Ant Script to start server and deploy application

Following ant script will: a) start the server (wlserver ant task) b) deploy application on the application from the server

Deployment Plan

Overriding value using Deployment Plan

We can override the values of the deployement descriptors at the runtime using plan.xml. Following are the steps which can be followed to override context-root of the application specified in the weblogic.xml:

1) My weblogic.xml looks as follows:






I want to change the context-root from virtual to TestApp at runtime.

2) Create a deployment plan using weblogic.PlanGenerator as follows:

java weblogic.PlanGenerator -all -plan Plan.xml Virtual.war

This will generate Plan.xml outside the archived application.

3) Plan.xml contains the values which can be overridden in the deployment descriptor at runtime. We can override the value of context-root at runtime as follows:










4) Now deploy the application using weblogic.Deployer as follows:

java weblogic.Deployer -adminurl t3://localhost:7001 -user weblogic -password weblogic -redeploy -name Virtual -source Virtual.war -targets AdminServer -plan Plan.xml

5) Test the application using the following URL:

http://localhost:7001/TestApp

Default URL of application:
http://localhost:7001/Virtual

At runtime the value of context-root was overridden to TestApp.

Cluster Unicast messaging mode

UNICAST messaging mode

WLS10.x onwards there are 2 messaging modes of cluster: Unicast and Multicast. According to the following document Unicast is the recommended messaging mode though there have been many issues reported.

http://download-llnw.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11035_01/wls100/cluster/features.html

a) In Unicast messaging mode, cluster members are split into groups and every group has a group leader. Cluster members communicate to the group leader when they need to send a broadcast message which is usually the heartbeat message. When the cluster members detect the failure of a group leader, the next oldest member becomes the group leader. All group leaders are connected to each other.

b) The frequency of communication in unicast mode is similar to the frequency of sending messages on multicast port.

Unicast messaging mode Model:

Unicast Configuration:

Default Network Channel:

While creating a cluster choose Unicast as the messaging mode. If we leave the ‘Unicast broadcast channel’ blank then default listening port of the server is used if no channel is configured.

Config.xml looks like follows when default network channel is in use:

In the standard out of managed servers we will get the following message:

This means that the default channel will listen all the protocols.

Custom Network Channel:

For customer Network channels to be used with Unicast we need to create Network Channel by the same name under each server in cluster from Protocol > Channels

We can create custom network channels for different protocols. Protocol used by unicast is cluster-broadcast for communication. Use this custom channel name in the Unicast broadcast channel.

NOTE: For example, If you are configuring Network channel for different protocols say http, t3,iiop etc then cluster-broadcast will be one of the common protocol which will be default be configured along with other protocols. Hence, custom channel created for http, t3, iiop can be used as unicat broadcast channel.

Config.xml will have the following information where Channel-0 is the custom Network channel.

Here I configured Channel-0 for http protocol which is used as Unicast broadcast channel and I get the following message in the standard out of managed server:

While configuring channels other things that have that have to be taken care:

1) Listen Address, Listen port: If this is left blank then the server’s listen address will be taken as default address and port
2) External Address, External port: This is the address of firewall or loadbalancer if there is any.
3) HTTP enabled for this protocol: If you want that all http requests should be listen by the protocol for which network channel is configured then we need to keep this checked
4) Outbound Enabled: If this channel is going to listen to outbound traffic then this has to be checked

Refer: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E15051_01/wls/docs103/config_wls/network.html#wp1058979

Unicast Debug Flag:
-Dweblogic.debug.DebugUnicastMessaging

Testing Unicast connectivity

In Unicast, we do not have any utility check network issues. We can suggest the customer to change the messaging mode to Multicast and check for network issues if there are any using the multicast utility

Multicast or IP multicast is a simple broadcast technology that enables multiple applications to subscribe to a given IP address and port number and listen for messages. The IP/port combination is setup when the cluster is defined and server instances uses multicast for JNDI updates andcluster heartbeats. So using java utils.MulticastTest -n server1 -a 224.x.x.x –p 9001 We just check whether all the Nodes
available in the Cluster is able to communicate or not. It is actually testing at the N/W level.

Configuration: I-Planet as a proxy with Weblogic server

Steps To Configure WLS Plug-in in IPlanet Web Server

1. Install SunOne Web-Server.
2. Install WLS with the Plugin Option enabled.This option installs WLS with all the plugins files required for supported web-servers.
3. Refer BEA_HOME\weblogic92\server\plugin for plugin files.



















4. Navigate to appropriate OS and copy the IPlanet plug-in files.

5. Plug-in file for (IPlanet)Sun Server is proxy61.dll

6.Paste the proxy61.dll file in Sun Server’s plugin\lib folder(SUNHOME\WebServer6.1\plugins\lib).

7. The next is to edit the magnus.conf and obj.conf files of Sun Server and make entry for WLS plug-in(SUNHOME \WebServer6.1\https-beatest\config).

8. The entries that should be made in magnus.conf file are:

(1)A LoadModule entry in Loadmodule specification.

Init fn="load-modules" funcs="wl_proxy,wl_init" shlib="C:/Sun/WebServer6.1/plugins/lib/proxy61.dll"
Init fn="wl_init"

(2) Object specification in obj.conf for cluster environment.



127.0.0.1:7003,127.0.0.1:7005 is the cluster addresses to which the sun server redirects the request. The application is deployed on this cluster.

(3) Object specification in module configuration for single server.

9. After completing these specification start the Sun server.

10. Start the WLS admin server and all managed servers participating in the cluster.

11. Open the browser and type the request URL to the application deployed in the cluster.

Taking thread dumps for weblogic server

A) On Windows machine: cltr + break
On Unix Machine:
get pid using ps -ef grep java
kill -3
B) When weblogic is running as windows service
For Out file add in JAVA_OPTIONS:
-Dweblogic.Stdout=
a) Using beasvc :
beasvc –dump – svcname:”bea Admin_server”
b) Using Weblogic Admin utility
C:\bea\user_projects\domains\rDomain>java weblogic.Admin -url t3://localhost:7001 -username weblogic -password weblogic THREAD_DUMP
Thread Dump has been printed to the servers standard out (by default, the shell in which the server is running).

C) We can also collect thread dumps from the console:
Server > Monitoring > Threads > Dump Thread Stacks

D) Using WLST:
1) java weblogic.WLST
2) connect("weblogic","weblogic","t3:\\localhost:7001")
3) threadDump()
