Grid Control and SOA suite monitoring best practice

Hi there,
I’m trying to monitor a SOA implementation on Grid Control.
Are there some best practices about it?
Thanks,
Nisti

If they use it to access and monitor the database without making any other changes, then it should be fine. But if they start scheduling stuff like oradba mentioned above, then that is where they will clash.
You do not want a situation where different jobs are running on the same database from different setups by different team (cron, dbcontrol, dbms_job, grid control).
Just remember their will be aditional resource usage on the database/server to have both running and the Grid Control Repository cannot be in the same database as the db console repository.

Oracle WebLogic Integration's Custom Control and SOA Suite Spring Component

I crated this thread to inform users about some issues with the
Oracle WebLogic Integration's Custom Control and SOA Suite Spring Component
tutorial from
http://www.oracle.com/technology/architect/soa-suite-series/wli_custom_control_spring_component.html
- Fig. 6 doesn't agree with what's just above. This step isn't necessary because it can be create automatically when you make a class.
- Fig. 11 shows the package
sample.oracle.otn.soaessentials.javainteg
and the class should be placed in
sample.oracle.otn.soaessentials.javainteg.impl
- The Business Tier -> Spring 2.5 might not be available. Extensions steps steps should be given.
- Fig. 15 When lgger-context is created in Jdev 11.1.1.3.0 the Spring context is created in
/mywork/SOASuiteWLIEssentials/JavaIntegration/src/META-INF
while in the sample project it is in
/mywork/SOASuiteWLIEssentials/JavaIntegration
- Fig 18 has incorrect class name.
- Fig 19 is incorrect: there is no Spring 2.5 SCA in Jdev 11.1.1.3.0; there is only WebLogic SCA. Where is the canvas mentioned above?
- Fig 28 logger-context.xml is not where it is displayed in the fig. It is /src/Meta-Inf/.
- Most of the fig from the deployment are not up to date.
- I don't understand the need for the portion:
"Implementing the use case in WLI" up to
"Implementing the use case in SOA Suite"
It confused me when I tried to follow the tutorial.

SOA System Testing on SOA Suite. Best Practices and approaches needed.

Hi,
New to this Forum and sorry if I landed at wrong place. We need to perform System/Functional testing for applications deployed on Oracle SOA Suite.
SOAP UI helps us in many ways.
But scenarios below being considered, we need your expertise to help us in this effort:
Services may be of various complexities...Eg:
1. A service operation may be of kind where we send a request and not receive response.
2. Service of type where we send request and cannot wait for response bcoz of service being in Asynchronous nature.
3. Request sent and we get batch of responses and also a vice-versa scenario.
Unit Testing for above scenarios can be done using JDeveloper based BPEL Test Framework. However, our focus is with respect to System Testing.
Any Open-source Testing tools for Web Services or proprietary tools that can do this would be of help.
Please note that we have evaluated and find that HP Service Test Tool helps in almost all above scenarios. However, looking for all possible alternatives and best approaches.
Your Advice is highly appreciated.
Best Regards,
Chaitanya

Grid Control and filesystem monitoring

Hi,
With the use of emagent_storage.config, are we able to monitor filesystem statistic? If so, where in Grid Control(11g) is the monitoring page located. I am only able to find the metric monitoring of space/usages rather than file system stats of read/write performances.
Thanks

you should mark this is as closed and open it in the em section
Enterprise Manager
but more then likely need a plugin, if theres not one here
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/oem/extensions/index-100685.html#OEM11g
and noone else has built one, you'll have to build one yourself

When I share a file to YouTube, where does the output file live? I want also to make a DVD. And is this a best practice or is there a better way?

I want also to make a DVD, but can't see where the .mov files are.
And is this a best practice or is there a better way to do this, such as with a master file?
thanks,
/john

I would export to a file saved on your drive as h.264, same frame size. Then import that into youtube.
I have never used FCP X to make a DVD but I assume that it will build the needed vob mpeg 2 source material for the disk.
I used to use Toast & IDVD. Toast is great.
To "see" the files created by FCP 10.1.1 for YouTube, rt. (control) click on the Library Icon in your Movies/show package contents/"project"/share.

Figures in Grid Control and Enterprise Manager Console don't match!

Hi,
I have just installed Oracle 10g Grid Control and it is managing an existing database on another server. It appears to gather information as expected in most areas (I can look at the alert log through grid control and it is up to date to the nearest 60 seconds as I expect) but today I looked at how full my undo tablespace is and the figures seemed completely wrong. When looking through grid control it showed me that Undo was 20% full. When I looked in the old java console, it showed it was 30% full!
Is there any reason why figures in Grid Control would not be accurate or up to date? I have no error messages and it seems to be gathering data fine.
Is it more likely the old java console is not accurate? (I've always found it accurate in the past I think!).
These are Solaris Sparc servers, Oracle 10.2.0.3 Grid Control monitoring an Oracle 10.2.0.3 database on a remote server via management agent.
Thanks,
Paula

And this morning my old console says 21%, and the new Grid Control says 14%. So they both seem to be gathering the info and putting it out but they have completely different opinions on how much space is used. I think that makes the whole thing fairly useless. Not so glad I spent an age trying to get grid control set up now!!!
Any thoughts much appreciated!!!!
Thanks,
Paula

Installing Grid Control and not using ASM

Is it possible to install Grid Control and not be using ASM? We are on the brink of beginning our install (Peoplesoft) and may not use ASM. It seems to me from documentation that I'm reviewing that installing GC assumes you will be using ASM.
Any info would be appreciated.

Hi,
the Grid Control Repository database does not require ASM. It works perfectly fine with datafiles on a normal filesystem.
Best regards,
Robert

Grid control and em console !!

We have been using em console for a long time. It is very usefull for us. But we want to go one step further. What is the difference between these two? What will we gain if we use Grid control instead of em console?
Thank you very much for the replies.
Regards.

I assume you are refering to EM Database Control.
EM Database Control is focussed on management of one single Database.
OEM GRID Control, allows you to monitor and manage a complete data center. Meaning all Hosts (servers), Databases, Application Servers, Applications, Network components, Storage components etc. etc.
By using Management Packs you will have an enormous amount of features to do things like:
Configuration Management
Performance Tuning
Diagnostics
Service Level Management
Provisioning and Automated Patching
Application Testing
etc.etc.
CHeckout the documentation and data sheets on OTN for more info.
If you have any questions please ask.
Regards
Rob
For more info on OEM GC, you might want to check my blog http://oemgc.wordpress.com

Installing Grid Control and managing DBs on desktop

I want to install Grid Control, and manage DB on my own testing environment on desktops...I tried one time to install Grid Control on my desktop i become very slow. Now i am thinking to buy new Desktop dedicated for Grid Control only and see how it goes...any suggestions?
2nd how i can access my DB on the other desktop? Like i should install agents on that...and how to configure....

When teaching this class I typically have 6 pairs of students sharing a single P4 3Ghz with 4Gb of RAM gridserver. (combined 10.1.0.4 emrep with single OMS on RH 3 AS)
THis is more than enough for the 150 or so targets that we configure during class
The agents are deployed in any of several methods.(the install DVD is probabally the easiest for 1's and 2's) If you are monitoring a db expect to use about 150Mb of RAM for the agent. After setting up the agent ensure that your computer has local security policy configured so that "Login as Batch" is enabled for the user account that will be used for authentication to the desktop. (this also means that you need to have a windows password configured for that account as well).
The database configuration is semi-automatic once you have the agent installed on the desktop (it's called discovery)

SOA Suite 10g and SOA Suite 11g? what are the major changes in these two?

Hi Experts,
I am keen in knowing about Soa Suite 11g. SOA Suite 10g and SOA Suite 11g, BPEL changes? what are the major changes in these two product/tool wise? Is now OSB is part of Soa Suite 11g? it would be helpful for us to know what are the major changes and updates or modifications came in 11g.
Please share this valuable information.
Is there still any version is in progress from Oracle, which is yet to be officially launched from oracle?

what are the major changes in these two product/tool wise? Few major changes to enlist are that SOA suite 10g was using Oracle Application Server (OC4J) however 11g is on Weblogic and 11g is based on SCA. B2B is now part of SOA suite itself and OSB can share a domain with SOA. You may refer below link to know few more -
http://blogs.oracle.com/soabpm/2010/03/11gr1_patchset_2_111130_soa_fe.html
Is now OSB is part of Soa Suite 11g? OSB has a separate installer but can share a domain with SOA and SOA-direct binding is also supported now. Refer below link to know more about new features in OSB 11g -
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/relnotes.1111/e10132/osb.htm#CJACHEHJ
Is there still any version is in progress from Oracle, which is yet to be officially launched from oracle?No major release is planned. Patches for 11g R1 may come.

Oracle 10.2.0.3 Grid Control and ReNew the IP Address

Hello
I have installed Grid Control and added few hosts and was working fine. But I have changed the IP address of Grid Server host. I mean I have been given new IP address for Grid Control host.
I have changes the ip address in /etc/hosts and reboot the server. But Grid Control Console page is not coming up on IE. Help Please...
Regards
Sindhi

It has been sorted out. As Grid Control use FQDN and it do not use IP address. Just I changes the IP address and FQDN was same. I was forgot to change IP address from Terminal Server where I was accessing Grid Control Console using IE. Thanks for you both to response my query.

Install Grid Control and use repository within a DataGuard configuration

Hello,
I need some information if anyone has experience in the following
We have severel database running in DataGuard standby configuration.
I want to install OMS 11.1 and use the repository in a primary and standby configuration.
My configuration will look like this:
host 1     Primary Repository database
     OMS service 1
host 2     Standby Repository database
     OMS service 2
During normal operation i want to have 2 OMS services running.
Whenever a failover is necessary, i want to active my standby database and run OMS service 2.
Can this be a working configuration?
Any help is appreciated.
Regards,
Ben

Hi.
As far as I know, the dbconsole installed with the Oracle database applies for only one database on one server. The information accessed by the dbconsole relies within the sysman schema inside the actual database. For a database environment with 10 databases, it is possible to install grid control and manage all these databases despite version and OS. And I think that grid is a good solution to such an environment.
The grid installation itself is a application server installation, and I suggest if possible that you separate the rdbms server and the server that contains the grid control.
The repository database the grid control uses can either be installed in the 10g environment or in the grid control environment (server). You can place the repository in a new database in a separate ORACLE_HOME from the actual grid control application server.
Good luck.

OSB and SOA Suite in the Java Cloud

Hi All -- the question is rather to a technical support personnel of the Oracle Cloud,
Is it possible to deploy and run the OSB and SOA Suite applications on the Oracle Java Cloud? To be more precise:
1. Is the WL server in the cloud configured to contain the Oracle Soa Suite?
2. Is the WL server in the cloud configured to contain the Oracle Service Bus?
If not: would it be possible to configure the Cloud WL domains the way that these are supported?
What we need are two servers (or two clusters): a SOA Suite application runs on one, while the OSB application runs on the other.
Thanks for help.

Hi Chris,
Oracle's statement of direction that you can find at
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/integration/service-bus/docs/Oracle-Service-Bus-SOD.pdf
there will be convergence of the 2 products that basically address 2 different use cases (see Statement of Direction).
In my opinion new tools will be added to Jdeveloper to develop and deploy on Oracle Service Bus (OSB). In present OSB version, OSB tools are not part of Jdeveloper and transformations use XQuery instead of XSLT (as for Oracle ESB).
Hope this help you a little bit.
Regards,
Jean-Pierre

Grid Control and CEP

Hi,
We are building for one of our clients a solution that is comprized from several products. One of them is CEP. For all theother products we can use Grid Control to "watch" the status and "health" of the products but we could not find any reference to CEP.
We know that we can get the statistics on the EPNs using Visualizer or JMX but we prefer to have it all in one place. Is it possible to use Grid Control?
Is there any information regarding Grid Control and CEP?
Thanks,
Shimon

Hello,
There is currently no support for CEP in Grid Control.
