Webcenter PS3 pre-build virtual machine question

Experts,
I have following queries regarding VM for web center
1) What are the limitation of using pre-build virtual machine for development/testing environment compared to standard installation?
2) What are the webcenter features not supported by pre-build WC VM but is supported in standard installation?
I am thinking of using pre-build WC VM for development and testing environment. So, want to know the limitation before using it.
Appreciate any help on this.
Ashish
P.S - Standard installation is installing DB (using RCU), weblogic & webcenter suite.

The pre build is very good for demonstration purpose. You can do some development on it but i don't think this is recommended.
The pre build machine is just a plain installation with a DB, weblogic and webcenter suite. If you create your own VM with the same software, than there is not much difference between the pre build machine.
If you don't plan on using a real server for your development purpose than you can use the pre build machine. I don't know if it is allowed so maybe you should check this with Oracle. There isn't a real difference between an installation that you will do an the pre build machine to technicaly, you could use it... Licence wise... you should check it with Oracle.

  • Installing Pre-built Virtual Machine for Oracle WebCenter Portal error

    Hi,
    I am trying to install the Pre-built Virtual Machine for Oracle WebCenter Portal: Framework 11gR1 (11.1.1.4.0) onto a Laptop (500G HDD 8G Ram) running Windows 7 to learn.
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/webcenter/portal/downloads/owcs-portalfw-vbox-284132.html
    I want to run in a VirtualBox Linux setup etc.
    I have downloaded all the files except the REAVDD-HOL-WC.ovf which would not download so I saved in browser to the same directory etc.
    I have set the preferences in Virtual Box to the same directory where I have downloaded the files to but when I Import Applicance and select C:\users\Tony\Virtual Box VMs and select the defaults and import I get an error box stating:

    I've imported this appliance (and others) on Windows 7 32-bit on a Lenovo W500, on an iMac, and on a MacBook. The one error you should encounter during the "import appliance" step is a path error related to shared folder (the canned/hard-coded path in the ovf file points to a place that is not likely to exist on your computer, so just comment out the D:\TEMP\Host path, or make it for that matter).
    <!--SharedFolders-->
    <!--SharedFolder name="Host" hostPath="D:\TEMP\Host" writable="false" autoMount="true"/ -->
    <!-- /SharedFolders-->
    You can alter system set memory_target=300M scope=both and set your VM memory to 2.5GB and everything will run fine (using the vmctl script to start up what's needed). The "1" option is all that is needed for the tutorial shown in the documentation. If you run the admin server, you will see things run a good bit slower. Part of the tutorial assumes you know about UCM and how to take the UCM content in the sample files and upload those into the repository. You can delete the file already loaded and then do a single file upload to "re-load" the various directories/folders for the menu/home/etc. Upload the png and other files into the same folder (menu.html, menuBanner.png, etc. all go into the same Menu folder). It's not worth the time to set the bulk upload because you have to go out into UCM and dig around the admin settings, stop/restart, and so on. You can also use the contentadmin user (welcome1) to do the file upload.

  • Failing to assemble Downloaded Pre-built Virtual Machine for  SOA Suite and BPM Suite 11g

    Hello,
    I checked the download checksum of the files downloaded for Pre-built Virtual Machine for  SOA Suite and BPM Suite 11g ( Pre-built Virtual Machine for SOA Suite and BPM Suite 11g ) and they all match checksums.
    however, when I try to assemble them with 7zip, I get a corrupt error message.  I have tried downloading with Chrome and Internet Explorer.  I have also tried assembling the 7zip files different ways.
    Is there anything else I should try?
    Running on Windows 7, 64 bit machine.  (with lots of disk space).
    Is there any other way to get the files?
    thank you.

    thanks for the response
    I guess I will have to do that as well.
    However, it defeats the speed with which can ramp up with the toolset;  thus slowing my time I can allocate to learning it...

  • Pre-Configured Virtual Machine with OBIEE 11g available?

    Hi,
    does Oracle offer a pre-configured Virtual Machine with OBIEE 11g? I found an old Virtual Box Image with 10.2..., but nothin newer.
    Thanks for your help.
    Christoph

    Hi,
    I don't suppose this is available yet is it? I notice Oracle offer quite a few downloadable images for Virtual Box now, but OBI isn't included in any that I could see.

  • Pre-built Virtual Machine for SOA Suite and BPM Suite 11g - console logons

    Dear All
    Excellent work on VirtualBox SOA suite image, very very cool
    All started up no sweat, logged into virtual image no probs (oracle:oracle)
    Firefox all nicely set up with links
    BUT what are the console logins for
    1 - Oracle EM
    2 - WLS Console
    3 - BPM Workspace
    4 - BPM Process Composer
    5 - Oracle B2B Login
    Perhaps I'm missing something, but I cant find them
    many thanks all

    I will try to explain in more detail what i am trying here:
    I am planning to use the Virtual Machine as server, just for running Weblogic with SOA/BPM.
    All the development i will do on a different computer, where I have installed JDeveloper. From the development environment I will try to deploy applications on SOA/BPM Virtual machine.
    As I understood, bridge networking are problematic when using wireless connectivity and VirtualBox. Therefore, I am trying to use NAT with port forwarding instead.
    To make port forwarding work:
    First, you need to execute on the host the following command line:
    +VBoxManage modifyvm "vbox-oel5u4-soabpm-11gr1ps2-bp1-otn" --natpf1 "guestswls,tcp,,7001,,7001"+
    Next, on guest VM, Network Adapters, choose NAT and as Adapter Type choose: Intel PRO/1000 MT Server
    With this settings, I am able to connect from development computer to the Em console, WLS console etc. I am able even to 'see' the WLS SOA/BPM instance with JDeveloper from LAN machine. But when I am trying to deploy from JDeveloper, under SOA Servers step2 screen, I see the server URL as localhost:7001. Therefore I cannot deploy yet...
    Thanks,

  • Connect to a guest Virtual Machine question

    I'm new to Oracle VM and i have a question. If you have installed to a server Oracle VM 3.1.1 and then you have a second physical machine with your VM Manager in it and you have created several virtual guest machines with Linux, Windows and etc...
    Can a third machine let say a laptop with either Linux or Windows installed have remote access to the virtual guest machines through a vnc or remote desktop(windows) connection????

    The answer depends. You can isolate your guests Operating Systems but it sounds you don't want to.
    A guest operates just like it would if it was a physical server. Yes. you can ssh,scp,ftp and etc into a guest Linux server if you have these things configured on your guest. The console feature of the VM Manager uses VNC to redirect the console graphics output to the VNC viewer using a java applet that acts likes a proxy.
    It works the same way on windows. However, you can also remote desktop directly into the guest windows server if you have RDP enabled on that server.
    If you do not install these features in the guest OS... then there is nothing in the VM Manager to enable such connections directly to the guest host. The only thing that is redirected graphically is the graphics output via VNC and this is only done through the VM Manager or Enterprise Manager 12c.

  • How to combine SOA pre-built Virtual Machine

    Hi ,
    I have downloaded oracle provided SOA pre-built VM. There are 7 files that need be combinted to produce 1 file that Oracle Virtual Box can recognize and import.
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/soasuite/learnmore/vmsoa-172279.html
    I can't find a good way to combine it. I have WinZip installed in my xp machine. Can't extract any of the file with it.
    Any idea?
    Thanks in advance.

    The files are in 7zip format, see http://www.7-zip.org/ for the utility to extract them.

  • Pre Purchase Time Machine Questions

    Apologies if this has been covered elsewhere but several searches later and I'm still not 100% sure I've answered my questions. First some background.
    I'm considering the Time Capsule for the MB Pros, and also to help consolidate my current wireless network which consists of two (a Netgear and a 3Com) access points each separately configured with different SSIDs and channels, one AP is upstairs and one downstairs, due to signal strength. Although this setup works well, I'd like to just have one wireless network that everything connects to. So I'm trying to get definitive answers on:
    1. Will the TC act as a standard access point - I assume it will, even though all the information calls it a wireless router.
    2. I'm aware I can add either an AX or an AEBS to extend the network as i want to do. Since I have a wired connection both downstairs and upstairs I would imagine the best setup is to connect both access points to this but I'm unsure if this is how extending is supposed to work, or if there is a better way of having the devices configured considering they can be (and I would prefer they are) wired to the same LAN. Would just settings both to the same SSID work?
    Thanks

    Welcome to the discussion area!
    +1. Will the TC act as a standard access point+ Yes
    +2. I'm aware I can add either an AX or an AEBS to extend the network as i want to do+
    The best way to do this is as you suggest, using ethernet. Configure the remote device to use the same name (SSID), security and password as the main device. You will also need to configure the device as a "bridge" to work correctly on the network.
    The Time Capsule creates a dual band wireless network with both 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz bands. If you want to duplicate this with the remote device, you would need to get an AirPort Extreme, since it is also a dual band device.
    The AirPort Express is not dual band, so it would extend only one band. To extend both bands, you would need two AirPort Expresses, but a single AirPort Expteme would be less money and offer more features.

  • Virtual Machine Question

    I am trying to get "Apple Support Certified" and need a machine running OS X (10.6) to study on.  Can I purchase another license of OS X  and run it as a VM using Parallels or VMWare on my Mac Book Pro?  Thanks.

    No, it won't. There are no license keys for the client version of Mac OS X; Apple uses the honor system for that product.

  • WebCenter PS3 VM on Windows XP.

    Hello -
    I am trying to install and configure the Pre-built Virtual Machine for Oracle WebCenter Portal Framework 11gR1 (11.1.1.4.0) located here..
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/webcenter/downloads/owcs-portalfw-vbox-284132.html
    I am using windows XP and I can correctly start the VM. However, when I try to run the vmctl command to start the services the VM freezes and I cannot recover; I believe it stalls during the startup of weblogic. I am running on a xp machine with 3 gig and have over 2 gig allocated to the VM.
    Any help appreciated.

    Edited by: 848016 on Mar 28, 2011 10:33 AMThe 'freezing' problem is something between VirtualBox and Windows - I've usually seen the problem when I don't have quite enough RAM to run the VM. If you note the requirements listed:
    At least 3GB of RAM (recommended 6GB)
    At least 30GB of free disk space (Note: virtualization works best with contiguous space so if using Windows as the host operating system, it is a good idea to run a defragmenting program, and make sure you are using NTFS for your file system to handle large files)
    2GHz processor
    ... I interpret that to mean "3 GB of RAM for the VM", not total for the machine. Running an Oracle Fusion Middleware stack in general tends to be pretty memory intensive - I haven't had much success running a VM with the database, Weblogic, etc. with much less than 4 GB.
    So in short, my advice is to find a good online price for additional RAM - the more the merrier.

  • Jvm-java virtual machine

    Hai iam new to this forum and as well i just started to learn java iwant to know in brief about JVM
    i think it may be silly question but as i am bigginer to java kindly expect reply

    faustofrancis wrote:
    A Java Virtual Machine (JVM) is a set of computer software programs and data structures which use a virtual machine model for the execution of other computer programs and scripts. The model used by a JVM accepts a form of computer intermediate language commonly referred to as Java bytecode. This language conceptually represents the instruction set of a stack-oriented, capability architecture.
    Java Virtual Machines operate on Java bytecode, which is normally (but not necessarily) generated from Java source code; a JVM can also be used to implement programming languages other than Java. For example, Ada source code can be compiled to Java bytecode, which may then be executed by a JVM. JVMs can also be released by other companies besides Sun (the developer of Java) -- JVMs using the "Java" trademark may be developed by other companies as long as they adhere to the JVM specification published by Sun (and related contractual obligations).
    The JVM is a crucial component of the Java Platform. Because JVMs are available for many hardware and software platforms, Java can be both middleware and a platform in its own right &#151; hence the expression "write once, run anywhere." The use of the same bytecode for all platforms allows Java to be described as "compile once, run anywhere", as opposed to "write once, compile anywhere", which describes cross-platform compiled languages. The JVM also enables such unique features as Automated Exception Handling which provides 'root-cause' debugging information for every software error (exception) independent of the source code.
    The JVM is distributed along with a set of standard class libraries which implement the Java API (Application Programming Interface). The virtual machine and API have to be consistent with each other[dubious &#150; discuss] and are therefore bundled together as the Java Runtime Environment.
    Execution environment
    Programs intended to run on a JVM must be compiled into a standardized portable binary format, which typically comes in the form of .class files. A program may consist of many classes in different files. For easier distribution of large programs, multiple class files may be packaged together in a .jar file (short for Java archive).
    The JVM runtime executes .class or .jar files, emulating the JVM instruction set by interpreting it, or using a just-in-time compiler (JIT) such as Sun's HotSpot. JIT compiling, not interpreting, is used in most JVMs today to achieve greater speed. Ahead-of-time compilers that enable the developer to precompile class files into native code for a particular platform also exist.
    Like most virtual machines, the Java Virtual Machine has a stack-based architecture.
    Although the JVM was primarily aimed at running compiled Java programs, other languages can now run on top of it[1], such as:
    * Ruby, with JRuby
    * JavaScript, with Rhino
    * Python, with Jython
    * Common Lisp, with Armed Bear Common Lisp
    * Groovy
    * Scala
    [edit] Bytecode verifier
    A basic philosophy of Java is that it is inherently "safe" from the standpoint that no user program can "crash" the host machine or otherwise interfere inappropriately with other operations on the host machine, and that it is possible to protect certain functions and data structures belonging to "trusted" code from access or corruption by "untrusted" code executing within the same JVM. Furthermore, common programmer errors that often lead to data corruption or unpredictable behavior such as accessing off the end of an array or using an uninitialized pointer are not allowed to occur. Several features of Java combine to provide this safety, including the class model, the garbage-collected heap, and the verifier.
    The JVM verifies all bytecode before it is executed. This verification consists primarily of three types of checks:
    * Branches are always to valid locations
    * Data is always initialized and references are always type-safe
    * Access to "private" or "package private" data and methods is rigidly controlled.
    The first two of these checks take place primarily during the "verification" step which occurs when a class is loaded and made eligible for use. The third is primarily performed dynamically, when data items or methods of a class are first accessed by another class.
    The verifier permits only some bytecode sequences in valid programs, e.g. a jump (branch) instruction can only target an instruction within the same function or method. Because of this, the fact that JVM is a stack architecture does not imply a speed penalty for emulation on register-based architectures when using a JIT compiler. In the face of the code-verified JVM architecture, it makes no difference to a JIT compiler whether it gets named imaginary registers or imaginary stack positions that need to be allocated to the target architecture's registers. In fact, code verification makes the JVM different from a classic stack architecture whose efficient emulation with a JIT compiler is more complicated and typically carried out by a slower interpreter.
    Code verification also ensures that arbitrary bit patterns cannot get used as an address. Memory protection is achieved without the need for a MMU. Thus, JVM is an efficient way of getting memory protection on simple architectures that lack an MMU. This is analogous to managed code in Microsoft's .NET CLR, and conceptually similar to capability architectures such as the Plessey 250, and IBM System/38.
    [edit] Bytecode instructions
    Main article: Java bytecode
    The JVM has instructions for the following groups of tasks:
    * Load and store
    * Arithmetic
    * Type conversion
    * Object creation and manipulation
    * Operand stack management (push / pop)
    * Control transfer (branching)
    * Method invocation and return
    * Throwing exceptions
    * Monitor-based concurrency
    The aim is binary compatibility. Each particular host operating system needs its own implementation of the JVM and runtime. These JVMs interpret the byte code semantically the same way, but the actual implementation may be different. More complicated than just the emulation of bytecode is compatible and efficient implementation of the Java core API which has to be mapped to each host operating system.
    [edit] Secure execution of remote code
    A virtual machine architecture allows very fine-grained control over the actions that code within the machine is permitted to take. This is designed to allow safe execution of untrusted code from remote sources, a model used by Java applets. Applets run within a VM incorporated into a user's browser, executing code downloaded from a remote HTTP server. The remote code runs in a restricted "sandbox", which is designed to protect the user from misbehaving or malicious code. Publishers can purchase a certificate with which to digitally sign applets as "safe", giving them permission to ask the user to break out of the sandbox and access the local file system and network...
    [edit] C to bytecode compilers
    From the point of view of a compiler Java bytecode is just another processor with an instruction set for which code can be generated. The JVM was originally designed to execute programs written in the Java language. However, the JVM provides an execution environment in the form of a bytecode instruction set and a runtime system that is general enough that it can be used as the target for compilers of other languages.
    Because of its close association with Java the JVM performs the runtime checks mandated by the Java specification. This can make it technically difficult to translate C code (which is much more lax with regard to runtime checking) to the JVM and expect it to run without issuing any warnings.
    Compilers targeting many different languages, including Ada and COBOL, have been written.
    [edit] Licensing
    Starting with J2SE 5.0, changes to the JVM specification have been developed under the Java Community Process as JSR 924[2]. As of 2006, changes to specification to support changes proposed to the class file format (JSR 202[3]) are being done as a maintenance release of JSR 924. The specification for the JVM is published in book form,[4] known as "blue book". The preface states:
    We intend that this specification should sufficiently document the Java Virtual Machine to make possible compatible clean-room implementations. Sun provides tests which verify the proper operation of implementations of the Java Virtual Machine.
    Sun's JVM is called HotSpot. Clean-room Java implementations include Kaffe and IBM J9. Sun retains control over the Java trademark, which it uses to certify implementation suites as fully compatible with Sun's specification.

  • Question on potential configurations for resource cluster as virtual machine server / beowulf / render farm

    I am looking for a starting point on where to focus my efforts in researching a desired configuration.  Of course anyone who spends anytime researching in forums knows that one thing that people hate is for people
    to ask questions that can be easily answered with a simple Google search, so let me start by saying I have done many hours of research on this already.  The problem I am having is that although there is a huge amount of information out there on what I
    am looking to do, I don't believe many people have attempted this on as small of a scale as a single user system.  Also, the amount of routes to go down seems endless, which for me so far has led to many hours of wasted trial and error.  So keep
    in mind that I am not so much looking for a handout on answers but rather a more narrowed path of searching and researching.
    What I am looking to do is take the current equipment that I have and consolidate it into a 9-12U server rack using mounted 2 or 3U atx cases so that I can have a more organized, space saving setup.  That is the
    easy part, what I have been looking into though is the combining of cores and processing power to make a "super computer" yet I use this term very loosely.  From what I have read, the closest thing I can compare the idea in my head to is referred
    to as a Beowulf Cluster, or a Render farm but I believe as the name suggests that this is more dedicated to a single task of rendering.  I like the idea of a virtual machine server where I would never actually locally use this machine but rather set up
    many virtual machines that I can remote into.  I started to compile a ProxMox Server, and this was the right idea, however when running a VM, that VM is constrained to the hardware resources of the single node that it is assigned to.  If there is
    a way to be able to have a machine that would utilize the 20 some odd cores that I would have in the cluster, along with the 40-50 gigs of ram, well that would be ideal but sounds too good to be possible. Also, ProxMox isnt quite there in compatibility for
    a home/home office user. I understand that the programs that are used have to be written in a way where the architecture allows for such, but if it could even be used for speeding up my render time with Adobe and Autodesk (which I know do have such functionality)
    that would be wonderful. 
    So without writing a whole book I am looking for suggestions on how to proceed.  Can I literally build a "super computer" that is not really that super... more mediocre super... or am I better off just consolidating the hardware but not the
    OS's and programs.   Also, I do currently use three or four different distros of Linux, mostly for ethical hacking and security type work like pen testing.  One thing I have never been a fan of though is dual booting.   Perhaps investing
    in a hot-swap HDD chassis that I could load all the different OS's on where I could just pop in whatever OS I am looking to use.  As you can see I am far from knowing where to spend my efforts in research.... THANK YOu for ANY help.
    I was recently suggested Microsoft HPC Pack as a platform?  Anything?
    Here is what I currently have:
    these are all fully built)
    Intel i5 3.7 quad core
    Nvidia (ASUS) GTX-760
    16 Gb DDR3 @ 1600 Corsair
    ASUS Sabertooth Z87 MoBo
    Autodesk - Inventor, Revit, 3Ds Max, Maya, Fusion 360, Flow, etc.
    Adobe - PhotoShop, After Effects, Dreamweaver, Illustrator, etc.
    Basically as you can see this is used for my work in 3d modeling, rendering, and drafting along with 3D printing.
    Sys. #2
    AMD 4.7-5.0 8 Core
    Nvidia GTX 760 (Same as sys #1)
    16 Gb DDR3 @ 2400 Mhz
    ASUS Crosshair V Formula Z
    Various programs for programming, app development, gaming, etc.  (This is my daily driver)
    Sys #3
    AMD 4.5-4.7 8 core
    16 Gb DDR3 @ 1600 Mhz
    Asus Crosshair V Formula Z MoBo
    Not currently using this one but is fully functional.
    Sys #4
    HP built i5 3.4 quad core
    12 Gb DDR3 @ 1600
    Nothing Special - this is the one I was using for school work but being that school and programming became one and the same I have all but abandoned it.
    THANK YOU AGAIN TO ANYONE WHO HAS MADE IT THIS FAR in reading this.

    The cluster works only for standalone webcache and httpserver installations types.
    If you want to do this you have to use dcmctl command to change from one farm to another.
    try checking with dcmctl command with out options an dyou will get a full list of options.
    then run dcmctl usage(orhelp) option to see what you need.
    As far as I remember
    you have to check the farm id of the server you want to be the master
    then in the second, you have to run dcmctl joinfarm or something like that.
    Regards.
