Recommendations for Server Layout

Hello Folks,
We currently have the Oracle 9i app server and since it has the infrastructure database in the same machine the filesystems are laid out according to the OFA (Optimal Flexible Architecture) guidelines. When I installed the Weblogic server I noticed that it just asks for one directory and the configuration is all in the files. So, assuming that I install the Weblogic Server + Oracle's Identity Management + Weblogic Portal should I just create one filesystem, e.g. /appserver for all these products or do you have some other recommendations? If, instead of Weblogic Portal I install the Oracle WebCenter Suite would your recommendations change? I just would like to plan out our server well before I do a full install and start developing portlets on it.
Thanks,
gb

Recommendations for server setup

I have two clients that are considering installing an Apple server. I've looked for, but apparently have missed, recommendations as to the hardware required for any given number of users on the network. One is a three person shop, which I assume a Mini will be plenty, but the other will have between 40 and 60. I don't want to steer them to an XServe when a Mac Pro will work, nor do I want to leave them underpowered and in need of an upgrade.
Any help in pointing me to the correct documentation or advice will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I appreciate the input, but I think I may not have provided enough details. The larger client, the 40 to 60 user one, is a new client. I'm not sure as to what their needs are as I haven't had the opportunity to interview them in any detail. Based on what little they've said, I think Snow Leopard may be a good fit for them, that's why I'm looking to get more information, but I'm not even sure about that yet. It's a new company in a new building, so I need to dig deeper prior to making any recommendations. I have the necessary information for MS and *nix installations, along with over 14 years experience with each. But I have nothing in the way of documentation for OS X Server, and little experience beyond small installations in mixed environments. I don't want to assume, for example, that Postfix running on OS X has exactly the same behavior it does when running on *nix. While it may be the same, I want to see the documentation to prove it to me.
I'm not looking someone to say that I need a Mac Pro with 4GB of RAM and that will handle exactly 42 users and be adequate for the next 3.24 years. That's not what I intended to ask. Nor am I looking or someone to provide a guess at their end user's needs or network habits, I can get that information myself as I get more familiar with the client. Instead, I'm looking for documentation or advice as to where to look so that I can determine what's necessary. Once I have the documentation, I can formulate, based on my experience, a hopefully solid solution to their server needs. Again, I don't want to blindly recommend a XServer when a Mac Pro will be more than adequate. I'm comfortable with the Mini for the smaller client. I've worked with them for years and a Mini would be an upgrade to what they have now. It's just a matter of convincing them to spend the money. The larger client has way too may variables for me to just guess, that's why I want to review any available documentation that's more in depth than just the standard system requirements. I've Googled for several hours, but I just can't seem to find anything that goes beyond the basics.
Thanks again for the input, I guess I'll keep looking.

Recommendations for server rack temp monitoring?

Our server room isn't large, we only have one rack with two Xserves, an Xserve RAID and a few other things. But temperature is obviously a concern and I worry about the day when the portable AC unit kicks the bucket and I'm away from the office.
Does anyone have recommendations some kind of temp monitoring device with email notifications, maybe web monitoring?

At work, we use a rack-mount Senturion Environment Monitor, it monitors the temp, humidity, etc. It can send SMS and email alerts, and you can monitor it on the web, it just needs power and a network connection. We got it when our AC actually did kick the bucket and 50 servers overheated. :-/

Backup routines for server

Hi
I'm finding it hard to understand leopard server and time machine. I have noted that Time Machine is not recommended for "advanced servers", but I have also noted that in the documentation for ical server apple states the following
"The Mac OS C v10.5 Time Machine feature is not recommended for server file and system backup of advanced configuration servers"
Since english is not my native language I'm led to wonder if that line exclusively refers to "advanced configuration servers"? If so can i draw the conclusion that apple recommends Time Machine for other configurations than advanced server? And finally, what is it about "advanced server" that makes it unsuitable for Time Machine? If I have time machine set to advanced server but only have standard server services activated why should that be a problem?
I understand that the forum primarily deals with "problems" and that one rarely sees posts saying things work. That being said, are there many that successfully use Time Machine for their server?
Thanks

Hi
Just an opinion but if you are not using the Mail Service then I don't see why not? I've a feeling its safe to use even if the Server is an OD Master. However if all you want are standard File Services then you should be able to configure a sharepoint for Time Machine backup and point clients to it:
http://lists.apple.com/archives/macos-x-server/2007/Dec/msg00051.html
Possibly the three types of Server 'Roles' may be confusing people? Standard does not necessarily mean 'Simple'. If you want 'Simple' select Advanced. If all you want is AFP or SMB or both, enable the Services (no need for DNS) and you are done. Only Advanced gives you control over all the services. Yes the system log will bleat 'DNS host name not found run repair utility etc' every few seconds but it won't stop the server from working. As an added 'bonus' selecting Authentication Method to Standard (PasswordServer) should stop AFP disconnects as reported on these forums.

Hardware sizing recommendations for B2B Server

My customer Welch Foods Inc. is on 11i Oracle eBusiness Suite and is planning to uptake the latest 1Sync integration features in the PIM product. For out-of-box AS2 connectivity with 1Sync - they are planning to use Oracle B2B Integration Server 10.1.2.3.
They have an average transaction volume of 30 transactions per month. One time - initial load of 20,000 transactions.
Based on the above estimates, they are looking for hardware sizing recommendations for the B2B server.
Your assistance is much appreciated.
Asmi Maharishi
SDM for Welch Foods.

Thanks for your reply!
Here are the responses to your queries:
1. Is B2B instance going to run alone in a box
Yes, B2B instance will run alone on a box.2. what will be the size of message
Messages can be anywhere from 5-20 KB3. how many messages will be part of a transaction.
It should be 2 - Registration and publication. But sometimes it depends on how successful the first “registration” goes. Typically we get one or two errors that the users go into PLM, correct and re-send.However, Looking at your current requirement, 30 transaction per month, we can easily address in a 4 GB machine itself.
Additionally, Oracle B2B supports 10+ messages per second in 32GB, 4 processor machine.
Memory suggested above is 4GB, does that take into account memory used by the 10G App server foot print or this is only to take care of messages? Also, how many Processors (Risk IBM) will be needed?

The Server Core installation option is recommended for servers running Hyper-V

Hi,
I installed Hyper-V Server 2008 R2 on my machine and upon running BPA it says that
The Server Core installation option is recommended for servers running Hyper-V
I don't understand what it meant by re-installing hyper-v core instead of the full installation. My Hyper-v is a stand-alone Hyper-V Server 2008 R2 that is the free one.
Thanks!

What ideal Win Server and Hardware are recommended for 11g DBs

What best Win Server and Hardware are recommended for 11g DBs?
- Processor
- Memory
- Storage
- Network
- Etc...
Following is the scenario:
- The server will be for development and test DBs
- More than one databases will be installed each for each project
- Maximum 4 databases will be accessed each time
- Maximum DB size for each DB will be in couple of GBs.

Which version of 11g ? For 11gR2, see the requirements here - http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/install.112/e16773/reqs.htm#i1011417
Any server that exceeds these requirement will suffice. Obviously the more the number of processors, the faster the processors, the more the RAM, the more the disk etc etc, the better.

Hardware recommendations for Oracle server

I'm looking for hardware recommendations for a new Oracle database server. I'd like to have Active/Passive redundancy, so I imagine an external storage device is necessary. Does Oracle publish any hardware recommendations based on budget? I'm not sure what our budget would be but I can assume two database servers and a single external storage device in the $20k range.

Oracle does not publish any recommendations at all.
If they did, the recommendations would be based on load and expected performance characteristics, not based on budget.
Your best bet is to chose a vendor (Sun, IBM, HP, Dell) and ask them. Each of those vendors has a group that specializes in answering this kind of question.

Recomendation for calendar app for server/sharing

I'm looking to deploy a shared calendar for my workgroup at the office, on our server.
Ideally I would like this to be simple to setup, and am really looking for something with a web based client.
I've come across quite a few calender server apps but they require client software to communicate with the server.
found a few that have built in web clients but the setup seems fairly complex.
I suppose complex setup is okay but would still like recommendations for a good one so i'm not wasting time getting it setup if it sucks.
something like google calendar would be perfect but I want to run it on my (arch) server and not the interwebz.
As far as for what we plan to do with it would be a single, or possibly 2 or 3 shared calendars. I would like to have logins for each user and give them either read only or change access to the calendar. I dont need individual calendars for each user. Just a couple of global shared ones that everyone can update. Currently running lighttpd but I can change to apache if need be.
any ideas appreciated

Not working out very well im afraid
I did find a few and played around with them but really didnt find anything that did what I wanted.
http://www.bedework.org/bedework/
setup seemed a bit complicated and it was also very much targeted at universities. though I didnt play around with it very long, might be promising if you invest some time into it...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hula_%28software%29
this project is dead. It works. You can build it, but the interface is horrible and it doesnt seem very usable or user friendly.
http://www.zimbra.com/community/downloads.html
This is email and everything. It has a calendar, but its pretty heavy to run this if you just want a calendar app.
http://bongo-project.org/Main_Page
This one is very promising. I got wonderful support from the devs on irc when I ran into install issues. Unfortunately the gui hasnt been fully developed it seems. The calendar comes up fine but there is no interface to add appointments, etc. at least that I could see. I was a bit discourced and didnt go back to the devs to get more info...
maybe you will have better luck than I did...

What are Best Practice Recommendations for Java EE 7 Property File Configuration?

Where does application configuration belong in modern Java EE applications? What best practice(s) recommendations do people have?
By application configuration, I mean settings like connectivity settings to services on other boxes, including external ones (e.g. Twitter and our internal Cassandra servers...for things such as hostnames, credentials, retry attempts) as well as those relating business logic (things that one might be tempted to store as constants in classes, e.g. days for something to expire, etc).
Assumptions:
We are deploying to a Java EE 7 server (Wildfly 8.1) using a single EAR file, which contains multiple wars and one ejb-jar.
We will be deploying to a variety of environments: Unit testing, local dev installs, cloud based infrastructure for UAT, Stress testing and Production environments. **Many of our properties will vary with each of these environments.**
We are not opposed to coupling property configuration to a DI framework if that is the best practice people recommend.
All of this is for new development, so we don't have to comply with legacy requirements or restrictions. We're very focused on the current, modern best practices.
Does configuration belong inside or outside of an EAR?
If outside of an EAR, where and how best to reliably access them?
If inside of an EAR we can store it anywhere in the classpath to ease access during execution. But we'd have to re-assemble (and maybe re-build) with each configuration change. And since we'll have multiple environments, we'd need a means to differentiate the files within the EAR. I see two options here:
Utilize expected file names (e.g. cassandra.properties) and then build multiple environment specific EARs (eg. appxyz-PROD.ear).
Build one EAR (eg. appxyz.ear) and put all of our various environment configuration files inside it, appending an environment variable to each config file name (eg cassandra-PROD.properties). And of course adding an environment variable (to the vm or otherwise), so that the code will know which file to pickup.
What are the best practices people can recommend for solving this common challenge?
Thanks.

HI Bob,
As sometimes when you create a model using a local wsdl file then instead of refering to URL mentioned in wsdl file it refers to say, "C:\temp" folder from where you picked up that file. you can check target address of logical port. Due to this when you deploy application on server it try to search it in "c:\temp" path instead of it path specified at soap:address location in wsdl file.
Best way is re-import your Adaptive Web Services model using the URL specified in wsdl file as soap:address location.
like http://<IP>:<PORT>/XISOAPAdapter/MessageServlet?channel<xirequest>
or you can ask you XI developer to give url for webservice and username password of server

"Use presets for responsive layout" not working in Chrome

I am building a responsive website. I am going to have parts of the website animated using Edge Animate. I will make the animation and then insert it into a div in the responsive website I am building.
The Adobe Edge animation has a width of 100%, so that it resizes according to the area that it occupies the full width of the div no matter how wide that div may be in px.
It is all working fine, but:
I have an image in the Edge animation that is center aligned. It must stay center aligned no matter what width the animation ends up being.
Within Adobe Edge, in Properties, in Position and Size, there is a option where, if you hover your mouse cursor over the top right button a tool tip says "Use presets for responsive layout"
With the image on the stage selected, I can click on the "Use presets for responsive layout" button and then choose "Centre background Image".
It works perfectly in all browsers accept Chrome (even IE is playing ball this time). In chrome the width of the image stretches out as the div stretches out..
The "Centre background Image" setting says that it won't scale the image. But in Chrome it does.
What can I do to "tell" Edge Animate to center the image but not scale it in the Chrome browser?
I can see that in the image properties it is set to Background image x axis and y axis 50%. And the width is set to pixels. But in Chrome, the image stretches.
If you go to http://www.brainstormadvertising.co.uk/demo/services.html you will see what I mean. The circle image is centering BUT stretching in chrome browsers while centering nicely and NOT stretching in other browsers.

Thank you for your reply Josh. But the point of this setting in Edge Animate is that you can set it up that the background image is center aligned and does not scale. Yet it produces code that gives the width as 21.72%.
A little further along I see background-size: 48px; . This is correct.
So all the browers are reading background-size: 48px; as the scale measurement but Chrome is reading the width only, not the background-width. So this "Use presets for responsive layout" works in all browsers except chrome.
I don't know how to change that code after the artwork has been published. I can see the code using Firebug, but where do I change it in my code on my computer before uploading to the server?
I have reported this bug to Adobe.
Please see the attachment. You can see where all the settings are made and where I am getting a problem.

Recommendations for Help Desk (issue tracking) program for Mac OS

Hello all
Any recommendations for a help desk software to be mainly used for issue tracking/ticket management applications for Mac OS?
I prefer for the app to run local on the Mac so no web or server software.
Thank you

I also use CS5 (Design Suite) on a Mac. When I upgraded to Lion, Illustrator did not crash for me, but it (and Photoshop) was acting squirrelly and some of the features did not work at all. After six weeks, I reformatted my hard drive and reinstalled Snow Leopard. Now everything works perfectly.
The other thing I did was to partition my hard drive so that I can reinstall Lion on the new partition. That way, I can run either operating system and run application programs on the OS that is most appropriate for it. I have no problems moving files between the partitions.
Not the most attractive solution, but I am very satisfied. Just my two cents...!
Good luck!
