Spawn setting in production environment

Has anyone heard or been told by oracle analyst that Oracle doesn't support spawn setting in production environment?
Answer that I received was enabling spawn can be flaky. The domain may easily hang without explanation and it's always been like that, so we don't support spawn in production.
We have 16 GB of memory
[PSAPPSRV]
Min 10
Max 25
Spawn Threshold=1,30:2,10
According peopletools performance guideline, CRM and HRMS use about 100-150 MB per application server process. We have lots of customization, so I will just bump it up to 250MB. If we are to disable spawn by setting min = max to 25, this means the app server process will constantly use at least 6GB of memory. We should still be able to avoid the memory issue, right? Unless my calculation is wrong...
I would like to hear more opinion and advice here.

Working with Test/Production environment as application sets

Hi to all,
does anyone here works with a Test/Production environment system?
We've got a single system (2 machines, one for the DB server, one for BPC), and we were thinking on making 2 application sets: Production and Test. While most of the things is easy to migrate from one system to the other one (since almost all of them are files), what worries me a bit are dimensions and some configurations of the application, security, and so on...
Has anyone experience about it? Would you suggest it?
Thanks
Daniele

Hi Daniele,
As rightly suggested, duplicating an appset can be easily done on 2 different physical systems. In the source, you run the server manager and take the backup of your appset. Then copy the back up folder from source to the destination through the network. Again use server manager to restore the appset from the backup folder. With this process, everything will be migrated and you dont have to worry about anything.
The point of worry is, lets say you have moved everything to the PROD and then you continue doing development in DEV and then you want to move these changes also. Now, again taking backup and restoring will not be the right option because by now, there might be some PROD data available. and if you restore again, then all that data will be lost. So, after the first restore, whatever you are doing in DEV, keep a note of all that. So, that the same thing can be replicated in the PROD system.
Hope this helps.

Set a Hard Currency, after the company is in Production environment

Dear experts,
Please your help to solve the question: Does somebody knows what happen if I try to set a Hard Currency, through OB22 transaction, after the company is in production environment? Is it possible?
The production system only have one local currecy.
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Aguinaldo Masetto

Hello Mauri,
First of all thank you for the prompt answer.
I tried to check the SAP Note 39919 as you suggested, but I faced an error message:
"The requested SAP Note is either in reworking or is released internally only".
Can you please post the texts of the SAP Note 39919 into this Question?
Thanks in advance,

IPM 11 g production environment set up query.

Hi,
We need to install IPM 11g. For Production environment we want individual managed server wiz. soa_server1, UCM_server1 and IPM_server1 to be installed on different machines. However such an approach is not discussed in any of the documents of ecm. So my query here is whether such an approach is possible or not & if it's possible then which document mentions so. Do i need to to follow weblogic admin guide?

Hi Nico,
if you want a local test/development setup of Oracle why don't you just install Oracle 11gR2 XE (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/products/express-edition/downloads/index.html) ?
If you install this you get a database, APEX (4.1), client etc all in one install, this includes a webserver (EPG) on port 8080 without having to configure anything. It's a simple next-next-next installation without much configuration.
If you would like to seperate database and software you can always do this later when you understand the concepts of database/control files etc.
If you would like to upgrade to APEX 4.2 you can download this afterwards and easily install this by running two scripts in SQL*Plus ( apexins.sql and apxldimg.sql ), just check the apex 4.2 installtion guid section EPG for this.
Regards
Bas
b.t.w. If you're running windows 7 - 64 bits just use the 32 bits XE for windows, might get some warnings but you should be able to install and run, good enough for test/dev

Hi,
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">
protected void Session_Start(Object sender, EventArgs e)
try
if (Request.IsSecureConnection == true)
                Response.Cookies ["ASP.NET_SessionId"].Secure = true;
catch (Exception)
</SCRIPT>

Adf security misbehaving in production environment

Hi all,
I am using jdev 11.1.2.2 and weblogic 10.3.6
I have implemented adf security from based authentication in my web application and i have used sql authenticator for authentication.
In my integrated WLS everything works fine . but in the production WLS what is happening is when the user access a Protected Page without login it navigates to the protected page instead of navigating him to the login page. In the integrated WLS this happens normally .
Has anyone faced this issue before ? What can be wrong ?

Hi Rakesh,
Make sure you have migrated the policy store to the production server. When Weblogic Server is running in production mode, automatic credential overwrite is not allowed. From the developer's guide:
When the target server is configured for production mode, you typically handle the migration task outside of JDeveloper using tools like Oracle Enterprise Manager. For details about using tools outside of JDeveloper to migrate the policy store to the domain-level in a production environment, see the Oracle Containers for J2EE Security Guide. Note that Oracle WebLogic Server running in production mode does not support the overwriting of system credentials under any circumstances.http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E26098_01/web.1112/e16182/adding_security.htm#CDDGFDFH

OBIEE Production Environment - Should it be made Private or Public?

I am interested to know whats the best practice for OBIEE Production environment's firewall setup? I feel it should be behind the firewall on private space, but i am having to convince my networking folks to make it private instead of public? But i dont know if this opens a different set of issues. In reality, OBI PRD should only be accessed by internal staff and not outsiders.
Could someone provide any supporting documentation related to this topic?
Thanks!

See this PDF:
http://www.peakindicators.com/media_pi/BI+EE+Architectures+and+Sizing.pdf
The safest deployment would be to have the BI Server in your intranet, your Presentation Services Plug-In in the DMZ and a firewall between the two.

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.

Setting up test environment for EBS

Hi all !
We have r12 setup on RHEL 5.7 servers with SAN storage and 11.1.0.7 database. What are the best practices for setting up test environment for testing patches, fixes, etc. ? Should the test env be an exact replica of the production setup ? What if we can no more get the same hardware as our prod env now (due to technology enhancements from the vendors, etc.) ?
Thanks in advance !

Vinod

Regards,
VinodYour TEST/Patch instance does not necessarily need to match your production in terms of hardware specs. However, you need to make sure you are running on the same OS and updates. UAT instance is the one that needs to be running on a hardware which is identical (or very close) to production.

Creating process chains in production environment..

Hi,
We are planning to create process chains in our project , can we directly create process chains in the production environment? the data and the set up is very very small here so the number of chains and processess are very less , is it ok if we create the process chains in Production environemnt directly, or we need to create in development and transport it to production (note: there is no quality instance for BW in our project).
Solicit your help!!
Regards
Srinivas

Hi ,
Best practice would be to create PC in DEV and move it to PRD .
Actually what happens in real time is sometimes your data mismatch happens or some other data loading activity you are doing in PRD system . So you need the freedom of creating DTP or Infopackage directly in PRD system . otherwise it would be a time consuming process to make it from DEV to PRD .
Similarly when you are Infopackages & DTPs in PRD environment, there is a chance that your process chain might also be changed . So yes we can create it in PRD system .
Kind Regards,

Client variables storage in production environment?

Right now we are using Registry to store client variables in production environment, will changing it to Database increase the performance? or what i heard from my colleague is that In production environment , using Database for client storage is not advisable! how true is his statement.

His statement is completely wrong. The docs talk about this here: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/ColdFusion/9.0/Developing/WSc3ff6d0ea77859461172e0811cbec0c35c -7fd5.html
Specifically, read this paragraph from that reference:
Choosing a client variable storage method
By default, ColdFusion stores client variables in the Registry. In most cases, however, it is more appropriate to store the information as client cookies or in a SQL database.
The ColdFusion Administrator Client Variables page controls the default client variable location. You can override the default location by specifying a This.clientStorage value in Application.cfc or by setting the clientStorage attribute in thecfapplication tag.
You can specify the following values for the client storage method:
Registry (default). Client variables are stored under the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ SOFTWARE\Macromedia\ColdFusion\CurrentVersion\Clients.
Name of a data source configured in ColdFusion Administrator
Cookie
Generally, it is most efficient to store client variables in a database. Although the Registry option is the default, the Registry has significant limitations for client data storage. The Registry cannot be used in clustered systems and its use for client variables on UNIX is not supported in ColdFusion.

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

SMTP Settings in production environment

Hi,
This is my first project in BPM. I want to know the way how - SMTP settings are managed in Production environment. My concern is if I want to deploy my proces on to some other engine, is there any way so that I do not need to manually set the SMTP settings for new engine.
Thanks & Regarsd,
Sujata

I created external resource for SMTP server, which gets deployed with process & can be changed from Enterprise. I used this external resource while sending an email from my process.

Directly change in production environment.....

Hi Experts,
     Hope you are well.
     Could you please share that which changes can we make directly in production environment at the configuration level, without create transport request.
     Please share with me the changes list in production environment.
Thanking for your understanding.
Thanks & Regards
Rajesh

Hello,
As per best practices, any configuration change should go through transport process and all master data changes should be done directly in production.
Some examples of changes that can be done directly are.
1. Exchange rates
2. Sets used in validation/substitution (GS01/GS02)
3. All condition records
4. Customer/vendor/GL/Asset/cost center/cost element master data
5. Tax percentages
There are many more follows... Tell us your exact requirement. Then we can guide you better.
Thanks,

OBIEE 11.1.1.6 Production Environment on AIX

Hi Friends
Consultant from Oracle installed OBIEE on three AIX machines.One is database server,web logic and OBIEE server installed on one machine, Informatica and DAC server installed on one machine.Ii is our Dev environment,My boss is planning for Production environment.
To build production environment, Do we have to start the installation process from the beginning or is there anyway we can copy from existing Dev environment
Please suggest
Thanks,

The process is basically setting up a Secure Shell (SSH) and then using RCP or SCP to copy files over. Again, details can come from a System Administration expert. Also, you may need to change some things around once the OBIEE components are moved to a new server.
