Websphere Clones

Hi List,
our client is using Websphere 4..0 Fixpack 5 on W2K servers. As per recomendation of JDEdwards/Peoplesoft we are using clones of the application servers instead of multiple application servers.
The problems is that we are experiencing HTML client disconnects at a not acceptable rate. As per our research this is a known problems and a fix will be out in Januray. Problems is that January 2ns is our GoLive date and we have to fix the problems before that to not abort the GoLive.
Questions: Is anybody using the Websphere clones with JAS? Haas anybody experienced the same problem? Is there any quick fix? We are thinking of going back to use several ASs and redirector instead.
Thanks for any input!

At WAS 4.0.5 I had a problem with the JVMs being reported as down, even though they were up. Resolved it with the installation of the WebSphere plugin cumulative efixes, downloaded from IBM.

Hi Clark

We applied a plugin fix and it seems to have solved the problem.

Thanks,
Barlem

What iwas that fix, because I am in the middle of setting up Horizontal conles acress 2 servers. Can you give us something to search for on IBM.

Thanks...Need some infor from thise who have Horizontal clones running.

Questions.

1. I have the clones configured on server A. I can access JDE via server A <http://ServerA:port/jde/servlet/com.jdedwards.portal.PortalBuilderServlet but I cannot access the same port on ServerB. Any ideas why
2. How is your httpd.conf fine on server A configured. Is it configured to listen on both server. If anyone can attach a working one that would be appreciated.
3. Do you have HTTP configured on serverB (second server)
4. Once you get the configuration to function which URL do you point it to in order to login and have it load balance.

Any assistance will be appreciated because the folks at GSS are clueless.

Install HTTP Server on both system A and system B.
Install WAS on system A pointing to a repository.
Install WAS on system B and point to the repository used by system A.
Configure httpd.conf on system A to use VirtualHost on system A.
Configure httpd.conf on system B to use VirtualHost on system B.
Create JVM on system A.
Horizontally clone JVM to system B.
You can now point the URL to either HTTP Server and WAS will load balance. You can use the administration console off of either server because both WAS's share a repository.
If server A is down, just point the URL to server B.
If server B is down, just point the URL to server A.
The WebSphere plugin does the load balancing.

I have it done that way but when I point to the ports on server B I get a blank page. I can login to server A without any issues but not server B.

It looks like it is not able to find the portalbuilder.class file under the WebSphere installedapps folder....because this is really the only difference in the configuration.

Regen the WebServer Plugin on server B, then try again.

I have done all this. here is what I would like to figure out. the URL for the first Server is this...

http://servername1:86/jde/servlet/com.jdedwards.portal.PortalBuilderServet

If I use the same URL for server 2
http://servername2:86/jde/servlet/com.jdedwards.portal.PortalBuilderServlet

I get this....should the URL for server 2 be pointed differently because the files are located under WebSphere>Appserver....
HTTP config is fine because I can get to the HTTP if I put server name and port. It is just not finding the servlet....not sure what else to check. Question...On server 1 do I need to have the copy if JAs folder under the Websphere>Appserver also....

Here is what I have
Server 1 - JAS installed is under the default installation Prog Files> JDEDwards.....>AS_JDEdwards_1.ear
Server 2 JAS installed was moved from Prog files JDEdwards to WebSphere>appserver>JDEDwards......
On server 2 the JAS.INI file points to the Websphere>AppServer>installedApps....path...Am I amissing something somewhere.

The page cannot be found

My configuration is:

Server A has the "ear" directory in both Program Files\JDEdwards\JAS and WebSphere\Appserver\InstalledApps. All references in httpd.conf and jas.ini are to Program Files.

Server B, the horizontal clone target, has the "ear" directory only under Program Files\JDEdwards\JAS. All references in httpd.conf and jas.ini are to Program Files.

HTH.

Do you mind uploading you httpd.conf and JAS.in so that I can take a look. This config is working for you right and you can see them load balancing. And you ate using Horizontal Clone and not Vertical right. So Server A is where you Database repoistory resides or Server A the machine you configured the clone on.

Whew....I think I finally got it, however if you don't mind I would still like to see your files. You can send them to me personally if you don't want to post them.
