Deployment using AIA Install Driver - Composite jar creation

Hi All,
I am trying to deploy all my composite using AIA Install driver.
But i want my script to divided between build and deploy.
Hence i would like to know at what step are the composite jar files created?
Appreciate your help on this.
Thanks & Regards,
Amit

Amit,
in general, the AIA Install Driver does not support this split up into build and deployment. It is certainly technically feasible by tweaking the underlying ant / wlst scripts, but I also don't see why this would be useful. The 'deployment' action of AID consists of even more than build and deploy, namely adjusting the composite to match an environment, i.e. adjust references, URLs, etc. to match the current environment, e.g. when you take your code from dev to test.
So rather than giving jars (containing "wrong" references) to somebody being in charge to deploy it somewhere else, our recommendation is to package up the code of the composites with the deployment plan. With that package, somebody else can just lay this down on any other server and execute the bundled deployment plan. As said above, that will take care of adjusting this code to this particular environment. On the other hand, if you would pass jars, you would have to know in advance(!) the target environment to be able to adjust accordingly and compile it into the jar. This is not practical and AID just offers a much more convenient way.

AIA install error ant deploy sca_AIAErrorTaskAdministrationProcess_rev1.0

Hi,
I am installing AIA and at the time of deployment of composites and applications it's failing. Below is the error I am getting. "AIAHomeApp" and "AIAApplication" got installed
but the remaining composites and applications it's not. It's exiting on failure when deploying the sca_AIAErrorTaskAdministrationProcess_rev1.0.jar. Don't know why it's giving deployment error
during composite deployments as AIAHomeApp and AIAApplication got installed fine. Any help is appreciated.
Am using SOA 11.1.1.5. Have a 2 node cluster environment with OHS for software load-balancing. OHS is frontend with NetScalar Load Balancer.
All my servers are up and running and get to them fine but somehow the script is complaining. Any help is really appreciated as I am stuck and have no clue what might be broken.

Hi,
Yes Https works fine for all the URL's and that's how we access it currently
OHS is running as xxsoau and the owner of */tmp/_wl_proxy* is xxsoad. So wondering if I rename that directory and create the same directory as xxsoau the user that runs OHS will it solve the issue. As it looks like even setting chmod 777 permissions on the directory am getting the same errors.
Or is there a way to set a custom directory rather than pointing to /tmp/_wl_proxy. I read about setting WLTempDir in http.conf file. But I have a custom cluster.conf file that is included at the end of httpd.conf. My custom cluster.conf file is below so wondering if have to set WLTempDir where in the below text I need to add that to fix the above error so can deploy the AIA composites. This is blog where it talks about this but need more info on where to set this variable in my case as I have a custom conf file.

2012R2 Deployment with WDS yields Driver could not be installed error

Hi
I'm using WDS installed on a 2008R2 SP1 server. My boot image is from Windows 2012. When I deploy a Windows 2012
R2 image I recive an error dialog during setup that states "Windows installation cannot continue because a required driver could not be installed." In checking the setupact.log file it appears as though setup can't find pkgmgr.exe.
If I use the boot image from 2012 R2 then it works fine. I want to continue using my existing boot image from 2012. Any thoughts on why this is failing?

Hi,
The WinPE version is 4.0 in using boot image on Windows Server 2012, which does not support deploy Windows 8.1/2012 R2.
You should use WinPE 5.0 (from Windows Server 2012 R2) as you just tested.
If you have any feedback on our support, please send to [email protected]

How do I install the "ojdbc14.jar" driver?

Hi...
I want to start with JDBC APIs. I have downloaded the Oracle driver "ojdbc14.jar". I don't know where to keep this driver and what all settings need to be done.
Can any one help?
Thanks...

Are you by any chance new to Java?
If not, then where you put the jar depends on the type of application you are building.
For example, I build a lot of web applications which are deployed as WAR files to an app server. In this case, I usually put the ojdbc.jar in the WEB-INF/lib. You can also put the jar in common/lib of the app server so that all apps have access to it.
Use of the system environment variable CLASSPATH is not used so much anymore with recent JDKs.
If you are new to Java then I recommend choosing a decent IDE (Eclipse/NetBeans/JDeveloper are the main free ones) and going through the Java tutorial. It has a section on using JDBC.
Hope that helps,
Rakesh

Automated Deployment Using admin_client.jar gives 500 error

Greetings,

Upon editing this file and adding back the login module data and restarting oc4j, we can login to our application. The framework of the site is present along with graphics, yet every page visited yields a 500 error (jspx +and+ HTML). Since the entire deployment is done from ant, we do not have the capability of specifying a the web-app as development configuration. We need advice on how best to debug the deployed application as well as knowledge regarding the mechanism which causes the system-jazn-data.xml file in the oc4j/j2ee/home/config folder to be modified.

Found that jar files were missing from autobuild. This continues to be an issue where libraries are added to WEB-INF\lib in JDeveloper and the individual jar files are needed for an automated build process.

MacBook Air does not have an optical drive. There is a program I wish to install on my Air which is an astronomy application called Megastar V. Installation requires the use of a CD. Is there a way to use the optical drive on my PC (toshiba laptop using Windows 7) to install this program onto my Air?
With gratitude,

Thank you for explaining to me how to do this. I will try it tomorrow and let all of you know how it goes.

Is it possible to automate Adobe Reader to load files, then set the staple property and location, then print them out? I've seen in .NET 3.0 that there is a Enumeration for Stapling in the System.Printing Namespace. I need to figure out how to automate the printing in adobe but right before it prints, have .NET assign the printer and whether it should be stapled or not.

How can I install Snow Leopard on my 15" MacBook Pro without using its DVD drive?

How can I install Snow Leopard on my 15" MacBook Pro without using its DVD drive?

I'm assuming your dvd drive is broken? if you have a thumb drive large enough (8GB or better), you can use another computer to make a bootable image from the install dvd to the thumb drive. then you can install from the the thumb drive.

According to the Jar Guide (http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/jar/jarGuide.html)
Executable Jar Files
On Microsoft Windows systems, the Java 2 Runtime Environment's installation program will register a default association for Jar files so that double-clicking a Jar file on the desktop will automatically run it with javaw -jar. Dependent extensions bundled with the application will also be loaded automatically. This feature makes the end-user runtime environment easier to use on Microsoft Windows systems.
The Solaris 2.6 kernel has already been extended to recognize the special "magic" number that identifies a Jar file, and to invoke java -jar on such a Jar file as if it were a native Solaris executable. A application packaged in a Jar file can thus be executed directly from the command line or by clicking an icon on the CDE desktop.
Despite that every JAR file can be executed as a program if and only if the META-INF/Manifest.mf contains the Main-Class tag. This done through java -jar jarfile.jar

Assuming it's not a Gray Machine specific Install Disc, it should work.

I think my hard drive crashed. How can I get data off via firewire before the HD completely goes? I was stuck on the BSoD and now I can't even use the install disk. Utility Disk said HD was okay. Please HELP ME

Safe mode did nothing.
Safe mode with verbose seemed to make it worse.
Before continuously trying new things, I could use the install disk to check the disk utility and clear
the hard drive from there but now the screen won't even load to that.
I really need the data on the hard drive especially if it can't be salvaged.
How can i transfer files?
Am I better off physically taking my HD out or will it damage itself without
leaving the system.
I tried command r
resetting the pram
safe mode
jumping out a window
nothing has helped.
I am stuck on the blue screen of death and it flickers.

No. In order to use FireWire Target Disk Mode you need to use a FireWire equipped Mac. Other than that the only other way I can think of to even attempt to access you files would be to remove your hard drive and install it in a case and connect it to another computer.

I have two hard drives on my mac 10.5.8 power pc and hear the clickking sounds of the first hard drive and think that it may be dying, can I install everything on the other hard drive also and wait for the first drvie to die before i use the other drives

I have two hard drives on my mac 10.5.8 power pc and hear the clickking sounds of the first hard drive and think that it may be dying, can I install everything on the other hard drive also and wait for the first drive to die before i use the other drives? Or, what is the best way to handle this?

I do not know what you are waiting for.
I'd make a backup of your important stuff before cloning the entire disk.
Carbon Copy Cloner will copy your startup drive to an external firewire drive. You can boot from the external drive to verify that you have a good clone. When you upgrade your existing startup drive, you can at any time boot from your external drive and go back to your existing system.

SuperDuper is the wildly acclaimed program that makes recovery painless, because it makes creating a fully bootable backup painless. Its incredibly clear, friendly interface is understandable, easy to use, and SuperDuper's built-in scheduler makes it trivial to back up automatically. And it runs beautifully on both Intel and Power PC Macs!

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
If you have a Late 2012 iMac (without a built-in SuperDrive), you can use a USB drive to install Windows with Boot Camp and you shouldn't have any problem

How do I install Canoscan film scanner on macbook using external disc drive?

How do I install a CanoScan film scanner using external disc drive ?

sorry, not being very clear. I have the scanner and am trying to instal the operating programme onto my new macbook. It was fine on my 6 year old one! I put the setup disc in the external drive. I can now get it to load 80% but it then stops. I have then tried to eject the disc - it won't let me as it says it is still setting up - but after 2 hours still says the same and clearly is doing nothing. I can't quit the setup programme - the only way I finally managed to quit was to to force quit the computer to shutdown and then when I start up again I can eject the disc.
Any idea how I make it load the 20% of the setup that it is currently refusing to do?

Is it possible to digitally sign a jar file that will be used to install CF in WebSphere?

I am currently working for a contractor for the DoD. We are maintaining a project that uses CF installed as an application through WebSphere. We are currently going through a security checklist and being asked to provide evidence that the CF application has a digital signature. From what we can gather they are looking to see that the jar file installed into WebSphere is digitally signed. We have reached out to IBM, and have received a response that digital signatures are recognized by WebSphere.
Unfortunately, it seems that those that are looking for the evidence do not know much more than what the checklist requirement states. They cannot provide more details or expand on what they need. Any assistance or advice in this matter would be appreciated.
Thanks,

So as I understand this, it means the end-user has no way to know it was me that truly signed it. But relies on their common sense I suppose.
That is correct. The CA has verified, and is certifying, that you are who you claim to be. If you or I use a 'self signed' certificate, it does not carry the same level of trust. As you might understand already, the dialogs are different between the two certificate types, and some users cannot accept trusted code from an unverified (self-signed) certificate.
I have been meaning to write a page on the differences between the two certificates. It is well worth looking into getting a cert. from a CA.
There was a stage when one of the major CAs were offering 'freemail' certificates that came emblazoned not with your name, but 'free mail' itself. I did not like them because of that, and continue to use a self-signed certificate.
