Implementing Coherence and OWSM out-of-process on OSB 12c by David Saes

April 27, 2015 Leave a comment

Introduction

Enterprise Deployment Guide for Oracle SOA Suite states that we should segregate Oracle Web Service Manager (OWSM) and if we plan to use Result Caching heavily with OSB we should segregate Coherence from OSB Managed Server too, but to perform these tasks at WebLogic 12c is quite different than old version 11g. This article describes how to create an OSB domain and segregate (or “out-of-process”) OWSM and Coherence Servers from OSB Managed Servers, our desired domain is covered by the following image:

Tested Environment

Oracle Fusion Middleware 12c (12.1.3.0.0) Infrastructure
Oracle Fusion Middleware 12c (12.1.3.0.0) Service Bus
Oracle JDK 7u75
Linux

Installation Steps

I’m assuming that all Installation steps are already done before, and I’ll not cover them on this article to not be boring, the installation steps are:

(Note: always certify your system meets the Requirements and Supported Platform):

Domain Configuration

Now we already have installed the OSB binaries, we need to configure the domain using the Configuration Wizard, my Oracle Home is /u01/oracle/middleware/fmw1213 and to start the Configuration Wizard we need to go to $ORACLE_HOME/oracle_common/common/bin and execute:

$ ./config.sh

Choose “Create a new domain” and choose the Domain Location as you prefer (in my case it will be /u01/oracle/domains/OSBDomain) and Click in Next button:

Select the Template “Oracle Service Bus”, and the templates: “WebLogic Advanced Web Services for JAX-RPC Extension”, “ODSI XQuery 2004 Components”, “Oracle Enterprise Manager”, “Oracle WSM Policy Manager”, “Oracle JRF” and “WebLogic Coherence Cluster Extension” will be selected too, then Click in Next button:

Choose the Application Location as you prefer (in my case it will be /u01/oracle/domains/applications/OSBDomain) and Click in Next button:

Define the Administrator Account User and password (in my case it will be weblogic for User and welcome1 for Password) and Click in Next button:

Select “Production” on Domain Mode and Choose the JDK appropriate and Click in Next button:

Enter your Database connection and RCU data then click in “Get RCU Configuration”, after we verify everything is OK click in Next button:

On Component Datasources click in Next button:

On JDBC Test verify if everything is OK and click in Next button:

Select “Administration Server”, “Node Manager”, “Managed Servers, Clusters and Coherence” and Click in Next button:

On Administration Server enter the “Server Name” and “Listen Port” as you prefer, on “Listen Address” as EDG states use a virtual host (in my case it will be AdminServer for Server Name, admin-vip for Listen Address and 7001 for Listen Port), on “Server Groups” leave “Unspecified” and click in Next button:

Choose the “Node Manager Type” and “Node Manager Credentials” as you prefer (in my case it will be Per Domain Default Location for Node Manager Type, nmuser for Username and welcome1 for Password) and click in Next button:

On Managed Servers screen, we will change the Server Group for OSB Server from “OSB-MGD-SVRS-COMBINED” to “OSB-MGD-SVRS-ONLY”, and Click in button to add our OWSM Managed Server then we will associate the Server Groups: “JFR-MAN-SVR” and “WSMPM-MAN-SVR” for it, then click in Next button:

Create two new cluster as following, you can adapt the names to your standards (Note: Always set Frontend Host to OSB)

Cluster Name	Cluster Address	Frontend Host	Frontend HTTP Port	Frontend HTTPS
cluster_osb	osb-node-01-vip:7010	osb-dev.internal	80	443
cluster_owsm	owsm-node-01-vip:7020

Click in Next button:

Associate each Server on your respective cluster then click in Next button:

Enter the name for Coherence Cluster and an Unicast Port Listen (in my case it will be CoherenceCluster for Cluster Name and 0 for Unicast Listen Port), if you leave port 0 it will create an offset for the Managed Servers, then click in Next button:

Enter the Machine information (in my case it will be machine1 for Name, machine1-vip for Node Manager Listen Address and 5556 for Node Manager Listen Port) then click in Next button:

Associate the Managed Servers to Machine created then click in Next button:

Click in Create button on Configuration Summary:

After the Domain was created, click in Next button:

Click in Finish button:

Here we’ve already segregated the OSB and OWSM in two different Managed Servers.

Starting OSB domain

Now we start our OSB domain created in previous step, my Domain Location or $DOMAIN_HOME is /u01/oracle/domains/OSBDomain, and to start the Admin Server we need to go $DOMAIN_HOME, execute startWebLogic.sh shell script, when asked enter the admin user name and password and wait the process to be in RUNNING state:

$ ./startWebLogic.sh

Note: If during the Admin startup you see the stack like below, it is because the Admin Server is trying to reach wsm-pm during startup. As wsm-pm is targeted only to Managed Servers which have not been started yet, this must fail.

The connection to wsm-pm will be retried, and will be established once wsm-pm is available in the domain. (more details see the MOS Note: 1948727.1)

Creating Coherence Managed Server

Now we need to create our WebLogic Cluster and WebLogic Managed Server to keep our Coherence data from OSB Resulting Cache, this process is very different than the configuration on OSB 11g, in order you need to follow this steps:

Create a file named createAndDeployCoherence.py and paste the following text:

## Variables

username=’weblogic’

password=’welcome1′

domainURI=’t3://admin-vip:7001′

ClusterWLSCoherence_Name=’cluster_coherence’

ManagedWLSCoherence_Name=’coherence_server1′

ListenAddressCoherence=’coherence-node-01-vip’

PortCoherence=7030

ClusterCoherence=’CoherenceCluster’

MachineCoherence=’machine1′

OracleHome=’/u01/oracle/middleware/fmw1213/osb’

## End Variables

connect(username,password,domainURI);

edit();

startEdit();

#Create Cluster

cd(‘/’)

cmo.createCluster(ClusterWLSCoherence_Name)

cd(‘/Clusters/’+ClusterWLSCoherence_Name)

cmo.setClusterMessagingMode(‘unicast’)

#Create Server

cd(‘/’)

cmo.createServer(ManagedWLSCoherence_Name)

cd(‘/Servers/’+ManagedWLSCoherence_Name)

cmo.setListenAddress(ListenAddressCoherence)

cmo.setListenPort(PortCoherence)

cmo.setCluster(getMBean(‘/Clusters/’+ClusterWLSCoherence_Name))

cmo.setMachine(getMBean(‘/Machines/’+MachineCoherence))

#Disable SSL

cd(‘/Servers/’+ManagedWLSCoherence_Name+’/SSL/’+ManagedWLSCoherence_Name)

cmo.setEnabled(false)

#Add to Coherence Cluster

cd(‘/Servers/’+ManagedWLSCoherence_Name)

cmo.setCoherenceClusterSystemResource(getMBean(‘/CoherenceClusterSystemResources/’+ClusterCoherence))

cd(‘/CoherenceClusterSystemResources/’+ClusterCoherence)

cmo.addTarget(getMBean(‘/Servers/’+ManagedWLSCoherence_Name))

cd(‘/Clusters/’+ClusterWLSCoherence_Name)

cmo.setCoherenceClusterSystemResource(getMBean(‘/CoherenceClusterSystemResources/’+ClusterCoherence))

cd(‘/CoherenceClusterSystemResources/’+ClusterCoherence)

cmo.addTarget(getMBean(‘/Clusters/’+ClusterWLSCoherence_Name))

#Deploy resultcache

progress=deploy(‘resultcache’,OracleHome+’/lib/apps/resultcache.gar’,ClusterWLSCoherence_Name,block=’true’,upload=’true’)

progress.printStatus()

print ‘Coherence Server has been configured’

save();

activate();

disconnect();

exit();

Modify the script variables according to your installation settings. The variables are:

username – The Admin username created for the Domain

password – The Admin password created for the Domain

domainURI – The Url for your Admin Server

ClusterWLSCoherence_Name – The new name for WebLogic Cluster to create for the Coherence Managed Servers

ManagedWLSCoherence_Name – The new name for Coherence Managed Server

ListenAddressCoherence – The virtual host for the new Coherence Managed Server

PortCoherence – The port for the new Coherence Managed Server

ClusterCoherence – The Coherence created to the new Coherence Managed Servers

MachineCoherence – The Machine created to managed the new Coherence Managed Servers

OracleHome – Oracle Service Bus installation directory

In another SSH session run wlst.sh shell script asking our createAndDeployCoherence.py script created previously, the wlst.sh in my case resides on /u01/oracle/middleware/fmw1213/oracle_common/common/bin/wlst.sh:

$ /u01/oracle/middleware/fmw1213/oracle_common/common/bin/wlst.sh createAndDeployCoherence.py

-DOSB.coherence.cluster=CoherenceCluster -Dtangosol.coherence.distributed.localstorage=false

iii) Click on server coherence_server1 and go to Server Start tab on Arguments, add the following parameters and Save your configuration:

-DOSB.coherence.cluster=CoherenceCluster

Start All Managed Servers

Conclusion

Now we have an OSB domain configured using the best practices that EDG says and also we can use the best that Oracle Fusion Middleware 12c can deliver.
