Stephen Weblog

The significant architecture changes from 11.1.1.3 to 11.1.2 are:

WebLogic has replaced Apache Tomcat as the embedded application server for all EPM Web
applications.

The default Web server for front-ending all applications is Oracle HTTP Server (OHS)
instead of Apache.

Shared Services and EPM Workspace are now deployed to the same Managed Server called
Foundation Services Web application (and share port 28080).

For Reporting and Analysis:

The Financial Reporting Server and the Financial Reporting RMI Registry are now part
of the Financial Reporting Web application.

The Financial Reporting Scheduler has been merged into the Financial Reporting Web
application.

A new Web application called the Reporting and Analysis Framework Web application
has been introduced. This Web application includes the Reporting and Analysis plug-
in to EPM Workspace. This Web application uses port 45000.

The Configuration and Monitoring Console (CMC) has been merged into the Reporting
and Analysis Framework Web application. The CMC Agent is now called Reporting and
Analysis Framework Agent.

EPM Workspace Services are now renamed to Reporting and Analysis Framework
Services.

The EPM Workspace Web application port has been changed from 45000 to 28080.

For Essbase:
Essbase Server can now be managed using OPMN to start and stop services.

Essbase now supports active-passive failover without Oracle Clusterware. You can use

EPM System Configurator to configure Essbase in an active-passive failover
configuration with write-back capability.

Two new products have been introduced: Financial Close Management and Disclosure
Management.

For Financial Management, a new Web application called Financial Management Web
Services Web application has been added to support Financial Close Management.

For Shared Services:

OpenLDAP has been removed as Native Directory, and the architecture has been
simplified to use a relational schema in a relational database.

The Jakarta Slide component has been removed.

Shared Services now supports an active-active cluster configuration.

Shared Services no longer releases Hyperion Remote Access Module (HRAM).

/tobapi/inst/apps/TOBAPI_auohsobap01/ora/10.1.3/Apache/Apache/bin/apachectl startssl: execing httpd
Syntax error on line 264 of /tobapi/inst/apps/TOBAPI_auohsobap01/ora/10.1.3/Apache/Apache/conf/httpd.conf:
Cannot load /tobapi/product/1013/Apache/Apache/libexec/mod_ossl.so into server: /tobapi/product/1013/Apache/Apache/libexec/mod_ossl.so: undefined symbol: dbm_firstkey

Fix
—–
1. Comment the ssl.conf and ssl_terminator in the httpd.conf and bounce services.

XML Publisher is deployed with WebLogic 11g (10.3.3), when we did Scheduler Configuration it failed with the below error

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: oracle/xml/parser/schema/XSDElement at java.lang.Class.getDeclaredConstructors0(Native Method) at java.lang.Class.privateGetDeclaredConstructors(Class.java:2389) at java.lang.Class.getConstructor0(Class.java:2699) at java.lang.Class.newInstance0(Class.java:326) at java.lang.Class.newInstance(Class.java:308)

Fix
—-
In setDomain.env set this classpath
export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:/dthy1o/fmw/bipub/product/101341/xmlp/xmlpserver/WEB-INF/lib/xmlparserv2.jar

After performing a fresh installation of Fusion Middleware 11g on Linux 64 bit, configuration fails when attempting to start WebCache with the following error in the $MW_HOME/<instance home>/diagnostics/WebCache/webcache1/event_log file:

[2009-11-12T10:28:03+01:00] [webcache] [ERROR:1] [WXE-13305] [frontend] [ecid: ] Failed to assign port 7788: Address family not supported by protocol
[2009-11-12T10:28:03+01:00] [webcache] [ERROR:1] [WXE-09707] [main] [ecid: ] Failed to start the server.

1. backup the $MW_HOME/<instance home>/config/WebCache/webcache1/webcache.xml file
2. add the <IPV6 ENABLED=”NO”/> tag below the </MULTIPORT> tag  as in the following example:

<MULTIPORT>
<LISTEN IPADDR=”ANY” PORT=”7785″ PORTTYPE=”NORM”/>
<LISTEN IPADDR=”ANY” PORT=”7789″ PORTTYPE=”NORM” SSLENABLED=”SSL”>
<WALLET>/refresh/fmw11/Oracle_WT1/instances/instance2/config/WebCache/webcache1/keystores/default</WALLET>
</LISTEN>
<LISTEN IPADDR=”ANY” PORT=”7786″ PORTTYPE=”ADMINISTRATION”/>
<LISTEN IPADDR=”ANY” PORT=”7788″ PORTTYPE=”INVALIDATION”/>
<LISTEN IPADDR=”ANY” PORT=”7787″ PORTTYPE=”STATISTICS”/>
</MULTIPORT>
<IPV6 ENABLED=”NO”/>
<EVENTLOGDIR LOGDIR=”/refresh/fmw11/Oracle_WT1/instances/instance2/diagnostics/logs/WebCache/webcache1″ BUFFERENABLED=”YES” BUFFERSIZE=”2048″ FLUSHINTERVAL=”10″>

3. Restart WebCache and verify it can be started up now.

Install -  WebLogic 9.3 MP3 + OTM6.0.2
After install steps, started the OTM services, but getting the following error:

I didn’t find any relavant info on webiv/metalink for this error!!

Fix
——-
Copy wsdl4j.jar to $GLOG_HOME/gc3webapp/WEB-INF/lib/3rdparty, and then re-start services. Issue was fixed.

Thanks,

I personally typed one status message on my gtalk “Dont talk about female rights one day in the year”

This sums up the entire day for me

Fun and Fun.. I am back in after a while,

Two big guys were discussing something in the hall in my PG, and I was sitting in my room as usual doing something with my lapi. Suddenly I hear some voice in hall, hence I poked my ear in their conversation. Below is what I listen and could not control my laugh after that

Both (Uncle’s) were watching TV:

U1 - Hay U2 do you know who these two people are (coming in TV)?
U2 - Yes, I know
U1 - Oh!!
U2 - Yes, this is a boy and that is a girl!!!
U1 - Oh.. not that (on a serious note), I am asking do you know them or not?
U2 - No I dont know…

I have been seeing this issue off late during the starup of weblogic server in few Siebel instance, when you start up weblogic server it will fail with the below error message, cause be you killing the poor weblogic process. Reason for kill is being “We stopped Managed Server and it errors out so went for kill -9″. If Managed Weblogic fails to stop, debug it further instead of going for the kill.

If you kill wls few things we need to take care of before starting it back.

1. It will setup .lok files for Admin Server, Managed Servers, and ldap (EmbeddedLDAP.lok)
2. It will also have few persistence store files and it will get corrupt.

Solution:
======
Move _WLS*.DAT (generated under diagnostics folder) and *.lok files (generated under tmp folder under Admin Server)
and restart the server back again and it will recreate those files again.

-bash-3.2$ find . -name “WLS_DIA*”
-bash-3.2$ find . -name “*.lok”

Fix
—–
Place <enforce-valid-basic-auth-credentials>false</enforce-valid-basic-auth-credenti als> before closing the </security-configuration> section in %HYPERION_HOME%\deployments\WebLogic9\config\config.xml

Then bounce WLS, if it does not work still bounce Planning and Workspace also.
