JSPM,SDM,configtool installation in Dialog instance or seperated server

[Former Member]

Hi experts

We set up NetWeaver2004s MSCS configration(having two nodes,

first node has CI locally,and second has DI locally.

Generally CI has some special tools such as System Land Directory,SDM

JSPM,configtool and Visual Administrator...

In the case that CI is unavailable, How can we use these tools on Dialog

instance after CI crush without CI restore??

So far Ive found the installation note for Visual Administrator in another node.

But i coundnt find the installation guide for SDM,JSPM,configtool and Visual Administrator.

Any information would be help.

Hello,

Did you ever get an answer / solution to your question?

I have the same question but there are still no other threads about this on the forum.

Note: 758298 is useful for remote Visual Administrator install, but like you say, what about ConfigTool!

Thanks,

Darryl

Hi,

as already posted: the ConfigTool connects directly to the DB.

Hi All,

Which Port does Config Tools Use to Communicate to the database in a Distributed installation? Is it 1527 only?

Tobius,

The question is not about how it connects, it's about how you can use it in a failure scenario on a clustered setup.

You only get one installation of ConfigTool in a clustered scenario, how do you use ConfigTool if the only node that it is installed on, is the node that is down?

Where are the docs for installing ConfigTool on the second node?

Yes, it's 1527 (or whateever your Oracle*Net port is set to).

Hello,

it's not necessary to install this tools on a second node.

SDM:

You can start sdm also if the j2ee server not is coming up... startserver.bat.

JSPM:

You can use SDM instead JSPM.

ConfigTool:

Only the database must be available. No J2EE server must running.

Visual Administrator:

You can connect also the CI is down. You can connect via dispatcher or direct to an application server.

Hi Thomas

Thank you for your reply.

I would appricite it , if you could answer more questions bellow.

your proposing

SDM:You can start sdm also if the j2ee server not is coming up... startserver.bat.

JSPM:You can use SDM instead JSPM.

ConfigTool:Only the database must be available. No J2EE server must running.

Basically your answers are assumed that primery server is available in OS level

with CI crash or something.

I would like to know solution against crtical situation like in the case of Hardware crush,example OS login is unavailable

SDM,JSPM,configtool is installed in CI(primery server) only, so we'd like to use

these tools in seconderly node.

If you know SAP's standard solution about how to mange sepecific tools

of CI for MSCS against CI failer, I would like to know it.
