Deploying multiple apps on OC4J

I am wondering what are "best practices" for deploying multiple applications using the standalone OC4J server. I was thinking of using one OC4J instance to deploy J2EE applications, but was recently informed that if any of the applications raise an unhandled exception or has memory leaks, then all applications will fail or slow down. Can I get some documentation or suggestions on how to approach this? Thanks in advance. Dan

Yes, it is possible (and common) to run multiple WLS instances on the same physical hardware.
          It is also possible to run multiple applications within WLS.
          There are trade-offs both ways. WLS does offer some features to better allow isolation within the server. Specifically WLS 6.x and later allow configuring separate thread pools (and sizing them based on application priority). WLS 9.x supports this and a variety of further extensions based on WorkManager. I'd suggest searching for those topics in our docs.

Is it possible to deploy multiple apps(ContextRoots) into a single stack?

Hi,
We want to deploy multiple Application Codes with different Context Roots to a single JavaStack using SDM. The purpose for it is to support our multiple Test environments(AIT, AFT, Prod Regression or etc.) using a single JavaStack environment. AIT will have AIT Context Root, AFT will have AFT Context Root and etc. Is it possible to do so? If so, how can we configure the SDM to support the deployment? We already know how to change the *.xml file for different context root.
Thanks

If the structure of the Excel sheets does not change from file to file then you can by having one ForEach Loop processing always the "Enrolled" sheet and another always the "Engaged" this is doable because the Excel OLEDB connector allows
to pick individual sheets, it is problematic therefore when sheet names themselves change.
MSDN has an example: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-ca/library/ms345182.aspx

Deployment BIB app. to OC4J 9.0.2.0.1

Hello friends,
I have Sun Solaris' version of the Oracle9iAS 9.0.2.0.1 with OC4J and standalone OC4J v. 9.0.2 as well, both running on the same machine.
When deploying sample BIBeans JSP application to Oracle 9iAS with OC4J v.9.0.2.0.1 I received message : Can't connect to X11 window server using ':0.0' as the value of the DISPLAY variable.
The deployment of the same application to the standalone OC4J v. 9.0.2 goes well.
Could someone help me?

Did you use Oracle Enterprise Manager (OEM) to deploy the BIBeans JSP application? If so, OEM has a X11 server dependency on all UNIX platforms. You need to either configure your X11 server appropriately or you can try to deploy the application using dcmctl. There's also a chance that the deployment actually took place despite the eror you're getting. You can try dcmctl listApplications to check for all deployed applications. Hope this helps.
Cheers,

Bc4j.xcfg, database connections and deploying ADF apps to oc4j

I'm trying to understand how to enable custom database connections on a JDeveloper ADF application deployed to a stand-alone instance of OC4J.
All entity objects were created as ADF Business Components.
I looks like the db connection information used by the application is stored in a file named "bc4j.xcfg".
How would I change the database connection information between different environments, changing the server, port and password information from an OC4J instance?
I'd like to use an OC4J defined data-sources.xml file, but am looking for the simplest approach for now.

Tomato tomaato, call it what you will, we now have to spend time (money) figuring out how to change from using the recommended use of a "connection" from Oracle tutorials and in Oracle Press books.
Plus, neither I nor our client can get JDeveloper ADF 10.1.3 to work on OAS 10.1.2.
Oracle has been of little help, other than stating to follow documentation. We followed the documentation at least a dozen times and on three different install of OAS 10.1.2.
Why doesn't JDeveloper have a check-box or button that reconfigures the application to run on 10.1.2 (J2EE 1.3), there is a check-box to change JDK versions (1.4)? This is suspect to me.
We are going to be speaking with the client this week, and have to state the ADF application works, but NOT on OAS 10.1.2.
Does ADF work on OAS 10.1.3, absolutely, but the client is in 10.1.2 and can not upgrade at this time.
I've read in blogs where lots of developers have the same issues without resolution and Oracle should just come out and state that 10.1.3 does not work on 10.1.2.
So my experience has been a mixed bag with ADF, both in terms of the software and customer support from Oracle.

Fail deploying firt app with OC4J

Hi friends i am new with OC4J, I try to deploy my first J2EE application with OC4J 10g as described in oc4j manuel but i get this error :
Error instantiating application 'publipostage' at file:/C:/javatools/oc4j10g/j2ee/home/applications/publipostage.ear: Error initializing ejb-module; Exception null
Can any one help me solving problem? Thanks a lot.

Hello,
Could you give a little more information about your deployment:
- which version of OracleAS are you using? (java -jar oc4j.jar -version in the $ORACLE_HOME/j2ee/home directory)
- do you have a complete stack trace ?
- whichkind of EJB are you deploying?

Hi,
If you are ussing Windows 2000 or nt systems you can use a console ir order to manage aplications.
The command line you must use is :
java -Dorg.omg.CORBA.ORBClass=com.inprise.vbroker.orb.ORB -Dorg.omg.CORBA.ORBSingletonClass=com.inprise.vbroker.orb.ORB -jar oc4j.jar -console
its a service console in beta version4.

Deploying multiple apps on one instance of wls 8.1

We currently have have one huge application (one ear file) running on one instance
of wls 8.1. We plan to break this up in 3 different application (3 different ear
files). We are using split
development directory structure of weblogic 8.1. Out problem is, we have some
ejbs and some war files (like servlets anf jsps) which are common across all the
applications. How do we manage this ? Do we make a different application for this
common component ?
Thanks in advance.
Yogesh

Out of curiousity, why are you splitting up the ear?
How do you intend to package the common ejbs/webapps across the 3 ear files?
If you're going to copy the common files into each application, then i
would probably have a separate build.xml that builds the common pieces.
The other apps can just copy these common pieces into their build
directory. If the common pieces aren't changing very frequently, then
this is pretty nice.

Multiple BC4J apps deployed in single 9iAS OC4J instance

Deploying my BC4J/UIX applications in a single Oracle 9iAS 9.0.2 OC4J instance, causes some of my applications not to find their BC4J configurations. After restarting the OC4J instance some applications start to find the configurations, while some lose the ability arbitrarily. When I deploy each of them in a different OC4J instance, then everything works fine.
The problem appears also at my client's site. My client has all the latest patches applied to the 9iAS server and they can't afford upgrading to 10g or running every application in separate OC4J instance.
The BC4J/UIX applications are developed with JDev 9.0.3.4. and the BC4J and UIX libraries of the application server are updated to the versions of JDev 9.0.3.4. My development Oracle9iAS runs on Windows 2000 and my client has it on Sun Solaris.
The error trace I get from applications that can't find the configuration looks like this:

The Index.html, which is the welcome page, I can see fine. That page redirects to a page called Validation.jsp (but i redirect to Validation.faces ofcourse) and then the error comes in. Could this have anything to do with my shared libraries? I added the jsf 1.2 libraries to the shared libraries and then I got a different error saying I still miss something else, a javax.faces.FacesFactory (don't know the exact name of the missing class).
Could someone please help me on this? I've been trying several stuff now for 3 days and haven't found any solutions on the net so far.
Thank You!

Hi Frank,
I don't use /faces/ I use the .faces extension but I don't think that it matters wich servlet mapping you use, does it?
About the jsf-impl.jar, as soon as I put any libraries in my .war file (in the WEB-INF/lib directory) my application won't even deploy .. I even tried freshly installing a newer version (10.1.3.3.0) oc4j j2ee containers and tried to deploy both with libraries and without them but still got the same errors.
Isn't there some guide to follow for deploying jsf applications to oc4j j2ee containers? One which describes all the steps? Or maybe some people here that have already deployed such an application (even if it's as small as hello world) could describe how they got it working step by step?
Thanks for your help!
Tom.

Is it possible to deploy multiple sharepoint provider hosted apps into one azure website??

Is it possible to deploy multiple sharepoint provider hosted apps into one azure website??
Rohit Pasrija

I am faced with a similar requirement although the hosting environment for the provider hosted apps would be an IIS web server in our own infrastructure.
Would it be advisable to use a common IIS website to host multiple apps? The MVC web application which will provide functionality
for the apps is already in place which is why we are checking for options to use the same web project for multiple apps.
Can the web config file's clientID be shared by multiple apps?

Deploy one Application per OC4J instance or multiple

Hello,
I have the following questions on deploying applications on OC4J:
1. What is the best practice for deploying applications on OC4J?
2. Should I deploy only One application per OC4J Instance or multiple applications per OC4J Instance.
3. If I decide to deploy more then one application on one OC4J Instance, for this OC4J Instance, should I increase default_island property to add the number of processes within an OC4J Instance
Thanks,
Manish

You really should read the 9iAS Performance and Tuning Guide. There is no specific recommendation. It is
highly dependent on your specific applications.
You can deploy more than one application per OC4J instance and if you have a high performance machine you will probably want to run more than one JVM per OC4J
instance. If you are running applications which create sessions and replicate state across JVM's then
you may want to create multiple islands to limit the scope of replication.

How can I deploy multiple fonts with the ProfileManager

I tried to add more than just one Font using the ProfileManager on Mac OS X Server 3.1.1
There appears just one line to add one Font file. Do I need to combine all my fonts into one file to deploy it?
Don't see a way to add more Font Payloads.

I spoke to Apple's Enterprise support today about this problem, and the representative said that he is going to report this "issue" to Engineering. Not sure what this means, but I thought I would let you know.
If you are trying to deploy multiple fonts to iOS devices, they suggested that I use Apple Configurator, which is available for free in the Mac App Store...

11g - is it possible to deploy multiple repositories?

One of our clients was under the impression that deploying multiple RPDs in 11g would be simpler than it was in 10g, where we needed to deploy multiple copies of the BI Presentation Server and point each one to its own repository.
A quick RTFM of all of the 11g docs doesn't reveal any mention of truly deploying multiple RPDs within a single BI Server environment. Yes, of course we can still list additional RPDs in the NQSConfig.ini, but actually making them available to users is another issue entirely.
I know how to do it in 10g: multiple installations of BI Presentation Server. Is there a way to do it in 11g?

Building and deploying J2EE apps ? Now there is a solution for production root cause analysis.

Is your organization building and deploying J2EE apps? If so, Halo
can help solve one of the toughest issues facing enterprises today:
Finding the root cause of software faults.
"Halo monitors, pinpoints, reports on and provides a source-code level
root cause of software faults in deployed J2EE apps. Halo is unique
because it's the only technology that can give you a root cause
diagnosis in a fully deployed, live production application. Halo has
such low performance overhead that customers deploy their final,
production versions of their applications with Halo enabled.
Used with Web Application Servers like WebLogic, Halo helps ensure
that deployed code is reliable and able to be quickly fixed if
problems turn up. Most important, because Halo is an "always on"
technology, you get all the information you need to rapidly solve a
problem on the first fault. Problem replication and bug reports are
obsolete with Halo
"Halo has a unique ability to provide a root cause diagonosis and
understanding
of software problems in production systems, without needing to
replicate the
issue.
Test on WebLogic proved that Halo runs with extremely low overhead and
is suitable for use in deployed production systems"
Andrew Sliwkowski, Software Engineer
BEA Systems, Inc.
The key is Halo's high performance, low overhead TraceBack
instrumentation technology. Based on technology out of MIT and proven
in the field, TraceBack enables you to instrument JARs, EARs and WARs
within minutes, without touching source code.
Halo is useful throughout the entire application life cycle, from
development through test, beta and deployment.

I have two questions. We have just started developing apps using jdev9i, 9iAS v2 and are new to the j2ee environment so my questions may be very easy ones.
Question 1: We have set up Oracle pooling connection to our databases. We have a development, test and production database. When I deploy my application, it includes the connections. This is preventing me from moving the EAR files from dev to test to prod without modification and re deploying to my EAR file. Is there a way or a place that I can put my database connections that will not be included in my EAR files and the application still find them?datasources.xml is where the info regradings connection to databases is licated. If you're using 9iAS
you can use EM to create datasource entry at the global level. In OC4J standalone you could use admin.jar
or edit the file. Check out the standalone user's guide at http://otn.oracle.com/tech/java/oc4j/pdf/oc4j_so_usersguide_r2.pdf.
Also, you will othe OC4J docs on OTN.
Question 2: I have a stand alone oc4j set up for our developers to use while testing their applications. The applications include libraries supplied in jdev such as xml parser v2. I do not want to deploy those lib files with the app because I will have to redeploy all my apps if I upgrade jdev. I just want to be able to upgrade the libraries, test the apps and not have to redeploy everything. I can do this by coping the jdev lib to 9iAS but I can't seem to find the right place to put the lib for the stand alone oc4j instance. You can use the library tag within application.xml for server wide availability. Check out the article
http://otn.oracle.com/oramag/oracle/02-sep/o52oc4j_2.html specifically class loading in OC4J section
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

BSPs configuration with multiple apps servers

Hi Masters,
This is regrarding configure ICM and BSPs on our production box with multiple application servers.
We have our production box in a cluster environment.
The central instance is dbciSAP and apps servers are sapaps2 thru sapaps6. The database is on shared disks. Whenever the central instance fails sapaps2 takes the control and become as dbciSAP but the main dbciSAP never become a application server when ever sapaps2 acts as dbciSAP. Since we have configured load balancing concept in production environment the users can login to system thru any application server. This is waht our environment.
As part of our production box to SAP 4.7 upgrade from 4.6C, we are asked to configure the environment to deploy BSPs. We have successfully configured and deployed the BSPs in our DEV and QAS system (Both are central instances with no application servers) except production box which is due in the next month.
The process we follow to activate BSPs is as follows:
1.Define an ICM service port in /etc/services file.
2.Add the ICM related parameters in instance profiles.
3.Make sure the ICM status is active in SMICM tx.
4.Activate the BSP services in SICF as per OSS note 571484.
Now, the question is how to configure the same ICM service and activate the BSPs since we have multiple multiple application servers.
Subsequently What I am enquirying is:
Do I need to define ICM service ports on each and every hosts where the application servers are running?
Do I need to make changes to each and every instance profile of the application server?
What are the differences in configuring ICM services on central instance and application instances?
Appreciate any help in this regard.
Thanks and Regards
Murty Patchipala

Grasshopper,
I think what you should really read up on is the SAP WebDispatcher. If are serious about running BSP/ICM across multiple app servers, this is the key technology:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/42/5cfd3b0e59774ee10000000a114084/frameset.htm This may also answer some of your questions about profile parameters.
Other than that I can share what we did. We did activate the ICM and services on all app servers and central instance. The service ports of the individual servers aren't that important now because of the WebDispatcher (at least they aren't visible to the user).
Yes we did make some of the ICM profile changes in each instance profile. If your settings are the same, consider using the default profile. Are their particular settings you are interested? I will look over ours, but I don't remember any huge differences from APP server to Central Instance.
