What is this about• An Oracle Fusion Middleware implementation

ExaLogic / Exadata

• Where did we start

• The solutions we chose

• The tips and hints to give

• The ToDo’s

Aims and goals• Company was running its FMW on AIX

• Wanted to upgrade their entire platform to

Version 3.0• The entire(self) service platform to ExaLogic /

Exadata

Hardware Migration

Call 0900-EXASQUAD

Technologies used• Exadata and ExaLogic X4-2

• ExaLogic Cloud Software

• Oracle WebLogic 11g and 12c

o 10.3.6 and 12.1.2

• Oracle SOA and BPM Suite 11g

• Oracle WebCenter suite 11g

o Content and Portal

• Oracle IDM Suite 11g

• Oracle Data integrator 12c

Also 3rd Party vendors• Pure Java EE implementations:

• On Oracle WebLogic 12.1.2

Starting…• After placing and cabling work

• After Oracle ACS work had been done

• ExaLogic Cloud Admin config

Actions for ExaLogic Admin• Arranging ExaLogic Cloud Control using

• Networking

• ZFS Storage appliance

• Virtual Datacenter

Vservers from templates

VServers• Using VServer templates

• Based on our conventions documents

• Naming, sizing

• Using private IB subnets for internal

communications

• Using distribution groups ( to run a cluster of

VServers on isolated compute nodes)

Storage plan• Design for as Maximum Availability as

possible

• Validate MAA best practices and apply if

possible

ZFS HA Setup

Action plans• Build up Development, Test and

Acceptance as usual FMW

• Release to project teams

• Do specialized ExaLogic rework

Action plans• Manual installations and provisioning side

by side

• Develop scripting

• Saving templates to be re-used

• Fill EM 12c provisioning library

Action plans• Build up Development, Test and

Acceptance as usual FMW

• Release to project teams

• Do specialized ExaLogic rework

Action plans• Apply custom stuff for project teams

• Custom libraries

• Project dependant customizations

• Readiness to administer

ExaLogic boost

• To make use of all ExaLogic benefits

Global PayPlus• Aims on Exa’s high performance

WebLogic boost

• The “magic” switch

• But this is just the beginning!

WebLogic boost• WebLogic Exalogic Domain Enhancements

• -Dweblogic.ScatteredReadsEnabled &

-Dweblogic.GatheredWritesEnabled

• Better I/O in high network volume environments

• Uses Native IO Socket Channels optimized

• -Dweblogic.replication.enableLazyDeserialization

• Clustered session replication

WebLogic boost• # Enable Java Exalogic optimizations

EXTRA_JAVA_PROPERTIES="${EXTRA_JAVA_PROPERTIES}-Xlargepages:exitOnFailure=false -Doracle.xdkjava.exalogic.optimization=true-Dweblogic.ScatteredReadsEnabled=true-Dweblogic.GatheredWritesEnabled=true-Dweblogic.replication.enableLazyDeserialization=true"export EXTRA_JAVA_PROPERTIES

More optimizations• SDP and Infiniband

• Cluster and channels

• Oracle Traffic Director

More optimizations• Implement SDP over JDBC instead of TCP

• jdbc:oracle:thin:@(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=sdp)(HOST=<IBVIP>)(PORT=1521))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=<DB Service>)))

• JAVA_OPTIONS="${JAVA_OPTIONS} -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=tr-Doracle.net.SDP=true"

High Speed Network• Because of high speed IB network we could

• Store all persistency

in database

• JMS TLogs

• JMS FileStores

• OPSS Policystore to DB

Cluster & Channels• WebLogic Admin Channel

• Several network channels for HTTP and T3

• AdminServer URL

• Other external network clients

• Internal (Cluster, Coherence, OTD)

Cluster & Channels

Oracle Traffic Director

• Use of internal and external VIPs

• soa<n>-int.qualogy.com

• soa-ext.qualogy.com

Internal use

• Internal user for OTD routing, cluster level

session replication

• Setup cluster replication:

• For stateless apps such as B2B, several Composer

apps

Internal use

• Configure Coherence

• Use IPOIB for WKA-Dtangosol.coherence.wka1=soa<n>-int.qualogy.com-Dtangosol.coherence.wka2=soa<n>-int.qualogy.com-Dtangosol.coherence.localhost=soa<n>-int.qualogy.com

External use

• For external over HTTP, T3

• Use EOIB

• External JMS , JMX clients

• Remote deploy

SOA OTD topology

Things To Do

• Automation….?

• Provisioning with EM / Puppet / PineApple

• Deployments (Chef, DeployIT, EM12C)

• Builds & Versioning (

SVN/Maven/Hudson/Jenkins)

• Semi Automation

• DR / Failover

VServers todo’s• Defining more specific templates

• Based on products (SOA, WebCenter, etc)

• Store in software library

• Semi Automated roll out (EM Job?)

Fill EM 12c provisioning

Example SOA Suite DR Setup

Questions?

Oracle Fusion Middleware basis

• FMW basis: de Applicatie Server

• Wat is een Applicatie Server?

• Wat doet een Applicatie Server?

• Welke Applicatie Server gebruikt Oracle?
