  1. Session id: Managing the Oracle Application Server in a Datacenter Environment Nicole HabaSenior Product Manager Oracle Corporation

  2. Agenda • Problems Facing Datacenters • Oracle’s Solution • Management Topology • Features • Daily Administration • Performance Monitoring • Q&A

  3. Problems Facing Datacenters

  4. Problems Facing Datacenters • Complex environment • Several components to Application Server • Variety of target types (hosts, DBs, apps, network) • No specialized Application Server administrator • No budget for extensive training • Not aware of issues with application performance until trouble ticket is logged • Difficult and time consuming in diagnosing poor performance

  5. Oracle’s Solution

  6. Oracle Enterprise Manager

  7. Management Topology

  8. OracleAS Console • Installs with every OracleAS instance • Version inline with Oracle10i– 10.0 • Unique port and IAS_ADMIN password for each OracleAS Console • Real-time monitoring of single OracleAS instance • “Administration console” • Relies upon OracleAS management stack • DCM • OPMN • DMS

  9. OracleAS 1 OracleAS 2 OracleAS Console 2 OracleAS Console 1 OracleAS Console (cont’d)

  10. Central Console • New with Enterprise Manager V4 • Installs from separate CD-ROM from OracleAS software • Version not inline with OracleAS – 4.0.1 • Provides consolidated management and monitoring of entire enterprise • Out-of-box monitoring and alert notification • Historical collections for trend analysis • Group Management • Application Performance Management • Drilldown to OracleAS Consoles

  11. Manage from Anywhere HTTP/S OracleAS Console 1 HTTP/S Central Console Management Service HTTP/S Firewall HTTP/S Mobile Device OracleAS Console 2 HTTP/S HTTP/S Portals Management Repository New Enterprise Manager v4

  12. Features: Administration • Application Server Home Page • Deploying J2EE Applications • Management through Grids • Port Management • Diagnostic Logging • Something re: reassociation • Enterprise Configuration Management • Component Management

  13. Application Server Home Page

  14. Title is Arial 32-40pt. • Text is Arial 28 pt., first bullet is red • Second level is 24 pt. • Third level • Fourth level • Fifth level

  15. Deploying J2EE Applications • Consolidated view of J2EE apps across all OC4J instances • Configure Java Messaging Services for J2EE apps • Only Oracle AQ and third party • Configure and monitor Message Driven Beans • Configure J2EE data sources easier with new “create-like” feature • Improved deployment Wizard • More comprehensive error messages

  16. Management through Grids

  17. Management through Grids • Consolidate distributed targets for more effective management • Web Applications • Application Servers • Databases • Hosts • Monitor key performance metrics and alerts for all targets • Drilldown into more details • Quickly isolate and diagnose root cause of problem

  18. Management through Grids (cont’d) • Cluster info • File-based repository supported by DCM • Create file-based repository via command line, not via Oracle10iAS Console • Perform file-based repository cluster management operations via Oracle10iAS Console

  19. Port Management

  20. Port Management • View port ranges and ports in use across all components • Configure various ports from central location • Access to port dependency info • Port dependencies documented in OracleAS Admin Guide

  21. Diagnostic Logging

  22. Diagnostic Logging • Log Viewer • Access all Oracle10iAS diagnostic logs from single location • Log Loader • Automatically load log data into a file-based repository for easier investigation • Cross-correlation queries

  23. Something re: reassociation

  24. Reassociation • Ability to reassociate (ie reconfigure) Oracle10iAS Infrastructure with an application’s mid tier • Types of reassociation • Identity Management • Metadata Repository • DB Managed Cluster • Customer use cases • Disaster recovery (backup & recovery) • Identity Management reconfiguration • Support for application lifecycle (test  stage  production)

  25. Reassociation: Identity Management • Intuitive ‘Change Identity Management Wizard’ to step user through reconfig • Supports reassociation of OID, SSO or both

  26. Reassociation: Metadata Repository • Intuitive ‘Change Metadata Repository Wizard’ to step user through reconfig • Configuration performed at DB instance level • For Portal mid tiers, dads.conf file automatically updated with new Metadata Repository

  27. Reassociation: DB Managed Cluster • Intuitive ‘Change DB Managed Cluster Wizard’ to step user through reconfig • No support for file based clusters

  28. Enterprise Configuration Management

  29. Enterprise Configuration Management • Automatically gather and store hardware and software configuration data • OS registered software • Hardware resources • Patch levels • Dependencies • Configuration management operations • Locate and download Oracle software patches directly from MetaLink • Search for and compare software installations

  30. Component Management

  31. Component Management • Personalization • Portal* • ProcessConnect* • Reports* • Syndication Server • Ultrasearch • Wireless • HTTP Server • OC4J • Web Cache • BC4J • Discoverer • Forms • CM SDK • Internet Directory * Offers key new features

  32. Component Management (cont’d) • Consistency across all Oracle10iAS components • Common look-and-feel • Consistent level of management • Administration • Monitoring

  33. Central Console Management Sites with both Oracle10iAS and database, like LLNL, thought the Central Console was key to managing their enterprise. • Application Server Home Page • Monitoring Oracle10iAS • Consolidated Group Management • Application Performance Management • Enterprise Configuration Management • Drilldown to Oracle10iAS Consoles

  34. Application Server Home Page Consolidated, at-a-glance view of key Oracle10iAS information • Availability • J2EE apps • Resource usage • Alerts • Diagnostics • Administration

  35. Features: Monitoring • Out-of-the-Box Monitoring • Historical Collections and Analysis • J2EE Application Diagnostics • Application Performance Management

  36. Out-of-the-Box Monitoring

  37. Monitoring Oracle10iAS • Monitor Application Server level as well as component level • Real-time performance and availability monitoring • Lights-out monitoring defaults • Historical collections for trend analysis • Out-of-box notifications for critical alerts • Summary view for rapid problem identification • Easily compare performance across Oracle10iAS instances

  38. Title is Arial 32-40pt. • Text is Arial 28 pt., first bullet is red • Second level is 24 pt. • Third level • Fourth level • Fifth level

  39. Historical Collections and Analysis
