Portal production environment

Hello,
Concerning Portal on a production environment.
Could anyone please point me to some documentation or articles about this ?
I have seen-
http://e-docs.bea.com/wlp/docs81/deploy/index.html
http://edocs.bea.com/wlp/docs81/bestprac/index.html
In particular, I am looking for anything relating to performance, capacity planning,
other 'best practices' for administrators or deployers.
Thanks!

Automatic Deploying of Portal Configuration from Staging to Production Environment

Hello,
I'm anlyzing the opportunituy to write an automatic procedure that synchronize
our WebLogic Portal production environment with the staging one. These two environments
are physically separated.
I have found the BEA Propagation Tool. However it seems that is not possible to
define a procedure that is really totally automatic.
Firts of all, it is necessary to hava an manual operator that selects the objects
that have to be propagated and after starts the propagation process.
Besides it is necessary to have database connections beetween the progation tool
and both the environments.
What I'm looking for is a solution that
1. analyze the staging environment
2. export some files that contain both code, configuration and data (code, LDAP
and DB data)
3. import these files into the second enviroment
has someone deal with this problem?
Thans in advance
Ciao

Manish,
to answer your questions -
1. You can find the exact date and time for these refreshes/maintenance schedule on your production pod. Just go to 'Training & Support' in your production. There will be a calendar in which you can see the maintenance schedule. The details are quite accurate. to be sure of the time I would suggest you get in touch with the Service/Support rep at Oracle.
2 & 3) Oracle CRM On Demand provides a Migration Tool that can be used to migrate configuration changes from on POD to another. This can be between Staging --> Production and vice versa. Although, I would recommend that you go through the migration tool bookshelf and understand in detail the use of this tool. There are limited configurations that can be migrated. So it would be wise to create a plan based on what changes you are looking to migrate.
Note: Reports are copied on the Staging after the refresh only from Prod to Staging. This does not happen from Staging to Production. Reports will have to be created in Production and will be copied on Staging on a Quarterly basis (Check your refresh schedule)
4) You can use the migration tool to migrate configuration changes from a live environment into another instance.
The migration tool can be downloaded from:
Admin --> Import and Export Tools -->Oracle Migration Tool On Demand
You can download the Migration Tool Bookshelf here:

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.

Links on Staging Portal/Environment open Production Environment Pages

Brand New Admin Here.
I have been given the task to look into and fix the problem. In the Staging Portal/Environment there are several links ("payment" links, "menus", "detailed info" links) that open into Production instead of opening into the Staging
Portal.
1. location of link: Payment Links
https://contosobuild2.microsoft.com/finances/pages/deposits.aspx ---when you click it, it goes to ---->
https://www.officialpayment.com instead of https://staging.officialpayments.com
2. location of link: Teaching Scheduled Accessed Link
Teaching Scheduled Accessed from Staging Portal at https://contosobuild2.microsoft.com <-----This Opens Production url instead of staging url.
opens Production url (https://catalog.microsoft.com)
instead of Staging url (https://catalogtest2.microsoft.com)
3. location of link: Section Detailed Info
Accessed from Staging Portal at https://catalogtest2.microsoft.com <-----This Opens Production url instead of staging url.
opens Production url (https://catalog.microsoft.com/Lists/Sections/CustomDispForm.aspx?ID=2640&InitialTabId=Ribbon.Read)
instead of Staging url (https://catalogtest2.microsoft.com/Lists/Sections/CustomDispForm.aspx?ID=2640&InitialTabId=Ribbon.Read)
Please advise on how to change the links to the correct pathway, instead of routing to production environment, I want it to route to the correct location in the staging environment

changes will depend on where they exist in the environment... if it's in the content area of the page, you'd need to go into the pages' edit mode to make the change... if it's in the navigation menus, you'd need to go into the site's settings to change the
navigation links... if it's somewhere else, it'll depend.
In regards to #1, no, there is no part of SharePoint that will ever "know" of an environment, and automatically change things around... just as when a file is copied from one computer to another, the file will never change... similarly, when the
SharePoint databases are restored from one environment to another, they are ignorant to the difference, and their contents will never "automagically" change.
In regards to #2/3, scripting the changes is a large topic, and requires knowledge of a scripting and/or programming language (PowerShell, C#, etc). But whether changed by script or by hand, you will need to know where the changes exist in order to apply
the changes.

Migration from development to production environment for SAP Netweaver BI

All,
When I created a SAP Netweaver BI connection using BeX query in BW development environment, the system is defaulted to the BW development environment. Since the system textbox can't be modified to use a variable to point to production environment, can you share how you migrate your SWF file to production environment and ensure that it points to the BeX production query?
Thanks for sharing ....

After some more searching, I found this link: http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/f005a4ca-d4fd-2c10-adb8-8ec24383cb97

Oracle Installation for Production Environment.

Hi All,
We need to install Oracle in our production environment.
But since there is no DBA in our project, we need to do it by ourself.
I was just wondering what all steps and cautions I need to take to install it.
I was told just double click on Setup.exe :-) and that would suffice.
I am pretty sure its not that easy, atleast for a production environment.
We might need to set some params, may be.
We are at present using Oracle 10g Rel 1.
Any help/suggestion would be highly appreciated.
Thanks in Advance,
Tanuja

Well, it does more complicate than a double click of setup.exe, especially for a production database.
It's not only about the installation, also think about how do you want to create your database, the storage configuration, database configuration, and backup/recover strategy etc.
For installation, make sure you follow Oracle installation guide,
http://download.oracle.com/docs/html/B10130_02/toc.htm
And there are many other document here

Is standalone OC4J scalable for production environment

Hi,
Can our team use an OC4J standalone (a cluster perhaps) to deliver Web applications on a production environment?
The Web app comprises JSPs and Servlets only at the moment, in future we are considering EJBs and other J2EE components.
Will standalone OC4J scale well and is performance good enough for real world applications?
Thank you
Llies Meridja

OC4J standalone is the exact same code that is packaged inside of Oracle9iAS so will have the same characteristics of Oracle9iAS. The benchmarks that Oracle markets with the ECPerf and SpecJAppServer is same thing ... so you should have no issues with performance etc.
You might have seen that we recently released a Java Edition of Oracle9iAS, which focuses primarily on the Java features rather than the extended features like Portal, Wireless etc. If you look at this URL, you will see the feature set comparison of this minimal Java version compared to the other versions:
http://www.oracle.com/ip/deploy/ias/index.html?pkgsum.html
Further, as I understand it, as long as you license one of the Java Edition, Standard Edition or Enterprise Edition, you will be supported running the corresponding instance stand-alone instance of OC4J if you want to work outside of the out-of-the-box framework which Oracle9iAS provides for OC4J instances to run in.

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.

Topology for production environment

this question is related to production environment deployment and clustering.
we have 1 physical server where we have webcenter domain. this domain has 1 admin server and 1 managed server (custom web center portal managed server).
our plan is to deploy our application on this managed server.
this is no clustered environment and not recommended (no failover, no load balancing).
what shall we do?
shall we create another managed server (custom web center portal managed server) and deploy our application on these 2 managed servers? there will be a load balancer in front to take care of transferring request to both the servers...
what's your suggestions?
please note that i know specific answer will depend on NFR (user load, performance etc) but i am looking for general guidance and reference around same like -
how many managed server recommended?
what kind of topology recommended for web center application?
etc
thanks.

I'd recommend you to start with this document: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11035_01/wls100/cluster/overview.html as a lot of this question is related to Weblogic clustering than WebCenter.
Note that whilst clustering has many pros, it has also few cons; among those:
- you might require additional hardware/software, or used components (like filesystem) will have to have features that you don't need in a non-clustered environment
- though small, scaling does consume some resources (I've heard that WebCenter Content takes 1-2% of Solaris, but up-to 25% on Windows Servers!)
- it's always at least a bit more expensive
Therefore, you should not go for a cluster, because it's cool, but because you have damn good reasons for that (that you didn't mention!), stemming from SLAs, or requirements for Disaster Recovery.
You write that you have just one physical server, so you already have one potential single point of failure.
I think I've heard that Weblogic Server itself is capable of self-recovery; this means, that a server may go down (you will lose all the current sessions), but is capable of auto-recovery. If your users survive that from time to time they will lose uncommitted work, then maybe a need for clustering (HA) won't be that strong (you might also go just for tuning your Weblogic Server).
On the other hand, where clustering might be necessary, if you need to scale, especially, if you need cloud-like increase/decrease of resources. I doubt it is possible to say up-front how many servers is recommended, but you may tune this later - whilst going from 1 node to 2 is relatively a big leap, going from 2 to 3, or 3 to 4 is then quite easy.
Either way, I'd recommend you to be in sync with your app server admin.thanks jiri. this was helpful.
while i agree that any architectural decision should be justifiable to requirements but as far as my experience goes clustering is basic thing in any production environment... in case 1 managed server goes down, other can still serve requests...
i'll read link provided by you and ask specific questions if any...
thanks.

is it required to use any enterprsie Databse for production server deployment?
can anyone plz clarify me on the same
Thanks

If your not using entitlements and user's arn;t cusotmizing your desktop the just deploy the .portal file and then the portal framework doesn't go to the database.

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

APO-DP - Change in Calculation Type of Key Figure in Production Environment

Hi Team,
I wish to know how to make a change in Calculation Type of Key Figure in Production Environment. I wish to change calculation type from "P" to "S" and also wish to enter Disaggregated Key Figure.
Regards,
Tarun Jha

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

From your description, I know you want to set cookie value as httpOnly but it is not work.
Please try to add codes below to your global.asax file:
<SCRIPT language="C#" runat="server">
