Is it required that an application file *.ear be installed on each managed server of a cluster?

          When I installed identical copies of an *.ear file in each
          of two servers in cluster (WLS 6.0sp2), and try to update the
          file in the one server which co-locates with admin server host
          different ports), the other server also showed message
          indicating undeployment EJBs inside the application, and then
          failed. Is the physical copy in this second server still used? Does it actually
          retrieve the new copy in another server in memory?
          Thanks,
          - Ming
          

You should only place the ear file on the admin server. The managed servers download a copy from the admin server as they deploy it. Make sure (in the admin console) that the application (and the web apps and ejbs within it) are marked for deployment
          on the managed servers...

  • Building Flex Application with Flex Builder installed in a remote server

    Building Flex Application with Flex Builder installed in a remote server and different developers accessing it via VNC etc
    I have a requirement as below..........this is mainly to look for a solution where we can see a environment.............where we can stop developer to install flex builder locally, download/check out code locally and work locally ..............Please have a look ........
    1. There is Remote Server hosting our source code say 1st Remote Server
    2. There is another 2nd Remote Server which support workspace for each user
    3. Flex Builder installed in the 2nd Remote Server
    4. Each Developer connects to the 2nd Remote Server via VNC etc log in to their workspace
    5. Each developer check out code in their workspace by connecting to 1st Remote Server.
    6. Start Flex Builder instance which is running in the 2nd Remote Server
    5. Each developer open source code modifies, build application in their workspace and check
    Do anyone have any idea whether this kind of environment is possible in Flex or can anyone suggest something which is almost close to this ? I heard Cloud Computing is something that world is looking to represent this kind of solution .............not sure though

    Hi
    The concept of cloud computing is not even very clear to me
    I think this is what I understood about it ...........from this link http://communication.howstuffworks.com/cloud-computing.htm
    It says
    "Instead of installing a suite of software for each computer, you'd only have to load one application. That application would allow workers to log into a Web-based service which hosts all the programs the user would need for his or her job. Remote machines owned by another company would run everything from e-mail to word processing to complex data analysis programs. It's called cloud computing, and it could change the entire computer industry"
    "There's a good chance you've already used some form of cloud computing. If you have an e-mail account with a Web-based e-mail service like Hotmail, Yahoo! Mail or Gmail, then you've had some experience with cloud computing. Instead of running an e-mail program on your computer, you log in to a Web e-mail account remotely"
    My issue is not with the license. The solution that I am looking for is
    1. Don't want the developer to download the source code in any fashion either checked out or anything else in the local machine
    2. Want the developer to work directly on the server
    3. Looking for a solution where each developer is not required to install Flex Builder locally and the developer can use Flex Builder that is installed on the server and in his workspace and create/modify build on the server itself
    Hope I could make you understand this time ................

  • Loading application files outside CF app root (CF+JBoss)

    I have CF9 installed as an EAR file in JBoss 5.1.0 ($JBOSS_HOME/server/default/deploy/cfusion.ear -- on local disk).  I would like to place the custom application files on a shared file system (e.g. /apps/mycfapp) outside of the path $JBOSS_HOME/server/default/deploy/cfusion.ear/cfusion.war.  With JRun, you could map to a different resource path by modifying cfusion.ear/cfusion.war/WEB-INF/jrun-web.xml.
    Ex:
        <virtual-mapping>
            <resource-path>/*</resource-path>
            <system-path>/apps/mycfapp</system-path>
        </virtual-mapping>
    Is there a way to modify/specify the path to the custom application files with other application servers?  Or is this not possible at all and all of the files must be deployed into the $JBOSS_HOME/server/default/deploy/cfusion.ear/cfusion.war directory?
    Desired behavior: When I access http://www.mydomain.com/cfusion/index.cfm, ColdFusion would load index.cfm from /apps/mycfapp/index.cfm instead of $JBOSS_HOME/server/default/deploy/cfusion.ear/cfusion.war/index.cfm

    I need some help with this as well.
    I think that it is a CF configuration issue and has nothing to do with JBoss.
    My presumptions:
    1.  On a linux box, I "should" be able to make a symlink in the cfusion.war directory that points to a external directory that contains .cfm files.
    2.  CF has a "Server Settings -> Mappings" page that I think "should" allow this to work.
    So far, I can't get either of these 2 techniques to work.
    My particular intallation is on RHEL5, using JBoss 5 and CF9.
    I installed CF9 as an EAR in the JBoss deploy directory.
    For me, that is:  /opt/JBoss/server/default/deploy/cfusion.ear
    If I put a "test.cfm" file in /opt/JBoss/server/default/deploy/cfusion.ear/cfusion.war/rick/test.cfm, it works fine.
    But, I need to place the .cfm files on a shared drive that is outside the cfusion.war directory structure.
    I expected that a symbolic link in the cfusion.war directory that pointed to my shared directory would work, but it does not.
    For example if I replace the "rick" directory with a symlink that points to /cfmfiles, I would expect that to work.
    OR, if that doesn't work then I would expect that I could create a mapping from the CF Administrator that points logical path "/rick" to "/cfmfiles" directory path.  That does not work either.
    So, is there any way to configure CF9 on JBoss that allows me to put the .cfm files somewhere other than the cfusion.ear/cfusion.war directory?
    Thanks,
    Rick

  • Sync files across the Managed Server.

    We have exploded war deployed in the Weblogic Cluster and in this there is a feature which would create a zip file in the exploded folder and this zip file will be downloaded through the URL. Now the problem in clustered environment is when the application write the zip file which will be available in only one of the managed server and when we try to download the zip file through the LoadBalancer URL it may not hit the same Managed Server in which the zip file is available.
    Is there a way in weblogic cluster to sync the files across all the managed server so that we can access the file through loadbalancer.

    Hi Suresh
    1. Your issue has nothing to do with the cluster setup and the way you deploy the application (as EAR or Exploded). Basically in your application, you generate a file and automatically that gets stored in that machines location. Now when you access it from a load balancer, the request may go to other machine and naturally it will not find the file there. There is nothing in the cluster setup or something that can copy the files and replicate acorss the machines. Infact that will be way too complex. I will couple of solutions.
    2. Create a shared folder like public folder. Say in Windows, create a folder with some folder structure and map it as say X: Drive. now this X Drive can be accessed from any other machine like Machine1, Machine2 (after setting the sharing properties). First try directly from Windows Explorer itself. Now within your application, when you generate and store the file, refer this X: Drive with full path. You can make it more flexible by using a .properties file that has key value pair. Key is like FILE_LOCATION and value can be like X:\a\b\c. Now using simple Java Properties class API to load the contents from this file. You can add all the constants, check for if .properties file exist like that. Once you have all the properties loaded, then refer this key, to get its value and use that to store the file generated. Use the same approach, while retrieving the file also. Use the key to get the location and then look for the file you want to download. This should work, when the request goes to any managed server in the cluster. I used it. I created a utility class like MyAppPropertiesLoader, with some static methods, that reads the file only once, if it is null, and then get values using simle methods like getString(String aKey), getLong(String aKey) etc. The huge BENEFIT of this is, once you deploy the application say in Unix, natually, the shared location has to be one of the unix boxes. Then just mount this location on both the managed servers (mount is similar to mapping a drive in Windows OS). Also the location of the files can be changed anytime in the properties file. Say in QC, the location may be X:\a\b\c\qc. But for UAT on Unix it can be like /x/y/z/uat/. Now this .properties file can exist directly under the Domain root folder so you can access it directly without any path in your java code. You can also use System properties like user.home etc. Make sure to copy this .properties file on both the domains. The original master domain. And the psueduo domain that is generated when you run the unpack command if you have managed server in another machine.
    3. This is much simpler but kind of not recommended. Simply, create a simple table with few header columns and one BLOB/CLOB column. Store the file in this database table and retrieve from it. This means you will have JDBC code, and the code to create clob to store and generate file from clob for retrieval.
    My preference is the first option given above. Getting tools to copy files may be complex. Its not like syncing the data across but its the files that needs to be copied across the machines.
    Thanks

  • Install a web application on managed server

    Hi guys,
    I have 2 linux virtual machines (mach1 and mach2).
    I installed weblogic with one adminserver on mach1 and one managed server on mach2.
    Now I try to install apex for example on mach2. so I start weblogic on mach1, call weblogic console from mach2 BUT from here i cannot browse apex.war on mach2. It show only directories of mach1 !!! is this right ? am I missing something or all deployed applications should be installed in mach1 (where adminserver is) ?
    PS: apex is an example. it can be any web application providing a war file.
    thanks.

    Hi,
    You can deploy the application on "stage" mode, so that admin server will distribute the application to mach2.
    What you have to do is keep your web application on mach1 so that it is accessible from admin console. Now deploy the application in stage mode to managed server 2 on mach2 from console. Here Weblogic will access the application from mach1 and distribute it to managed server 2 i.e on mach2.
    Usualy in an ideal scenario platform design should be made to have a shared mount between machines for weblogic domain.
    rank if found useful..!
    Thanks,

  • Deployment of Web Application when the managed Server is down .....

    Part of our installation, we want to deploy our web application on to a managed server.
    So, we use the JMX API calls to deploy the web application. But, at the time of this deployment the managed server is not brought up. So, our expectation was that when the managed server is brought up later, it will automatically STAGE the web application from Admin Server and then, deploy it in the managed server.
    But, what is happending is that the web application is not being deployed to the managed server (even though the web application is configured to be deployed in the specified managed server in the config.xml and it is set as the default application of the managed server application).
    We are using WebLogic 7.0 SP2 on RedHat Linux 7.2.
    Can anyone help to deploy web application on to a managed server when the managed server is down ?

    Kindly help.

    How are you starting the manageserver. Is it using command line or using NodeManager from Weblogic console of admin server. Most of the times we start managed server using yourDomain/bin/startManagedWebLogic.cmd (.sh).
    startManagedWebLogic nameOfYourManagedServer adminURL(Ex: http://host:port).
    If you created a managed server at the time of creation of domain itself using custom option, then under your domain root folder, you should see a file named like "startManagedWebLogic_readme.txt" that kind of gives the same above command.
    If you added the managed server later on, to an existing single server domain, then you can use the above command.

  • Deploying application with EAR file: problems....

    Hello!

  • How to create a .mdf SQL Server database from a Data-Tier Application file that has data?

    This is a noob question, though I do use SQL Server databases all the time with Entity Framework when I code in C# using Visual Studio 2013.  The development environment is found below at [A].  I am trying to make a clone of a SQL Server 2008 R2
    database (.mdf)  that exists online.  I can read, connect and work with this database in Visual Studio 2013, but I wish to make a local copy of the database, as an .MDF file.  Somewhere in my notes I have a way of creating a local copy from
    an online database when using Visual Studio but I forgot how (it seems, reviewing my notes, that it deals with ADO.NET which is deprecated in Visual Studio 2013 these days, or so it seems).  So I'm looking for another way.  What I did was create
    (or export) a "Data-Tier Application File" from the online SQL Server database, with data, and it seems to have worked in that this Data-Tier Application file exists on my hard drive and seems to have data in it ("SQL Server Replication Snapshot"
    is the format it seems).  It contains skeleton code to create a database, but when I tried to execute it with SQL Server 2014 Management Studio, I got a bunch of errors.
    So my question is:
    1) Can I somehow create a .MDF SQL Server Database from an Data-Tier Application file that has data?  What tool do I use?  I saw this link, http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/2639.how-to-use-data-tier-application-import-and-export-with-a-windows-azure-sql-database.aspx 
    and it relates to Azure, but is there a tool for C#Visual Studio 2013, standalone?
    2) If there's an easy way to create a .mdf SQL Server Database file from an online file, within SQL Server Management Studio?  I don't think so, since it would require Administrator permissions on the online server, which I don't have. I have permission
    to read, update, delete the online database file, but strangely not to download it (the service I use has a tool for backup, but not for download).
    3) same question as 2), but for Visual Studio 2013?  I don't think so, since I notice none of the templates even mentions ADO.NET anymore, but instead they go with Entity Framework.  Using EF I can of course do anything I want with the online database
    (CRUD), but it remains online.  Maybe there's a switch to make a local copy?  I guess I could write a short program to suck all the data out of the online database and put it into a new, duplicate database having the same tables, that I create on
    my localhost, but my question here is if there's an easier way than this, maybe a tool or command I can run from inside Visual Studio?
    Any advice on any of the above questions is appreciated.
    Thank you,

    Thanks but these links are too general to help.
    "2. what do you mean by online file?" - I mean the SQL Server database file is on a remote web server that I rent from, but I am not the administrator of.  I can access my database using SQL Server Authentication, but nothing more.

    What do you mean by too general? It explains on how you can use data tier application to create and deploy databases
    May be this will help you to understand better

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    The section Install missing components has advice on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful if Apple Application Support won't install normally. You could try this approach first.
