What is the realtion Fusion Middleware and Oracle HTTP Server?

Hi,
Can someone explain me why is WebLogic necessary to administrate graohically the Oracle 11g HTTP Server?
What means what I found in the documentation:
"To display Fusion Middleware Control, you enter the Fusion Middleware Control
URL, which includes the name of the WebL
ogic Administration Server host and the
port number assigned to
Fusion Middleware Control during the installation"
Does this means that Weblogic need to be installed and configured?
Kind regards.

Hi,
If you want to control OHS via GUI then deploying Oracle Enterprise Manager FMW Control is the only option.
And for the same you need to have weblogic, bcoz OEM FMW control would be deployed as an application on the weblogic server.
If you are going to use other products in FMW stack (Example: Forms and reports services 11g), then complete administration would be done through FMW control.
Monitoring and administering your weblogic clusters, ohs, webcache everything can be done though single interface.
Please do not go with assumption that only from GUI all these things can be done, command line is the best thing and the option is there.
Consider this only as an enhancement.

Down Time for Installing APEX 4.2.1 and oracle HTTP server?

Hi, all:
I plan to install APEX 4.2.1 and oracle HTTP server on 10.2.0.4 database.
Is there any down time required during installation?
I mean during installation, do I need to block users from accessing the database?
Can they do their normal data entry / inquiry?
thanks,
John
ps. There will be server backup before installation.

Hi,
Documentation says
>
3.1 Recommended Pre-installation Tasks
Before installing Oracle Application Express, Oracle recommends that you complete the following steps:
Review and satisfy all Oracle Application Express installation requirements. See "Oracle Application Express Installation Requirements".
Shut down with normal or immediate priority the Oracle Database instances where you plan to install Oracle Application Express. On Oracle Real Application Clusters (Oracle RAC) systems, shut down all instances on each node.
An alternative to shutting down the database is to prevent all users from accessing Oracle Application Express when upgrading your installation from a previous release of Oracle Application Express. Oracle only recommends this option in high availability production environments where planned outages are not available. For all other scenarios, the database should be shut down.
To disable access to Oracle Application Express when the existing installation is using the Application Express Listener, shut down the appropriate application server where the Application Express listener is deployed.
To disable user access to Oracle Application Express when the existing installation is using the Oracle HTTP Server with mod_plsql, you should either shut down the Web server or disable the Application Express Database Access Descriptor of the Web server.
For an existing installation using the embedded PL/SQL gateway, you should disable the Oracle XML DB Protocol Server by setting the HTTP port to 0. This can be accomplished by starting SQL*Plus, connecting as SYS to the database where Oracle Application Express is installed, and running:
EXEC DBMS_XDB.SETHTTPPORT(0);
Once you have prevented access from Oracle Application Express users, you should log into SQL*Plus as SYS, connecting to the database where Oracle Application Express is installed, and query V$SESSION to ensure there are no long running sessions which would interfere with the upgrade process.
Back up the Oracle Database installation.
Oracle recommends that you create a backup of the current Oracle Database installation before you install Oracle Application Express. You can use Oracle Database Recovery Manager, which is included in the Oracle Database installation, to perform the backup.
See Also:
Oracle Database Backup and Recovery User's Guide
Start the Oracle Database instance that contains the target database.
After backing up the system, you must start the Oracle instance that contains the target Oracle database. Do not start other processes such as a Web Listener. However, if you are performing a remote installation, make sure the database listener for the remote database has started.

ISQLPlus and Oracle HTTP Server

After I reinstalled Oracle 9i on Windows XP, I now get a a FastCGI server error whenever I attempt to launch Oracle HTTP Server: "Redefinition of previously defined FastCGI Server". How do I correct this? I uninstalled the database prior to reinstalling. Question 2: I also installed Oracle 9i on Windows 98 and Oracle HTTP Server appears NOT to be part of the install so I don't know how to make iSQLPlus work. Any ideas on either of these? I would prefer to work on Windows XP.

In answer to your first question, it may be answered in this SQL*Plus FAQ entry:
http://otn.oracle.com/support/tech/sql_plus/htdocs/runtime.html#isql_duplicate_entries
In answer to your second question, I don't think iSQL*Plus is part of the Windows 98 install. I don't think you even have a database, just the Oracle Client.

Can you run Embedded PL/SQL Gateway and Oracle HTTP Server at the same time

Hi,
I know this will sound a bit odd but their is a business case for asking this. Can you run APEX via the Embedded PL/SQL Gateway and the Oracle HTTP Server at the same time? Would their be any security/stability/etc issues I'd need to worry about? I know that I'll need to run them on different ports.
Thank you,
Martin Giffy D'Souza
[http://apex-smb.blogspot.com/]

I think I've done this in the past. Theres no technical reason why you can't do this as far as I know.
I can't remember if I used different ports or same port.

APEX and Oracle HTTP server

Scenario
We are considering using APEX with Oracle 10g. However, we don't have Oracle application server.At the same time we do not want to use the Oracle HTTP server(OHS) on the database server. The propsed application intend to use by approx. 5000 users
Questions
As APEX requires just OHS and mod_plsql plugin,
1. Can we install just Oracle HTTP server and mod_plsql on standalone server? Which CD need to be used?
2. Can OHS can be licensed separately as Oracle Internet application server(Enterprise Edition) based on processor licensing is expensive and not affordable.However, there are other options like Standard Edition and Standard Edition One as well but do not require any other options except OHS and mod_plsql plugin.Hence, what is the cost effective option to have OHS and mod_plsql as a middle tier component to deploy APEX applications
Thanks in advance

All,
I'm by no means a security expert, but I don't think this is a best practice. I think the best practice is to use two HTTP servers: one in the DMZ and one on the DB server. The one in the DMZ can be a standard Apache install - it acts as a proxy server and does not need mod_plsql. The second should be OHS. This configuration allows you to block ports that are usually used to communicate with the DB from the server in the DMZ.
Did I get that right or am I way off?

Is my configuration correct? PHP and Oracle HTTP server

Hi all,
I have a single server running RHEL5 x86-64 and Oracle 11.1. I also have the Oracle HTTP Server which purportedly has "PHP support".
I am trying to do a basic test connect to my database, but I'm getting an error.
My test is the following:
<html>
PHP Test with Oracle<head>
<body>
<pre>
<?php
$conn = oci_connect('scott', 'tiger', 'myserver/MYDBSERVICE');
if (!$conn) {
trigger_error("Could not connect to database", E_USER_ERROR);
?>
</pre>
</body>
</html>When I open the page, I see the following:
PHP Test with Oracle
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: oci_connect() in /u01/app/oracle/product/HTTP_Server/ohs/htdocs/phptest/dtest4.php on line 6
I've also tried phpinfo() and get the following:
oci8
OCI8 Support enabled
Revision $Revision: apache_modules/mod_php/4.3.9/ext/oci8/oci8.c#0 $
Oracle Version 10.1
Compile-time ORACLE_HOME /ade/svadugur_mjoyphp4311/oracle
Libraries Used no value
Any idea what may be going on? I've looked through much documentation already before posting to no avail.
Thank you for any insight.

The oci_* names were introduced in PHP 5. In PHP 4 the equivalent connection command is ocilogon(). For other mappings see Appendix C of the free book http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/php/underground-php-oracle-manual-098250.html
I'd recommend you upgrade PHP. See "Installing OCI8 with Oracle Application Server on Linux" on p 76 of that book. Note the warnings.

Web Service and Oracle HTTP Server

I have a web environment with Oracle Database 10.2.0.3 , oracle http server (using mod_plsql), Oracle pl/sql web toolkit. I need to create a web service that is accessed externally which will interact with the database (select, insert, delete). Is it possible to publish a web service to the Oracle Http Server or to implement web services with the environment above

Hello,
In RDBMS 10g you cannot directly expose WS from the DB you need to use the OracleAS Web Service Runtime to do it, following this documentation:
- Developing Web Services that Expose Database Resources
This is true if we are talking about "tooling/runtime/API" but after all Web Services are mainly XML (WSDL and SOAP) so it is still possible to create by hands (PL/SQL & static files) but it is probably a long work depending of the complexity of your services.
Also, in RDBMS 11, you can now directly expose WS from the DB using the embedded HTTP server, see this Oracle 11g New Features Document
Note that before taking one approach you must take time to write up your requirement regarding Web Services eg: do I need security, which time of encoding, interoperability, ..., ... For example WS-Security that is the standard to secure SOAP messages is not (yet) supported by the Oracle 11g RDBMS Native Web Services... where when you do use the WS-Runtime you can secure the Web Service..

Installation of the VeriSign digital certification in Oracle HTTP Server

I am not obtaining to generate to the pair of keys and the CSR in Oracle HTTP Server, will have some tip I is thankful.
Thanks
Leandro

Hi Leandro,
Here are some steps to setup digital certificates into Oracle HTTP Server for Unix.
1. The temporary working directory is /u01/tmp/myssl.
2. The contents of <9iAS_HOME>/Apache/open_ssl/bin have been copied to the
temporary working directory created in Assumption #1.
3. SSL file names are priv.key (private key), certreq.csr (certificate request),
and cert.crt (SSL certificate). The actual SSL certificate file could be
named other than 'cert.crt'.
4. By default, SSL is configured using port 443, which requires ROOT access to
start the web listener.
If you want to change this from the default port, you will need to change
the following two parameters in the httpd.conf file to an unused port number:
Listen 443
<VirtualHost default:443>
5. All necessary UNIX environment variables are set correctly for your Oracle
product before implementing these procedures.
6. User must be familiar with UNIX concepts like shell navigation, UNIX
environments, file manipulation/search, file copy/backups, etc.
How to Request and Configure an SSL Certificate for Oracle9i Application Server
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Change your present working directory to the temporary working directory, e.g.,
/u01/tmp/myssl. Ensure the contents of <9iAS_HOME>/Apache/open_ssl/bin have
been copied into this temporary working directory.
2. Copy 5 large files, each at least 250KB, into your temporary working directory.
Suggest looking in any /bin directory for large sized binary files. Execute
the following command to generate the random character file:
 % openssl md5 * > rand.rnd
3. Execute the following command to generate the private key (priv.key):
% openssl genrsa -rand rand.rnd -des3 1024 > priv.key
 - when prompted, enter a "PEM pass phrase" password
 - re-enter password when prompted to verify password
 -- remember the pass phrase password you entered
 - this command generates the priv.key file and associated pass phrase
 - set permissions on the priv.key file to prevent unauthorized editing
 % chmod 400 priv.key
 - backup the priv.key file to a secure location
NOTE
The PEM pass phrase must be at least 4 characters in length. Remember this
pass phrase, you will be prompted to enter it in the next step and each
time you start up the Oracle HTTP Server (OHS) in SSL mode.
Optionally, you can unencrypt the value of the private key, so that you
will not be prompted for the PEM pass phrase every time you start up OHS
in SSL mode.
To unencrypt the private key, execute the following two commands (Note:
ensure file permissions set to r+w):
 % cp priv.key priv.key.bak
 % openssl rsa -in priv.key.bak -out priv.key
- the demo certificate shipped with Oracle9iAS does not require a pass
phrase to start OHS in SSL mode.
- on UNIX, to generate the certificate request and start OHS in SSL mode,
the pass phrase must be entered, unless you executed the above steps
to unencrypt.
- on Windows NT/2000, if a certificate is used that has a pass phrase,
the OHS will hang; therefore, on Windows NT/2000, you must execute
the steps to unencrypt.
4. Execute the following command to generate an SSL certificate request
(certreq.csr) based on your private key.
 % openssl req -new -key priv.key -out certreq.csr -config openssl.cnf
 - when prompted, enter the "PEM pass phrase" set when the private key
was created.
 - when prompted, enter the requested fields that make up the
Distinguished Name.
 -- each entry must be valid information, i.e., email, state, location, etc.
 - when prompted for the "Common Name", you MUST enter the fully
qualified name which will be accessed via client browsers; e.g.,
if clients will use:
https://mysite.domain.com
 -- then, you must enter mysite.domain.com as the "Common Name"
 - the requested 'extra' attributes, i.e., "challenge password" and
"optional company name", are OPTIONAL; just hit ENTER to use NULL values.
5. You should now have the private key and certificate request files (priv.key
and certreq.csr) in your temporary working directory.
NOTE
At this point, you can use your certificate request file 'certreq.csr' to
order a valid SSL certificate from any CA-vendor, e.g., Verisign.
After you receive your SSL certificate, skip to Step #6 for instructions
on how to deploy your SSL files.
OPTIONAL
You can start 9iAS in SSL mode (see Step #12) and test the pre-installed demo
certificate and private key included for testing purposes.
It is a good idea to test to be sure the Oracle HTTP Server SSL mode works
successfully before deploying your new SSL certificate. To try these demo
files, access the 9iAS index page in a browser using the HTTPS protocol and
the appropriate SSL Listen port. URL format:
https://myhost.domain.com:<ssl_port>
The user will see a Security Alert (IE), or New Site Certificate (Netscape)
warning message, click Continue/Next to accept.
OPTIONAL
To create a self-signed certificate, execute the following commands:
(csh) % setenv RANDFILE rand.rnd
<sh or ksh> % export RANDFILE=rand.rnd
% openssl x509 -req -days 30 -in certreq.csr -signkey priv.key > tempcert.crt
- when prompted, enter the "PEM pass phrase" set when the private key was created.
- this command generates a temporary self-signed certificate file 'tempcert.crt'
valid for 30 days, which can be used while awaiting a valid SSL certificate
purchased from an authorized CA-vendor.
- if this option is used, after generating the 'tempcert.crt' file, skip to
Step #6 for instructions on how to deploy your SSL files.
OPTIONAL
These steps are specifically for requesting a TRIAL certificate from the
CA-vendor Verisign.
- Go to www.verisign.com and click on "Free Guides and Trials" link and
follow instructions to request a "Free Trial SSL ID". During this process,
you will be asked to provide certificate request information.
- Open the 'certreq.csr' file using your text editor of choice.
- Starting with "-----BEGIN NEW CERTIFICATE REQUEST-----" copy all lines
including the BEGIN and END of certificate lines.
- Paste this copied data into the Verisign page where requested and continue.
- You will see the Verisign web site decode your certificate request
information. This decoded information is presented to you to verify it is
correct. If it is, then continue with the process.
- You will be presented with another set of questions from Verisign. Be sure
to answer with the correct email address, as this address will be used to
send your SSL certificate.
- After you answer all these questions, you will be sent a TRIAL 14-day
SSL certificate via email.
- WARNING! You must follow this step carefully, you cannot copy and paste
information from an email to a new text file. After you get your TRIAL
certificate, save the entire email message to a text file. Open this file
using your text editor of choice. You will see the email address header
information and the line:
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
- Delete all text that appears before the -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- line.
The modified file should contain only certificate information. After you
delete the email header, save this text file inside your temporary directory
with the filename 'trialcert.crt'.
6. Now you are ready to configure Oracle9i Application Server (9iAS) with your
SSL certificate files.
7. Back up your existing <9iAS_HOME>/Apache/Apache/conf/httpd.conf file.
8. Open the httpd.conf file with your text editor of choice.
9. Edit the following httpd.conf directives to use your generated private key
and SSL certificate file, which could be the filename for either the
temporary self-signed certificate, the TRIAL test certificate, or the
purchased valid certificate. The information following the # symbol are
comments.
NOTE
The directory of the SSL files (private key and certificate file)
can reside in any location you choose. The temporary working
directory will continue to be referenced in these procedure steps.
# use the appropriate (i.e., valid, temporary, or trial) certificate filename
SSLCertificateFile /u01/tmp/myssl/tempcert.crt
#private key from Step #4 above:
SSLCertificateKeyFile /u01/tmp/myssl/priv.key
10. Save your modified httpd.conf and exit the text editor.
11. Log in as authorized user (if default ports 80 and 443 are used, ROOT user
must execute commands in next step).
12. Execute the following command to stop, then start Apache in SSL mode
(ensure proper UNIX environments are set; else, execute command from
<9iAS_HOME>/Apache/Apache/bin.)
For Oracle8iAS 1.x:
% httpdsctl stop
% httpdsctl startssl
For Oracle9iAS 1.0.2.x:
% apachectl stop
% apachectl startssl
- when prompted, enter the "pass phrase" created in Step #3.
-- not required if you unencrypted the private key file
- when the Oracle HTTP Server starts successfully in SSL mode, access the
9iAS index page in a browser using the HTTPS protocol and the appropriate
SSL Listen port. URL format:
https://myhost.domain.com:<ssl_port>
- if using a temporary self-signed or TRIAL test certificate, the user will
see a Security Alert (IE), or New Site Certificate (Netscape) warning message,
click Continue/Next to accept.

What is the Diffrence between Adaptive and Webi Job Server

Hello,
What is the diffrence between Adaptive Job server and Webi Job server?
In my BO server we didn't have Webi Job server but we are able to schedule the webi reports successfully.
Any Idea on this.
Thanks,
Nimesh.

I believe the Adaptive Job Server is on a generic shell server that behave as a Webi Job Server when it processes webi reports, as a program job server when it processes program object etc.

What are the correct steps for installing Oracle Entitlement Server SSM?

Can somebody explain what are the correct steps to install OES SSM 10.1.4.3? I have installed OES admin 10.1.4.3 and applied the CP2 patch. it is allowing me to open Entitlement Administration, where I can define the policy.
Is it sufficient to have this Entitlement Admin to call the policy from BPM? Do I need a SSM ?
When I try to configure Java SSM using ConfigTool.bat -process myssm_config.properties I am getting the following error

Example of a successful reverse proxy to APEX using Apache and Oracle HTTP

If this helps anyone, I was able to set up a reverse proxy to APEX with Apache running on the reverse proxy server and Oracle HTTP server and APEX 3.2 on the APEX hosting server. I want to post this due to there is no
documentation on this that I can find. Oracle Metalink could not produce any "How To" document either.

And in the Oracle HTTP server httpd.conf file of the APEX hosting server:
NameVirtualHost 999.99.99.9:8080
<VirtualHost 999.99.99.9:8080>
ServerAdmin [email protected]
DocumentRoot "/u01/app/ora11g/product/11.1.0/http_1/ohs/htdocs"
ServerName reverse_proxy_server.com
</VirtualHost>

Here is what I saw :
I have one Web Server 7.0 instance with the following obj.conf :
<Object name="default">
<If $uri =~ "/xyz">
NameTrans fn="map" from="/" name="reverse-proxy-/xyz" to="/"
</If>
<ElseIf $uri =~ "/abc">
NameTrans fn="map" from="/" name="reverse-proxy-/abc" to="/"
</ElseIf>
</Object>
<Object ppath="*">
Service fn="proxy-retrieve" method="*"
</Object>
<Object name="reverse-proxy-/abc">
Route fn="set-origin-server" server="http://server1.sun.com:80"
</Object>
<Object name="reverse-proxy-/xyz">
Route fn="set-origin-server" server="http://server2.sun.com:80"
</Object> ...When I send a request to URI :
/abc/test1.html : the request gets served from server1 from docs/abc/test1.html.
/xyz/test2.html : the request gets served from server2 from docs/xyz/test2.html
Where as when you change obj.conf to (note the change in "from" parameter in "map" SAF)
<Object name="default">
<If $uri =~ "/xyz">
NameTrans fn="map" from="/xyz" name="reverse-proxy-/xyz" to="/"
</If>
<ElseIf $uri =~ "/abc">
NameTrans fn="map" from="/abc" name="reverse-proxy-/abc" to="/"
</ElseIf>
</Object>
<Object ppath="*">
Service fn="proxy-retrieve" method="*"
</Object>
<Object name="reverse-proxy-/abc">
Route fn="set-origin-server" server="http://server1:80"
</Object>
<Object name="reverse-proxy-/xyz">
Route fn="set-origin-server" server="http://server2:80"
</Object> ...In this case when I send a request to URI :
/abc/test1.html : the request gets served from server1 from docs/test1.html.
/xyz/test2.html : the request gets served from server2 from docs/test2.html.

Oracle Http server 11g, change ports with command-line tool

I have installed the WLS11g webtier's Oracle Http server 11g. I installed the OH 11g only.
The OH is runing fine with ports: non-ssl 7779 and ssl 4444
I want to change the ssl port to 443 such that we can have the url without showing the port as https://hostname.domain/
I have looked up the documnet http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E15523_01/core.1111/e10105/ports.htm#CIHJIFHB for "managing port".
it states "You can change the port numbers for some Oracle Fusion Middleware components, using Fusion Middleware Control, Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console, or *the command line*."
Because I only installed the OH, I have no the Fusion Middleware control , admin console available for making the port change. And I cannot find out how to the command line tool to make the change.
I followed the steps in section 5.3.2.1 Enabling Oracle HTTP Server to Run as Root for Ports Set to Less Than 1024 (UNIX Only) http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E15523_01/core.1111/e10105/ports.htm#CIHJEEJH
And I did edit ssl.conf for port change to 443 ---- this is not documented in the document. I think because Oracle wants you to use the console to make the change.
OH is not working after I made the change.
Does anyone know how to use the commend line tool for making the port changes for OH11g?
Thanks

Hi,
if u want to achieve it using JMX then u can try :
http://middlewaremagic.com/weblogic/?p=613
Using Command Line Option WLST you can do it in ONLINE Mode...like:
Step1). Please run the ". ./setWLSEnv.sh" script to set the CLASSPATH & PATH in the shell prompt.
NOTE: Run the “setWLSEnv.sh” by adding two DOTs separated by a single space …..before the actual script like following : (use ‘cd’ command to move inside the <BEA_HOME>/wlserver_10.3/server/bin) then run the following command….
*. ./setWLSEnv.sh*
Note: the first DOT represents that set the Environment in the current Shell, AND the second ./ represents execute the script from the current directory.
Step2). Now in the same Shell Prompt please run the WLST Utility like following:

java weblogic.WLST
wls:/offline> connect()
Please enter your username [weblogic] : weblogic
Please enter your password [weblogic] : weblogic
Please enter your server URL [t3://localhost:7001] : t3://localhost:7001
Connecting to t3://localhost:7001 with userid weblogic ...
edit()
startEdit()
cd ('Servers/AdminServer')
cmo.setListenPort(9999)
save()
activate()

Now you NEED NOT to restart your Server to reflact these Changes....
The Above JMX Code is also able to do it in Runtime only on the Fly.
Thanks
