Introduction As regular readers know, I am working on a .Net version of the custom worklist sample. As I work on this, I am playing with a few different things in .Net along the way, and it seemed like it would be worth sharing these. Ardent readers will recall that the Human Workflow APIs (generally under oracle.bpel package) have web services exposed, but the BPM APIs (generally under oracle.bpm) do not. In this post, we are looking only at the Human Workflow APIs, so...

Introduction Recently, I had the opportunity to read Yannick Ongena‘s new book, Oracle WebCenter 11g PS3 Administration Cookbook, from Packt Publishing. The book takes the form of a collection of ‘recipes’ – instructions on how to carry out common tasks and explanations of how they work. Main Article Those of you who read RedStack regularly will know that I am big believer in leveraging the experience of those who have gone before you, and not reninventing the wheel. ...

Last week I needed to duplicate a customer's OAM 11g environment to help understand and resolve a problem they were having and needed to simulate a config that looks like this: The numbers indicate the TCP port used on the server side. All of the red lines are HTTP. The green line (from OHS to the OAM Server) is the OAM NAP protocol. Unfortunately I don't have a load balancer (an F5 in this particular case) handy so I needed to be a bit creative. Apache, mod_proxy and a...

Introduction Recently, I was working with a customer who was developing an application on Windows (developer) machines and was planning to deploy to a (production) cluster of WebLogic Servers running on Solaris, with a hardware load balancer. In order to do some functional, load and availability testing of the application before deploying it into production, they needed to set up a cluster in their test environment, but they did not have access to a hardware load balancer in...

Introduction In this post, I will discuss some of the common JVM tuning & diagnostic parameters. Main Article I often get asked to recommend some JVM parameters for people running one (or more) of the Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g products – like BPM, SOA, UCM, WebCenter, etc. on top of WebLogic Server. Here are my current list of recommended settings and why I like them. -XX:+PrintGCTimeStamps -XX:+PrintGCDetails -Xloggc:gc.log These three settings will cause the JVM to print...

Introduction This post demonstrates how to expose an E-Business Suite interface as a web service, in this case the PL/SQL API for getting a price for a product. Once you have exposed a service, you are probably going to want to consume it! An excellent way to do that is to use the Oracle Service Bus, providing service virtualisation and loose coupling, as well as the ability to cache service results and provide a simpler interface to downstream service consumers, like user...

Introduction Don't forget to check the underlying JDK when diagnosing issues. Main Article I was talking to an architect at a new WebCenter installation over the last few days, they were having a lot of strange issues with pages not rendering correctly, parts of the page missing and the layout getting all messed up. Turns out the issue was due to a bug in the JDK version they were using, 1.6.0 update 18, and was resolved by upgrading to update 21. So, if you are installing...
