Deployment question

Hi,
We have a customer (IT admin) who would like to deploy our app on about 20 machines via web start. He then wants to turn off online updating for an indefinite period. Then, once he decides that he wants the most current version on all his machines, he wants to be able to flip a switch and have the apps automatically update on all machines. Then he wants to turn off automatic updating again, and so on. It would be great if he could do so via the jnlp file (or some similar universal mechanism), rather than having to go around to each machine and manually change the web start preferences, update, and then change the preferences back.
Is there an easy way to do this? Sorry if this has been covered, but I couldn't seem to find it anywhere. I know about the online attribute of the shortcut. It seems though that once the attribute is set in the shortcut, it can't be then toggled on or off. We'd like to be able to control updating via the jnlp file (or some other similar mechanism).
Thanks for any thoughts,
Peter

By default the current versions of JavaWebStart on startup checks the server from which it download the application. If its changed it will automatically update the application. There are ways "offline" mode that can delay this. From what I have heard on the forums in 1.6 there will be more user control over when an update is done.

11.1.2 Deployment question!

We are using ADF 11.1.1.4 with Webcenter and SOA components but not extensively. We would like to upgrade to 11.1.2 and got little confused after reading note given below.
"Important Note - This version of JDeveloper doesn't include the SOA and WebCenter pieces - to use these components you'll need to download Oracle JDeveloper 11.1.1.5.0"
My question is can the code developed using 11.1.2 Jdeveloper be deployed on 11.1.1.4 WLS? If that's the case we are thinking to develop SOA and Webcenter application using 11.1.1.4 and ADF using 11.1.2 and both deployed on 1.1.1.4 WLS!!!!
Is there any other option for installation like this!!!

code developed in 11.1.2 will be deployed 10 10.3.5 with sherman patch and adf runtime..
chk this

you cannot deploy code developer in 11.1.2 to 11.1.1.4 wls.. not possible..

[JS][CS3] Script deployment question

Hi everyone,
I am currently writing scripts in a corporate environment (~30 users), and I'm contemplating the easiest and most efficient way of deploying the scripts. We have a couple of scripts already with the users that are located locally on their machines. As time goes on we'll be writing more and more scripts and updating the existing ones as necessary.
My current inclination is to stop saving the files locally on the individual machines and instead put a shortcut to a shared server folder in the scripts folder instead. In my testing it seems to work fine without any significant delay, and it automatically populates all of the files in linked folder. I basically want to be able to make sure that users are always launching the most up-to-date code and that any future scripts can be easily deployed without me walking around to everyone's desk (or worse, e-mailing instructions and hoping for the best).
Are there any downsides/performance issues to this approach? It's a strictly desktop environment, so I don't have to worry about laptop users who are not connected to the network. Is there an alternate way that would be smoother?
Thanks!

We've tried it both ways. On our 12 InCopy machines (OSX), we have a symbolic link from /Applications/Adobe InCopy CS5/Scripts/Scripts Panel/ to a shared folder. This works great as long as our file server doesn't go down, and all sorts of other things would break horribly. And the User scripts folder is still available for any machine-specific customizations.
For our 4 InDesign machines, we decided that was a little too much risk. So instead we have a script, copyScripts.jsx, that just copies scripts from the file server to the Application scripts folder. So everytime there is a change, we go around to those 4 machines and run copyScripts. This works OK.
It's a little bit of a pain but it also insulates us a bit from bugs, and it means that whoever is using InDesign can decide to not update the scripts if they are in the middle of something critical. They can choose to defer taking the script updates.
I think if we had to do it over, we probably wouldn't bother with the copyScripts mechanism. The centralized shared folder works pretty well. But it's not so annoying that we've gotten rid of it. And for 4 machines, it's not a huge burden.
Also, there are some questions of development. If it's convenient to do development in the ESTK, having the shared folder means you cannot just rightclick in the Scripts panel and choose Edit Script. Or if you do, then any changes you save as you are developing the script are instantly available to everyone, potentially breaking their work if there are problems, or if there is debugging output ,etc., etc. So you need to make sure you do a development in a different place. Just something to keep in mind.

Split Directory Packaging and Deployment Question

Hello Rob Woollen and All,
I have a question about packaging and deployment with the "split directory structure"
in WebLogic Server 8.1.
Specifically, how does one go about deciding which classes to put in myEnterpriseApp/myWebApp/WEB-INF/classes,
versus myEnterpriseApp/myEjbModule, versus myEnterpriseApp/APP-INF/classes?
I think the answer to the first part is easy enough: if there are classes depended
on by, say, the servlets in a web app, but not depended on anywhere else in the
enterprise app, then those classes should go in WEB-INF/classes.
It's the other part of the question that gives me trouble. I use local interfaces
on my session beans. Let's say I have a domain object class returned from a session
bean method and depended on by the web app. If I put that domain object class
under myEnterpriseApp/myEjbModule, then the web app can see it by virtue of the
classloader arrangement.
But the wlcompile Ant target supposedly compiles stuff to build/APP-INF/classes.
What stuff? How does it decide? I haven't experimented and empirically observed
yet, but I couldn't find the answer in the documentation and tutorials. Is it
looking for java source files under src/myEnterpriseApp but not under myWebApp
or myEjbModule? In general, does BEA have any recommendations in this area?
Thanks,
Randy

Hi Mark,
Thanks for the reply. I don't have 8.1 installed yet, so I can'tempirically
observe the example's behavior. But I downloaded the example andinspected the
code. It answers some, but not all, of my questions.Where to start.
In 8.1 we have made optimizations to J2EE packaging. Mostly this is about
not having to use manifest classpath's to do sharing of of common classes.
MF Cp's are a pain to configure. You put your classes in one location in
the ear and then EVERY module has to have a MF CP entry pointing to that
location, and then you actually have N number of classes loaded per module.
The mechanism to share classes across all modules is APP-INF/lib and
APP-INF/classes. The benefit is that APP-INF is shared across all modules.
So to your question below you could just put it in the EJB module, BUT if
you have mutliple EJBs that you split into seperate modules your back tot
the same issue. So APP-INF is just the simplist solution over-all.
Split-dir is a specified way to lay out disk your src files
Split-dir
From code inspection, it looks like the JSP and EJB (therefore the web appmodule
and EJB module) both depend on the AppUtils class, which is not inAPP-INF, but
rather in a directory under the enterprise app directory that does notrepresent
a web app module or EJB module. In the build file's compile target, is itthe
wlcompile task invocation that causes compilation of AppUtils.java? Or isit
the ant task invocation (with "build.appStartup" as the value of thetarget attribute)
that causes compilation of AppUtils.java due to the dependency ofApplicationStartup
on AppUtils? And what subdirectory of the build directory doesAppUtils.class
end up in?
Why not just put AppUtils.java in the EJB module? Both dependent moduleswould
still be able to see it by virtue of the classloader arrangement. Doesputting
it in outside of all dependent modules represent a convention that BEArecommends?
>
Finally, why not put applicationresource.properties in the same place asits user
AppUtils.java?
Thanks,
Randy

factory then it is compiled by that specific module compiler. The rules
for
module definition follow the same J2EE formatting rules.
So:
/myejb/
would be identified as a ebj module by:
*/myejb/meta-inf/ejb-jar.xml
*/myejb/myejb.ejb (EJBGen file)
then src files (*.java) will be compiled to
$BUILD_DIR/myejb/
/myweb/
would be identifid as a web module by:
*/myweb/WEB-INF/web.xml
Also for webapps
/myweb/WEB-INF/src/*.java
will be compiled ot
$BUILD_DIR/myweb/WEB-INF/classes
We choose WEB-INF/src following the struts precedence.
So a plain old module that has noting but .java files in it will go to
$BUILD_DIR/APP-INF/classes
If you have a jar of classes that you need to share across the entire
ear,
you would check it into your src tree at:
$SRC_DIR/APP-INF/lib/mycommon.jar
You can check out an example at:
$BEA_HOME/weblogic81/samples/server/examples/src/examples/splitdir/helloWorl

WLC 5508 and LightWeight APs Deployment question

Hi There,
Can you please wit the following question in regards to the deployment of a new WLC and new LAPs,
I have configured and connected a 5508 WLC and 3500 series LAP.
LAG is enabled in the WLC and successfully connected to the neighboring switch (using etherchannel) and to the network.
The port-channel port is set to trunk mode obviously and certain vlan ids are currently allowed (3-5)
The management interface has this IP address 192.168.5.250/24
I created a WLAN with WLAN ID 3, Interface set to Management and say SSID test1
I have connected a new LAP to the network, which switchport interface is set to access mode and assigned with vlan id 3. The LAP is able to join the WLC successfully with an IP address, such as, 192.168.3.100 (assigned via DHCP).
When I try connecting a mobile client to the wireless LAN, it can successfully detect and connect to the WLAN, created in the WLC (test1) however it gets an IP address by DHCP, in the 192.168.5.0/24 network, which is the IP range of the management interface's IP address.
What can I do to get the clients connecting on network 192.168.3.0/24? I thought this would be the case since I allocated the WLAN Id of 3 in the WLAN test1 configuration and since the LAP switchport is set to access mode with vlan ID 3.
Cheers,
egua5261

Hi,
The WLAN ID has no effect with the VLAN ID. WLAN ID is just an identifier for the WLAN.
you said "Interface set to Management and say SSID test1" and here is your issue.
You set the interface of the WLAN to the management. So, the WLAN will be mapped to the VLAN to which the management interface is mapped to.
What you need to do is to create a dynamic interface with ip range in 192.168.3.0/24 and provide VLAN ID for that interface and assign your WLAN to this new interface. This way your clients will get an IP from this specified range.

10.7 client .dmg creation for deployment questions.

Please forgive me if this question is in the wrong forum.
I've been doing searches online and in the 10.7 Peachpit books (client and server) and I can't seem to find the info I am looking for.
I am trying to create a 10.7 .dmg to use on new Macs my company is going to deploy. We are not using 10.7 Server at the moment, we
are using 10.6.8 Server. This will not be an image we are going to deploy over the network either. I know this may not be "best practices"
but at the moment, this is the way we are going to (re)image new Macs.
Basically, I want to create a 10.7 .dmg that does NOT contain the recovery partition. I can't seem to find a way to do this. If I am correct,
even a "clean" install, when booted from a USB 10.7 recovery drive, will create the recovery partition, right?
I am running 10.7 client and i have the 10.7.3 Server Admin tools.
I apologize in advance if I am missing something glaringly obvious.
Also, any tips on best practices for creating 10.7 client .dmgs for deployment that's any different than creating 10.6 images?
thanks in advance.

Using information from this site and my own scripting experience I present to you a more secure way to do it which supports munki and other deployment tools without having the password to the ODM or client in clear text on the client or on packages easeliy accessable on a http server:
On server:
ssh-keygen
Save the output of ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub to your clip board
Then create a launchd or something so that this runs at startup
nc -kl 1337 | xargs -n 1 -I host ssh -q -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no root@host /usr/local/bin/setupLDAP diradminpassword localadminpassword > /dev/null 2>&1
On client:
Create script (to use in a package as postinstall or something):
#!/bin/bash
# Turns on ssh
systemsetup -f -setremotelogin On
# Sets up passwordless login to root account from server
echo "ssh-rsa FROM_YOUR_CLIPBOARD_A_VERYLONGOUTPUTOFCHARACTERS [email protected]" >> /var/root/.ssh/authorized_keys
# installs setupLDAP
mkdir -p /usr/local/bin
cat > /usr/local/bin/setupLDAP <<'EOF'
#!/bin/sh
PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin
export PATH
computerid=`scutil --get ComputerName`; yes | dsconfigldap -vfs -a 'server.domain.no' -n 'server' -c $computerid -u 'diradmin' -p $1 -l 'l' -q $2
EOF
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/setupLDAP
End note
That was the code, now you just add the skeleton And to clearify what this does, first we let the server connect to the client as root even though root access is "disabled" (he has no password and therefore you can't log in as root as default). Then we create a small script to setup OD binding (/usr/local/bin/setupLDAP) but this script doesn't contain the passwords. Then the client send a request to the small socket server on the server with it's hostname, then the server connects to that hostname and executes /usr/local/bin/setupLDAP with the needed passwords.

JSC deployment question.

I have a situation where after my JSC created application is deployed, I need to have the ability to access PDF files that I give the user of my application the ability to select in a listbox.
At development time, the names and locations of these PDF files (which will be stored locally on the Sun App Server) are not known, so I cannot have JSC bundle them up with the WAR. What I do instead is have my JSC app read from a database and populate a listbox with the names of the PDF files and map those to the local URL (as soon as I figure out what that will be).
My question is this, once I deply the app, where (what directory) do I place the PDF files under assuming that I am using the bundled Sun Application Server that comes with JSC?
Thanks!

Actually, it might be better to read the PDF file directly from the database instead of placing it in the path somewhere and redirecting to it (more security if ever needed...no static files to browse to).
Let me dig around for an exmple of doing this sort of thing and I'll try to apply it to a JSC project context and post my findings here.
If anyone has done this before please let me know!
Thanks.

Deployment Question and non-compliant

Hi, I have a question about deployments and non-compliant systems. Since we updated to 2012 R2 I have had many patching deployments fail with non-compliant messages. If I bring up the deployment it shows many are installed and many are Required.
Could anyone answer the following question?
If for example I am deploying a IE 11 patch to Windows 7 machines that does not have IE 11 installed yet would that give the non-compliant error because it cannot install the IE11 patch? This would also apply to .Net 4 and 4.5 for example. We deploy Software
Update Groups based on Operating Systems so every month I search for every patch non-expired and not superseded for the OS in question and then make the software update group based on that. I figured if the software update group had a patch for a product like
IE 11 that was not installed on the device yet it just would not install it.
Any help is appreciated.

Hi,
If the update isn't applicable let's say that IE11 is not installed it will not report it as non-compliant and it will not report it as required either so you should be fine in the reports.

Jörgen

so in the case where there are only managed servers and iam selecting no_stage=true;
would the deplyoment succeds ?
When you deploy an application, you are contacting the admin server
regardless of stage/nostage etc. So the admin server has to be up to do
a deployment.
However, the admin server does not have to be running on the same
machine as the managed servers.

what is the co-relation between these two places ?The initial deployment of an application takes you through an assistant
in the console that tries to use more descriptive terms than
stage/nostage etc. However, if you look at the MBeans directly or use
the command-line weblogic.Deployer than stage etc is what you'll see.
It may show up elsewhere in the console as well.

nostage says the application path is valid on all servers. This makes
sense if you have a networked or shared filesystem. Or, if all of
your
machines are identical, and you want to do the distribution yourself.
stage asks WLS to distribute the files from the admin server to the
managed servers.
external_stage is a variant of stage that's rarely used. basicallythe
admin server copies the files to the managed server, but the path on
each managed server might be different. I believe it's just relative
to
the server's staging directory.

Resizing User Profile Disks in Existing Server 2012 R2 RDS Deployment Question

Once the initial maximum size is set and the VHDXs have been created in a Server 2012 R2 RDS deployment, will attempting to increase Collection's maximum UPD size by say.. issuing a Powershell command of:
Set-RDSessionCollectionConfiguration -CollectionName MySpiffyNewCollection -MaxUserProfileDiskSizeGB 10
over-write the existing VHDXs instead of simply increasing their size? (max size is currently 5GB)
I'm not at a point where I can test this in a lab condition to find out, and I have not found this question asked (or at least not definitively answered) in this forum yet.
-G

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
We can resize the UPD file with below command:
Resize-VHD –Path c:\BaseVHDX.vhdx –SizeBytes 1TB
After running this mount the .vhdx file and open disk manager and there will be unallocated disk, and then you can click extend disk/volume and its done.
You can refer following article for more information.

Hope it helps!

Authorization, deployment question

Hi all,
does somebody know whether it is possible to create a VC component that can be later used from users without authentification, just as normal web page.
And another question is how can I choose a custom link to call a deployed VC application (as webdynpro), and not use the one, generated automatically, because it is too complex (exampe: change the link http://host:port/webdynpro/dispatcher/sap.com/test~newdc_impl/OrderForm
to something simpler)?
Thanks in advance,
best regards,
Vera Stoyanova

Hi,
thanks for the answer. But what I wanted was to be able to create the custom link in CE7.1 directly. Is this possible.
Or at least is it possible to have the part of the name I have given in VC for the development component, not with this test~ prefix (the example link is in my first post)? It is always automatically generated so.
Best Regards,
Vera

Compilation/deployment question - C++

Hi There,
I am about to install a new server which will run my custom software - the server is on its way. It is a dual Xeon (not dual core, two single core, x64 Irwindale processors) based hardware for my home hobby project.
I worked for about four and a half year developing for Solaris - always using corporate provided SPARC systems. Since I was very satisfied with the O/S and the dev. environment, I decided to use that for my home project as well.
So the question finally is, if I install my hardware in a hosting center and would like to develop/build for the mentioned box, what build machine will I have to have? I would like to create a binary on the other box and then just copy for deployment. Do I need to build one more dual Xeon box or can I use a desktop PC for that? I understand that using Java would be probably easier in this particular case but I am a C++ developer for quite some years and probably it would take more time to llearn how to write decent java software than resolving this issue. Probably...
Thanks :)

Sun Studio doesn't have cross-compilation, but if your desktop PC and the server have identical configuration (same OS, same patch levels) or server has later versions of OS/patches, you should be able to compile on PC and then copy binaries to the server.

Service Unit Deployment Question

When a Service Unit is first deployed to component A the life cycle calls to the service unit manager are:
deploy
init
start
My question is when component A is re-installed what are the life cycle calls to re-install the service unit? In other words is the service unit re-deployed with the new instance of component A by:
deploy
init
start
Or is it already considered deployed and just shutdown and re-started once the new version of this component is brought up (by init and start)?

Currently, before you can uninstall a component, all service units deployed to that component must be undeployed. This can be achieved only by undeploying all Service Assemblies which have service units deployed to that component.
Subsequently, after you install the new component, you must re-deploy those Service Assemblies.
There are already plans underway to provide for "upgrading" a component, which would eliminate the need to undeploy and re-deploy the Service Assemblies.

Web services deployment question

My employer has a deployment environment typically requiring an application
to be deployed in a multi-tier architecture (i.e. JSP/Servlets in one
cluster, EJBs in a second cluster). They do however have this one
application that requires a combined tier architecture and it is currently
deployed this way. This application will shortly have a small web services
layer added to it to support another application that needs information from
this application.
The IT staff that manage this environment wants to now create two clusters
for this application on the same hardware, cluster A would contain the
original application and be responsible for presentation and cluster two
would contain the second app plus the web services layer and be responsible
solely for handling web services. Their reasoning for doing so is that the
web services are not considered presentation and thus this should be
logically seperated. This seems strange to me, now your maintaining two
clusters with identical code bases, doing identical work with the only
difference being the entry point. There is no scalability advantage to two
clusters that I can see, just a lot of extra work to create a logical
seperation that isn't even real.
Before I go back to them I just want to be sure I'm not missing some obvious
reason why this would be a good idea.
Thanks,
George

You can change this behavior by passing notestconsole to the
startweblogic.cmd or by setting the testConsoleFlag variable to false in
the startweblogic.cmd script. Also testconsole is turned off by default for
all EAR files.

ADF BC and ADF Faces deployment question

Hi all,
In my previous web project, the middle layer was packaged into a .ear file and deployed onto a sever that had jboss running. My client layer was deployed on a seperate server running tomcat. My question is how do I accomplish this seperation with BC and ADF Faces in terms of deployment?
Thanks.

Let me be a bit more specific.
Here is the tree view of my application workspace:
-My Application
  -Model

Can I deploy only the model or middle layer on server A running oc4j and deploy the view layer on server B also running oc4j?
Thanks.

Wireless Deployment question

Good Morning,
I am in need of some help. We are looking to deploy wireless to one of our retail locations. The site is currently under remodel so the time is now to put in a better solution.
We currently have Cisco Small Business AP541n deployed and we lose connectivity on our iDevices when they go into the kitchen area. The kitchen area is surrounded by refrigerators and we have stainless steel between the serving area and the kitchen. We ASLO have a Planar video wall (Cat 6 shielded is powering the video panels). Well this stuff seems to be causing interference but i dont have any numbers around that.
I dont have any tools to perform a WLAN survey prior to redeploying wireless. Well my question is:
The area is rougly 800 - 900 square feet and i was thinking of installing two 3602 clean air AP's to combat what i can only assume is heavy interference and noise. Would it cause issues with 2 AP's that close together?
Is this a recommended deployment or should I have a single AP with clean air trying to work best in that environment. Oh the environment is in a major (like the largest) metropolitan area in the world.

If your going to go with 3 you might want to look at going with four. Only reason being if your using RRM the TPC Alogrithm uses the 3rd highest neighbor to set levels. So a total of 4 AP's needed. Odd justification to put up yet another AP but figured I'd throw it out there for you to think about.
Transmit Power Control Algorithm
The TPC algorithm, run at a fixed ten minute interval by default, is used by the RF Group Leader to determine the APs’ RF proximities and adjust each band’s transmit power level lower to limit excessive cell overlap and co-channel interference.
Note: The TPC algorithm is only responsible for turning power levels down. The increase of transmission power is a part of the Coverage Hole Detection and Correction algorithm’s function, which is explained in the subsequent section.
Each AP reports an RSSI-ordered list of all neighboring APs and, provided an AP has three or more neighboring APs (for TPC to work, you must have a minimum of 4 APs), the RF Group Leader will apply the TPC algorithm on a per-band, per-AP basis to adjust AP power transmit levels downward such that the third loudest neighbor AP will then be heard at a signal level of -70dBm (default value or what the configured value is) or lower and the TCP hysteresis condition is satisfied. Therefore, the TCP goes through these stages which decide if a transmit power change is necessary:
Determine if there is a third neighbor, and if that third neighbor is above the transmit power control threshold.
Determine the transmit power using this equation: Tx_Max for given AP + (Tx power control thresh – RSSI of 3rd highest neighbor above the threshold).
Compare the calculation from step two with the current Tx power level and verify if it exceeds the TPC hysteresis.
If Tx power needs to be turned down: TPC hysteresis of at least 6dBm must be met. OR
If Tx power needs to be increased: TPC hysteresis of 3dBm must be met.
An example of the logic used in the TPC algorithm can be found in the Transmit Power Control Algorithm Workflow Examplesection.
