WebCenter Sites Mobility Server, SSXA and workflows
Hi all,
I am trying to evaluate if "WebCenter Sites Mobility Server" adapts to the requirements of a new project. I have been reading the documentation intensively but I have not been able to find the answers to the two questions below.
1) Is it possible to use Site Studio for External Applications with WebCenter Sites Mobility Server?
2) Is it possible to use workflows with Mobility Server so that a contributor can accept or reject changes?
Any help would be really helpful.
You can not use SSXA or SiteStudio with Mobility Server. Also deep workflow integration is not there.
You should think about Mobility Server as a preview and publishing extension of Sites. You would create and approve all your assets in WebCenter Sites the way you normally would. Mobility Server accesses those assets via REST but uses it's own pubishing model to deploy the mobile site. It's integrated to via REST and the Preview UI (which sits in the Sites container as a App next to the contributor interface). That is the extent of the integration we have today.

but I have not the installation package with the script install.sh, mobilityserver.tar.gz, etc ...
How I can download it?

WebCenter Sites : Consume Web Services and apply templates
Hi,
What is the best approach to consume Web Services or REST Service with Sites?
The idea is to consume some eServices personalized for a connected user and apply different presentation templates for those services to add to Sites pages.
Any Best practices here ?
Regards
JoFor consuming SOAP services inside a delivery template, there used to be the webservices:invoke tag but it was deprecated in version 7.6, and was generally not recommended to use anyway. There are no new tags for consuming SOAP or REST webservices, customers asking to do that are generally advised to reuse the existing libraries and write their client code in java, for example directly in an element/template or custom tag that you use in elements/templates. For performing simple REST queries you could use ics.ReadPage or httpclient.
Sites (was CS) comes with jars for handling SOAP and REST services, such as saaj, xmlbeans, jaxrpc, and jersey. You can use these, but if you run into bugs or limitations with the provided versions be aware that upgrading these jars may break Sites. And similarly, upgrading Sites may change these jars and so break your client code.

Webcenter Sites 11g: Mobility server installation issue!!
Hi ,
I am trying to setup Webcenter Sites Mobility Server standalone ( Webcenter Sites CS and CAS up and running).
I am facing some issue, trying to setup the same. Can anyone pls. help me on the same?
I am getting the folloing error in the apache log -
File does not exist: /opt/MS/msadmin/web/adminpanel/allProperties, referer: http://admin.ms1.coedomain.com:8001/
The default properties are not getting populated on the MSADMIN UI.
It says "Loading..." but never loads.
I can see them in the database but not getting populated on the msadmin UI.
The mapper url http://admin.ms1.coedomain.com:8001/mapper is also throwing 404 error.
I can see the modules present under "/var/www/html/mobilityserver/apps/frontend/modules".
Can anyone pls. let me know that apart from the installation steps mentioned in the Installation guide did I need to do anything else ?
Please help. I am stuck on this for sometime!!
ThanksHi,
Yes I have followed the same document.
I have followed the steps exactly as mentioned in the document ( Only I have configured OCI and its working fine).
At the end I ran the below command to test-
sudo php symfony mobilityserver:testInstall env=prod host=ms1.coedomain.com:8001
OUTPUT:
mobilityserver:testInstall Task started at 2012-09-24 17:15:46

mobilityserver:testInstall Parsing XML from Content Server was successful
mobilityserver:testInstall Task ended at 2012-09-24 07:45:47 (1.696 seconds)I do not find the file "writetest.php" anywhere.
I can see the errors in the log as "File does not exist: /opt/MS/msadmin/web/adminpanel/allProperties, referer: http://admin.ms1.coedomain.com:8001/"
Do you have any file named "allProperties" under "adminpanel " directory?
Probably because of this its not able to load the properties.
Thanks,

7. It started and installing the server upto 70% then a dialog box pop up with the following message
Do not click OK until you have completed all of the following steps:
1. If your platform requires you to manually deploy the Oracle
WebCenter Sites application, deploy Oracle WebCenter Sites now. Otherwise,

2. If you wish to customize your Oracle WebCenter Sites installation
and require access to Oracle WebCenter Sites's property files,
click the Property Editor button.
3. Restart your application server.
4. Click Test to test your installation and make sure all tests

What could went wrong here?

SriHi Tony,
I don't have mac o/s so am using Windows XP. I tried to open "Download the scripts and instructions here" from your blog but
it is opening a new window in the browser with some gybrish characters.
Here is what i did, as i explained it in my earlier post, now also i am facing the
same issue while setting up the server in GUI mode but in the log file it is showing
different exception now compare to the earlier one. I will explain the step by step approach of mine
1. start the Hsqldb2.2.8 in webserver mode (will the latest version cause any issue here?)
2. started the tomcat 6.0.35
3. As explained it in oracle site document for "installing webcenter sites in Tomcat" i did
the below changes
1. i downloaded the installation zip file and extracted it in my local m/c. Note:
this is not my installation folder.
2. then i went to cs-cache.xml,linked-cache.xml, ss-cache.xml and cas-cache.xml and
maintain the unique entries for multicastGroupAddress, multicasegroupport and timeToLive.
[I did the modification in the extracted folder thinking that it will get copied while
doing the installation, and my assumption is correct in the tomcat while deploying later i
saw all my entries in corresponding files ]
3. In jbossTicketCacheReplicationConfig.xml i modified mcast_addr="239.255.0.0" and
mcast_port as 4447
4. Then i started installing the content server, i gave the host name and port "localhost"
and "8080" wherever it is asking.
5. i clickec express installation instead of Custom settings
6. After installing it fro 73% again i got the same issue
7. When i was going through all the issues logs i found below issues.
a) it was not able to identify cache bean reference inside ticketRegistry.xml so i
commented out JBossCacheTicketRegistry and started using DefaultTicketRegistry in ticketRegistry.xml
<!-- Ticket Registry -->
<bean id="ticketRegistry" class="org.jasig.cas.ticket.registry.DefaultTicketRegistry"
/>
<!--<bean id="ticketRegistry" class="org.jasig.cas.ticket.registry.JBossCacheTicketRegistry"
p:cache-ref="cache" />
<bean id="cache" class="org.jasig.cas.util.JBossCacheFactoryBean"
p:configLocation="classpath:jbossTicketCacheReplicationConfig.xml" />
-->
Again i restarted the Tomcat server.....
b) In sites.log file i notice an exception

Now we have deployed the gadget server and community server 1.1.1 on top of content server 7.6 patch2 using the Installation guide for gadget server and community server.

R u installing both the gadget and community servers on the same machine/box where your CS is running?
If it is so, then let me tell you that gadget and community servers use some common services and ports.
Hence it is recommended that install gadget and community servers on separate boxes.

I am running my Mobile Server 11g and i want to test if Server works.
4.6 Testing Your Mobile Server Installation
To test whether your mobile server was installed correctly, test your mobile server through a browser with the following URL:
http://<machine-name>[:port]/mobile
I tried:
http://localhost:7001/mobile
Error 404--Not Found
http://localhost/mobile (without port 7001 form Weblogic Server)
http://desktoppc:7001/mobile (my machine name)
Error 404--Not Found
http://desktoppc/mobile
but i cannot access it... always an error.
please help me fix this error. thank you
jediHi Jedi,
Did you start the Mobile Server ? There is an Icon in the Program Group.
You should be able to see what port its running on appear in the command window when it starts up.
If you have started the Mobile Server but it does not appear to be accessible can you access the WLS Admin Console ? i.e.
http://localhost:7001/console
What logs do you have in the domain you set up i.e.
$OH\Middleware\user_projects\domains\mobileserver\servers\AdminServer\log

Oracle Database Mobile Server 11g
Hi,
We implemented Oracle EBS R11i for one of our customers. We also implemented Oracle Mobile Server 9i on Windows Server and Olite 9i on PDAs running Windows.
Now the customer wants to upgrade Oracle EBS to R12 and also upgrade Oracle Mobile Server and Olite 9i to newer versions of Oracle and also want to use Android on the PDAs/Mobile Devices.
Can we implement Oracle Database Mobile Server 11g and Mobile Client as mentioned in these links:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/products/database-mobile-server/dms-11g-datasheet-512117.pdf
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/products/database-mobile-server/overview/index.html
I think it will be a new implementation of Oracle Database Mobile server and Mobile client and not an upgrade.
Any suggestions is welcome.
Regards,
ThiruMFS embeds Olite into the product. Put another way, through MFS interfaces it defines/determines what functionality of mobile server can be used. Under the MFS configuration the Olite client database is used and the web-to-go app is used, there are no other choices. Very common when a software product includes some other product, it will determine what parts of the embedded product gets used.
Olite 10.3.0.3 as a separately download product used standalone has additional capability. Note: 10.3.0.3 is no longer separately downloadable over OTN.
In DMS 11.x -- we removed Olite client database, rearchitected sync to better fit BDB and allows for BDB and SQLite (either one of those can be used) on the client db. Again, MFS is only compatible with 10.3.0.3/2 right now. That team is a different development team within Oracle, on totally different release schedules than the Database Mobile Server development team. Android support was added in DMS 11.x.
thanks

Problem in configuring the Mobile Server.
Hi,
I am trying to configure Mobile Server for Apache for the Apache Server. I am following the steps listed in the Installation guide. As listed in the document I did the changes in the Apache Configuration file "httpd.conf" i.e. I included the Mobile Server module confuguration file into Apache Config file. On starting the apache server I am getting following listed warning,
"[Wed Apr 28 18:14:46 2004] [warn] Loaded DSO D:\oracle\oralite\mobile\server\bin\wtgapach.DLL uses plain Apache 1.3 API, this module might crash under EAPI! (please recompile it with -DEAPI)".
The Apache server is working and through browser I am able to access the default page. But as mentioned in the Mobile Server configuration section the Mobile server is not started or at least I do not know how to access the Mobile server through browser.
Please let me know if the cause of the warning message has any effect on the Mobile Server instantiation and if not how can I access the Mobile Server?
Thanks,
Sachin.Hi,
I am trying to install the Oracle Lite suit versioned 5.0.2 for Windows. The RDBMS is Oralce 9i (9.2.0.1). I am able to install the Mobile server. Refering the Installation mannual I am trying to configure and run the mobile serve in either standalone mode or with Oracle HTTP server. In the installation mannual it is mentioned that the HTTPD.conf file for apache http server should be modified to include the wtgapach.conf file from the Oralce Lite ORACLE_HOME\mobile\server\bin folder. On making this change and starting the apache server I am getting the error listed in the post. In the mannual it is mentioned that for standalone mode run the webtogo executable from the bin folder. On doing so I am getting a message
"D:\oracle\oralite\Mobile\Server\bin>webtogo
Unrecognized option: -Xrs"
So currently I am stuck and do not know how to start the mobile server. Please let me know the appropriate steps to start the Mobile server in stadalone as well as with Oracle HTTP server.
Also as mentioned by you I replaced the wtgapach.conf with wtgias.conf. The warning message which was displaying earlier on start of Apache is now gone but if tried to start the mobile server from the browser it is not working as expected.
Thanks and Regards,
Sachin. -
WebCenter Sites, Ananlytics, Community and compatibility
Hello,
I'm hoping someone can quickly carify something for me. I've been reviewing the following compatibility matrix to understand we have the correct certification.
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/webcenter/sites/owcs-11gr1certmatrix-1609746.xls
I just wanted to quickly understand the main difference between:
WebCentre Sites
WebCenter Sites: Analytics
WebCenter Sites: Community
We have a version of FatWire installed before Oracle aquired them and wish to upgrade. Am I correct in thinking that Analytics and Community are still WebCenter Sites overall, but with added functionality, etc?
Regards,
Jonathan"WebCenter Sites" was formerly "FatWire Content Server"
"WebCenter Sites: Analytics" was formerly "FatWire Analytics Server" (also briefly known as FatWire Content Optimizer)
"WebCenter Sites: Community" was formerly "FatWire Community Server"
Each are still separately installable products, the latter two both requiring installation(s) of WebCenter Sites to be of use.
"WebCenter Sites" is something of an umbrella term that can refer to the products it comprises of (Sites, Analytics, Community, Gadget and Mobility) but typically also just refers to the core product, what you know as Content Server.
If all you had before the acquisition was Content Server, then upgrading that to the latest version would put you on WebCenter Sites 11g. That wouldn't automatically give you Analytics etc, because they are still separate optional installations.

Trying to set up a new DB and Mobile server ....
I have a server runing ora 9i and mobile server 10.2 on linux,
Now trying to change the server to a new one with linux and
Oracle 10.1. and 10.3 as the mobile server.
Did the following steps.
1.All users were logged off in old server
2.stopped mobile server
2. Exported using system full db
3. imported the same to new system
4. Checked ADMIN_JDBC_URL,THIN_JDBC_URL and found the new server settings.
. every thing is fine except mobile server part.
when try to start mobile server it gives following.
[oracle@test bin]$ ./runmobileserver
2008-03-05 11:29:03.169 NOTIFICATION JMS Router is initiating ...
2008-03-05 11:29:04.188 ERROR J2EE HTTP0004 Internal error raised tyring to instantiate web-application: webtogo defined in web site OC4J 10g (10.1.3) Default Web Site. Application: mobileserver does not exist. Error creating Web application: webtogo
08/03/05 11:29:04 Oracle Containers for J2EE 10g (10.1.3.0.0) initialized
Then tryied ./repwizard and it says system does not have required priviledge. But as to the help section all roles were assigned to System.
if anyone has the correct method of transfering the entire db and mobileserver to a new server please post details.
I need to sync clients on the new server without refreshing.
Help is appreciated.Thanks rekounas,
I was out of the office for few days and back again at work.
I made a mistake while running the repwizard.
now its ok.
Problem was i was using mobileadmin to run repwizard.
But i tried it with database schema(back end) user and password now ok and
running on 10g r3. but it does a complete refresh on the new server. that takes time and i think there should be some parameter to make it only fast refresh. -
Content Server error post installing webcenter sites
Hi ,
I installed webcenter sites and post installation after login when click on "Contributor" link getting Content Server error while Admin mode is working fine.
On further debug below URL was internally hit which is giving 500 error : http://<hostname>:<port>/cs/ContentServer?pagename=fatwire/ui/controller/controller&elementName=UI/Layout"
Any pointer to root cause?

Is Search, Communications & Mobility Server included in webcenter license?
I wanted to know do we get the Enterprise Search, Content DB & communications & mobility server as part of the webcenter suite license ($50K)
I looked at the pricing list and it showed that these products were priced separately including the content for webcenter?
Does that mean I pay additional licese for the other software on top of the 50K for webcenter suite license? Can someone clarify this for me?Hi,
The best person to answer your questions is your Oracle Account Manager.
Saying that at a meeting with Oracle a few weeks ago I did hear what you get with WebCenter. The 50k license includes a license for ContentDB, Enterprise Search, a wiki, a Jive forum and of course the WebCenter framework.
It does not include the new Communications & Mobility server.

Sample JAVA Mobile Server Publish code, and technical questions
Dear Oracle technical representative, or user:
I need to programmatically create, and remove publications using the pure JAVA classes of Consolidator, ConsolidatorManager, and ResourceManager for the Mobile Server in OracleLite 9i Release 5.0.1. On the creation side I have managed to get the example found in the directory OraLite501\Mobile\Server\Sample\Sample11 functioning using my installation parameters. I had a very difficult time of it because (1) the sample11 code fails to open an jdbc connection to the Mobile Server Repository Schema with the function Consolidator.OpenConnection, and (2) the ResourceManager function openConnection will not work unless the Webtogo.ora file is in the current working directory. The ConsolidatorManager function OpenConnection may also not work unless the Webtogo.ora file is in the current working directory, but I did test the hypothesis. Both of these problems need to be addressed in the sample11 code, and documentation to save other software developers from wasting hours of their valuable time. See line 223, 386, and 448 in the Publish.Java code that follows this problem description.
With the above two problems resolved, I can now programmatically create publications, but no hints on how to programmatically remove a publication exist in the documentation. The application I am developing will require the dynamic creation, and removal of publications. Also, when developing applications the complete removal of a publication is absolutely necessary when you have botched a publication. Thus my first question is What sequence of ResourceManager, and ConsolidatorManager function calls will completely remove a Publication?.
I also have two issues remaining with the code that I have so far developed. These issues will most likely be resolved, when I obtain instructions on how to completely remove a publication, and associated users. But, perhaps not. Referencing the Publish.java file that follows this problem description,
1. The ResourceManager function dropUser does not drop a user. See my comments, and code beginning at line 277 in Publish.java. Do I need to de-instantiate all subscriptions, and unsubscribe all subscription users before calling this function.? I think, I tried the de-instantiate, unsubscribe sequence without success, but in the confusion I may not have made the try.
2. How do I get rid of an index created with the ConsolidatorManager function DropPublicationItemIndex?. My comments on this problem begin at line 522 in Publish.java. For some reason the DropPublicationItemIndex function call made below line 448 does not work. What function calls are required prior to calling the DropPublicationItemIndex function?
Throughout the Publish.java code, I have made comments about some of the problems that I have had in getting the sample11 code working for my installation parameters. I think these comments should help the programmers maintaining the ResourceManager, and ConsolidatorManager code improve the stability of the programs. Please pass these comments, and attached files to the appropriate individuals,
if you are in a position to do so.
The other files that follow the Publish.java code are
1. Compile.bat - Compiles Publish.java using j2sdk1.4.0.
2. Run.bat - Executes Publish using \ j2sdk1.4.0\jre\server\jvm.dll.
3. Webtogo.ora
4. tnsnames.ora for the Mobile Server.
5. tnsnames.ora for the Database.
Feel free to access my server if you need to do so in resolving my problems. The parameters you will need to gain access can be found at the top of Publish.java, and in the included *.ora files.
Thanks,
Thomas G. Matney

End Database tnsnames.ora fileDear Oracle technical representative, or user:
I need to programmatically create, and remove publications using the pure JAVA classes of Consolidator, ConsolidatorManager, and ResourceManager for the Mobile Server in OracleLite 9i Release 5.0.1. On the creation side I have managed to get the example found in the directory OraLite501\Mobile\Server\Sample\Sample11 functioning using my installation parameters. I had a very difficult time of it because (1) the sample11 code fails to open an jdbc connection to the Mobile Server Repository Schema with the function Consolidator.OpenConnection, and (2) the ResourceManager function openConnection will not work unless the Webtogo.ora file is in the current working directory. The ConsolidatorManager function OpenConnection may also not work unless the Webtogo.ora file is in the current working directory, but I did test the hypothesis. Both of these problems need to be addressed in the sample11 code, and documentation to save other software developers from wasting hours of their valuable time. See line 223, 386, and 448 in the Publish.Java code that follows this problem description.
With the above two problems resolved, I can now programmatically create publications, but no hints on how to programmatically remove a publication exist in the documentation. The application I am developing will require the dynamic creation, and removal of publications. Also, when developing applications the complete removal of a publication is absolutely necessary when you have botched a publication. Thus my first question is What sequence of ResourceManager, and ConsolidatorManager function calls will completely remove a Publication?.
I also have two issues remaining with the code that I have so far developed. These issues will most likely be resolved, when I obtain instructions on how to completely remove a publication, and associated users. But, perhaps not. Referencing the Publish.java file that follows this problem description,
1. The ResourceManager function dropUser does not drop a user. See my comments, and code beginning at line 277 in Publish.java. Do I need to de-instantiate all subscriptions, and unsubscribe all subscription users before calling this function.? I think, I tried the de-instantiate, unsubscribe sequence without success, but in the confusion I may not have made the try.
2. How do I get rid of an index created with the ConsolidatorManager function DropPublicationItemIndex?. My comments on this problem begin at line 522 in Publish.java. For some reason the DropPublicationItemIndex function call made below line 448 does not work. What function calls are required prior to calling the DropPublicationItemIndex function?
Throughout the Publish.java code, I have made comments about some of the problems that I have had in getting the sample11 code working for my installation parameters. I think these comments should help the programmers maintaining the ResourceManager, and ConsolidatorManager code improve the stability of the programs. Please pass these comments, and attached files to the appropriate individuals,
if you are in a position to do so.
The other files that follow the Publish.java code are
1. Compile.bat - Compiles Publish.java using j2sdk1.4.0.
2. Run.bat - Executes Publish using \ j2sdk1.4.0\jre\server\jvm.dll.
3. Webtogo.ora
4. tnsnames.ora for the Mobile Server.
5. tnsnames.ora for the Database.
Feel free to access my server if you need to do so in resolving my problems. The parameters you will need to gain access can be found at the top of Publish.java, and in the included *.ora files.
Thanks,
Thomas G. Matney

Oracle 9I Database, and Mobile Server install history
Dear Oracle technical representative:
This TAR started out as a true request for help in solving installation problems with Oracle 9i Release 2 Enterprise Edition, and Oracle 9i Mobile Server Release 5.0.1, but it has turned into a history of frustration with out of date, laconic, and often incorrect, and misleading documentation. As a software developer, I understand that documentation is always out of date, at least mine is. Nonetheless, I must speak my mind while understanding, and sympathizing with your situation.
I struggled through the documentation, and managed to get everything working. While I was doing that, I wrote down the step by step procedure that I used to get Database, and Mobile Server running. By sharing this rough install history with you, it is my hope that it will help prevent others from experiencing the same difficulties that I have had. It has been my observation that when a user has problems installing a trial software package they give up quickly, and do not purchase a copy. It is thus extremely important that the installation instructions, and quick start guide be accurate, attentive to detail, and well written. The first impression is the one that counts.
The Oracle 9i Lite Installation, and Configuration Guide for Windows NT shipped with Oracle 9i Lite Release 5.0.1 definitely requires, and emergency rewrite. It is terribly out of date, inaccurate, and laconic. My guess is that it is a very sloppy rewrite of poorly written 8i documentation. The Oracle 9i Database Installation Guide for Windows is somewhat better. It however should do a better job informing you that before installing onto a old server the Microsoft Foundation Class (MFC), and VC runtime libraries must be up to date. The history describes the trouble with not having the MFC42.dll at version 6. Another corker is that the default port the installer presents is 2030, and not 1521, and that leads to major confusion in the both the Database, and Mobile Server installs.
Thank you for looking at the history. I hope that it will be of use to you when you update your documentation.

TAR for Oracle 9i Release 2 Database Enterprise Edition, and Oracle Lite Release 5.0.1 Mobile Server
Installation problems are highlighted in red.
Installation sequence/history:
1. Installed Windows NT 4.0 Server SP1 on Dell Power Edge 4300 dual x86 server to wipe the slate clean.
2. Setup TCP/IP, and IPX/SPX networks
Computer name YGGDRASILL
Host name = YGGDRASILL
Domain = CFR.MSSTATE.EDU
Internet name = YGGDRASILL.CFR.MSSATE.EDU = 130.18.130.225
3. Installed NT SP3, and Internet Explorer 4.01 from the NT 40 Options Pack CD as the gateway to installing MTS 2.0, and IIS 4.0.
4. Installed MTS 2.0, and IIS 4.0 from NT 4.0 Optins Pack CD.
5. Applied NT 4.0 SP6.
6. Installed Internet Explorer 5.5 as a prerequisite to installing MADAC 2.6.
7. Installed MDAC 2.6
8. Installed Paint Shop Pro 7 for capturing error screens.
9. As previous install errors stated that the ordinal function xxxx could not be found in MFC42.dll, the latest version (6.0.8665.0) of the dll was installed, and registered from MS VC++ SP5. Also I upgraded MSVCIRT.dll, MSVCRT.dll, MSCRT40.dll, and added MSVC60.dll from SP5 to be on the safe side.
According to the installation documents all the prerequisites for installing Oracle 9i Release 2 Database Enterprise Edition are satisfied.
10. Began install of Oracle Database Enterprise Edition with target parameters:
Home directory = D:\Oracle\Ora92
Database directory = D:\Oracle\oradata
Global database name = FIA.YGGDRASILL.CFR.MSSTATE.EDU
Port = 2030
SID = FIA
SYSTEM Password = phwphw
SYS Password = phwphw
SCOTT Password = phwphw
DBSNMP Password = I left this one unassigned or empty.
tnsnames.ora entry for remote TCP/IP connection
a. CD 1 of 3 load
1. Error writting to MFC42u.dll. Action ignore. A check indicated that MFC42u.dll version did not match the updated version of MFC42.dll. Plan is to update after install. Unicode version of MFC is probably not used by the installer.
b. CD 1 completed with only one problem, and CD 2 load begins.
c. CD 2 installed without incident., and CD 3 load begins, and completes without farther problems. The only issue to address at this time is to update the MFC42u.dll.
HTTP Server URLs
http://7778
https://4443
12. Evaluation of install success begins.
a. Oracle HTTP Service will not start. It is of particular interest that on installs that I do not upgrade the MFC42.dll the Oracle HTTP Service will start correctly, but during the install I get the error message Ordinal nnnn not found in MFC42.dll, and the Oracle MTS Recovery Service crashes during the install. I am caught between a rock and hard spot on this one. See the Figure 1. At the end of this document. I do not need the HTTP Server at this time but I will need it later and this issue must be resolved. It appears that it hangs during startup. I am sorry but I lost the ordinal number nnnn.
When I try to start the HTTP server from the Programs menu. It Hangs, and does not return an error message. See Figure 2, and the included Apache Setup.txt, the install log, and the HTTPd.conf . The conf, and setup files look OK to me. What is the problem?
b. All other services start correctly.
c. Logged into the database as SCOTT on the server with SQL Plus using the connection information:
FIA.CFR.MSSTATE.EDU =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = yggdrasill)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = FIA.YGGDRASILL.CFR.MSSTATE.EDU)
I created some tables, inserted data, and queried for the data. Everthing seems to be working correctly.
d. Logged in remotely from my AOL account on a dial-up line using Oracle 9i Release 2 Personal Edition installed on my ThinkPad. Every thing tested out as above. I used the connection information:
FIA.CFR.MSSTATE.EDU =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = yggdrasill.cfr.msstate.edu)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = FIA.YGGDRASILL.CFR.MSSTATE.EDU)
13. I concluded that except for the Oracle HTTP Server Service not starting correctly, and that after updating the MFC42u.dll to VC++ SP5 level the stage is set for installing Oracle 9i Mobile Server Release 5.0.1. I copied the MFC42u.dll to the server and registered it successfully.
14. As Visual Studio 6.0 Professional updates all of the MFC stuff, I decides to install it at this juncture, and apply SP5.
15. Installed JDK1.3.1 required for Oracle 9i Mobile Server Release 5.0.1
At this time the prerequisites for installing Oracle 9i Mobile Server Release 5.0.1 are satisfied, and MFC, and rt are at version 6.
It is important to note that after installing MS Visual Studio Professional 6.0 SP5, the HTTP server started working. It is clear that prior to installing Oracle Database it is essential that MFC, and possibly other components are upgraded before starting an installation of Oracle. This probably only applies to old NT servers, but it should be mentioned in the installation instructions.
16. Attempt to install Oracle Mobile Server Release 5.0.1
a. File locations Screen
Name: = OraLite501
Path: = D:\OraLite501
b. Select Mobile Server at Installation Screen
c. Mobile Server Repository Database Information Screen
Hostname = YGGDRASILL = hostname from tnsnames.ora
Port = 2030 = same as Database port
It is troublesome that the port in tsnames.ora is 1521, and not 2030 as was specified in the database install. I will try this port on the reinstall. On the retry, it worked. The problem was that I was mislead by the default port of 2030 at the database install. The database was actually installed on port 1521, and I was not given an error message, or warning. As I am a first time installer of Oracle products this threw me for a loop. The default port for the database needs to be 1521, if regardless of what the user specifies for a port you are going to install on port 1521.
Net Service Name = FIA.YGGDRASILL.CFR.MSSTATE.EDU = Global database name as required by installation instructions.
d. Yes. At Do you want to install the Mobile Server Repository question.
e. At Oracle Protocol Support, I checked the SPX box.
f. Summary, and Install screens function to specifications.
g. Mobile Server Repository Wizard
Database System password:
Password = phwphw
h. Mobile Server Repository Wizard
Schema Name: fiafield
Password : fiafield
i. Success at last with the install part. The problem was the wrong port number. See my above comments on this problem, and how Oracle could grease the skids for the next first time installer.
j. I could not find the httpd.conf file in the place the install instructions said it should be for running the Mobile Server in Oracle HTTP Server. Since only one copy of httpd.conf existed, I added the include D:\OraLite501\mobile\server\bin\wtgias.conf to the bottom of the file assuming that it is the correct one. I the re-booted instead of using apache -k restart. The Oracle HTTP Server started, so there is hope. The install instructions state that the httpd.conf file would most likely be in the program files directory, when they are really installed in the Oracle Lite home directory.
k. According to the documentation the Mobile Server should start when the Oracle HTTP Server starts with the wtgias.conf file added to the httpd.conf file. It does not. If I use Process Explorer, I know that Apache loaded the wtgias.conf, because both Apache.exe processes that are running have the wtgias.dll loaded. The facts are at this stage of the game are
1. OraMTSRecoveryService is started
2. OracleOraHome92HTTPService is started
3. OracleOraHome92Listener is started on port
4. OracleServiceFIA is started
5. Apache.exe has the wtgias.dll loaded
6. The Moble Server is not running and it should be if the documentation is correct.
7. If I start the Mobile Server either as a service using wtgsvc -i or with the webtogo command from the DOS prompt, the Mobile Server starts, but when I attempt to log in with the URL http://Yggdrasill:7778/webtogo/startup it inform me the Mobile Server is not started and it is. Figure 3 shows the response I receive from the login attempt.
l. I finally ran the Mobile Server in total debug mode using the command webtogo -d0", and it gave me the subtle hint that the correct URL is
http://Yggdrasill.cfr.msstate.edu/webtogo/startup.
When I use the above URL and I can login to the Mobile Server with UN = fiafield, and PW = fiafield. I was confused by the documentation. I was under the assumption that the host address would be either http://Yggdrasill:7778, or http://Yggdrasill:4443. After all when I, installed Oracle Database these URLs were listed. It needs to be made clear in the installation guide for the mobile server that the Mobile Server address is http://Your servers WWW address/webtogo/startup, and the statements about the Mobile Server will start when the Oracle HTTP Server is started needs to be removed since they are incorrect. Also, the documentation should clearly state that the Schema Name, and Password given in the Repository Wizard Screen are synonymous with the username, and password for the Mobile Server login.
m. After determning the hard way that the Mobile Server does not start when the the Oracle HTTP Server starts, and that the correct URL is http://Internet address/webtogo/startup = http://Yggdrasill.cfr.msstate.edu/webtogo/startup, I decide to start the Mobile Server as a service with the command wtgsvc -i. After I re-booted, to my surprise, I could not login to the Mobile Server. When I checked the system services, the webtogo service was running. So to give the start as a service thing a fair chance I re-booted again, but obtained the same results. I thus concluded that the Mobile Server will not run correctly as a service. As it turns out my conclusion was wrong. After waiting a few minutes, my login try was successful. The documentation should indicate that after booting it may be a minute or two before the Mobile Server service become available.
n. After some serious problems with the installer, and the documentation everything is working. I have a green light to go on to the next stage, which is program the handheld to take advantage of the Mobile Server. I will be glad to get back to programming, and am so thankful that I am not a network administrator.
