Performance of Fusion Middleware

I've just saw a great post from Daniel Mortimer grouping a recopilation of tunning and performance tips on FMW applications.

Installing Weblogic 10.3.6 in command line mode

A couple of days ago I was installing a WLS PS5 for a WebCenter Content installation. Im using linux 64bit version and found an annoying bug.

If you start the installation in GUI mode, the wizard will ask you for the oracle support mail and password. I tried several times to skip that step, but the installation does not allow any action to bypass it.

So my last chance, was the installation by command line, these are the steps of the complete process:

[oracle@owc WLS]$ java -d64 -jar wls1036_generic.jar -mode=console

Instalación de WebCenter en Cluster (parte 2)

Nuestra segunda parte del manual implica extender el dominio para incluir los nodos de WebCenter Content y Portal.

Parte 1 (aquí)

Accedemos a la herramienta de configuración de dominio:

cd /oracle/middleware/oracle_common/common/bin

./config.sh

Extensión del dominio

Selecciono el dominio a extender

Selecciono los productos a añadir

Comprueba los accesos a la BB.DD con los esquemas necesarios (previamente creados a través de rcu)

 Definimos configurar opcionalmente los siguientes parámetros

Creamos la configuración de máquinas UNIX (que no de máquinas)

Especificamos como se repartirán los nodos manejados

Las librerías necesarias para AdminServer, por defecto nos preselecciona más de las necesarias. Este listado muestras las reales:

oracle.bi.jbips(11.1.1,0.1)                
oracle.bi.composer(11.1.1,0.1)

La librería JOC sólo se especifica en los clústeres

Ahora ya tenemos finalizado la extensión del dominio.

Desactivando la verificación de HostName

Accedemos a la consola de Weblogic y vamos a la siguiente página: Entorno > Servidores.

Por cada servidor accedemos a sus propiedades y en la pestaña SSL en la zona de "avanzado" y desactivamos la verificación de host.

Realizamos esta operación en todos los nodos manejados que existan.

Empaquetando la configuración y exportandola al nodo 2 

Ahora utilizamos el siguiente comando para empaquetar la configuración del servidor:

OWC1> cd ORACLE_COMMON_HOME/common/bin

OWC1> ./pack.sh -managed=true -domain=/oracle/middleware/user_projects/domains/dev_domain -template=edgdomaintemplate.jar -template_name=edgdomain_template

copiamos el fichero edgdomaintemplate.jar al nodo 2 (OWC2) y procedemos a su descompresión:

OWC2> cd ORACLE_COMMON_HOME/common/bin

OWC2> ./unpack.sh -domain=/oracle/middleware/user_projects/domains/dev_domain -template=edgdomaintemplate.jar -app_dir=/oracle/middleware/user_projects/applications/dev_domain

Arrancando NodeManager en el nodo 2 (OWC2)

OWC2> cd ORACLE_COMMON_HOME/common/bin 

OWC2> ./setNMProps.sh
OWC2> cd WL_HOME/server/bin 

OWC2> ./startNodeManager.sh

Arrancando los nodos manejados

Vamos a la parte de servidores y seleccionamos uno de los nodos manejados e iniciamos su arranque.

Revisamos las trazas del proceso de arranque para verificar que el arranque ha sido correcto.

En próximas entradas haremos ejemplos de scripts de arranque para los procesos de weblogic durante el arranque del sistema.
