What's wrong with this configuration
Hi, Our environment consists of 2 ARServers with loadbalancer and 2 MidTiers with a separate loadbalancer. AR Server Setting for MT1 are: one entry for ARS1 and one for ARS_LoadBalancer, MT2 the same respectively. The settings for Preference Server, Data VisualizationModule Server, HomePage Server, Authentication Server are set to ARS1 The problem is if we go to the home page via MT_Loadbalancer all the application links are doubled. One link is for ARS1 and the second for ARS_LoadBalancer. If I remove the ARS_LoadBalancer entry from MT1 the page displays fine, but instead of this we got problem with displaying flashboards when entering via loadbalancer. Static mappings of IP addresses for host names are as follows: host file for ARS1: IP_of_MT1 MT1 IP_of_ARS1 ARS_LoadBalancer host file for MT1: IP_of_ARS1 ARS_LoadBalancer Please help me figure out what the correct configuration should be to get rid of the annoying behaviour. regards, Marek ___ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org Platinum Sponsor: RMI Solutions ARSlist: "Where the Answers Are"
Re: What's wrong with this configuration
Make sure that each ARS Server knows itself by both the local server name and the load balancer nane In the ar.conf (ar.cfg for Windows) add the other names as additional IP-Name entries. Server-Name: ARS1 IP-Name: ARS1.blabla.net IP-Name: ARS_LoadBalancer IP-Name: ARS_LoadBalancer.blabla.net Fred -Original Message- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arsl...@arslist.org] On Behalf Of Marek B.

Re: What's wrong with this configuration
Adding to Fred's comments about IP Names... If I understand your description correctly you have a virtual IP for the AR Server farm called ARS_LoadBalancer with two AR servers in the farm (ARS1 and ARS2 I assume?). The mid tier servers should only know of ARS_LoadBalancer (not the individual AR servers ARS1 and ARS2). These servers should have as their server name (in ar.conf or ar.cfg) ARS_LoadBalancer. I assume you have configured correctly session affinity in the load balancers.

Re: What's wrong with this configuration
Mark, Right, servers have Server-Name variable set to ARS_LoadBalancer. But when I set this as an only option in the midtier I'm getting a "ARERR [9388] Authentication failed" error while logging via web. And "ARERR [9280] Server not present in the configured servers list - ARS1 " while trying to display a flashboard from WUT.

Re: What's wrong with this configuration
Marek, Take a look at the use of field id 1576 on your home page. This is a reserved field which can control what is displayed in the application list field. Depending on the value in this field only a subset of servers and entry points can be displayed on the home page. See the Form and Applications Guide for 7.1 "Viewing a subset of entry points" on page 269.
