Where to deploy iFS for PROD env: mid-tier or inf-tier?

Mid and infra tiers are on separate servers. Does it make more sense to deploy iFS onto the mid or infra tiers from a performance standpoint?
Brian

Brian,
i guess it depends more upon security than performance. Depending upon what protocols you're maiking available will determine where to put the iFS server. Obviously you'll also need a 'fat' connection between you iFs and database machines. If all (public) access is through a web application then most performance will be gained from having app. servers with large memory and fast processors rather than the performance of the iFS server.

Help needed regarding the deployment architecture for PROD env

Dear All,
Please help me with some clarifications regarding the deployment architecture for PROD env.
As of now I have 2 single node 12.1.1 installations for DEV and CRP/TEST respectively.
Shortly I will be having a PROD env of 12.1.1 with one DB node and 2 middle tier (apps) node. I need help in whether -
1) to have a shared APPL_TOP in the SAN for the 2 apps node or to have seperate APPL_TOPs for the 2 apps node. The point is that which will be benificitial in my case from business point of view. The INST_TOPS will be node specific in any case right?
2) Where to enable the Concurrent Managers, in the DB node or in the primary apps node or in 2 apps node both for better performance.
12.1.1 is installed in RHEL 5.3
Thanks and Regards

Hi,
Please refer to (Note: 384248.1 - Sharing The Application Tier File System in Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12).
For enabling the CM, it depends on what resources you have on each server. I would recommend you install it on the the application tier node, and leave the database installed on one server with no application services (if possible).

Where should I put the conc mgr mid-tier or backend ?

Hello All,
Is there any advantage to putting the conc mgrs on the mid-tier as opposed to the database tier other than saving some memory usage on the database tier ? All the work would be carried out on the database tier wouldn't it ?
thanks
Dave

Hi,
What I was really looking for was, if there is some particular advantage I could gain from putting the mgrs on the mid-tier ? The main advatange is having all the application tier files on one node which make it easier to maintain than having the application tier nodes split on both tiers. In this case, you will have to patch the application only once (not on every node where APPL_TOP is presented).
If I put the conc mgrs on the apps tier, this means that I would never need to apply patches to the backend, given that all the apps software is on the apps tier and the database software is on the database tier. If I have 2 apps tiers I could use pcp ? But since all the work is carried out on the db tier this (pcp) would be a pointless exercise right ? You cannot use PCP if you place all the application tier files on one node. If you want to have PCP, you will need to have multiple application tier nodes.
Thanks,
Hussein

How to deploy across multiple mid-tier instances

I was hoping someone may be able to point me in the right direction. We have two portal/webcache mid-tier instances on release 10G AS 9.0.4.2. On the ias_admin home page I tried to create a cluster and add the two instances to a cluster but it won't let me do it for a portal type install. If that is the case, how do people handle deploying such things as portlet providers and data sources across multiple mid-tier instances? Here is the concern from our Portal admin:
As discussed, the inability to cluster the mid-tiers will cause issues in production as we try and keep deployed portlet providers with their required configurations and datasources in synch. While deploying and configuring 1-2 mid-tiers for a given portlet manually is do-able, the chance for out of synch components or configuration settings is amplified for each additional mid-tier. If we manually deploy 5 mid-tiers and accidently mistype the datasource for example, we'll have a random error that will occur once requests are attempted to be serviced by that mid-tier. This will make troubleshooting difficult. We really need some way to deploy and configure settings one time and have these items propagated to all the other mid-tiers.
What is the best way to handle this scenario?
Regards and thanks for any info,

Jar files are not stored on the file system
Temporary files are held in bpel/domain/default/tmp folder, whereas jar files in the dehydration store for clustered deployment.
If you configure BPEL (not AS) cluster - files will be propagated to all nodes.

Exact Match of Windows Fonts on Unix Mid-Tier for PDF, AFM License

Having read the many postings and Metalink articles on this issue is it sounds like I need only the AFM files on the Unix side for Oracle Reports to accurately render the real-estate on the report (for PDF) and that the actual report/fonts will be rendered on the (Windows) client side. My question is: Does it violate the license of Microsoft fonts to generate the AFM files and deploy them on the Unix mid-tier since these are only the "metric files"? If not, has anybody actually purchased the licenses to put, say the Microsoft Office font set, on a Unix Oracle Reports box? Any problems or issues if you did?
Thanks

Thanks for the response Melissa
Why did you abandon the installation on windows then?
Could you get every component working on windows prior to moving over to Linux?
If you had everything working on Windows could you please tell me what setup you had i.e. what operating system, how much RAM etc.
I know you kindly gave your number so I could call you about this but I'll have to check with my boss before calling as I notice you are calling from the US.
We are only a very small oracle software development firm (in the UK) looking to add Collaboration Suite to our Portfolio.
Thanks again

CPUApr2007 Install - Inf/Mid-tier or both

I have a question.
I am getting ready to apply patches from the CPUApr2007. I am running Application Server 10.1.2.0.2 with 10.1.0.5 database. I am on Linux x86.
My question is:
How do I know if the patch pertains to the infrastructure and mid-tier or if it is just one of them.
Patch 5901877 applies to the database, however I have seen posts where it has been applied to the mid-tier also.
patch 5922120 - Has forms, reports and database. Has database bug fixes in it, and has bugs listed that are also listed in 5901877.
Do I apply both patches, applying 5901877 first, to both or just infrastructure? Then apply 5922120 to both infrastructure and mid-tier?
Thank you in advance.

Brian,

Bpel deployment fails for all processes that have revision other than 1.0.

Using: Release *10.1.3.3.1*
Hello All,
Bpel deployment fails for all processes that have revision other than *1.0*.
We have been attempting to deploy several BPEL projects via ANT script to a target environment and are encountering failures to deploy for every project which isn’t a (revision 1.0). We are getting the following error whenever we try to deploy a process with a revision other than 1.0:

The structure of our automated deployment script is as follows:
First, a batch script calls (Jdeveloper_BPEL_Prompt.bat) in order to set all necessary environment variables i.e. ORACLE_HOME, BPEL_HOME, ANT_HOME, etc for ant.
Next, the script lists every .jar file within the directory to an .ini file called BPEL_List.ini. Furthermore, BPEL_DIR, ADMIN_USER and ADMIN_PSWD variables are set and initialized respectively to:
-     “.” – point to directory where script is running from because all the BPEL processes are located here
-     “oc4jadmin”
-     “*********” (whatever the password for out environment is)
We’ve developed a method to have the script prompt the user to select the target environment to deploy to. Once the user selects the appropriate environment, the script goes through the BPEL_List.ini files and a loop tells it that for every BPEL process listed:
DO ant
-Dprocess.name=%%b
-Drev= !Rev!
-Dpath=%BPEL_DIR%
-Ddomain=default
-Dadmin.user=%ADMIN_USER%
-Dadmin.password=%ADMIN_PWD%
-Dhttp.hostname=%HOST%
-Dhttp.port=%PORT%
-Dverbose=true
(What’s happening is that the variables in the batch file are being passed on to the ANT script where *%%b* is the process name, !rev! is revision #, and so on…)
The loop goes through each line in the BPEL_List.ini and tokenizes the BPEL process into 3 parts *(%%a, %%b, and %%c)* but we only extract 2 parts: *%%b* (process name) and *%%c* which becomes !Rev! (revision number).
Example:
Sample BPEL process:
bpel_ThisIsProcess1_1.0.jar
bpel_ThisIsProcess2_SOAv2.19.0.001B.jar
After tokenizing:
%%a     %%b     %%c
bpel     ThisIsProcess1     1.0.jar
bpel     ThisIsProcess2     SOAv2.19.0.001B.jar
*!Rev!* and not *%%c* because *%%c* will return whatever the revision number is + the “.jar” file extension as illustrated above. So to circumvent this, we parse *%%c* so that the last 4 characters are stripped. Such is done like this:
set RevN=%%c
set RevN=!RevN:~0,-4!
Hence, the usage of !Rev!.
Below is a screenshot post of the ANT build.xml that goes with our script:


<project name="bpel.deploy" default="deployProcess" basedir=".">

SUMMARY OF ISSUE AT HAND:
~ Every bpel process w/ 1.0 revision deploys with no problems
~ At first I would get an invalid character error most likely due to the “!” preceding “Rev”, but then I decided to set rev=”false” in the build.xml file. That didn’t work quite well. In another attempt, I decided to leave the –Drev= attribute within the batch script blank. That still led to 1.0s going through. My next thought was deploying something other than a 1.0, such as 1.2 or 2.0 and that’s when I realized that if it wasn’t a 1.0, it refused to go through.
QUESTIONS:
1.     IS THERE A WAY TO HAVE ANT LOOK INTO THE BPEL PROCESS AND PULL THE REVISION ID?
2.     WHAT ARE WE DOING WRONG? ARE WE MISSING ANYTHING?
3.     DID WE GO TOO FAR? MEANING, IS THERE A MUCH EASIER WAY WE OVERLOOKED/FORGOT/OR DON’T KNOW ABOUT THAT EXISTS?

Only thing i can think of is instead of using a MAC ACL , u cud jus use the default class
Policy Map Test
class class-default
police 56000 8000 exceed-action drop
Class Map match-any class-default (id 0)
Match any
You would be saving a MAC-ACL ;-).

Advice Needed for Audio and MIDI Controller Software

I am hoping someone may be able to give me advice on how I should approach my problem.
I am currently running a live show with audio backing tracks and a small 12 par lighting system. The light system can be controlled via standard MIDI. I am using iTunes to play back sets of backing tracks, and manually controlling the lighting system using a dedicated foot controller.
What I would like to do, is be able to use software to simultaneously play audio files and perfectly sync the lighting (fades, shots, etc. via midi) with the audio track. Ideally, I would be able to have the audio/lighting paired as discreet entities that could be grouped into sets.
i.e.
Audio-MIDI_1 = Audiotrack1 would always be paired with Lightcontroller_MIDI_events1
Audio-MIDI_2 = Audiotrack2 would always be paired with Lightcontroller_MIDI_events2
Audio-MIDI_3 = Audiotrack3 would always be paired with Lightcontroller_MIDI_events3
I could the create a set of Audio-MIDI_x tracks which could be triggered in any order.
I would like to have to option to be able to activate a single track, or have a complete group of tracks activated sequentially (but be able to stop the and start the group as needed - you never know what will happen in a live situation). It would be nice to have a time-line UI as well.
Now the final requirement: it should be able to run on a PISMO PowerBook. <cringe>
I hope I am not too confusing.
I am thinking MainStage would not be the software for this task as Leo is not an option for the Powerbook.
I have looked at QLab and showcontrolpro, but I don't think theses are right for me either.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
TIA

Gary,
With a Pismo you really are confined. I've been using some software from Alien Apparatus called Solo Performer Show Controller (www.alienapparatus.com) and it has a timeline to sequence lights where you can run 32 channels of midi or dmx lighting. The only setback is it needs at least a 1 GHZ processor. There may be a company like Sonnet that has an upgrade for your processor.
The software is able to run backing tracks, send midi controls to effects units or other software, send hotkeys for apps, synchronize lyrics in a window or on an external monitor, controls a dmx fog machine, and also has a six button usb foot controller which can be configured for many things such as scrolling your songlist to select the next song, change volume of tracks, change a light scene, send a hotkey, trigger samples, etc. It is a bit pricey at just under 600 dollars but the foot control is durable, the company has excellent support and they listen to users to add features to the software.
Hope this helps

Does anybody know how to circumvent this deployment failure?

Frank I assume you have now succesfully installed the schemas in your 10g database and went on to install BPEL on the AS midtier. I assume you have the 10.1.2 production midtier (j2ee & webcache) installed?
Please add the relevant part of the install log file.
Sandor,

Yes I was able to install irca.zip file - indeed there was java command line example in there.

The reason for that could be that I need to startup the BPEL server. But that would confuses me since the oc4j container is running and I can connect to the BPEL console. At the same time if I look in the startorabpel.bat the olite lines are still active and within data-sources.xml file the Oracle9i lines are inactive - although I have provided the Oracle10g schema during the installation. Hopefully you are still with me and are able to shed some light on this,

Error Deploying BPEL process to Mid Tier

I'm having problems deploying a jar to midtier.
When I attempt to deploy the jar of my BPEL process to a 10.1.2.0 GA mid-tier BPEL instance using the console's "deploy new process" I get the following error message.
The BPEL process works and deploys with no problems on a 10.1.2.0 GA Developer's install (same machine). I have tried deploying it both from JDev and the console after un-deploying it manually. Both of these work fine in the Developers install.
Thanks,
Craig
Deploy New BPEL Process
bpel_AddressChangeValidate_2.0.jar failed to deploy.
Error deploying BPEL archive. An error occurred while attempting to deploy the BPEL archive file "bpel_AddressChangeValidate_2.0.jar"; the exception reported is: Problem 1: [putFTP.wsdl]: null

Figured it out...
The problem was I forgot to copy the FTP connect info
into the midtier FtpAdapter oc4j-ra.xml file.
Is there an out of the box way for low level config
like this to be included in the JAR file?Nope not right now. We are working on what we can do to fix this going forwards in a later release.
>
One interesting note, I was able to "deploy" my
process by copying the JAR file directly into the
deployment folder... What is the difference between
doing this and using "deploy new process" from the
console?When going the console route, it goes through an additional deployment time validation check which you were able to bypass by copying the jar directly into the deployment folder.
You may have been hitting a bug in the validation code, otherwise you should have really seen the error message asking you to potentially fix the jndi entry in oc4j-ra.xml.

Where did the iFS Javadoc webpages go?

The Javadoc webpages of iFS APIs seem to have vaporized early last week. Can someone please point to their new home? they were not easy to find in the first place, but now I am having no luck at all.
Thanks,
-Jeff

I'm trying very hard to just create a new versioned document in IFS 9.0.2 via APIs. Unfortunately, I'm running into problems at many different points:
If I don't specify a content string, I get:
oracle.ifs.common.IfsException: IFS-30002: Unable to create new LibraryObject
oracle.ifs.common.IfsException: IFS-31803: No Content specified in ContentObjectDefinition
If I leave the file out of the DocDef, I get a different error:
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: long oracle.jdbc.dbaccess.DBAccess.lobWrite(oracle.sql.BLOB, long, byte[])
Even if this were to work, embedded within the code, there is quirky behaviour coming from the order of establishing Documents, VersionsSeries, and Families. I know you guys are trying to maintain flexability, but the structures listed in the book have hidden sequential dependencies (difficult coupling issues). It's not well documented, making these APIs very difficult to use without a lot of insider knowledge. It's great that you all can agree as to where I should go for examples, but you have not clearly communicated to me where I can see these examples. This is the same as when I asked for javadocs. please be kinder to me, I can't read your minds or participate in your internal communication. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate all the help, but I am not making great progress on this side. With all of the quirkiness my company has experienced with iFS's Java APIs, we've decided to isolate and eliminate 80% of the extra methods provided. We are trying to wrap the remaining 20% into a highly reliable Interface & Implementation. The I/F is easy to define, but even just sifting through and using the ifs bean classes for implementation is proving difficult.

Had to restart information store service. Caused by throttling?? Event ID 1010 from ManagedAvailability, any where else to look for error logs?

For some reason we had to restart the information store service. So far I came up with these logs from the
ManagedAvailability event logs. If there some where else to check for additional information? It looks like the throttling allowed a failover?!

Hi,
Based on this event log, I find the error “Error=Microsoft.Exchange.Cluster.Replay.AmDbMoveOperationNotSupportedStandaloneException” and error “Error: This operation is not supported on standalone mailbox servers.”
This error seems that there is unsupported configuration in your Exchange deployment.
I will be very glad to help if you explain your Exchange server deployment for more details.
Thanks.

Change deployment package for software updates

Hi there
Currently we have different deployment packages and software update groups based on year, product, etc.
In the near future i'd like to rearange our software deployment process in configuration manager 2012:
1x Deployment Package for all updates
1x "Full" Software Update Groups with all updates in it. Additional to that we'll create a "Diff" Software Update Group at the Patchday and merge the updates later via edit membership in the "Full" Software Update Group.
Are the following steps which i would perform correct?
1. Select all updates which are deployed and not expired and not superseeded
2. Create a new Software Update Group "Full"
3. Select the new Software Update Group --> Download --> Create my new deployment package
4. Deploy the new software update group to my collections
5. Delete the obsolete software update groups / deployment package
6. Delete the old updates source folders on our filer.
I current don't know if the redownload process let the updates "forget" the old deployment package. With the above described steps i should get rid of all expired and superseeded updates.
Thanks for any advice :-)
Regards,
Simon

That is correct they only receive and install the updates they require, but don't confuse the metadata and deployments with the updates themselves. They will still receive the metadata and the policies for every update you deploy to them and that's where
the problem lies. Each and every update assigned to a client (using a deployment) has it's own policy which of course must be downloaded by the client and stored in WMI causing the bloat. Note that I haven't experienced this first-hand but am relying on the
accounts of others here in the forums but to me, if there is any chance of this being an issue, I would avoid it.
For Update Groups, just a few categories is sufficient to break things up and I typically do three: workstations, server, office. These are often on different patching schedules anyway so it makes sense to have three separate ADRs for them anyway.
For packages, I typically organize based on the calendar creating a new package every 3-6 months with the package containing all updates. There's really no need to divide the package up by product unless you have DPs dedicated to a specific product. Note
that pre-R2, to change the package an ADR referenced you had to use PowerShell -- it's been added into the GUI in R2 though.

How do I keep my Patch names for my external Midi instruments when starting

Whenever I start a new project all the names in the different banks are just numbers.
I use a JV-2080 with expansion cards which represent close to 2000 patch names in 11 banks.
(I have some other Midi instruments too with their banks)
I have a "basic setup" project where all the patches for all the instruments are loaded, and until I know a better way, I always start with that "basic setup" and then modify it and "save as" a new project.
Is that the only way? or is there a way to automatically load all the patch names in the Multi Instrument window?
I find it very annoying that I cannot start a project from scratch, without having to copy and paste hundreds of patch names.
I read somewhere in the manual that "initializing" the banks in the Multi Instrument Window, occupies extra memory. I find this comment very strange because the text file containing all my patch names is only 24kB just a drop in the bucket.
Or am i missing something?

The whole point of autoload temapltes is you setup a Logic song to contain all the stuff you need, environment configuration, patch names, track assignments and so on, so whenever you load Logic or start a new song, all your stuff is instantly there.
Think of it like a real studio - when you start a new song, you don't unpack all your gear from boxes, put them on shelves, and wire them up etc before you start - that stuff is all done once beforehand. You just turn them on, and go.
Same with Logic - it loads your startup template with all your stuff in it, so you can immediately just start doing music, with no futzing necessary.

Dev - UAT - Prod env migration

Hi Experts,
Apps 7.9.6 OM module is already implemented on the Sun Solaris sandbox . Could you please help me how can I migrate the existing OM module to the UAT & Prod env. I would appreciate it if you can tell what effort is required to do this.
Thanks,
Kris.

Hi everyone
We finished implementing BI Apps for HR, Finance, Supply Chain, Procurement and Service modules. I am also interested in the best practice of migrating this to a UAT and subsequently Prod environments.
Any thoughts?

Where to deploy iFS for PROD env: mid-tier or inf-tier?
