Directory Structure for large installation - help!

Hi,
we are looking to install a cluster of weblogic servers, based on a SAN network.
We are looking for advice on what the best practise is for the installation within
directories /opt/bea/...etc for the various components: product, configuration,
application, jar, ear, etc.
Can anyone provide some good pointers of what they have used?
thanks
S

Hi.
I'm not familiar with SAN networks. WLS 6.x is not very flexible as far as allowing
you to select directories for components. Unless someone else can offer help on this
newsgroup I suggest you ask your sales rep to put you in touch with BEA's professional
services. Someone from PS can work with you directly and offer recommendations
specific to your applications needs.
Regards,
Michael

  • Stage area directory structure for new installation of 11.5.10.2

    Hi, this goes on from the last thread I posted. I have this issue with creating the stage area structure.
    Of importance is the fact that I am not mounting individual DVDs, but that I have already copied each DVD into its own sub directory of a directory I have named Ora11.5.10.2. There are 8 DVDs in the bundle.
    This is the structure I have right now:
    Directory: Ora11.5.10.2
    Sub Directories (names directoy from DVDs):
    APPL_TOP_Disk1
    APPL_TOP_Disk2
    Databases_Disk1
    Databases_Disk2
    Databases_Disk3
    RDBMS_Disk1
    Start_Here
    TOOLS_Disk1
    According to the documentation, http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25516_14/current/acrobat/r115102ins.pdf, the stage area created by the adautostg.pl should be in place before we run Rapid Install.
    My question is how to match what I have at the moment with the structure as explained on Page 1-12 in the above doc.
    Looking at the diagram:
    Directory is Stage11i
    Sub directories are :
    StartCD (easy)
    oraApps
    oraDB
    oraAS
    oraAppDB
    oraNLS (not needed by us)
    So, with the available DVDs I have copied into my own sub-directories, how do they match up with the above recomended sub directories? In short, which DVDs do I copy into which sub directory?
    Im at a loss really. Our Senior DBA is engaged in something very mission critical elsewhere which is why I am asking any pros out there for some tips.
    Thanks a lot in advance, I really appreciate your help.

    All you need for adautostg.pl is the top directory like /Ora11.5.10.2. If you have access to a DVD drive on an AIX machine, just run adautostg.pl. I installed ActivePerl on a Windows box and created the staging area onto Samba mounted filesystems for both Linux and Solaris.

  • Question re: Blaze DS Directory Structure Following Turnkey Installation

    Hello. I've been building client-side apps with flex for a while and have started getting into backend development.
    I have read up a fair bit on blaze ds and have downloaded the turnkey installation and successfully ran a few of the samples...but i have a couple of questions re: the directory structure if someone could help...i unzipped the turnkey into Blaze_ds folder on the desktop...
    a) .........\Blaze_ds\tomcat\webapps\blazeds\WEB-INF  - could u please explain the concept of the WEB-INF directory and the folders inside it (flex, src, classes, lib, etc.)
    b) ......... \Blaze_ds\tomcat\webapps\samples - there are all the samples in here (eg. testdrive-chat, testdrive-101, dashboard, etc.)...and there is also a WEB-INF and META-INF folders...just wondering why there isn't WEB-INF/META-INF inside each sample folder
    Finally, can someone also let me know the concept of localhost and the port number 8400 and are there any good books on blaze ds?
    thx!

    There's really not much difference. In some cases, you might already have a web application you are using so you could just copy the contents of the blazeds web app into your existing web application.
    Application servers can host more than one web application and a Flex application that uses BlazeDS can be deployed on a different web app than the one where BlazeDS is running or a different server entirely so it really just depends how you want to set things up.
    Hope I'm not just making things more confusing for you. . .

  • Directory structure for servlets and webservices in one application

    hi,
    Can any one help me for creating servlets and webservices in one
    application and deploying in Jboss 4.2.0.
    I want to know exactly what is the directory structure for creating this
    application and what are the additional .xml files for deploying this application.
    if any one know this answere please tell the answere.

    I figured out a solution - it's a problem of policies. In detail: Server1's codebase entry (file:) refers to the class directory of Server1's project. In the simple case of only Client1, which has no codebase entry, it works fine without a file permission on the side of Server1. In the complex case of Client1+Server2, which has to have a codebase entry (file:) refering to the class directory of the Server2's project on a separate machine, for exactly the same method call from Client1 to Server1 a file permission entry on the side of Server1 is needed for Server1's class directory. But WHY ???
    It seems to be a little confusing with the codebase entries, many of the posts are contrary to others and to my personal experiences. Some comments given by Adrian Colley throw a little light upon some aspects. Is there anybody, who can explain the whole topic, when, why, and which part of RMI application deals with codebase entries, also in case of not dynamic code downloading ? May be there is also a reference into the java docs, which I didn't found up to now.
    Thanks in advance

  • What should be directory structure for Custom MDS files?

    Hi,
    I have personalize a page and then exported the personalization.
    Now my requirment is to migrate this personalization to other server, for which clients want steps specific to UNIX.
    My doubt is where should I copy these files on the server to import the personalization using XMLImporter command? ( Client do not have JDev on his server, so can not use impot command)
    my custom_top structure is like '/u02/int/applmgr/CUSTOM/xbol/11.5.0'
    The customization is part of product 'OTA'
    I am confused about where to put(Directory structure on custom top) customization and other MDS file to import using XMLImport.
    This customization is also using a Custom LOV for which, I have given the path xbol/oracle/apps/ota/admin/enrollment/webui/XbolGradeRN.
    For now I have transfered the file from window based JDeveloper and things are working fine. I need the UNIX directory structure for MDS files.
    Please help to clear my this doubt.
    Regards,
    Adarsh

    There is nothing specific to UNIX since the files are never picked from the file system on a production instance. You can place them under a temp directory with the proper package structure, the same way you exported personalizations for the seeded pages and the same custom package structure for your new pages and run import command. It's only how you run your import command matters, if you have placed the files in the proper package under some temp directory just give the -rootdir to point to your temp directory and no -rootPackage option.

  • Is there a suggested directory structure for iTunes?

    Is there a suggested directory structure for iTunes? I have moved my library around several times (what with new machines, etc.) and I find that I have two app libraries in different locations and I think it is the problem behind a refusal to sync issue I'm having with my iPad.
    Any help would be gladly appreciated!
    Luke
    (Screen grabs a great help)

    I'll see your Tb and raise you some - the truth is, almost every major revision and data migration from MBP to MBP and now back to a MP has caused replication of folders in the strangest of places, none of which I have consciously created - I mean, why would anyone except out of self-focused spite want to create three different sets of apps folders - to say nothing of the interminable Compilations folders that sprout from no where in particular!
    I could understand the issue if I was careless or a complete neophyte,  I only moved to the Apple platform about 6 years ago, (even though I've been using the platform since 1987) when I went to work for the company.
    iTunes I think is a little like a cat - it recognises my lingering, subyle antipathy and rolls all over me just to mess with my head!
    Thanks for the information, none-the-less, greatly appreciated.

  • Official directory structure for itunes 8 in OSX

    I have had so many different locations for my itunes libraries over the years and I would like place the on a time capsule drive now. What is the default directory structure for itunes8? Are movies, podcasts, tv shows all in the same directory?

    HD>Users>Your Account>Music>iTunes>iTunes Music - this is the default for iTunes.
    The iTunes folder contains the data base file, .xml, genius, art work etc - the iTunes Music contains all your music in folders arranged by artist then album. Note that this is true as long as you have the iTunes prefs>Advanced - the 'keep' and 'copy' options are enabled.

  • An EFFECTIVE development directory structure for J2EE platform?

    Hi, here we r talking about deployment environment more than development
    environment. Have u ever think about designing an EFFECTIVE development
    directory structure for J2EE platform( e.g. weblogic )? u r not using the
    deployment directories for coding, r u? :)
    I used to construct a dir structure for dev and want to improve it.
    d:/wholesystem/*.prj // Project files

    ...../module1/doc/... // Module doc files
    ...../module1/classes/... // Module class files
    ...../module2/...

    ...../web/WEB-INF/... //...
    Do u have any good ideas? Thanks!

    Create a web-inf folder at the same level of src and
    jsp folder inside src
    i mean
    /build.xml
    /src/
    /src/java/<package>/...../*.java
    /src/demo/<package/...../*.java
    /src/test/<package>/....../*.java
    /src/jsp
    /web-infSo, would you put in /src/jsp only the *.jsp?
    And what in /WEB-INF ? What woud you put there? Would you do something like:
    /WEB-INF/web.xml
    /WEB-INF/src/<package>/..../<my_servlets_and_j2ee_stuff>.java
    /WEB-INF/classes/<package>/..../<my_servlets_and_j2ee_stuff>.java
    In this manner sources and classes are in the same tree, it does not seem very clean to me, expecially if you consider that probably I must have a "test" directory to unit test some j2ee stuff (as for the j2se stuff in "src"): how would you do that?
    Is this directory structure anyway what you meant or not?

  • Directory structure for  ABAP+JAVA Dialog Instance

    Hello,
    Can any one clarify how will be the directory structure in a case where we have ABAP+Java System?
    For Central Instance,DVEBMGS<instance no>
    Central Services,SCS<instance no+1>
    Ex:DVEBMGS20
    SCS21
    If I have another dialog instance,can I have only ABAP or only Java in that?What will be the directory structure?But I read that they will be in 1:1 ratio
    Will it be D22(Only ABAP) or J22(Java only).
    As a dialog instance,can ABAP exist with out JAVA.
    or can JAVA exist without ABAP
    Please explain the directory structure with an example.

  • Directory structure for a J2SE+J2EE project: suggestions are very welcome

    Hi, I have to start coding and organizing the CVS tree of an already mature project which is J2SE. This J2SE project can be described as a "core engine" for something else, and is a quite large project, and up to now has only a command line User Interface. I organized the dir structure as this:
    /build.xml
    /src/
    /src/java/<package>/...../*.java
    /src/demo/<package/...../*.java
    /src/test/<package>/....../*.java
    when I ant compile, all the .classes will be done in the "build" directory (reflecting the structure in the "src" dir):
    /build/
    /build/java/<package>/....../*.class
    /build/demo/<package/...../*.class
    /build/test/<package>/..../*.class
    I am happy with this, but now comes the issue: a web interface to use this core engine (it will have the same package namespace) is in developing progess, so I have to put somewhere the *.jsp, the WEB-INF dir with web.xml and servlet sources: how would you do this? And where would you let Ant put the compiled servlet classes?
    I can modify the previous directory structure to accomodate the J2EE part, this is really not a problem!

  • Guidelines regarding directory structure for multiple Oracle homes on Unix!

    Hi All,
    Are there any guidelines published regarding directory structures that should be defined while using multiple Oracle homes on Unix/Linux box?
    I am looking for guidelines regarding admin and oradata folders so that we dont accidentally mess up with the DB contents with a wrong Oracle home.
    Its a development server with 8i and 10g. 11g might also get loaded on the same server in future.
    Thanks in advance...
    Regards

    Thanks Maran.
    I have already checked many installation guides before posting here. All of them mention about creating folders like /admin or /oradata on various mount points but none of the naming conventions really indicate whether it is a 8i database or a 10g database.
    This is required when you are having multiple Oracle installations under /opt and databases are running from different mount points.

  • Correct Directory Structure for Serving a Web Application from Arch?

    At the moment I have an Apache web server hosting PHP based web pages out of /srv/http. This works for what I am doing at the moment, but i was wondering if there was a more professional\correct way to host a web application on Arch.
    When would someone host a page in /srv/http vs /var/www ? ( is /www even widely used on archlinux) ?
    Or is their a better way all together ( I read something about symbolic linking the 2 directories)?
    Can anyone provide a sample of how they decided to set up their basic web directories ?
    Any help is very much appreciated !

    It mainly depends on the webserver you're using.  There's nothing about the difference between /srv/http versus /var/www.  As far as the web user is concerned they don't even know what directory structure you're using.

  • Best practices code structure for large projects?

    Hi, I come from the Java world where organizing your code is handled conveniently through packages. Is there an equivalent in XCode/Objective C? I'd rather not lump all my observers, entities, controllers, etc in one place under "Classes"...or maybe it doesn't matter...
    If anyone could point me to a document outlining recommended guidelines I'd appreciate it.
    Thanks! Jon

    If you have a small project, you can setup Groups in Xcode to logically organize your files. Those Groups do not necessarily have to correspond to any directory structure. I have all my source files in one directory but organize them into Groups in Xcode.
    If you have a larger project, you can do the same thing, but with code organized into actual directories. Groups can be defined to be relative to a particular directory.
    If really do have a large project, you should organize things the same was as in Java. Your "packages" would just be libraries - either static or dynamic.
    As far as official guidelines go, there really aren't any. It would be best to stick to the Cocoa Model-View-Controller architecture if that is the type of application you are working on. For other software, you can do it however you want, including following something like Sun's guidelines if you want.
