Hi All,
I'm trying to get the oracle logs working within DBACockpit on Solman 7.01 for 2 systems that reside on the same physical server.
I've read note 1025707 and thread Using Central DBACOCKPIT with multiple databases on 1 host but I am still none the wiser.
The only thing I have managed to do to get this to work is under section 2 of the sap note, the last paragraph
If the remote host is a cluster or if you want to start the BR*Tools on a specific real application cluster (RAC) node, the virtual cluster host name or the host name of the RAC node must be entered in the DBA Cockpit under "Jobs -> Back-End Configuration", that is in the
dialog box "BR*Tools execution host" that can be called by using the menu "Administration -> ORACLE Settings".
I have set this for both the systems and this seems to work but when switching SIDs it keeps the old host name unless I restart DBACockpit and look at the each on separately.
Back End Configuration for SID1 is set to vhost1 in ORACLE Settings
Back End Configuration for SID2 is set to vhost2 in ORACLE Settings
Both reside on hostA
Without this setting Database Host always shows hostA and the RFC connection that was automatically set up references this server with the gateway set to that of vhost1 for example. Which only works for SID1 obviously.
When I made the changes to the above ORACLE Settings I had to create 2 new RFCs for each vhost so SAPXPG_DBDEST_VHOST1 & SAPXPG_DBDEST_VHOST2 since the original was using SAPXPG_DBDEST_HOSTA and set their gateway settings accordingly.
Is this the correct way of doing this as it appears to work, except that there appears to be a bug when switching SIDs?
I tried section 5 of the note but this didn't seem to work.
Thanks
Craig
