I would recommend that you upgrade to the latest iAS version. OAS is an older release of the product. iAS is being developed, patched and enhanced dramatically and is the strategic middle tier platform for Oracle going forward.

Explicit commit during a long-running transaction in EclipseLink

Hi,
I am currently upgrading a J2EE application from OAS with Toplink Essentials to WL 10.3.3 with Eclipselink and have the following issue with transactions.
The application was developed to have long-running transactions for business reasons in specific scenarios. However, some other queries must be created and committed along the way to make sure that we have this specific data in the database before the final commit. This call (and subsequent code) is in an EJB method that has the "@TransactionAttribute(TransactionAttributeType.REQUIRED)" defined on it. Taking this out gives me the same behaviour.
The application has the following implementation of the process, which fails:
Code
EntityManager em = PersistenceUtil.createEntityManager();
em.getTransaction().begin();
PersistenceUtil.saveOrUpdate(em,folder);
em.getTransaction().commit(); --->>>>FAILS HERE
Error
javax.ejb.EJBTransactionRolledbackException: EJB Exception: : javax.persistence.RollbackException: Exception [EclipseLink-4002] (Eclipse Persistence Services - 2.0.2.v20100323-r6872): org.eclipse.persistence.exceptions.DatabaseException Internal Exception: java.sql.SQLException: Cannot call Connection.rollback in distributed transaction. Transaction Manager will commit the resource manager when the distributed transaction is committed.
So I tried the following to see if it would work, but I believe that the transaction end and anything after that will fail since it requires a transaction to continue
PersistenceUtil.getUnitOfWork().writeChanges();
PersistenceUtil.getUnitOfWork().commit();
Error
javax.persistence.TransactionRequiredException: joinTransaction has been called on a resource-local EntityManager which is unable to register for a JTA transaction.
Can anyone help me as to how to commit a transaction within the long running transaction in this environment? I also want to be sure that the long-running transaction does not fail or is not stopped along the way.
Thanking you in advance

You seem to be using JTA, so you cannot use JPA transactions, you must defined your transaction in JTA, such as in your SessionBean.
When using JTA you should never use,
em.getTransaction().begin();
If you do not want to use JTA, then you need to set your persistence unit to be RESOURCE_LOCAL in your persistence.xml.
Also you need to ensure you use a non-jta enabled DataSource.

OracleAS 10.1.2 Patchset List

Dear all,
Is there any way I can find a list of all patchsets of Oracle Application Server 10.1.2? I know the newest is 10.1.2.3 but not sure if a newer one has been released.
In addition, must I apply all the patchsets no matter I use the features or not? And where can I find the features of each patch?
Thank you.
Rayyen

There are only three patch sets released yet for OAS 10g family. The latest one is 10.1.2.3.
PatchSets do not introduce new features. Newer releases of full version software brings in new features. PatchSets are a cumulative collection of patch fixes to bugs found in a release.
It is generally advisable to use the latest patch set.
- One benefit is that you get fixes of most of the bugs.
- Another advantage comes in upgrades. Generally, most of the testing for upgrade processes and scripts for OAS takes place from the latest patchset level to the newer versions. For instance, to move to FMW11g from OAS 10g, most extensive testing would be done for the upgraded 10.1.2.3 OAS.
That is why in all new SRs, Oracle Support would strongly suggest you to move to the latest patch set version.
For latest patches and patch sets for OAS 10g R2, check the following article on MOS/Metalink.
Oracle Application Server 10g Release 2 (10.1.2) Support Status and Alerts \[ID 329361.1\]
hope that helps!

Hiding url

We are in the process of upgrading a mod_plsql application from OAS 4.0.8 to 9.0.4.0.1. To start the application a user enters http://barra:7777/PIRS in a browser which displays an initial screen with http://barra:7777/PIRS/web_pkg.p_login as the resolved url.
I would like the url displayed to not have package names, ports, and if possible not even the server name. How can this be done? If someone could point me in the direction of a how to document or give me some clues I would be most grateful.

Hi!
To avoid the server name to be displayed you should examine the possibilities of the Webcache which is part of the 9.0.4. To hide the package name you might need to do some macig in the OHS (Apache) by using mod_rewrite but I doubt that this would work.

OAS 4.0.8.1 & JWEB cartridge - ows 10911

I am running OAS 4.0.8.1 on NT sp5. When I startup my jweb cartridge I get ows-04793 and ows-10911. I can run helloworld correctly but when I run my application I get the same errors above again. Is anyone running OAS 4.0.8.1 on NT with a jweb cartridge and not getting these errors. Even if I use the default cartridge from Oracle without altering anything I get these errors. ???

I increased the severity level for logging to 15 for the Cartridge configuration
in the OASManager.
It says init method did not return. For my init method I have that following :
public void init(ServletConfig config) throws ServletException
super.init(config) ;
All the above was generated by the Servlet Wizard.
Below if the level 15 trace information :
OWS-10911: Throwing exception for reason: wrkwExecute: Exec callback returned WRB_ERROR `
OWS-10833: Cartridge HelloServlet/HelloCart init runtime callback did not return WRB_DONE `

Can anyone advise why and what needs to be
done to fix this ??
Please help.

OAS 4.0.8.1 - JServlet Cartridge - error OWS-04769

Hi,
I'm trying to run servlets under the JServlet Cartridge of OAS. My servlet uses the HttpSession class to track sessions. After receiving requests from 3 clients the servlet stops running with the following messages in wrb.log:
08-15-2000 14:22:56 460136 darkstar `Broker` 5786 1 0x10fff `OWS-04769: Number of instances for Cartridge Secure_Apps/Login at darkstar has reached the maximum. `

How do I increase the number of cartridge instances? Or how else can I work around this problem.
Thanks.

Check if there is no a pid or trace or any file that is created during the start of this kind of process and remove it and try again. As well you may check if there is a java process from the console kill it and start it.

OWS or OAS and CGI's signals sent

Hello
I've got a question about CGI and OWS (or OAS, it's the same problem)
I've got a C compiled program which intercept signals (especially SIGUSR1) and execute a task (for exemple a simple "printf" and exit
The program do an infinite loop
program. When i execute this program in a shell window, the program loop infinitely which is logical. In a second shell window i send signal SIGUSR1 (with a "kill -USR1") to the process of the program. Immediatly, the program execute the task and exit. The program works perfectly.
Now, i put the program in a cgi directory configured in a Web listener
I execute the program in a navigator (Netscape) with an url likes http://my_server/my_cgi_directory/my_program
The program loops
I creates a cgi program (a shell) which gets the id process of the program which loops and send the USR1 signal. I put this cgi program in my cgi directory.
In a second navigator, i launch the cgi program which normally send USR1 signal, and the program which loops should execute the correctly task and exit as it does.
And now, the program don't exit, in fact it doesn't launch the task.
I've got the same problem with OWS 3.02, OAS 4.08, linux, aix platform.
I've tried to send the USR1 signal in a window shell but no action, the signals are blocked.
The only two signals KILL and STOP works properly, in a window shell AND in an URL with navigator.
Have you got this problem too ?? Which is the solution ??? I'have open a call to ORACLE SUPPORT but no response, they say the problem perhaps will never be solved (for them, it may not be a BUG)
Thanks in advance

Regarding to issue #1,
I would suggest to the change your virtual path to physical path mapping setting in OAS. The OJSP engine will lookup pages relative to your physical path (not the default doc root).
Regarding to issue #2,
Unfortunately, the information you provided is rather limited. It's difficult to do some definite diagnositic based the brief description. Sorry.

Query ON ORACLE AND OAS UPGRADE PLAN

Currently we are running Oracle Server 7.3.4 Under Unix (SunOS5.7) with access to a Sybase 12.5.0.1 via Oracle-Sybase Transparent Gateway 4.1.1.0.0.
For the web services, we use OAS 4.0.8.1. Our web applications are based on Javascript and Oracle PL/SQL to generate HTML.
We plan to upgrade the Oracle Server from 7.3.4 to Oracle 9iAS version 9.2.0.1.
Our quetions are :
1) Is it necessary to upgrade OAS 4.0.8.1 to Oracle 9iAS?
1a)If we have to upgrade then which version of 9iAS (9.0.2, 9.0.3, 9.0.4)is compatible?
1b)what change, if any, do we have to make to our exisiting applications(Javascript, HTML and PL/SQL-generated HTML) (we understand that the application logic would not have to be change in any
way. Is this so?)
2) Are Oracle Server 9i and Oracle 9iAS Application Server compatible with the SunOS5.7 Unix or is an upgrade to a later version necessary?
3) Do we need to upgrade the Oracle-Sybase Transparent Gateway if we upgrade the Oracle Server to Oracle9i and if so, to what version?
Please confirm that Oracle9.2 has a Gateway to Sybase 12.5.0.1 that will support the features of 7.3.4 gateway (i.e it is downward compatible to 7.3.4
gateway).

Not real sure if this is doable or would help, but perhaps you can load the access table into an Oracle Global Temporary Table? See http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/8i/TemporaryTables.php (and google on it). I think I'm assuming your 11 hour query had something to do with shovelling a bucketload of data to the access side, perhaps if you could show us the plan on the Oracle side that access was generating to get the Oracle data there might be a different answer.
Oftentimes cross-db tools won't use Oracle features like analytics, or do slow-by-slow row processing where a short procedure could do things within the Oracle sql engine and return data in larger arrays.
Sometimes mass data cleansings benefit from using server side tools outside of the db. Do you have the data from before it was loaded to Oracle? What Oracle platform are you on?

OAS upgrade 10.1.3.5.0 (Oracle Linux)

I have installed OAS 10.1.3.0 (32 bit) on Oracle Linux 5 (64 bit) successfully. But when I am trying to upgrade/install to OAS 10.1.3.5.0 (Patchset 5), the installation is struck/hanged at 13%. I am using SOA suite 10g installer. There is enough free space on disk -- 32gb and installation folder has required permissions. I donot understand why is it struck at "spawning '//scratch/chetpati/database/oracle/product/10.1.3.1/OracleAS_1/dsa/bin/getias.sh'"
Please refer to the snapshot link - http://i50.tinypic.com/2e4m3k2.jpg . It is like that for 2 hours.
The complete installation Log is here -- http://pastebin.com/udM2xiJF .
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Chetan.

Finally I found the answer.
for a strange reason the classloader in release 3 was not able to find the BSF provider although the bsf.jar was inside the applib.
Thus I have set the
System.setProperty("org.apache.xalan.extensions.bsf.BSFManager","class to load");
Could someone explain me why the application server was not able to locate the class although the iAS release 2 was working fine ?
Thank you.

OAS 9.0.4.x upgrade to OAS 10.1.2.x / Portal 10.1.4

We are upgrading OAS 9.0.4.2 with BI & Forms to OAS 10.1.2x / Portal 10.1.4 under Sun Solaris 9 (SPARC 64) and there is some confusion about Note:416942.1: sounds like we need to upgrade to terminal release 9.0.4.3 before migration. There are some notes about applying 10.1.2.2.0 patch set to 10.1.2.0.x installation. It comes from one of my SRs that Oracle is planning patch set 3 for OAS 10g r2 for this summer. Does anybody have a tested sequence of patches for SPARC to go from 9.0.4.2 to OAS 10.1.2x / Portal 10.1.4?
Any comments will be highly appreciated.
