 GB
Question: Is this the recommended capacity of the RAID set or is it the recommended size of just the database? We plan to do a small POC and this strikes me as being overkill. Is this quantity correct?
Any help would be appreciated.

Jawahar - Please watch your versions. This is the second forum post that you have included this hyperlink to an old SDN document that was for version 11.5, not version 12.0. Even though the application content and connectivity is largely the same the entire web application server and underlying architecture has been ported from a file system based Microsoft IIS / NewAtlanta ServletExec to the database system running on NetWeaver WebAS 2004s SP10+. The specs listed in Joe's document are quite outdated.
Srinivasan - the application content and complexity that you implement and the number of users accessing the system should still be your guide for any sort of sizing. Since xMII version 12.0 is now an application deployed onto the WebAS Java stack you should use the NetWeaver sizing tool for the hardware recommendations and then include RAM allocations and possible clustering considerations that are in alignment with your prospective xMII 12.0 application.

How to pass runtime parameters to Oracle Query from xMII server

Please can anybody help me that how to pass runtime parameter to Orcle Query from xMII server.

It works the same way as I described in this thread [How to pass runtime parameters to MySQL Query from xMII server]. It does not matter the datasource MII will work the same for all queries, at least for passing in parameters. How to write those queries and their datatypes will be the differences.

How to find the client number of xMII server i m running

Hi experts,
Here i am simply providing the URL in my browser and it shows the login page of xMII server.But i want to find under which client i am currently running this xMII ,how can i find that client number?
Thanks ,
S.Ramesh Kumar.

The term "client" does not neccessary apply with xMII. A "client" is an organization level in ECC. If you are looking for the system information open the url
http://server:port
and select system information.

Mail Server Installation on xMII Server

Hi All,
I had installed mail server on xMII Server and created a mail account there.
Inside the BLS I used localhost as server.
And username and password, I given the credentials of mail account created.
The problem is I am not able to send mails(Even I tried running it by creating an XacuteQuery). Please let me know if there is anyother setting that needs to be done from xMII side or from mail server side, so that I can send mails mentioning Server as localhost instead of stating entire IP.
Thanks & Regards,
Ravi kumar

Hi Ravi,
Do you want to send mail from xMII to your mail?
No need to give mail Account and password.Only you give your mail server name , From and To.
Mail server name should be correct.
And other fields like subject and attachment as per your requirement.
Thanks,

Why xmii server needs to be restarted if parameter of rfc is changed?

hi,
I am developing a RFC function module in SAP R/3 which will be called from XMII.Whenever I add any export parameter in the RFC the XMII server needs to be restarted...
I am unable to understand what is restarting of server and why it needs to be restarted ....Please help...
Also i am interested to learn XMII ....How can I start ?

Hi Sweta,
after you have changed the RFC settings, you have to reset the JCO cache because some values are buffered. You can use the following link:
MII 11.5:
[http://<xmiiserverip>:<port>/Lighthammer/JCOProxy?Mode=Reset]
MII 12:
[http://<xmiiserverip>:<port>/XMII/JCOProxy?Mode=Reset]
Please refer to the following thread for infos for new users:
[regarding xmii...;
Also have a look at the WIKI where you can find lots of information:

XMII Server availability

Hi,
I am wondering what are the possible scenarios that xMII server is unavailable to shopfloor. I am listing some of the possibilities that I know.
1. When network is down
2. When there are some changes related to transactions, database changes ( non SAP ), security related ( roles, role attributes) moved from xMII quality server to production server.
I don't think we need to bring down xMII for cosmetic changes in HTML pages.
If some one can add or correct me then that would be very great help for me.
Thanks,
Srinivas.

Srinivas,
The 'network down' situation typically effects more than just client browser access to the xMII server, especially if the xMII server is not physically situated at the shopfloor data center location, and this is one of the many reasons that we encourage a distributed architecture.
The only time you would need to bring the xMII server down would be for service pack updates, OS updates, Microsoft reboots, etc. All content changes, like html, javascript, query/display templates, transactions, etc. take effect immediately. All configuration changes (data servers, time periods, schedules) and security changes (users, roles) should also take effect immediately since the editors take care of that for you.
If you are promoting content and configuration from test to production I would assume that you are doing this at a scheduled time, and if you do need to restart the ServletExec-xMII service for any reason then it should not matter. If you are overwriting the system configuration xml files on the file system then it will require the service to be restarted.

XMII Server crashes when BLS is executed

Hi,
We are facing a problem in xMII server. From xmii server we are calling a RFM which returns a dataset of around 50 thousand to 100 thousand. When the bls is executed from the http runner then the server is crashed. But it runs properly for smaller dataset. So can anybody give information about the threshold value of data set which xmii can handle. And how to overcome this situation.
Thanks and Regards,
Soumen Mondal

Hi,
For huge dataset you will get this problem.Fisrt check no other transactions should not run during the sametime because this is a big transaction and consuming lots of memory space.
You need to check how much memory your all transactions and whole application is consuming. If it exceeds the RAM then system will be hanged.
Thanks,
Manisha

Best Practices for Packaging and Deploying Server-Specific Configurations

We have some server-specific properties that vary for each server. We'd
like to have these properties collected together in their own properties
file (either .properties or .xml is fine).
What is the best-practices way to package and deploy an application (as an
ear file), where each server needs some specific properties?
We'd kind of like to have the server-specific properties file be stored
external to the ear on the server itself, so that the production folks can
configure each server's properties at the server. But it appears that an
application can't access a file external to the ear, or at least we can't
figure out the magic to do it. If there is a way to do this, please let me
know how.
Or do we have to build a unique ear for each server? This is possible, of
course, but we'd prefer to build one deployment package (ear), and then
ship that off to each server that is already configured for its specific
environment. We have some audit requirements where we need to ensure that
an ear that has been tested by QA is the very same ear that has been
deployed, but if we have to build one for each server, this is not
possible.
Any help or pointers would be most appreciated. If this is an old issue,
my apologies, would you please point me to any previous material to read?
I didn't see anything after searching through this group's archives.
Thanks much in advance,
Paul

The one draw back to this is you have to go all the way back to ant and the
build system to make changes. You really want these env variables to be
late binding.

Paul,
I have a similar situation in our project and I don't create ear filesspecific
to the environment. I do the following:
1) Create .properties file for every environment with the same attributename
but different values in it. For example, I have phoneix.properties.NT,phoenix.properties.DEV,
phoenix.properties.QA, phoenix.properties.PROD.
2) Use Ant to compile, package and deploy the ear file
I have a .bat file in NT and .sh for Solaris that in turn calls theant.bat or
ant.sh respectively. For the wrapper batch file or shell script, you canpass
the name of the environment. The wrapper batch file will copy theappropriate
properties file to "phonenix.properties". In the ant build.xml, I alwaysrefer
to phonenix.properties which is available all the time depending on theenvironment.

It works great and I can't think of any other flexible way. Hope thathelps.

A sample server specification for Oracle RAC environment

Hi,
Our project has decided to change the single instance database to a RAC environment. Can any one provide a sample server specification to be analysed based on our project.
For example minimum processor/RAM....
Thanks

This is the simplest installation you can get, but if you want to do a fast response file based installation, there it is.

Minimum server specification

Can someone point me to the minimum server specification for iPlanet metadirectory ver 5.1. I am running this on a Blade 100 and Netra T1 server, and need to know the specs if this is supported?

The minimum system configuration is mostly governed by the no. and size of entries it is suppose to flow. Pls. check the Hardware Sizing section of Sun ONE Directory Server Installation and Tuning Guide.

Clusterwide vs. Server Specific Bean Deployments

          Hello all,
          How is it possible to deploy some EJBs on specific servers within
          a cluster and others clusterwide when the weblogic.ejb.deploy statement
          in the server-specific properties file overwrites the cluster properties
          parameter? Do you end up having to deploy everything on the server
          specific level? Is a bean still truly 'clustered' if listed in
          multiple server specfic properties files (assuming <home-is-clusterable>
          is true)?
          Thanks!
          Matt


          Prasad,
          Thanks for your reply. The problem I experience is that if I have
          a ejb.deploy statement in ServerA's properties file, then any deploy
          statements in the [mycluster] level properties file is overwritten
          and those beans are not deployed. The properties files are read
          global, cluster, server, but opposite order has priority. If every
          server in the cluster has specific deployments, the cluster level
          beans will not be deployed. Is there another way to deploy, something
          like: weblogic.cluster.ejb.deploy=... or something?
          This is WebLogic 5.1 that I am talking about, btw. I'm not familiar
          enough with 6.0 clustering to know if this is also the case with
          that version. Thanks!

Override web.xml With Server Specific Values

Not sure if here or the OC4J/J2EE forum is most appropriate place for this question:
We're currently working on migrating from the old jserv setup to 9.0.4 app server with OC4J. We have the infrastructure installed and are managing the application through Enterprise Manager. In my web.xml file I provide initialization parameters to one of my servlets using something similar to the following:
<servlet>
<servlet-name>util.GlobalPropertyManager</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>util.GlobalPropertyManager</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>mhris.batch.outputdir</param-name>
<param-value>d:/dev/java/mhris/defaultroot/batch/</param-value>
</init-param>
</servlet>
Now, this directory path I've provided is only good on my local workstation. When I deploy to my UNIX production servers, I need to override this with a valid path depending on the server being deployed to (no, they don't all have the same directory setup, yeah it's a pain). These servers include our production boxes, development server, test, training, etc.
Currently under JSERV, I provide server specific values in the Global Init Parameters section of my property file (don't remember why we didn't use the Servlet Init Parameters property instead). This works very well since this file is not touched when we land updates, so the values are set once for each server.
Under OC4J, I understand that I can override the values in web.xml by using an orion-web.xml file BUT it appears that this file resides in the WAR I deploy, so each server will get the same orion-web.xml rather than maintaining its own set of values.
Is there another .xml file I can use to provide these initalization parameters? global-web-applications.xml looked promising but I wasn't completely sure I could put values for my application in it or where exactly they should go (ie. inside the existing <web-app> section or if I should create a second one specifically for my app).
Any ideas or will I have to reploy a different orion-web.xml file to each of my servers?
Appreciate the assistance,
Michael

Michael,
First, I would just modify the web.xml during each deployment.
Second, I would recommend using the same relative path with the web-app context. Then, you can use the Servlet API to retrive the real path of the web-app context.
I don't think it is necessary to use orion-web.xml or other properties files.
