Recommended deployment topologies

Hello,
I've read the "Recommended deployment topologies" for Oracle AS 10g Release 2. There's mentioned that HTTPS-to-HTTP protocol conversion should preferably be handled by a load balancer. Is there a document describing HOW TO configure Oracle AS to let the load balancer handle HTTPS-to-HTTP conversion?
Kind regards,
Philip

** Production Deployment Topologies ... **

Hi all,
I've been reading up on Coherence deployment topologies and would like some assistance on the best practice for deployment into a Production environment.
In production deployments, what are the recommended deployment best practices:
I understand that:
* Coherence Cache Clusters should be configured to run on a separate Multicast/Unicast addresses to avoid impact with any other applications.
However:
* Should Coherence Cache Servers deployed into their own JVM separate from the Applications that use them?
* Or, Should the Coherence Cache servers be configured to use the same JVM as the applications?
* In a multi-Container environment, where many containers hosting many different applications is possible, what is the best deployment topology?
* If Coherence Cache Servers and Applications are separated into different JVMs, how should they be configured to communicate with eachother (eg. Extend TCP Proxy??)
Any help would be appreciated.

Hello,
I suggest taking a look at this document (especially towards the bottom):
http://coherence.oracle.com/display/COH34UG/Best+Practices
In general we do recommend separate JVMs to host cache servers. As you mention, you have the option of having cache client JVMs either join the cluster or connect to a proxy using Extend TCP. Here are the pros and cons of each approach:
Cluster Membership
Pros: less network "hops" per operation, highest performance
Cons: for best results, requires clients to be "near" servers, preferably in the same subnet/switch; poorly tuned GC on clients can affect cluster
Extend
Pros: allows for more flexible network topology since it uses TCP (i.e. clients can be in a separate network or separated from storage nodes through a firewall), poorly tuned GC will not have as adverse an effect
Cons: requires more configuration, more "hops" per operation (although affinity with a properly tuned near cache can make this moot)
Thanks,
Patrick

Recommended Deployment Strategies for Building FlexStack

I have found the "Recommended deployment strategies for building flexstack"
These are the important items to consider when deploying FlexStack:
• It is recommended that the stack master not contain uplinks if it is possible to distribute the uplinks across other stack member
• When using only two uplinks in a stack of four members, put the uplinks on members that are not directly connected with FlexStack links. Directly connected members are those connected together with FlexStack connections. This is only relevant on FlexStack groups that contain four members.
– This recommendation is purely for stack bandwidth efficiency. Placing the FlexStack uplinks on directly connected members is less efficient on stack bandwidth. In a four-member stack, with members connected 1-2, 2-3, 3-4, 4-1, put the uplinks on members 2 and 4 or 1 and 3.
So For a Stack of 4 WS-C2960S If we use two links to create an etherchannel "Recommended deployment strategies for building flexstack" is to use an interface on Switch 2 and another on Switch 4 for the etherchannel to Core Switch.
If we want to create an etherchannel of four links, is the recommanded deployment strategies also to use two interfaces on Switch 2 and two interfaces on Switch 4?

Which activities are taking a long time? The ejbc/appc step? or the boot of the
server and deployment of all the beans? Makes a difference, because splitting
up a large number of beans in to multiple JAR files might help with the time it
takes to create each JAR file but wouldn't help with deployment time.
I've seen applications with 300+ entity beans, and while it is a little painful
to run ejbc/appc and deploy the resulting ejb file, it wasn't bad enough to invalidate
the approach or require multiple files. How long are steps taking now? How many
beans, and what hardware are you using for the various steps in the process?

if exist
an extrategy to control the growth of the jar, for example do not map

This is the only strategy in which we could think but we do not have

to decide which tables must to be mapped, only the ones that are not

Recommended Deployment Tool?

Hi, anyone know of a good deployment tool? Something which enables me to to manage Java applications amongst my client and middleware app server?
I always have difficulties when it comes to uploading new versions of software onto client computers. Its a messy and physical process.

10g AS: How to run 2 Midtiers in one infrastructure

We are trying to install two midtiers of Portal 10g (let�s call them internet and intranet) using one and the same infrastructure (infstr1).
So far we installed the 10g infstr1 using an existing Database placed on a different server. We also installed the internet-midtier of 10g Portal. The installation went, isntead of some minor adjustments, very well, thanks for the good programming.
Then we installed the intranet-midtier of 10g Portal on the same machine in a new oracle home. But now we are no more able to access the internet-midtier of 10g Portal.
My Question: In general, is it possible to install two midtiers on the same machine using the same infrastructure also installed on the same machine by having the database placed on a different server?
Regards,
Michael Kiefer-Berkmann

My Question: In general, is it possible to install two midtiers on the same machine using the same infrastructure also installed on the same machine by having the database placed on a different server?Though it is possible to install multiple midtiers against the same Portal repository, using these midtiers to access the same Portal with different site url's in not possible. Portal maintains the details of the webcache of the midtier in the repository for cache functionality. Anytime new Portal midtiers are added the new webcache entries would overwrite the existing entries (unless one selects not to configure Portal during the midtier install.) How to add new midtiers without overwriting the existing entries is detailed in the loadbalacer section (advanced Portal configuration chapter) of the Portal Configuration guide.
Multiple midtiers are added to the Portal for scalability and performance reasons and not for accessing it from multiple url's. These multiple midtiers are always frontended by loadbalancers. Please refer to the advanced configuration chapter of the Portal configuration guide which details how to setup reverse proxy, virtual hosts, load balancers based on your deployment requirements. iAS also provides a list of recommended deployment topologies in its documentation.

Error while deploying project from BCC

Hi Experts,
I am trying to deploy a project from BCC. While deploying i'm getting following error.
CONTAINER:atg.process.ProcessException; SOURCE:atg.epub.project.AssetLockException: Failed to approve the project TRE-2013413193927 (id: prj550001) for deployment. Unable to obtain exclusive locks to one or more assets. Use the Lock Conflicts page to determine which assets are locked by other projects.
I checked lock assets, but there was no assets.
Can any one help me to resolve this issue..
Thanks & Regards,
Murali

In previous project we deployed same assets, but we deleted that project from DB(tables). Now there is no project with these assets.Probably you deleted the project which was not completed and so it might have been holding some asset locks. You might want to check the corresponding data in avm_asset_lock table in CA schema. Look out for the data corresponding to project's workspace-id in this table, clear that and then try to resume your deployment.
"/atg/commerce/catalog/ProductCatalog" is configured for deployment to this target by another Content Administration cluster named "DEV_ENV". You must ensure that only one Content Administration cluster is responsible for each repository in a given target. Looks that something is mixed up in your deployment topology. May be it was deleted and reinitialized without clearing previous cluster data. Go to /atg/epub/DeploymentAgent in dyn/admin component browser and check the details like: agent's deployment state, deployment mode, current live data store, cluster status etc. Try removing stale cluster from DeploymentAgent using the delete option provided there. Also remove stale cluster data from Publishing Web agent (if present) by navigating to <ATG>/home/PublishingWebAgent/data and deleting a file which might be there with a name like cluster-stat-oldCluster.

Error while deploying project with external variables

Hi,
We are facing issue to deploy a project which contains external variables. In the process of publishing, we check true - Smart Publish. In the deployment process I get a screen where we define the Deployment Topology. On clicking Deploy button, the next screen we get an error which says:
Error(s) found while creating external variables for the following engines: <Engine_Name>: Login failed for the user '<DB User>'.
The DB User and the databases are created by the ALBPM Configuration wizard while configuring. We are able to login to SQL using the same userId and also can access the tables in the database. Also, we use the same DB userId for the Engine Databse too.
We are using ALBPM Enterrpise 5.7 MP3
WebLogic 9.2
SQL Server 2005
If anyone has resolved such issue earlier, we need your urgent help.
Please suggest
Thanks and Regards
Jayant

Hi,
When you initially ran the wizard to create the Engine tables you used a user and password that had been granted CREATE table authority for Sql Server.
When you publish and deploy a project with External Variables (project variables in 6.0), you are adding columns to one of the Engine's tables. When you get the error you're getting, this normally means that the database user you specified has not been granted ALTER privileges for the database tables.
This should be pretty easy for your DBA to check out and fix. Once they do the GRANT, do the publish and deploy once again.
Hope this helps,
Dan

Howto deploy a temporary exchange 2013 server for migration between two Office 365 accounts?

Objective:
We plan to migrate our office 365 from our current tennant (E3) to a new tennant (M) to drastically cut our annual costs for the same services, while retaining the mail and group memberships of all our users. This will involve installing an exchange server
to download and upload mail from the old tennant to the new tennant.
Background:
We are a longtime O365 customer, and have been a customer since before the "Midsize business" plans existed. There is no "cookie cutter" migration path from E3 to M. Microsoft currently recommends deploying an MS exchange server and off-boarding
the mailboxes from your E3 subscription and then On-boarding them to a new account under the M plan. As ridiculous as this is, this is indeed the path our company has decided to go. It isn't cool/fair that we're being shackled to the E plans (that are
vastly more expensive) when we're a small/midsize business that has been a longtime customer of O365, while new customers of equal size to us can expect to save over $4000 annually. The services (when compared) offered are nearly identical.
After calling MS support several times for guidance for this issue, I am advised that we should contact a 'partner' and ask for their support in doing this migration. We did as requested and were provided a quote to the tune of approximately $15,000 to do this
migration for us. Obviously this is unacceptable, and thus our business has decided to rely on my abilities to get it done. Again, involving an MS partner is not an option.
Environment:
1 MS AD domain:
- Original FQDN was @contoso.ca of this domain and UPNs were [email protected]
- UPN has been changed to [email protected] to allow for ADFS
- ADFS has been deployed and SSO works for all users with UPN [email protected]
- An "On-Prem exchange server" does not yet exist
1 O365 Account where main tennant FQDN is @corp.com
- There are 5 registered domains
-contoso.ca
-corp.com
- contoso.legacy.ca
-deprecated/will be deleted
-deprecated/will be deleted
- There are 40 E3 licenses, all using a @corp.com UPN
- There are 5 E1 licenses (we acknowledge that these will be upgraded to an M following the migration) that use the UPN contoso.legacy.ca
- No accounts currently use contoso.ca for email
- O365 was upgraded to 'the latest version' sometime in summer 2013.
Migration Plan (High Level):
Setup a local windows server (trial license)
Deploy an exchange 2013 server (trial license) on the aforementioned windows server http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/hh973395.aspx
  Prepare and deploy Dirsync Deployment
of Dirsync
Add exchange to office 365 and begin replicating the mailboxes from the cloud to the exchange server. Wait for synchronization to complete.
More information: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh534377(v=exchg.150).aspx
http://help.outlook.com/en-us/140/ff633682.aspx
Evaluate total time it took to sync data.
Time it takes to download data to exchange should be relatively similar to time it takes to restore mail to the new service.
Open a new office365 account under the M plan.
  Plan a 1 hour mail & contoso.ca domain login outage
temporarily change all user UPN's to match the new tennant
perform a dirsync to the new tennant
disable dirsync after all accounts have been auto-created/provisioned
re-establish UPN + mail access.
Plan a date and time for the cut over.
remove the exchange hybrid server from the old tennant.
Point MX records directly to the exchange server.
Cut office 365 service.
  After the 30 minutes ~ 1 hour 'mandatory' wait time imposed by MS to 'register' the domain with O365, add @corp.com to
the new tennant
fix all user UPN's in the cloud to match their real UPN's.
This can be done with powershell.
attach exchange hybrid server to new tennant
Point MX records to the new tennant
Migrate all data from the local exchange server to the cloud under the new plan.
Current progress (Lab):
I have created a sandbox (Lab with no internet access or connectivity to production) environment in VMware and cloned the following servers to it:
1x Domain Controller (DC) running windows server 2012 (named DC02)
1x DC running windows server 2008 R2 (named DC01)
1x windows server 2012 R2 - prepped with all the pre-requisites to install exchange 2013. (named EXC01)
Where I am stuck / Problem:
I have installed exchange on the server EXC01 in the lab environment using my account. I am a domain administrator in the contoso.ca domain, but my UPN is [email protected].
After the installation of exchange, I notice that my email address in Active Directory changed from @corp.com to @contoso.ca. By default, I do not see @corp.com to be an available email address to select as my email address, and changing it in AD does not resolve
the problem.
In the exchange portal, I found "Mail flow ---> Accepted Domains", and believe I should add @corp.com to the accepted domain list. Questions:
1) Must I add corp.com and the other domains that exist in office 365 to the local exchange before I go through with the hybrid wizard?
2) If I must add them to exchange, I am provided with three choices:
- Authoritative Domain
- Internal Relay Domain
- External Relay Domain
Given that the domain is currently in office365 and is authoritative there, which of these applies?
3) Most documentation I have found has been about a one way migration from on-prem to the cloud. I have had a hard time finding a step by step guide for cloud to local (new server) and then back to cloud. Does anyone here have any good documentation for this
process? Would love it if it took into consideration multiple UPN/email addresses.

Hi,
Here are my answers you can refer to:
1. Yes, we should select the primary SMTP domain for our organization and any other accepted domains that will be used in the hybrid deployment:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj200787(v=exchg.150).aspx
2. It depends on the usage of the specific accepted domain. And Exchange version has no influence.
To determine it, you can firstly check the function of the three types in the following article:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb124423(v=exchg.150).aspx
3. Here are some reference about the migration from on-premise Exchange server to Office 365:
http://www.msexchange.org/articles-tutorials/office-365/exchange-online/configuring-exchange-2013-hybrid-deployment-migrating-office-365-exchange-online-part1.html
Additionally, since the issue is related to Exchange online, I recommend you ask for help on our Exchange online forum to get more professional help:

If you have any question, please feel free to let me know.

Best practice deployment - Solaris source and target

Hi,
What is the recommended deployment guide for an ODI instance under Solaris. I have a sybase source and an Oracle target, both of which are on Solaris. I plan to put my ODI master and work repository on another Oracle DB on the solaris target machine. Now where does my agent sit, since my source and target are solaris ?? I plan to administer ODI from my windows clients but :-
Where and how do I configure my agent so that I can schedule scenarios. It would make most sense to be able to run the agent on my target solaris machine , is this possible ?? If not then do I have to have a separate windows server that is used to run the agent and schedule the jobs ??
Thanks for any assistance,
Brandon

thanks for the reply. I cant find anything in the installation guide about Solaris specifically but it mentions to follow the instructions for "Installing the Java Agent on iSeries and AS/400" where the download o/s is not supported.
So it seems I just need make some directories on the solaris host and to manually copy files into s these directories and as long as java sdk/runtime is there I can use the shell scripts (eg. agentshceduler.sh ) to start and stop the agent.
So my question I guess is since the os supported downloads are only windows and Linux, where do I copy the files from, the Linux ones ?? Is it right to say that since these are java programs I should be able to copy the Linux ones and use them under Solaris ??
I dont have the Solaris environment at hand to test this just yet.... hence the questions....
thanks again

Independence of Deployment Platform?

I understand that JDeveloper has great flexibility in switching deployment platforms between the Oracle CORBA, VisiBroker CORBA, and EJB. But I am wondering why it is not the case for deployment onto OAS as an EJB? According to the online help, I have to generate a separate project, put in my custom create() code to initialize the database connection, and then deploy the manually written EJB to the OAS. Or did I miss something in the online help that shows how to deploy app modules as an EJB onto OAS as easily as deploying onto other 3 platforms (for deploying onto the other 3 platforms, I don't need to add/modify any code for deployment)?

So you mean that I have to create wrapper >EJBs outside of the app modules and >deploy those wrappers onto OAS? There is >no other way around until the next release >of JDeveloper is released?Yes. And if you are using visual clients then I'd recommend deploying the middle-tier on JServer or VisiBroker till JDev 3.1 comes out.

Arun

Wireless Deployment question

Good Morning,
I am in need of some help. We are looking to deploy wireless to one of our retail locations. The site is currently under remodel so the time is now to put in a better solution.
We currently have Cisco Small Business AP541n deployed and we lose connectivity on our iDevices when they go into the kitchen area. The kitchen area is surrounded by refrigerators and we have stainless steel between the serving area and the kitchen. We ASLO have a Planar video wall (Cat 6 shielded is powering the video panels). Well this stuff seems to be causing interference but i dont have any numbers around that.
I dont have any tools to perform a WLAN survey prior to redeploying wireless. Well my question is:
The area is rougly 800 - 900 square feet and i was thinking of installing two 3602 clean air AP's to combat what i can only assume is heavy interference and noise. Would it cause issues with 2 AP's that close together?
Is this a recommended deployment or should I have a single AP with clean air trying to work best in that environment. Oh the environment is in a major (like the largest) metropolitan area in the world.

If your going to go with 3 you might want to look at going with four. Only reason being if your using RRM the TPC Alogrithm uses the 3rd highest neighbor to set levels. So a total of 4 AP's needed. Odd justification to put up yet another AP but figured I'd throw it out there for you to think about.
Transmit Power Control Algorithm
The TPC algorithm, run at a fixed ten minute interval by default, is used by the RF Group Leader to determine the APs’ RF proximities and adjust each band’s transmit power level lower to limit excessive cell overlap and co-channel interference.
Note: The TPC algorithm is only responsible for turning power levels down. The increase of transmission power is a part of the Coverage Hole Detection and Correction algorithm’s function, which is explained in the subsequent section.
Each AP reports an RSSI-ordered list of all neighboring APs and, provided an AP has three or more neighboring APs (for TPC to work, you must have a minimum of 4 APs), the RF Group Leader will apply the TPC algorithm on a per-band, per-AP basis to adjust AP power transmit levels downward such that the third loudest neighbor AP will then be heard at a signal level of -70dBm (default value or what the configured value is) or lower and the TCP hysteresis condition is satisfied. Therefore, the TCP goes through these stages which decide if a transmit power change is necessary:
Determine if there is a third neighbor, and if that third neighbor is above the transmit power control threshold.
Determine the transmit power using this equation: Tx_Max for given AP + (Tx power control thresh – RSSI of 3rd highest neighbor above the threshold).
Compare the calculation from step two with the current Tx power level and verify if it exceeds the TPC hysteresis.
If Tx power needs to be turned down: TPC hysteresis of at least 6dBm must be met. OR
If Tx power needs to be increased: TPC hysteresis of 3dBm must be met.
An example of the logic used in the TPC algorithm can be found in the Transmit Power Control Algorithm Workflow Examplesection.

Websphere 5.0 Deployment

After following closely the prescribed steps for deploying an EJB module on Websphere, I received the following error:
Error executing deployment: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError. Error is com/ibm/ejs/models/base/extensions/ejbext/meta/impl/MetaBeanInternationalizationImpl.

at com.ibm.ejs.models.base.extensions.ejbext.impl.EjbextPackageImpl.getBeanInternationalization(EjbextPackageImpl.java:1680)
I suspect this has something to do with classloading/JRE's, as my code seems good and I followed the recommended deployment steps closely. So far I haven't seen any useful postings on this topic. I would greatly appreciate your help!
Thanks,
Peter

FYI, I attempted to create and deploy an extremely simple bean (with only a single hello world method implementation, and the result was identical. This eliminates the possibility that the code or dependent libraries are at fault, and suggests that the problem lies either with Websphere itself or the specific steps we are taking...

Deploy Office 2013 ProPlus Updates SCCM App-V

Hi,
I'm trying App-V and building the Office 2013 Pro Plus package worked fine, and to stop slow starting of applications I am (at the moment) looking at deploying App-V packages to stations during OSD in SCCM 2012 R2. Deploying the applications is working
great this way, except I can't find any information on how to deploy office updates to the App-V packages as they are released.
Usually with Office deployed the traditional way office updates are deployed through Software updates in SCCM. But this doesn't happen when Office is deployed as an App-V package. I don't really want to "stream" the packages to the
internal stations. Is there a way to automatically send out the updates to update the App-V office package that has been deployed to stations using the Install Application step of an SCCM OSD Task Sequence? (Preferably Automated).
Thanks,
Andy

As stated, you just have to generate and deploy a new Office package. Thankfully the client is clever enough to only stream down the blocks that have changed so you don't have to wait for users to re-download the entire package in order to apply the update!
Deploying Office as App-V is fine... until you come across an application that integrates with Office but is incompatible with App-V. Also managing plugins with connection groups is difficult. I always recommend deploying Office locally unless you have good
reasons to do otherwise.

How to deploy rpt chnges to end users using Windows Installer?

We are in ISV and we develop an integrated suite of business management applications. We use Crystal Reports extensively in these applications. We currently deploy 717 rpt files with our suite.
Because rpt files are not versioned, we are having problems deploying rpt changes to our end users using Windows Installer. Windows Installer assumes that non-versioned files contain user data, so if the file exists on the users system, the file is never over written, even if the file included in the MSI is newer than the file on the users system.
Is it possible to version .rpt files? How do you recommend deploying these files so that if we change a few of then, we will be able to deploy the changes to our end users.
Thanks,
Todd

Hi, Todd;
There is a Revision Number property in a report that is updated when any changes are made. You can access this via the File | Properties screen, but I am not sure if you can use it in an installer.

Jonathan
