Deploying OWAS in large enterprise

Hi,
We are planning to install OWAS 2013 in a large enterprise. It is going to be an installation working with a custom WOPI Client only (no SharePoint)
There will be a lot of users using this service(viewing and editing Word/Excel/PowerPoint). I am struggeling to find any good resources on how to setup and configure OWAS in a large enterprise.
We currently have a load balancer in place and full install OWAS server farm of 3 servers at the moment for a small number of users, but when we exit the pilot phase there will be thousands of users.
I am asking in this forum since OWAS is mostly used with Sharepoint and hopefully someone has some experience on this or can somehow point me in the right direction. I can find very little information about the inner workings of OWAS and how to
deploy and optimize such a solution.

You'll want to monitor the servers moving forward. WAC is primarily dependent on CPU (converting the document), memory (document caching), and disk (document cache).
I'm using a 3 server WAC farm in a least connection mode (recommended for WAC versus round-robin or persistent connection) for a large number of users, and it is all about sizing the servers to fit your needs.

Deploying Muse in the Enterprise

I am trying to deploy Muse in a busy College. I have followed the instructions Deploying Muse in the Enterprise but it only works for the first user. When another user logs in to the Mac and tries to use Muse they receive a message that they do not have a subscription. Applying the prov.xml file again solves this and the user can then use Muse. But, as soon as another user logs in the problem occurs again. IS there a way to avoid having to apply the prov.xml file every time a new user logs in?

Hi reboscar,
Please try applying Admin priviledges on the Adobe Folder also make the Admin as Owner on these folders.

~/Library/Application Support/
This should allow the Computer to retain the licensing information.
Please let us know if it helps.

Is Mountain lion support SAP on large Enterprises level

is Mountain lion support SAP on large Enterprises level?

SECOND FOLLOW UP TO MY "QUESTION" about Mountain Lion sleeping on the job after applying update to OS X 10.8.1.
In the event Apple Support staff is monitoring this discussion, this post is pertaining to a late model 2011 macbook pro primarily used for work for photo processing (RAW), video capture astrophotography with subsequent video editing and playback, picture/drawing creation and compilation, basic office functions such as accounting, spreadsheets, word processing and basic online activity.
Concerning this systems two specific issues and the one of shortened battery life affecting all other systems these are the resultant observations and recommendations for work arounds.
1. System goes to sleep while downloading a file unatended resulting in long or failed downloads.
No Improvement since update.
Workaround – I play a movie file while downloading, it's simple, it works, it's obvious on my desktop and doesn't involve installing more software or changing settings that can be forgotten.
2. Garbled display when undocking from a cinema display requiring hard restart resulting in lost data.
Marginal Improvement since update – the application of the update to version 10.8.1 has improved but not eliminated the garbled display to a partially garbled display that can be salvaged by changing screen resolution.
Workaround – Open the lid and wait for the display to appear then undock.
3. Short Battery Life
Marginal Improvement since update – battery life is approximately 10% longer on this machine.
Workaround – None, recharge more often.
Disposition – Mountain Lion 10.8.1 is still not worth upgrading to at this time.
Mountain Lion added a lot of nifty features that I have no interest in pertaining to my work. I stick to a few basic programs I use which I need a Mac to run. Given the shorter battery life, garbled display and the fact that the system shuts down while working unatended on a job this version OSX is not an improvement.

Managing Office 365 Components for a large enterprise using Active Directory

Opening Office 365 to a large enterprise (7000 users) implies some controls be placed around who can subscribe to what and which Add-Ons a user might have/need/desire access to.
To place these controls around, for example, licensing Project Online to individual users, we are proposing creation of Active Directory groups for each add-on and use powershell or other method to read the AD FS user groups, then flip the bit on the O365
user profile for that member to allow them to select the Add-On.
At any point in time, our Asset Management team can use the AD group to determine licensing distribution and chargeback to internal cost centers.
Does this seem like a viable approach?
Any other approaches that have worked?

John,
After your users and home profile paths are created in AD - have your tried running the createhomedir command from Terminal? Assuming your AD plugin settings are correct on your server - specifically the 'Use UNC path...' - try running the command (in Terminal) below on your document (home folder) server:
sudo createhomedir -s
This command should query your server's search path (check the path using Directory Utility - located in /SystemLibrary/CoreServices) and find any users (preferably your AD network accounts - that's the -s option) that should have home folders on that server and create them. Note that this command nust be run as root - hence the sudo
To test - try creating a new AD user and point their profile to your Mac sharepoint - then run the command. You could also run the command on your Mac server to create an account for just the new user - just add their name at the end of the command above:
sudo createhomedir -s newusername
Hopefully one of these suggestions will work for you...

What is the best way to deploy Flash in the Enterprise?

We would like to deploy Flash Player in our corporate environment.
Users are NOT administrators of their local machines, so just installing it on the image and leaving it is not an option.
Telling users not to click the large Adobe Flash Player has an update splash screen is also not an option.
1) How do you install Flash Player in an Enterprise environment?
Please include answer with a guided installation document, as the SCUP document is not end-to-end.
2) How do you disable Flash Player update notifications?
Please advise,
Andy

Hi,
Thanks for this, but I am looking for a enterprise class solution: i.e. installing hundres of machines with automation and reporting. We are already aware of the MSI, but the automatic installation recently started failing since we migrated to Windows 7 and users are non-admins. We also plan on keeping UAC turned on, so running the MSI with the SYSTEM account in a script fails.
Again, we are looking for an end-to-end solution, possibly using SCCM and SCUP. In essence, documentation and web chatter points to being able to:
1) automatically have SCUP poll Adobe.com for updates
2) automatically have SCUP publish it to SCCM when available
3) push it out to WSUS as an update
4) clients automatically update it as part of Windows Update.
I have the bits and pieces, but have failed putting it all together.
I know I am not the only person administrating a large company and uses Flash.... help!

Deploy Adobe Creative Cloud Enterprise

Anyone deploying Adobe CC ENT in a Windows environment have a script to share that will deploy the exceptions and the build file correctly? I'm using Win7 clients and Server 2008 R2 GPO to deploy.
I have a deploy.bat file in the Adobe Creative Cloud\Exceptions directory with the following script. I realize this isn't correct, but am I somewhat close? What do I need to add or change to this process to get this deployed? School starts in a couple weeks and I need this deployed to 200 machines.
ExceptionDeployer --workflow=install --mode=pre --installLanguage=en_US
\\servername\Adobe Creative Cloud\Build\setup.exe
ExceptionDeployer --workflow=install --mode=post

I'm not a CC expert, but I think normally admins configure Acrobat and then deploy everything via the Creative Cloud Packager. Acrobat certainly needs to be licensed, so when you only have a CC license, it's best to deploy in a standard way so that Acrobat get serialized with the license you have.

Can't configure deployed WebCenter app using Enterprise Manager after WLST

Using fusion middleware version 11.1.1.4 with WLS and WebCenter of same versions.
I deployed an ADF application using WLST and the application mostly runs, but I need to configure some portal connections from the Enterprise Manager. I am able to configure many options but when I try to select an option under WebCenter I get:
"You do not have permission to view this page. Contact your administrator"
I get this message for any deployed application even those I didn't deploy using WLST and I was able to configure them fine before this.
I am logged as the Weblogic administrator.
For the deployment using WLST, I connected to the admin server, deployed successfully and last issues exit().
I tried to shutdown the Managed server but took more than 5 minutes (which is not common) so I killed the process and restarted it. Was able to run the application but still can't configure the WebCenter options for any application???
Please advise how to get out of this stuck issue!!
Thanks

Solved, seems browser caching. Opened a new browser and it worked !! (seems weird)

How to deploy ejb in an Enterprise Environment using the jbuilder plugin

Hello:
I use Oracle9iAS Plug-in Release 2 (9.0.2) for Borland JBuilder 7 to deploy my ejb. But now, i would like to deploy my ejb to oc4j in an Enterprise Environment (not as standalone).
Does anybody know how can i do it? I noted that the plugin use admin.jar to deploy ejb, and I suppose it need to use dcmctl.
Thank you
Sergio

Sergio,
The current release of Borland JBuilder only allows you to deploy to standalone OC4J. If you want to deploy to Oracle9iAS (Enterprise OC4J), please try Oracle9i JDeveloper 9.0.3:
http://otn.oracle.com/software/products/jdev/content.html
JDeveloper 9.0.3 uses DCM to deploy to Oracle9iAS

Error deploy shared library from Enterprise Manager IAS10.1.3.5.0

Hi,
I am trying deploy one shared library in my OC4J instance (prd_oc4j) from Enterprise Manager, but when i run my application its not loading this library (error missing class), but when i put this shared library in file server.xml without Enterprise Manager my application run sucessfully.
Help me please or this problem is a bug?
Tks,

If finally found the cause of the problem, lack of PermGen space for the home instance;
When opening the EM Console most of the times i was able to open the login page, under stress opening this page failed most of the times.

When monitoring the PermGen of the home instance, is showed that the system was running out of PermGen space.
Increasing the PermGen size for the home instance in opmn.xml did the trick

Deploy agents for Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid 11.1.0.1.0

Hi All,
I have successfully installed Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid 11.1.0.1.0 on Red Hat 5.5 64 bit. It is up and running.
I have started preparing for deployment of the agents. There are quite a lot targets which are Windows machines.
My question is what is the best approach for deploying agent on server running Microsoft Windows? Is it Installing Oracle Management Agent Using Agent Deployment Wizard or silent.
I started with Agent Deployment Wizard but for Windows it requires setting SSH and installing cygwin which is not very comfortable if I have to do this for all Windows targets. If it is the case , should cygwin and ssh daemon be running all the time or just for the phase of installing the agent?
Please advise which is the best approach in this case when most of the targets are running on Microsoft Windows.
Any ideas are appreciated.
Thanks,
Maria

Hi,
I have used the method "agent install in silent mode" and believe that this is a rather simple way to install an agent. You just have to test it
on one host - and if it works there it will work any other hoste as well - you could use the same response file for all other hosts. The command
to install the agent remains the same...
But maybe someone else beliefs that another approach might be better...

Serious problems deploying web application with enterprise manager

Hi all,
First I have to say that this thing that has happened to me today is freaking bizarre... I was trying to make a new deployment of a web application on OAS 10.1.2, using the Enterprise Manager. The application is using Spring and DWR, therefore it has some XML files included. The application worked perfect in JDeveloper 9.0.4, our development tool, and I've previously developed very similar applications in the past, and deployed them on the same server without any problem.
Today, when I was trying to deploy my .ear file, I got this error message:
The file specified, "FindAnExpert.ear" is not a valid ear file.
I tried with the .war file, and this happened:
Base Exception:
java.util.zip.ZipException
invalid END header (bad central directory offset). invalid END header (bad central directory offset)
I checked that all the included .jar files were fine, I even replaced them with new ones. I started to remove files from the .war file and discovered that without the XML files I was able to deploy the application. Then I copied over those XML files through FTP and the application is working correctly, but I was not able to use the Enterprise Manager to deploy it!!! The XML files are well formed, on of them contains the details of a data source that I also reviewed to be sure that it was correctly configured... This is nuts... any ideas over there???
Thanks in advance,
Luis

Luis,
If all of the files uploaded piecemeal worked fine, then I believe your problem to be with your deployment descriptor(s). Also, note that the .war file lives in a different directory:
C:\oc4j\j2ee\home\applications\Application-Name
Perhaps if you have time you could post all of the associated deployment descriptor files. Log files from the C:\oc4j\j2ee\home\log\oc4j directory would also help to troubleshoot your deployment issues. You can turn up the logging level to "FINEST" for maximum output to your log file.

Mass Deploy OWA Application to iPhones and iPads

We want to mass deployment the OWA app to all the iPhones and iPADS in our organization using Windows Intune. Is this possible? I see I can upload an .IPA file... but those aren't available for download like an MSI... so is this feature really only
intended to be used to download custom developed applications which are not in the app store?

Note though that this has nothing to do with Intune. This is simply how all device app stores work. One of the advantages -- for developers and consumers -- is that there is a single source of the app (the store) where the developer can track (and charge
for) installs and updates can readily be downloaded as they are available. Giving the actual installation file to anyone to use would break this model.
The most you can do is what's called deep-link to the app in the app store so that the users can find the app to install them from the app store themselves.

Flex deployed on a large scale?

We plan on developing a new product and Flex popped in my
mind as a development platform. I know a good deal of Flex 1.5, but
only used it for personal sites.
My question is how well Flex behaves in a large scale
environment to those who have deployed it in such. Server load will
be at least thousand / day.
Thanks!

Hmm... I made one medium sized application in 1.5 (approx 10
screens, user access <1000 times per day) and it seems to be
working alright for the client.
Now I am working on a major application (over 20 main
screens, and definately access>1000 times per day) and it is not
going well. I am really worried about the bugs and memory issues of
Flex 2.0. I have also not found a sure-fire way to address these
potential issues. I can say this: for the size of application we
are making, Flex and Flash Player just aren't up to the job.
Compiled and executed as a single .swf application results in 755MB
ram usage and for some reason a constant CPU access of 60% (Pentium
4 proc.) after accessing every screen. And this is just FlashPlayer
doing what it is supposed to. Me, not being a computer engineer,
can't really address these problems. Flex and AS aren't C. I can't
control memory usage with my code. By breaking up the huge
application into smaller ones and then loading those via an
SWFLoader I may be able to avoid this rampant resource hogging but
it's sort of illogical from an application architecture standpoint
because this is ONE application.
As a developer, I can see plenty of places to streamline the
application but this simply isn't possible when dealing with the
client. They want this screen to look and act this way and that
screen to look and act the other way. I can talk about how if both
screens use the same layout and logic they can both use the same
template class, share static resources, blah blah until I am blue
in the face but it won't matter because they are the client and
they decide how the application is going to look--at the expense of
streamlining. That's just the real world. Then I have to somehow
make it work.
By the way... before you think "just use view states!", I do
use those--and bitwise logic flags for more complicated
configurations--it's still not enough, although it did cut approx
160 screens in documentation form down to just 20 in
implementation.
In worst case scenarios, I have to deny the client what they
want and if they ask me why, I have to reply "it can't be done with
Flex". Then their satisfaction in the product drops. Flex suddenly
isn't as incredible as it seemed at first. Doesn't matter how
pretty and animated the screens are when if you run them over an
hour your computer slows to a halt or .ttc fonts stop loading (HUGE
issue here in Japan).
I have yet to see a sample application that comes close to
the scale of our current project: A library book browser? neat but
that's just square one; A Commodore 64 emulator? cute. no place in
business; A real-estate browswer? in our project that would be the
equivalent of ONE SCREEN out of the entire application.
I like Flex. It's fun--on a small scale. But I never want to
develop a real world business application using it again. There are
way more (and way more skilled) Java, JSP, PHP, etc. etc.
developers out there than Flex developers who can make much more
robust applications. It's a shame the client got caught up in the
hype of Flex RIA before the technology was ready for the task.
Very long story short: Beware using Flex for an involved
application.
It's going to require exponentially more time than a smaller,
less ambitious project--especially if you don't purchase FDS. And
oh my god implementing a Flex application on a legacy Struts
framework... kill me now! As much as I hate "page-refresh"
applications, Flex (both 1.5 and 2.0) has not proven to be the
god-send that I had hoped and dreamed it would be as a developer.
What can you expect, though? It's only been out a few years.... And
as far as clients' perspectives go, the price for FDS also
certainly doesn't help make it appealing. That is why it is so
embarrassing to tell them their dream application is quickly
becoming an egregious memory hog.
Anyway, good luck if you take on your project with flex. Just
be careful!
