Execute commands remotely from unix shell

 

The ssh command on linux does not support passing the passwords at the command line ,

You need to use the sshpass command. It is a utility designed for running ssh using the mode referred to as "keyboard-interactive" password authentication, but in non-interactive mode. You can install it as follows:

rpm –ivh ftp://ftp.muug.mb.ca/mirror/fedora/epel/5/i386/sshpass-1.05-1.el5.i386.rpm

sshpass -p 'root-password' ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no  root@localhost " du  --exclude=/shared  --exclude=/shared2 -Sm / | sort -nr | head -10"

sshpass -p 'root-password' ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no  root@localhost " uptime "

Steps to Apply the JDeveloper stand alone patches

 

First download the standalone opatch using the patch number  5912518.
Assuming my JDev Home is : d:\fmw1115\Middleware\jdeveloper
copy d:\p5912518_111000_GENERIC.zip cd d:\fmw1115\Middleware\jdeveloper
cd d:\fmw1115\Middleware\jdeveloper
unzip -d . p5912518_111000_GENERIC.zip
set  ORACLE_HOME=d:\fmw1115\Middleware\jdeveloper
set PATH=d:\fmw1115\Middleware\jdeveloper\OPatch;%PATH%
cd C:\temp\13607268
First try ,
opatch version -jdk d:\fmw1115\Middleware\jdk160_24
Invoking Standalone OPatch 11.1.0.0.0
OPatch Version: 11.1.0.0.0
OPatch succeeded.
Now Apply the patch using ,
opatch apply -jdk d:\fmw1115\Middleware\jdk160_24
If you are applying the patch for the first time then you will see ,
> OPatch finds no 'product.xml' in Oracle Home and will attempt to create 'product.xml' file.
>
> Attempting to retrieve patch inventory's "product" and its "version" information...
>
> Please enter your choice to enable OPatch to create 'product.xml' file or quit creation...
>

How to measure the time it takes to load a web page

 

Many times you need to find out the how long a web page takes to load when troubleshooting performance related
problems.

Here are the steps that you can use with the WebLogic Server 11g.

Home >Summary of Servers >AdminServer
Click on Loggin TAB -> HTTP and go to the Advanced Options

Select the Format as "Extended"
and add the field " time-taken" to the Extended Logging Format Fields.
For example after adding it will be
"date time cs-method cs-uri sc-status time-taken"

After this you need to restart the Server ,

This is the WLST script to do the same ,

connect('weblogic', 'Welcome1', 't3://localhost:7001')
startEdit()

cd('/Servers/AdminServer/WebServer/AdminServer/WebServerLog/AdminServer')
cmo.setLogFileFormat('extended')
cmo.setELFFields('date time cs-method cs-uri sc-status time-taken')

activate()
disconnect()
exit()

After this you need to restart the Server ,

Check the access_log file entries ,

2012-03-09      14:19:16        GET     /em/faces/targetauth/emasLogin?target=Farm_soa_domain&type=oracle_ias_farm&FromContextInitFilter=true&_afrLoop=18992901037066&_afrWindowMode=0&_afrWindowId=null    200     0.066
2012-03-09      14:19:20        GET     /em/LoginStatusServlet?loginReqTime4emas=rlt_1331282958512_0.31560349677888955  2000.0040

The last column indicates the time.

You can measure the timings from browser also ,

for this use the FireFox version > 4.0 , here you can use the Tools-> Web Console or Tools -> Web Developer -> Web Console option.

Or you can use the fiddler tool to measure the time it takes to load web page ,
download the fiddler from ,
http://fiddler2.com/fiddler2/

Fiddle tool can be used with IE or firefox.

EJB Out Bound Example in SOA

 

1. Create a Simple EJB HelloWorld Application and deploy this to the WebLogic Server

Refer to the file below for the example ,

Hello EJB Example

2. Create a new composite and create a mediator component ,

3. In the External Reference drop the ejb Service and specify the EJB JNDI Binding Name  say

OS9SOAApplication-HelloEJB-HelloEJB#test.os9.model.HelloEJB

EJB-Jar file :

and Java Interface : test.os9.model.HelloEJB

4. Wire the EJB Outbound Service to the mediator and perform the XML transformations and run the example ,

Refer to the file in the link given below ,

Calling EJB from Mediator/BPEL

Simple inbound ejb example ,

 

1. Create a java file with the following contents

package test.os9;
//import javax.ejb.Remote;
//@Remote
public interface Hello {
public String sayHello(String input);
}

Compile this file , create a class file and create a jar file and copy the jar file to SCA-INF\lib directory

2. Create an EJB Binding in the Services lane, based on this Java interface. Specify the JNDI Name for this EJB. For example: ejb/EjbBind and select the above interface file and the jar

3. Create a Mediator with no interface definition and Wire this mediator to this EJB Service

4. Create a BPEL process and wire this to the Medaitor

5. Create the mappings for the mediator

6. Create an EJB Client with the following code ,

package test.os9;
import java.util.Hashtable;
import javax.naming.Context;
import javax.naming.InitialContext;
import javax.naming.NamingException;
public class EjbClient {
  public EjbClient() {
    super();
  }
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    EjbClient ejbClient = new EjbClient();
    try {
     final Context context = getInitialContext();
     Hello hello = (Hello)context.lookup("ejb/EjbBind");
     System.out.println(hello.sayHello("hello ravi"));
     } catch (Exception ex) {
     ex.printStackTrace();
     }
  }
  private static Context getInitialContext() throws NamingException {
  Hashtable env = new Hashtable();
  // WebLogic Server 10.x connection details
  env.put( Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "weblogic.jndi.WLInitialContextFactory" );
  env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "t3://xxx.xxx.oracle.com:7001");
    env.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL,"weblogic");
    env.put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS,"xxxxx");
  return new InitialContext( env );
  }
}

Add the following libraries to compile the class files 

   "EJB 3.0" and "WebLogic 10.3 Remote-Client"

Here is the example ,

How to Add a Hard Disk Space to Oracle VM

 

1. Create a 30GB file ,

dd if=/dev/zero of=fmw11g.img  bs=1024k count=30000

2. Add the file /OVM/linuxvm/fmw11g.img
to the vm.cfg file , for example ,

disk = ['file:/OVM/linuxvm/System.img,xvda,w','file:/OVM/linuxvm/fmw11g.img,xvdb,w',]

3. Now start the VM by using the command ,
xm create vm.cfg

4. In the fdisk -l command , you should be able to see this file ,

For example ,

fdisk -l

Disk /dev/xvda: 12.8 GB, 12884901888 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 1566 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

    Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/xvda1   *           1          13      104391   83  Linux
/dev/xvda2              14        1264    10048657+  83  Linux
/dev/xvda3            1265        1566     2425815   82  Linux swap / Solaris

Find out whether a Schema is Valid or Not

 

Some times in SOA you need to find out whether the schema you have designed/developed is valid and conforms to XML schema standards etc.

For this you can use the JDK 1.6 tool xjc.exe to check ,

%JDK_HOME%\bin\xjc.exe <your-schema-file> and check whether you are getting errors or not.
When I ran the xjc command with the original schmea , I got the errors
parsing a schema...
[ERROR] sch-props-correct.2: A schema cannot contain two global components with the same name; this schema contains two occurrences of 'party,IdentificationType'.
  line 45 of file:/D:/bugs-download/Bug12965191/restriction_example/restriction/schema-restriction/xsd/party/party.xsd
[ERROR] rcase-Recurse.2: There is not a complete functional mapping between the particles.

How to set the SOA composite name

 

By default no composite name is set when a SOA componenet gets executed.


XPath for Mediator components:
Use the the following XPath expression in an Assign value dialog when you define a routing rule.

med:setCompositeInstanceTitle(title string)

and use the following target tracking.compositeInstanceTitle.
Note: this property will not appear in the property selection dialog, but can be used though.


Java for BPEL components
Add an Embedded Java activity inside your process flow and add the following function to it:

setCompositeInstanceTitle(title string);
for example ,

In the java embeding add the following code ,

System.out.println("Hello, World 11 "+ new java.util.Date());
setCompositeInstanceTitle("Hello, World 11 "+ new java.util.Date());

Reference

http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E15523_01/integration.1111/e10226/soacompapp_mang.htm

 

For 10g use

System.out.println("Hello, World 11 "+ new java.util.Date());
setTitle("Hello, World 11 "+ new java.util.Date());

Install VmWare ESXI Server from USB

 

1) Format the US Drive with fat32.
2) Get Syslinux, not the version 4, but an older version. Use 3.86 from http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/3.xx/
Version 4 can give you an error on boot, "invalid c32 image".
3) Run syslinux: syslinux.exe -m -f -a G: (G: being the drive letter).
4) Get the ESXi iso,  VMware-VMvisor-Installer-4.1.0.update1-348481.x86_64.iso
5) Extract the iso, using the 7-Zip and copy contents to usb drive
6) Rename isolinux.cfg to syslinux.cfg
7) Modify the syslinux.cfg, add "ks=usb" after vmkboot.gz

For example ,

append vmkboot.gz ks=usb --- vmkernel.gz --- sys.vgz --- cim.vgz --- ienviron.vgz --- install.vgz

8) Create the ks.cfg file in the USB root directory with the following contents

vmaccepteula
rootpw Welcome1
autopart --firstdisk --overwritevmfs
install usb
network --bootproto=dhcp --device=vmnic0

9) Boot it from the USB and install the ESXi software

Installing VMware ESXi on a USB Memory Stick

1.The first thing you’ll need is a spare USB memory stick. I used 1 8GB USB drive for this. But 4GB or 2GB is also sufficient for this.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         2.  The next step is to download ESXi from VMware here and burn if off onto CD.

3. Now insert the USB memory stick into a USB port which is able to be booted.
Though at this stage make sure that your server can boot from the CD/DVD drive.

4. Insert the CD containing the ESXi install into the servers CD/DVD drive and boot or restart the server.
Choose the default options.

5. At this stage you will see a list of all your storage devices connected to your VMware ESXi host – select your USB memory stick and press 'Enter'

6. Wait while the ESXi is written down to your USB flash drive – at this point you should see it flashing away
                                                                                                                                                                                                        
7. Once the installation has completed you will receive the screen below.  At this point remove the ESXi installation CD from the servers CD/DVD drive and press ‘Enter’ to reboot the server.
IMPORTANT: Upon the server rebooting ensure that its boot priority order is set so that the USB port(s) are booted from first.


Your server should now be booting successfully off of the USB memory stick to VMware ESXi  4 – all you need to do now is configure it!

After this you have to create a VMFS file system that can be used as a data store ,

For this you need to create a VMFS file system. First run the command ,

fdisk -l

And run the command
fdisk /dev/disks/t10.ATA_____WDC_WD10EARS2D00Y5B1__________________________WD2DWCAV5H240740

and create a partion , and specify the format type as "fb". This is for the VMFS file system.

In the fdisk , type "t". It will ask you for partition number. This is where that first fdisk is useful. You need to know what the new partition number is.
It will be one more than the last number on fdisk. Type this number in

You will now be prompted for the hex code for the partition type. You can also type "L" for a list of codes. The code you want is "fb". So type "fb" in the space. This will return that the partition has been changed to fb (unknown).

Now run the command to create the VMFS file system ,

vmkfstools -C vmfs3 -S storage1 /vmfs/devices/disks/vml.0100000000202020202057442d574341563548323430373430574443205744:9

If you do not specify the VMFS file system , while creating the vmfs file system you may get the error as ,

Now in the VMWare VSphere Client you can see the datastore.
