OIM in VMWare - Production environment

We are planning to implement OIM in VMWare environment. OIM will be deployed in Weblogic clustered for high availability. Oracle database will also be in VMware. Just need your input on how scalable and what are performance concerns. Other points that I need to consider for sizing/capacity.
Any help will be highly appreciated

A note for you. Oracle products are not supported on VMWare. If any issues arrise, you will be instructed to place the applications on physical boxes first. Oracle Virtual Server is supported for all Oracle products. I'm not doing a sales pitch, but giving you a heads up.

Is vmware supported for production environment ?

Hi All,
Is vmware supported for production environment ?
Thanks
Sunny

All,
I'm glad someone has outlined the clear support statement that has existed for sometime between VMware - SAP. For those of you still running on Oracle, here is some good news:
Wording towards SAP Customers requesting support:
"Oracle, VMware and SAP are working collaboratively to ensure support for SAP customers that use VMware virtualization for SAP solutions running Oracle DB. Functional tests are currently being performed to verify supportability of the SAP&Oracle stack. Details will be made available in SAP note 1173954 u201CSupport of Oracle for VMwareu201D after tests have been completed. It is expected that in Q1 2010, ESX 3.5 and later releases including vSphere 4 will be supported by Oracle and SAP according to Oracleu2019s metalink note 249212."
There is no reason why x86 platform today cannot run the most demanding workloads on VMware vSphere in a production environment. But has noted earlier, don't get hung up on "production" - you have heaps of TestDev, SolMan TestDev, sandboxes, gateways, application servers etc that should immediately by put into a VM - once you are comfortable with your solution in-house, I'm sure you will move production instances into a VM as well.
Below are some great resources for you to use in your quest to virtualize SAP on VMware:

Oracle product not supported on Vmware virtual environment

Members,
Oracle certification says Oracle products running on Vmware virtual environment are not supported.
One of my development Identity manager setup is running on Vmware virtual environment.
As of now application is running fine and I am getting support from Oracle on product issues.
Can anyone suggest what could be the impact of this in future and what types of issues I can expect in future.
Thanks,
S M

Could you verify this behaviour outside a VMware virtual machine?
If yes, then please open an SR on Metalink to let support diagnose.
Provide an RDA, AWR snapshot if you have licensed the Diagnistic Pack - if not than provide STATSPACK snapshots.
Sorry - but this is a database upgrade forum :-)

Flash builder 4.7 consuming lot of memory in VMware VDI environment.

Flash builder 4.7 consuming lot of memory in VMware VDI environment. When we debugg the application then it is throwing out of memory exception. We need to close and relaunch Flash builder IDE numerous times. Can you please help us with setting changes we need to make for flash builder or VMware VDI environment so that we can resolve this issue?

Hi Atul_Saini,
So I checked your link and all seems correct on my computer.
At the bottom of the link you provided there is "see also" section, about activation / deactivation.
I did not deactivated my licenses before my window re-install, and if now I go to Flash Builder -> Help , desactivation button is greyed out. Could it be the source of my problem that I used my licenses on two computer and did not deactivated them ?
If yes, how could I deactivate thoses products ? I searched on my profile but I can't find a way to do it.

MSDN and Production Environment (again)

I started this on another forum before I found this one, but this seems a more suitable place.
The definition of "production environment" seems rather odd. In some responses on this forum it appears to refer to "soft" systems whereas the latest MSDN licence refers to environment and physical kit.
Below is a conversation I had over email with someone from MSDN and I find the whole thing utterly bizarre. I cannot for the life of me see how this helps anyone apart from MS being able to charge for non-production software. It renders having a powerful desktop
for local lab experimentation pointless as you're not allowed to install anything and effectively doubles the hardware cost to small companies if they have to buy a separate server for any testing work (yes, best practice and all that, but budgets...) or pay
out for a Windows Datacenter licence.
Question:
“If a physical machine running one or more virtual machines is used entirely for development and test, then the operating system used on the physical host system can be MSDN software. However, if the physical machine or any of the VMs hosted on that physical
system are used for other purposes, then both the operating system within the VM and the operating system for the physical host must be licensed separately.”
Is this actually saying that if I have a physical server licenced with a purchased (not MSDN) Server 2012 R2, running Hyper-V with, say, a production file server VM on it, that ALL Windows VMs on that machine must have purchased licences even if they
are only for development & testing purposes?
Is this saying that all production and development Windows VMs must be only completely separate hardware, cluster, SAN, etc otherwise you must pay for full licences for the VMs?
Or does it just mean that the bare metal licence (plus any additional ones required for running further production VMs) must be purchased if the VMs are a mix of production and development?
Answer:
We kindly inform that any products licensed under the developer tools model (e.g. SQL/BizTalk developer and/or MSDN) must be installed on their own separate physical hardware.
You are not allowed to run test or development products on a server where production workloads are running at the same time. Kindly run your developer software on a device/host that is dedicated to testing and development.
Explanation:
The Product Use Rights (PUR) say that the developer software is not licensed for use in a production environment. Even if the PUR does not have a separate definition of production environment, a production environment is a set of resources for network, physically
dedicated hardware and software to provide "live" service. If the intent was to say that the same physical server could be used for both development and production - it would say "not licensed for use in a production OSE," instead
it says environment.
See current PUR, page 51:
Developer Tools (User License)
You have the rights below for each license you acquire.
# You must assign each license to a single user.
# Each Licensed User may run an unlimited number of copies of the Developer Tools software and any prior version on any device.
# The Licensed User may use the software for evaluation and to design, develop, test, and demonstrate your programs. These rights include the use of the software to simulate an end user environment to diagnose issues related to your programs.
# The software is not licensed for use in a production environment. # Additional rights provided in license terms included with the software are additive to these product use rights, provided that there is no conflict
with these product use rights, except for superseding use terms outlined below.
Question:
Classifying an entire physical infrastructure as "production" in these days of virtualisation and shared storage really does not make any sense at all. Not using the software for production purposes makes perfect sense, but not being able to locate
it alongside production OS installs is mad. Does this only apply to the server running the VM (CPU and RAM)? If the VHDX is hosted on shared SAN storage does the SAN have to be dedicated to non-production storage?
Answer:
We kindly inform that after double-checking the case we would like to confirm the development software cannot be run on the same hardware with production software.
We have also received a feedback from the responsible team regarding your request about a dedicated SAN (Storage Area Network) for MSDN software.
They have confirmed that the SAN has to be dedicated to the development and testing environment if it is used to run the software acquired through MSDN.
Question:
OK, so if I have my desktop (which is a production environment as I use it for email and other day to day office tasks), can I turn on Hyper-V and install an MSDN Windows Server 2012 instance for development purposes?
Answer:
We kindly inform it is not allowed to install and run software from MSDN subscriptions in production environments. Please do not install MSDN software on a desktop in a production environment:
"[.] The customer will need to run the developer software on a device/host that is dedicated to testing and development.

The Product Use Rights (PUR) say that the developer software is not licensed for use in a production environment. Even if the PUR does not have a separate definition of production environment, a production environment is a set of resources for network, physically

Hi Mike,
It sucks that MSDN software can't be run in a production environment, that means you have to have two entirely separate hardware environments, which are costly, and it seems unnecessary.
That's essentially it. I'm not saying for one second that it should be used for production purposes, just that it's physical location shouldn't be relevant. Also, the word "environment" is a very bad choice in the documentation simply because it's very open
to interpretation.
A production environment is defined as an environment that is accessed by end users of an application (such as an Internet Web site) and that is used for more than
Acceptance Testing of that application
or Feedback. Some scenarios that constitute production
environments include:
Environments that connect to a production database.
Environments that support disaster-recovery or backup for a production environment.
Environments that are used for production at least some of the time, such a server that is rotated into production during peak periods of activity.
So I dont think (here's that inconclusive language) but am not sure that your desktop machines count as production environments, based on that, unless end users are connecting to them. (I dearly hope they are not!)
My reading is based on the "Other Guidance" section:
"If a physical machine running one or more virtual machines is used entirely for development and test, then the operating system used on the physical host system can be MSDN software. However, if the physical machine or any of the VMs
hosted on that physical system are used for other purposes, then both the operating system within the VM and the operating system for the physical host must be licensed separately."
<o:p>This is the crux of the matter and the interpretation of "licensed separately". A (to my mind) sensible reading of that would be "if you're running any production purpose VMs on a server then the physical host OS must be a full licence
[presuming it's Server 2012 and not, say, VMWare or Hyper-V 2012] as must all production purpose VMs on that server". This has been getting interpreted by others (I'm not the first) and backed up by MS as meaning that if you want to run any dev/test VMs on
a server that also runs production VMs then you can't use MSDN for those dev/test VMs.</o:p>
Also, there is a section
here, on the MSDN Licensing help page that says (with my added emphasis):
Many
MSDN subscribers use a computer for mixed use—both design, development, testing, and demonstration of your programs (the use allowed under the MSDN subscription license) and some other use. Using the software in any other way, such as for doing email,
playing games, or editing a document is another use and is not covered by the MSDN subscription license.
When this happens, the underlying operating system must also be licensed normally by purchasing a regular copy of Windows such as the one that came with a new OEM PC.
Now to me, it seems this might be saying that the underlying operating system on a work
machine cannot be licensed using MSDN if that work machine is going to be doing non-msdn things in addition to MSDN things. It doesn't say "This can't happen" it just says "When this happens, the underlying
OS must be licensed normally..."
So, based on what I'm reading it seems that this quote from you might not be true:
"We can't install a local MSDN instance of Server 2012 or 8.1 for dev and test under Hyper-V on desktops
because desktops used for email, writing documents, etc are production. "
I wouldn't have expected this to be true either, but this is the response I was given. It may well be
that my question was misunderstood. I hope this is the case otherwise one of the big reasons for turning on Hyper-V on expensive, powerful desktops enabling the running of personal test environments goes out the window!
Thanks for your time on this.

Unable to import the Internet servivce into Production Environment

Hi,
We put the internet service and its HTML templates in a custom package for integrated ITSMobile. We got everything but the internet service ZXXX in the production. Has anyone come across this before? We were able to transport to the quality system. But it did not create the internet service in the production environment. Is it authorization issue? Your input will be highly appreciated.
Regards,
Subbu

Hi Subbu,
I suggest you to as your basis guys how are familiar with transports between systems. They will find out what the reason is. Without being able to look into transport protocols it is unlikeliy that someone here can advise you.

Issue in production environment

Hi,
We got an issue in the production environment on last Friday and yet not able to find out the root cause of the issue.
Environment
GUI : .Net
Server : Java
Application Server: Jboss
Database: Sqlserver
The Java application is deployed into Jboss application server which connects to SQL server as back end. GUI makes the web service call to server for data communication
Issue
Friday at 2 PM users reported the slowness of the application (Not getting the response from server in GUI), all the request from GUI were getting timed out.
Restart of Jboss didn't help
Restarted the Jboss and sqlserver for the second time and than the environment became stable
Analysis
1. From the thread dump of Jboss log we see that there are many threads waiting on a socket for database connection(according to database team all the connections are open and available at that particular time).
2. The size of transaction log is almost doubled during this period (when the issue was reported).
We couldn't find a reason why this issue is happened. Is it a database issue or something else? Please suggest...
Thanks,
Manoj

Hi Manoj,
According to your description, when running the web application, many threads are waiting for the socket from database which cause requests from front GUI time out. Right?
In this scenario, user can access the front GUI, which means the application server is working. Since the connections are all open at that particular time, it should not be issue on your JDBC. It seems to be a deadlock issue which cause other threads
waiting and hang. I recommend check and optimize your code. On database side, I suggest you open the SQL profiler, select DeadLock Graph, it will record when deadlock occurs. Please refer to links below:
Detecting and Ending Deadlocks
Analyze Deadlocks with SQL Server Profiler
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

Development and product environment

Dear all,
I want to setup two databases in seperated server. One for development purpose and another for product environment.
Which good method/tool in oracle can transfer data (like pl/sql,tables,fields) from
development to product environment?
Thanks you

I would strongly suggest cloning the database from Development to Production, using RMAN. You get a proper copy that way - and it isn't hard to do. Howard Rogers has all the answers here: http://www.dizwell.com/prod/node/9

HI,
The TR will not move the changes as you are expecting here.
Any changes to planning area, below 5.0 need to de-intialize the planning area.
just like
1. hold the latest back up
2. de-intialize planning area
3. make the required changes to planning area
4. initialize planning area and do conisistency checks
5. load back the data to planning area at all CVC level
all the steps need to perfom, in Dev and Quality and Production servers,
Plan the activity for a weekend so that users will not get disturb*
All the best

Problem on developing SSRS report in a production environment

Any problem could be caused if have to develop SSRS report in a production environment ?
If so, how it can be prevented?
Thanks!

Hi ,
As per my understanding, Normally our environment setup contains Development,testing,preproduction,production and its varies from company to company.
We develop SSRS report in development environment and after testing we deploy it to production report server.
Development environment use development database for creating report like your database IP and credential will use development environment
setup. and production environment use production database for creating report like your database IP and credential will use production environment setup.
Thanks

How to port database changes from development to a production environment

How do I port database changes from the development to the production environment?
I am using v8 and have always had to redo everything using the schema manager all over in the production environment. Is there an easy way to generate a script, for example to dump the database changes on the development machine to be executed later on the production machine?

This should already be a clearly defined change control process. Once a procedure, function, package, trigger, or whatever completes the testing rounds, it should be promoted to production.
Forgive me if it seems I'm trivializing, but I don't see the problem, just copy the object(s) from your software library (or development) into production using whatever tool works best or has been chosen. If you are doing data copies then you have various options again including good old export/import.

Create a new portlet in Deployed Portal in production environment

are there any ways to import or create a new portlet in Deployed Portal in production environment?
Edited by: user8322798 on May 1, 2011 7:26 AM

This can done via WSRP proxy portlets and streaming desktops. First, you'll need to have a WSRP producer setup somewhere. This could be another WLP webapp with portlets, or another server altogether. Or, you can use the JSR 286 WSRP import tool from within the Portal Administration Console (I think it's under Services | WSRP | Import Tool) -- this will allow you upload .war(s) of JSR 168 or 286 portlets, which will be turned into WSRP producer(s).
Then, you can use the Portal Administration Console to register a WSRP Producer, and then add portlets from the producer to your desktop (http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E15919_01/wlp.1032/e14235/chap_fed_books_pages.htm#FPGWP690). Additionally, once the producer has been registered in Portal Adminstration Console, an adminstrator user can use the Dynamic Visitor Tools from within the streaming desktop itself to add wsrp proxy portlets to the desktop (http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E15919_01/wlp.1032/e14243/dvt.htm#PDGWP691).
It is not possible to add new local .portlet files to a deployed application in production mode. This requires adding the file artifacts to the .ear/.war and redeploy the application.
