Introduction This blog post describes how to create networks on Exalogic. Main Article In the majority or Real World scenarios we will need to access the Virtual Servers running within the Exalogic from an external client network. To facilitate this we will want to leverage the 10Gb Ethernet connection and hence we will need to create 1 or more EoIB networks that can be accessed by the Virtual Servers. During the installation of the Exalogic 2.0.1 Virtual environment we...

Introduction In working recently with a large Oracle customer on SOA and BAM, I discovered that some BAM best practices are not quite as well known as I had always assumed! The BAM docs are always being improved and updated but here is some information that may be useful when designing BAM applications. Main Article EMS-DO parity When using EMS (Enterprise Message Source) as a BAM feed, the best practice is to use one EMS to write to one Data Object. There is a possibility...

Introduction I have seen a number of request lately asking how to manage deployment of new process versions and how to ensure that instances are migrated (patched) from the previous version to the current version. This blog will present three cases Where the change to the underlying process is not deemed significant and the process instances are migrated automatically Where the change to the underlying process is more complex and the process instances need to be migrated...

Introduction Often times in a demonstration or a POC, B2B is asked to transport binary encoded files. This is actually very easy to do, but there are a number of restrictions you should be aware of when considering whether to use B2B for this or not. Main Article First, the file you're sending should be base64 encoded. Binary files that are not base64 encoded will invariably cause problems when sending them through B2B. Second, you have to consider how B2B will identify the...

Introduction In the past, we had received requests from various parties to provide web service based translation capabilities within B2B 11g for going from an XML payload to a native one and vice versa. Starting with SOA Suite PS5, this feature is available in the base install. The note here describes the basic usage details, which can then be extended to embed in any other SOA application. Main Article XML To Native The WSDL definition and the basic test page are available...

*Reposted with permission from Oracle’s Networking Blog and Neeraj Gupta When you want to bring up a compute server in your environment and need InfiniBand connectivity, usually you go through various installation steps. This could involve operating systems like Linux, followed by a compatible InfiniBand software distribution, associated dependencies and configurations. What if you just want to run some InfiniBand diagnostics or troubleshooting tools from a test machine ?...

Compute nodes in Exalogic communicate with each other and mount their shares from the ZFS storage appliance over the bond0 interface. Bond0 is a highly available network interface over the InfiniBand fabric using a portability layer called IPoIB that allows compute nodes and the storage appliance to communicate using TCP/IP protocol over InfiniBand. In previous entry, we have created a Solaris 10 branded zone, obviously we would also like the branded zone to be able to mount...

Exalogic supports both Linux and Solaris. While majority of Exalogic customers choose to run Oracle Enterprise Linux, there are increasing number very large customers are also choosing to deploy Solaris on Exalogic. One of the reasons that customers choose to run Solaris 11 Express on Exalogic is the capability to create container. Container is a form of Operating System Virtualization that allows multiple operating system environments to coexist on a single system. Container...

*Reposted with permission from Oracle’s Networking Blog and Neeraj Gupta Earlier we discussed about a host participating in different networks or subnets, referred to as multi-homed host. Here I am going to talk about how to handle layer 3 routing. I will break down my discussion into two scenarios - Simple and Not-So-Simple. Simple Scenario Lets assume a host with four network interfaces connected to unique layer 3 subnets respectively. Three subnets are private LANs and the...
