Migrating from Weblogic to Oracle Application Server 10g

Hello,
To respond to this post you will need some basic familiarity with Weblogic.
I am currently using Weblogic Server 8.1.
I have an admin machine which is on its own physical hardware, and multiple managed servers. The admin server is a single point of management for all of the managed servers. Each managed server lies on it's own physical hardware and are managed remotely from the admin server.
Does Oracle Application Server have this type of architecture?
Lets say I have salesApp.ear and I want to deploy it across multiple physical machines, where would I administer the various physical machines from, and how would I create an instance on each machine?
Would it be an oc4j instance or an AS instance? What is the difference?

Forget about this!
You need a JEE5 server to work with 11g.
In theory you can develop application for OAS 10.1.3.1 but you must be very very careful which components you use. One new component and you are not able to run it on OAS 10.1.3.1
If you have to run your apps on OAS 10.1.3.1 stay with JDEV 10g.

What is diff between oracle application server and weblogic server?

what is the exact difference between oracle application server and weblogic application server?

The difference between Oracle Application Server AND WebLogic Server has been discussed in a lot of forums dated 2008 and earlier comparing OAS10g with WebLogic10.0/WebLogic9.2
But, now since Oracle has taken over WebLogic, this is not really important.
Now, OAS has no further releases post 10g. WebLogic Server will be the Oracle's strategic application server going forward.
So, if your query is for choosing one of them for a new environment, you are better of with WebLogic Server 10.3.6 OR WebLogic Server 12g
As we will not have further releases of OAS and also OAS10g will be end of life soon, we recommend Oracle WebLogic Server.
If you still want to know the differences, here is one such old oracle documentation link that talks about it

Oracle Application Server 10.1.3.2 or Oracle Weblogic 11g

Hi
I am trying to find a roadmap for the above servers. Our company is currently looking at upgrading to one of the two from 10.1.2.
We have already got the application to run on 10.1.3.2 and another team is trying to upgrade to Oracle Weblogic 11g.
What do you recommend we do?
Will all new servers only be Oracle Weblogic 11g? Or can we expect releases of Oracle App Server?
Also where can I find a roadmap of this?

Hi
I cannot make any officially statement but my gut feeling is down the line Oracle will use Weblogic Server as their core application server in place of their own Oracle Application Server. The main reason being the SAO 11g suite using WLS as the base server. Infact one of the reasons Oracle bought BEA is because of the Weblogic Server product. So I would recommend putting the effort in upgrading your applications and existing domains to WLS instead of Oracle Application server subject to your actual type and nature of applications. Any BPEL, SOA, WebServices can now be deployed on WLS. If any of your exisitng legacy applications deployed on Oracle App Server cannot be deployed on WLS, then check with Oracle Product Mgmt team about the specifics of those apps roadmap regarding app serves. Hope this helps.

How to integrate Oracle Portal running on Oracle Application Server 10.1.2

I have an Oracle Portal running on a Oracle Application Server 10.1.2.
Portal is responsible ( along with OID ) for the users authentication and authorization.
There is a new JEE application that was developed recently, which the Portal users must have access to.
HOW can I put a link into a page of the Portal, that redirects the portal user to a new browser window displaying my new application?
HOW can this new application, running in a separate weblogic 11g (10.3.5) server, automatically authenticate with the same username/password previously authenticated when the user logged into the portal?
Any ideas?
I´ve already thought in a bunch of ways to do it:
- put a link into the portal with a sessionId, then when opening the new app, it automatically tries to use the same session. How can I configure this session id during the creation of the portal's page? How can I use it from the new app to use the same session?
- put a link into the portal with a userid, then when opening the new app, it automatically tries to authenticate using a different authentication provider configurated in WL, which points to Portal´s OID. In this situation, how can I ensure that the user is already logged in and the session has not timed out?
- Should I use OSSO?
- Should I use OAM?
Any help would be appreciated!
Murilo

Hi Murilo,
A portletized version of your J2EE app would probably have been ideal for your purpose as it would handle both authentication (through SSO) and session information (through Portal framework as the framework can pass session information to the provider/producer). This would require changes to the application however.
Easiest approach would be to use mod_osso to protect your J2EE application. SSO would then handle the authentication for your Portal and your J2EE application.
Thanks,

Client-cert auth impl in web.xml does not work in Oracle Application Server

Hi,
I am new to implementing security features on the web applications.. I have developed a new web service using jdev1012 and deployed in OAS 10.1.2. Its working fine according to the business requirements, but I am in need of implementing client-cert authentication to enable the web service available to only those who have client certificate.
My server details are:
Oracle Application Server 10g Release 2 (10.1.2)
Server certificate is in place and SSL mode have been already enabled.. able to access my web service through https://<mydomain.com>/myws/TreqWS as well able to see the WSDL file through https://<mydomain.com>/myws/TreqWS?WSDL.
I tried to include the following in my web.xml file as part of implementing CLIENT-CERT authentication.
<security-constraint>
<display-name>SecurityConstraint</display-name>
<web-resource-collection>
<web-resource-name>WSCollection</web-resource-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</web-resource-collection>
<user-data-constraint>
<transport-guarantee>CONFIDENTIAL</transport-guarantee>
</user-data-constraint>
</security-constraint>
<login-config>
<auth-method>CLIENT-CERT</auth-method>
<realm-name>WSCollection</realm-name> 
</login-config>
It is not woking as expected, though I have restarted my oc4j container after including this content to the web.xml file. i.e, I am able to invoke the web service though my sample java client program, though I donot have client certificate/keystore.
I believe I am missing something..Can anyone help me in this regard to implement CLIENT-CERT authentication successfully?
Thanks,
Ms

I am having the same problem with doc and xsl. I have added this
<mime-mapping>
<extension>xls</extension>
<mime-type>application/vnd.ms-excel</mime-type>
</mime-mapping>
<mime-mapping>
<extension>doc</extension>
<mime-type>application/msword</mime-type>
</mime-mapping>
to my web.xml. I even restarted the server. I still see doc and xsl in binary.
Is there some other setting that needs to take place?
I am using WL6.1 with fixpack 1.
I can see the doc and excel files in the browser if I don't go through the weblogic
server. That just confirms it's not my browser.

It works fine for me in 6.1 SP1.
 
If the following doesn't work , can you
 try application/winword instead of application/msword?

Reports run in LAN but not in WAN from Oracle Application Server 10g R2

Hi,
I am using Microsoft(R) Windows(R) Server 2003, Standard Edition (Version 5.2.3790 Build 3790) & Oracle Application Server 10g Release 2 (10.1.2).
I run my forms and reports in Oracle Application Server 10g Release 2 (10.1.2) successfully in client server environment. But when I run my application in WAN (our private network between different cities) then forms are run successfully but reports does not run.
i am calling reports from Forms using following code.
PROCEDURE PRINT_REP_WEB IS
RO_Report_ID REPORT_OBJECT;
Str_Report_Server_Job VARCHAR2(100);
Str_Job_ID VARCHAR2(100);
Str_URL VARCHAR2(100);
PL_ID PARAMLIST ;
BEGIN
PL_ID := GET_PARAMETER_LIST('TEMPDATA');
IF NOT ID_NULL(PL_ID) THEN
DESTROY_PARAMETER_LIST(PL_ID);
END IF;
PL_ID := CREATE_PARAMETER_LIST('TEMPDATA');
RO_Report_ID := FIND_REPORT_OBJECT('REPORT183');
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(RO_Report_ID, REPORT_FILENAME, 'C:\cheema\qdir_store\reports\pmms\backlog_jobtype.RDF');
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(RO_Report_ID, REPORT_COMM_MODE, SYNCHRONOUS);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(RO_Report_ID, REPORT_EXECUTION_MODE, BATCH);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(RO_Report_ID, REPORT_DESTYPE, FILE);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(RO_Report_ID, REPORT_DESFORMAT, 'PDF');
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(RO_Report_ID, REPORT_SERVER, 'rep_pap_10gasmid');
Str_Report_Server_Job := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(RO_Report_ID, PL_ID);
Str_Job_ID := SUBSTR(Str_Report_Server_Job, LENGTH('rep_pap_10gasmid') + 2, LENGTH(Str_Report_Server_Job));
Str_URL := '/reports/rwservlet/getjobid' || Str_Job_ID || '?server=rep_pap_10gasmid';
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT(Str_URL, '_SELF');
DESTROY_PARAMETER_LIST(PL_ID);
END;
when clients in WAN press the reports button from Form there is a message "Page can not be displayed" appear.
How can I run my reports in WAN, please suggest me solution.

This sounds like a configuration issue. Are there different firewall rules that are enforced on WAN connections versus LAN connections?
Hope this helps.

Oracle Application Server 10g Java Object Cache

Hi,
I am new to Java and looking for a java caching framework and just came across Oracle Application Server 10g Java Object Cache. I am unable to find 11g version of the same. Is it not supported any more?
Can I use this with weblogic server? Please suggest if any other alternatives.
Thanks,
Manoj

Bump.
I definitely don't see the same file: C:\dev\jdevstudio10134\javacache\lib\cache.jar in the Oracle JDEV tree. Is there a suggested alternative?

Oracle Application Server 10g/Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g

Hi folks, This question related to migration/upgrade of Oracle Application Server infrastructure.
I see that the Oracle has come up with Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g. Is it the next release of Oracle Application Server 10g. I have the following questions. Appreciate if any one can provide answers to the following questions. Please correct me if my understanding of these oracle products is not right! Thanks
1. What is the future of Oracle Application Server?
2. Is it Oracle Fusion Middleware(OFM) 11g is the upgrade path if one need
to upgrade?
3. Is it expected that expected that customers need(if require) to move to OFM 11g?
4. Does OFM 10g comes with Oracle Application Server? If not what does
it comes with?
5. If it does not, what about customers having applications built using oracle forms and reports? Does OFG 11g
support Oracle forms and reports?
I understand that OFM 10g comes with Oracle web logic server!
Thanks in advance.
movva

To run Forms and Reports in Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g you have to use the distribution "Portal, Forms, Reports and Discoverer" in the FMW 11g software pack.
The structure of what we used to call "the application server" has changed a bit however, in the following way:
- In 11g you need to install the Javaserver WebLogic software (version 10.3.3 for the current Forms 11g version 11.1.1.3) first.
In 10g the installation of the Javaserver (OC4J) was part of the App server install.
Note that you just have to install the software, the configuration script for creating a Forms app server instance creates the WebLogic domain (comparable with the OC4J instance) for you.
- In 11g the Fusion Middleware software installation is separate from the creation of an application server instance.
This is more convenient and comparable to Oracle database and Weblogic installation.
- The Fusion Middleware Configuration script installs two parts of the product: 1. A WebLogic Domain. 2. A Fusion Middleware instance.
The first contains everything related to Java, such as the servlet configuration file (formsweb.cfg), while the latter contains everything that has less to do with the Javaserver
- No more Infrastructure server
The Infrastructure server does not exist anymore. If you want to use Single Sign On with Forms/Reports 11g you can install Identity Management 10.1.4.3 (or use Identity Management 11g, and configure separately the 10.1.4.3 Single Sign On) or keep your old 10g Infrastructure installation.
During installation you just have to specify you want to use OID and SSO and it configures out of the box.
Under normal circumstances the same licenses apply to 10g and 11g (as long as you do not use WebLogic for other purposes).

Fate of Oracle Application Server? Is it going to be obsolete?

Hi all,
What is the fate of Oracle Application Server? Is Oracle going to dump or obsolete it ? Or it will coexist along with WebLogic?
Many thanks.
Omer

Oracle Application Server is a suit of products which includes Oracle HTTP Server, Web Cache, Discoverer, Forms & Reports, Portal, SOA, OiD etc. In the FMW11g release, the Java container (OC4J) has been replaced by the WebLogic engine. I would not say Oracle Application Server is obsoleted :-)
Thanks,

Two Instances of Oracle Application Server 10.1.3.x using the same DB

I can't seem to find any documentation about installing two instances of Oracle Application Server 10.1.3.x using the same database.
Would the two instances conflict? Should I create a separate database for each instance? I am attempting to cluster two application servers and I want to know if I will need multiple databases, I can't see a reason why this would be a problem.
Any advice on this matter would be appreciated.

You have probably downloaded the wrong version.
Do not download the Oracle SOA Suite 10g (10.1.3.5.1) for WebLogic Server (10.3.1),
but the one below that option: Oracle SOA Suite 10g (10.1.3.x)
See if you get something like the following zip file: soa_windows_x86_101310_disk1.zip
This is just the OC4J without the WebLogic Server.

Download Oracle Application Server 10.1.3

Where can I download Oracle Application Server 10.1.3? I go to http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/ias/index.html, I have the choice of downloading Oracle WebLogic Server 10.3 Net Installer, Oracle JDeveloper 10g Release 3 (10.1.3.3), Oracle WebLogic Server 10.3 Full Package Installer.

Difference between Oracle 11i Apps DBA & Oracle Application server 10g DBA

Hi All....
can anyone explain me the *"Difference between Oracle 11i Apps DBA & Oracle Application server 10g DBA"*
Can Oracle 11i Apps DBA work in a Oracle Application server 10g DBA environment.
Regards,

Oracle Apps is a suite of financial applications.
Oracle Application server is Oracle's scaled up implementation of Apache or Weblogic or similar products.
While Oracle Apps might use Oracle Application Server as middleware, Oracle Apps is much, much more than Oracle Application Server.
An Oracle Apps DBA is primarily busy on the functional side, and with implementing an ongoing stream of patches ;)
The two functions have almost nothing in common.

Soa suite without oracle application server

Hi everybody,
I'd like to know if we can use the oracle soa suite with an application server other than Oracle Application server, for example tomcat.....
Thanks

Hi,
Oracle SOA Suite 11gR1 is not cerified to use against any app servers other than Weblogic server. So you won't be able to find the relavent documentation as well. Other app servers may be supported in Patchset 2.
Oracle SOA Suite 10g, runs on OC4J, can be used with multiple app servers. Some of the supported servers are Weblogic, Websphere & JBoss.

Oracle Application Server administration certification info

Hi guys,
Since Oracle is is now promoting Web Logic Server I am wondering if its still worth following the Oracle Application Server 10g Administration certification (OCA and OCP)? What are the future plans of Oracle for Oracle Application Server?
Many thanks.
Omer

Ok.. great.. Weblogic is in for sure.. but what is the fate of Oracle Application Sever ? Are they gonna coexist? or Application sever gonna be obsolete in future?
Many thanks
