Clustering JNDI Resource Adapters JDBC Security Self Tuning

Understanding Oracle Fusion Middleware
Oracle Fusion Middleware is a misleading term
Used to describe middleware products such as:
Business Intelligence (e.g., OBIEE, Discoverer)
Integration (e.g., SOA Suite, OSB)
Web Center (Web Center Content and Portal)
Identity Management (e.g., Oracle Access Manager)
Monitoring (e.g., OEM Grid Control)
But usually used to describe a single product:
WebLogic Server

Oracle Fusion Middleware Overview

Java Enterprise Edition (Java EE) application server
Acquired from BEA in 2008
Replaced old school Oracle Application Server
Required for almost all Oracle Fusion Middleware products
Supports the deployment of many distributed applications
Provides a standard set of APIs for creating distributed Java
applications that can access a wide variety of services such as
JMS, JDBC, RMI, Web Services, XML, EJB etc.

Domain base_domain
AdminServer
Logically related group of WebLogic Server
instances that can be managed from a single
set of configuration files soa_cluster
Domain consists of: soa_server1
Servers soa_server2
Clusters of servers
Each Domain requires an Administration Server osb_cluster
All managed servers in a cluster must be part of osb_server1

same domain
osb_server2
Domain can spread across many machines but
the WebLogic version has to be the same

Administration Server (aka AdminServer)
Controls configuration for the domain
Only one AdminServer per domain Admin Console
AdminServer can only control one domain

soa_server1
Hosts the Administration Console
soa_server2
Enables you to start and stop servers from
AdminServer
a central location
osb_server1
Enables you to migrate servers and

config.xml osb_server2
services within the domain
Enables you to deploy applications within
the domain
Managed Server
Managed Servers host business applications,
application components, web services, and their JNDI
soa_server1
associated resources
JMS Queue
Each Managed Server can function independent
config.xml
of other Managed Servers in the domain JDBC Pool
Managed Servers do not share resources such

JDBC, JMS and connection factories
Individual Managed Servers are typically added osb_server1

JNDI
for capacity and application isolation

JDBC Pool
Each Managed Server stores a local copy of its config.xml
configuration

Cluster
A cluster is a group of Managed Servers
running simultaneously and working
together to provide: AdminServer
Scalability: through parallelism Port 7001
Reliability/Availability: through replication
and redundancy soa_cluster
A Cluster is part of a single domain and Port 8001 Port 8001
each domain can contain multiple clusters

osb_cluster
Domain can contain clustered and non- osb_server1 osb_server2
clustered managed servers Port 8011 Port 8011
Machine Apple Machine Kiwi

Clusters enable some advanced features,
such as Whole Server Migration, Service
Migration, and clustered JMS destinations
Load Balancing in a Cluster
JSPs and Servlets load balancing is external
Web server proxy plug-in (round robin)
HTTP proxy servlet (i.e., using WLS as a load balancer)
3rd party hardware or software load balancer (F5 Big IP LTM or Cisco CSM)
EJBs and RMI Objects load balancing is done at connection

Objects are cluster-aware
Load balancing algorithm is stored in the clustered objects stub
Objects are available on all cluster members; remote objects connect/use according
the LB algorithm in the stub
Load balancing algorithms: Round robin, weighted, random, server affinity

Failover in a Cluster
Servlets and JSPs:
HTTP session state is replicated to a secondary server in the cluster
or to a database
EJBs and RMI Objects:

Replicas available throughout the cluster
Exceptions caught and retried on another instance
For Stateful Session Beans, state is replicated on a secondary server

Node Manager
Node
Process running on a physical server that enables Manager
Port 5556
you to start, stop, suspend, and restart WebLogic
Server instances remotely soa_server1
Port 8001
Runs on each physical server that hosts WebLogic Machine Apple
Server instances
Not associated with a domain. Can start any server
instance that resides on the same physical server. Node
Manager
Node Manager is optional, but required to start/stop Port 5556
servers using the Administration Console
soa_server2
Required for Whole Server Migration and for some Port 8001
configurations of Automatic Service Migration Machine Banana

Machine
A definition that identifies a particular,
soa_server1
physical piece of hardware
A machine definition is used to associate a SOAHOST1
computer with the Managed Servers it hosts unixdev2.raastech.com
Used by Node Manager in restarting a failed

Managed Server
Used by a clustered Managed Server in soa_server2
selecting the best location for storing
replicated session data SOAHOST2

</jdbc-data-source>

Two-Phase Configuration Changes
Changes activated in batches for: reliability & consistency
Make (related) changes as a group
Validate before making the change
Activate or rollback as a single unit (all changes on all servers)
General process:
1. Lock & Edit
2. Make changes
Changes are stored in the pending directory
3. Activate your changes (with implicit validation through the Admin
Console or WLST)
Changes are distributed to servers in the domain
Two phases: prepare & commit
Prepared on all servers; any failures will cause total rollback

Configuration Wizard
1. Install software:
/u01/app/oracle/fmw12c
2. Create domain using configuration wizard:

/u01/app/oracle/fmw12c/user_projects/domains/devdomain
3. (optional) Create another domain using configuration wizard:

/u01/app/oracle/fmw12c/user_projects/domains/testdomain

File system: Single Node Manager binaries
and logs for this entire host
/u01/app/oracle/fmw12c
/oracle_common
/common
AdminServer running on port 7001
/nodemanager
Has its own copy of config.xml
/user_projects
/domains
/devdomain
AdminServer running on port 7003
/testdomain Has its own copy of config.xml
/wlserver This domain is managed completely
independently of the other one, but they
WebLogic binaries both share the same WebLogic binaries

Wizard that walks you through domain creation offline
Not intended to run against a running domain
WLS ships with a default template and templates for samples
domains
Customers and layered products can create their own templates
Domain creation can be automated using WLST Scripts
Platform or Operating System Independent
Is used for creation of clustered and non-clustered domains
Is also used for extending an existing domain to add new managed
servers, components and features



Administration console can be accessed through:
http://hostname:7001/console
Administration Console is used for:

Configure, start, and stop Managed Server instances
Configure WebLogic Server clusters
Configure WebLogic Server services, such as database
connectivity (JDBC) and messaging (JMS)
Configure security parameters, including managing users,
groups, and roles
Configure and deploy your applications
Monitor server and application performance
View server and domain log files
View application deployment descriptors
Edit selected run-time application deployment descriptor elements
Control (start, stop, and restart) managed Coherence servers
Create and configure Coherence clusters


WebLogic Scripting Tool (WLST)
Scripting tool for administering a domain (create, configure, manage, monitor, deploy
applications)
Based on Jython, which is a pure Java implementation of Python
Great for automating repetitive tasks
WLST online commands do not require a WebLogic Installation
Can run with little to no change across different operating systems

WebLogic Scripting Tool (WLST)
export ORACLE_HOME=/u01/oracle/products/fmw12c
export WL_HOME=${ORACLE_HOME}/wlserver
$WL_HOME/common/bin/wlst.sh
wls:/offline> startNodeManager()
startServer('AdminServer', 'soa_domain', 't3://adminhost:7001', 'weblogic',
'welcome1', '/u01/oracle/products/fmw12c/user_projects/domains/my_domain',
'true', 60000, 'false')
wls:/offline> connect('weblogic', 'welcome1', 't3://adminhost:7001')
wls:/soa_domain/serverConfig> start('soa_server1', 'Server')
wls:/soa_domain/serverConfig> start('soacluster', 'Cluster')

Node Manager Verification
Check running process:
ps -ef | grep NodeManager | grep v grep
If nothing is returned, then Node Manager is likely not running. Otherwise this output will appear:
oracle 24081 21990 0 05:38 pts/1 00:00:00 /bin/sh ./startNodeManager.sh
oracle 24083 24081 0 05:38 pts/1 00:00:00 /bin/sh /u01/share/
middleware/oracle/wlserver/server/bin/startNodeManager.sh

-XX:MaxPermSize=128m ... -Dweblogic.nodemanager.JavaHome=/u01/share/
middleware/jdk1.7.0_15 weblogic.NodeManager -v
Confirm a log entry similar to the following in the NodeManager.out log file:
<Aug 25, 2014 5:38:47 AM EDT> <INFO> <Secure socket listener started on
port 5556, host localhost/127.0.0.1>
Check port listening:

netstat -an | grep LISTEN | grep 5556 | grep -v grep
tcp 0 0 ::ffff:127.0.0.1:5556 :::* LISTEN

Managed Server (and AdminServer) Verification
Check running process:
ps -ef | grep AdminServer | grep -v grep
If nothing is returned, then AdminServer is likely not running. Otherwise this output will appear:
oracle 24320 24243 3 05:40 pts/1 00:06:00 /u01/share/middleware/
jdk1.7.0_15/bin/java -client -Xms768m -Xmx1536m -XX:PermSize=256m
-XX:MaxPermSize=768m -Dweblogic.Name=AdminServer ...
Check port listening:

netstat -an | grep LISTEN | grep 7001 | grep -v grep
tcp 0 0 ::ffff:72.178.505.215:7001 :::* LISTEN

tcp 0 0 ::1:7001 :::* LISTEN
tcp 0 0 ::ffff:127.0.0.1:7001 :::* LISTEN
tcp 0 0 fe80::20c:29ff:fe54:7c:7001 :::* LISTEN
Check nohup.out (or server.out) log file should have the following entry:
<Aug 25, 2014 5:45:11 AM EDT> <Notice> <WebLogicServer> <BEA-000360> <The server
started in RUNNING mode.>

Managed Server (and AdminServer) Verification
Check state through WLST:
wls:/offline> connect('weblogic','welcome1')
wls:/soa_domain/serverConfig> state("soa_server1")
Current state of "soa_server1" : RUNNING

versions you can use web sockets
Requires JDK
Requires shared filesystem or a DB for setting up highly available
clusters

Key Things to Consider
Plan your environment based on the key business factors
Functionality
Availability
Throughput
Future Growth / Easy Scaling
Implement the best practices starting with lower environments
Automate every task that can be automated
Secure environments to avoid non-functional and human breaches
All environments need to have a backup and recovery plan
