Difference between OIM , OAM And OID ?

Posted on by Osama Mustafa in Fusion Middleware
OAM :- Oracle Access manager 

Regarding to Oracle Documentation

Oracle Access Management is a Java, Enterprise Edition (Java EE)-based enterprise-level security application that provides a full range of Web-perimeter security functions and Web single sign-on services including identity context, authentication and authorization; policy administration; testing; logging; auditing; and more. It leverages shared platform services including session management, Identity Context, risk analytic, and auditing, and provides restricted access to confidential information.

From the above picture as you see OAM provides single point to control all resource grants in an enterprise where multiple applications exist on different platform.

You can refer to oracle Doc here.

OAM provides:

  • Single Sign On (SSO)
  • Authentication
  • Authorization
  • Access Auditing
  • Policy Administration
There is more but you can refer to the above documentation.
OIM : Oracle Identity manager 
enables enterprises to manage the entire user life cycle across all enterprise resources both within and beyond a firewall. An Oracle identity management solution provides a mechanism for implementing the user management aspects of a corporate policy. It can also be a means to audit users and their access privileges.
The best best example to understand OIM is employee.
if the new employee joining the company the HR handle everything for him emails, permission … etc, with OIM it’s different and all of this can be done automatically
Refer to Oracle Documentation here 
Finally OID : Oracle Internet Directory.
Simply it’s LDAP, 
An online directory is a specialized database that stores and retrieves collections of information about objects. The information can represent any resources that require management, for example:

Employee names, titles, and security credentials
Information about partners
Information about shared resources such as conference rooms and printers.
The information in the directory is available to different clients, such as single sign-on solutions, email clients, and database applications. Clients communicate with a directory server by means of the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP). Oracle Internet Directory is an LDAP directory that uses an Oracle Database for storage.
OID Oracle Documentation here

Change AdminServer Port Using WLST.SH

Posted on by Osama Mustafa in Fusion Middleware
Sometimes AdminServer not working Regarding to Wrong configuration or using Wrong Port which mean No Console will be available so is this mean delete domain and Configure it again !!!

Absolutely  Not  When you install Weblogic any Version Oracle Provide you with Command Line Utility to administrate weblogic, what you can do it using Console can be done with this tool.

change to weblogic-directory/common/bin
./wlst.sh

Now follow the below Steps to change port :

wls:/offline> readDomain (‘/u01/app/fmw/domains/IDDomains’)
wls:/offline/IDDomains> cd (‘Server’)
wls:/offline/IDDomains/Server> ls ()

Choose your Server Here

wls:/offline/IDDomains/Server> cd (‘AdminServer’)
wls:/offline/IDDomains/Server/AdminServer> ls ()

Search for Old Port ListenPort 

wls:/offline/IDDomains/Server/AdminServer> set (‘ListenPort’,New Port)
wls:/offline/IDDomains/Server/AdminServer> updateDomain ()
wls:/offline/IDDomains/Server/AdminServer> exit () 

Done you can now Test your new port
http://Server-ip:/console


Thank you

MOLAP, ROLAP And HOLAP

Posted on by Osama Mustafa in Others
I would like to share this article that i found recenly on internet talking about Online Analytic Processing By John Here

Cubes in a data warehouse are stored in three different modes. A relational storage model is called Relational Online Analytical Processing mode or ROLAP, while a Multidimensional Online Analytical processing mode is called MOLAP. When dimensions are stored in a combination of the two modes then it is known as Hybrid Online Analytical Processing mode or HOLAP.

MOLAP 

This is the traditional mode in OLAP analysis. In MOLAP data is stored in form of multidimensional cubes and not in relational databases. The advantages of this mode is that it provides excellent query performance and the cubes are built for fast data retrieval. All calculations are pre-generated when the cube is created and can be easily applied while querying data. The disadvantages of this model are that it can handle only a limited amount of data. Since all calculations have been pre-built when the cube was created, the cube cannot be derived from a large volume of data. This deficiency can be bypassed by including only summary level calculations while constructing the cube. This model also requires huge additional investment as cube technology is proprietary and the knowledge base may not exist in the organization.

ROLAP  

The underlying data in this model is stored in relational databases. Since the data is stored in relational databases this model gives the appearance of traditional OLAPs slicing and dicing functionality. The advantages of this model is it can handle a large amount of data and can leverage all the functionalities of the relational database. The disadvantages are that the performance is slow and each ROLAP report is an SQL query with all the limitations of the genre. It is also limited by SQL functionalities. ROLAP vendors have tried to mitigate this problem by building into the tool out-of-the-box complex functions as well as providing the users with an ability to define their own functions.

HOLAP  

HOLAP technology tries to combine the strengths of the above two models. For summary type information HOLAP leverages cube technology and for drilling down into details it uses the ROLAP model.

Comparing the use of MOLAP, HOLAP and ROLAP

The type of storage medium impacts on cube processing time, cube storage and cube browsing speed. Some of the factors that affect MOLAP storage are:

Cube browsing is the fastest when using MOLAP. This is so even in cases where no aggregations have been done. The data is stored in a compressed multidimensional format and can be accessed quickly than in the relational database. Browsing is very slow in ROLAP about the same in HOLAP. Processing time is slower in ROLAP, especially at higher levels of aggregation.

MOLAP storage takes up more space than HOLAP as data is copied and at very low levels of aggregation it takes up more room than ROLAP. ROLAP takes almost no storage space as data is not duplicated. However ROALP aggregations take up more space than MOLAP or HOLAP aggregations.

All data is stored in the cube in MOLAP and data can be viewed even when the original data source is not available. In ROLAP data cannot be viewed unless connected to the data source.

MOLAP can handle very limited data only as all data is stored in the cube.

unpack.sh Error -name=Value

Posted on by Osama Mustafa in Fusion Middleware
The pack command creates a template archive (.jar) file that contains a snapshot of either an entire domain or a subset of a domain. You can use a template that contains a subset of a domain to create a Managed Server domain directory hierarchy on a remote machine.

The unpack command Creates a full domain or a subset of a domain used for a Managed Server domain directory on a remote machine. You may use unpack only with a template compatible with your current installation. The template can be any of the following:

  •  A domain template provided by BEA and packaged with your current installation
  •  A domain template created using the Domain Template Builder or WLST Offline
  •  A domain template created using the pack command
  •  A Managed Server template created using the pack command. A Managed Server template, by default, contains only the files necessary for creating a Managed Server domain directory.
You Can Check Oracle Documentation here for more information about the above commands.
When Trying to use unpack command with the below command:

./unpack.sh -domain=/u01/app/oracle/domains/IDMDomains -template=/u01/shared/IDMdomains.jar

The below error appear :

ERROR !!! ./unpack.sh -name=Value Missing

The Solution is simple :

-template attribute should come first. 

./unpack.sh  -template=/u01/shared/IDMdomains.jar -domain=/u01/app/oracle/domains/IDMDomains

Managed Server BI_Server Unable To Start After Create Node manager Service

Posted on by Osama Mustafa in Fusion Middleware
Problem Description :

After Install Weblogic and BI On Windows, And Create Admin Server as Services BI_server unable to start, Node manager Created Service Created Without Any Error.

Cause & Solution : 

After Investigation I found Class Path is too Long So what i did like the following, Edit installSVC.cmd To set Classpath  to be Short

you will find the below line in the InstallSvc.cmd all you have to do is change it to be like Line in Red Color :

@echo off

echo %CLASSPATH% > %USERDOMAIN_HOME%\cp.properties

if “%ADMIN_URL%” == “” goto runAdmin
@echo on
set CMDLINE=”%JAVA_VM% %MEM_ARGS% %JAVA_OPTIONS%
-classpath @%USERDOMAIN_HOME%\cp.properties 
-Dweblogic.Name=%SERVER_NAME% -Dweblogic.management.username=%WLS_USER%
-Dweblogic.management.server=\”%ADMIN_URL%\”
-Dweblogic.ProductionModeEnabled=%PRODUCTION_MODE%
-Djava.security.policy=\”%WL_HOME%\server\lib\weblogic.policy\” weblogic.Server”

goto finish

Are we in the Cloud

Posted on by Osama Mustafa in Cloud
What is The Cloud Computing ? Are We in the Cloud ? Where Can I Find it ? Simple Question but It’s has been asked a lot.

Simply Cloud Computing Storing and accessing Data and programs Using Over Internet instead of Local Computer.

I Found the Below Chart on the internet and it’s The Best Describe for the cloud “Source Cloud For Dummies” :

Cloud is the next Stage for everything, Because it can be defined as set of hardware,Platforms , Databases, Networking it will safe lot of money for the companies.

Check the below video :

http://youtube.googleapis.com/v/ae_DKNwK_ms&source=uds

You need to know some  Definition you will heard when we are talking about Cloud:
Xaas is Term said for number of things “X as a Services” / ” Anything as a Services”

The Most Common Examples on the above :

  • DBaas : Database as a Service.
  • Paas : Platform as a Service.
  • SaaS : Software as a Service/Storage as a Service.
  • IaaS : Infrastructure as a Service.
  • Caas : Communication as Service.
  • Naas : Network as Service.
It’s New Future.
