Delete Oracle Storage cloud Container using File Transfer Manager CLI – FTMCLI

Posted on by Osama Mustafa in Cloud
In this post i will show you how to delete the container with all the objects in it, we are using storage container to configure Oracle Cloud backup and store database backup in it, But if you want to delete this container oracle cloud will not allow you to do this because the container should be empty.

there are different way to do this all of them using command line, the way are :-

  • Web Console — working only if the container is empty.
  • RESTful API
  • Java Library
  • Oracle Storage Cloud File Transfer Manager CLI
  • File Transfer Manager API
Each one of them having it’s own advantage and disadvantage you can check oracle documentation foe this from here 
Let’s talk about FTMCLI it’s very simple and easy to use it you should have JRE 7 or later download from here
and Download FTMCLI From here
  • Now to make it simple as you can when you download put everything in one folder extract them 
  • inside FTMCTL zip file you will see files called ftmcli.properties”, this file allow you to save the storage name and configuration of Storage cloud if you do this it will not necessary to add it each time in the command line i prefer to do this, trying to do it once better to do it each time, the file having different parameters like this :-
    • auth-url :- URL of your Oracle Storage Cloud
    • user :- Your user name.
    • service :- The cloud service name.
    • identity-domain :- The name of your identity domain.
    • storage-class :- default standrad or you can change it to archive
    • max-threads :- The maximum number of threads to be used in a request.
    • retries :-  The number of times that a request must be retried in case of failure.
    • segment-size :- The segment size in MB.
    • segments-container :- The container in which the segments must be stored during the upload process.
            You can get all the information from the console –> Storage cloud –> Details.
  • Now Let’s using the command line on your PC open cmd or ssh depend on your operating system if you having Linux you need to set the export the following Check the documentation here :-
    • export FTM_AUTH_URL
    • export FTM_USER
    • export FTM_SERVICE
    • export FTM_IDOMAIN
  • using this command java.exe -jar ftmcli.jar –help you can see how to use the FTMCLI file.
  • My container on Oracle storage cloud called DBBackup so i want to delete with the below command ;-

c:\FTMCL\bin>java.exe -jar C:\FTMCL\ftmcli.jar delete -f DBBackup –properties-f
ile c:\FTMCL\ftmcli.properties

The output should be like this :-

Cheers And Enjoy the cloud.

OTN Appreciation Day : Oracle WebLogic 12c #ThanksOTN

Posted on by Osama Mustafa in News
OTN Appreciation Day The idea came from Our Oracle ACE Director ( the Mind ) Tim Hall Here 

 OTN : Oracle Technology network  or let me say OTN gather all of us no matter where you live in this world ? only one thing gather us our love to OTN.

OTN done so much things to all of us, one of things i love and most of the people in the community know that is Fusion middleware and i will write about Oracle Weblogic 12cR2 the documentation available here 

Oracle Weblogic 12cR2 comes with different features such as the following:-

  • Multitenancy Support
  • Continuous Availability
  • Java EE 7 Support
  • JDK 8 Certification
  • Docker Certification
  • Runtime Improvements
  • Manageability Improvements
  • Documentation Update History for Release 12.2.1
  • Standards Support, Supported Configurations, and WebLogic Server Compatibility
  • Deprecated Functionality (WebLogic Server 12.2.1)
  • Removed Functionality and Components

If will talk about them all it will be documentation not blog post therefore i will choose 2 or 3 topics.

  • Docker Certification

Oracle WebLogic Server 12.2.1 is certified to run inside a Docker container. Docker is a Linux-based container technology that enables you to quickly create lightweight clustered and non-clustered WebLogic Server domain configurations on a single host OS or virtual machines, for either development or production environments.

you can have access to github here and how to Run Weblogic on Docker check here 

  • Multitenancy Support

Multitenancy in WebLogic Server provides a sharable infrastructure for use by multiple organizations. These organizations are a conceptual grouping of your own choosing, which you can think of as tenants. By allowing one domain to support multiple tenants, Weblogic Server Multitenant improves density and achieves a more efficient use of resources while eliminating the hurdles typically present when trying to share multiple applications: runtime cross-application impact, security differences, data co-mingling, and administrative challenges.

 WebLogic Server MT enables an end to end multitenant infrastructure, including multitenancy from the load balancer to the middle tier and cache tier, and to the database tier. WebLogic Server MT extends the Oracle WebLogic Server Enterprise Edition and Oracle WebLogic Suite products

Alot of different features.

Thanks
Osama

The above is EDQ Cluster Error, Fresh installation after searching inside the logs i found the following :-

This is simply happened because StartScriptEnabled property in nodemanager.properties file was set to ‘false’. therefore must set to true

JspCompile.pl Hangs after upgrading to EBS R12.2.4 Any idea ?

Posted on by Osama Mustafa in Application
Let me tell you what is going on here , maybe you have some idea that can help, the scenario like the following :-

I installed Oracle E-business suite on Linux 64bit Operating system version 6.7 without any issue and the EBS version was R12.2.0 and the default database version which is 11.2.0.3.

But i choose to upgrade to EBS R12.2.4 and Oracle database 12c both done without any issues or even small error in the logs , auto config done successfully without any issue as well, the application started without any single error.

But when trying to access to the EBS application Link

I tried to compile the JSP but :-

[oracle@ammebs scripts]$ tail -f /u01/oracle/tbdlamm/fs_ne/EBSapps/log/adop/16/apply_20160114_142741/20518047/log/u20518047.log
enumerating jsps…7829
updating dependency…6473
parsing jsp…6473
writing deplist…7829
initializing compilation:
eliminating children…5954 (-1875)
searching uncompiled…5682 (2253 were stale)
translating and compiling:
searching untranslated…5622 (3369 were stale)
translating jsps… 85% complete: 4800/5622 ETA: 53s
translating jsps…5622/5622 in 7m31s
compiling jsps… 

The Logs shows only this error :-

[213441] !!SEVERE WARNING!! TIMEOUT[600 seconds] EXPIRED DURING COMPILATION  

I increased the apache timeout in the context file for nothing .

When access the EBS Application Link :-

From RFC 2068 Hypertext Transfer Protocol — HTTP/1.1:
10.4.5 404 Not Found

The server has not found anything matching the Request-URI. No indication is given of whether the condition is temporary or permanent.

If the server does not wish to make this information available to the client, the status code 403 (Forbidden) can be used instead. The 410 (Gone) status code SHOULD be used if the server knows, through some internally configurable mechanism, that an old resource is permanently unavailable and has no forwarding address. 

I opened SR and now it’s 45  days without any solution !!!!

Any idea

Thank you guys 🙂
Osama
