WebLogic Admin Tricks & Tips

You might be wonder what is fun in this blog looking for X11 forwarding on Solaris 5.10!! You might be excited to see the beauty of colorful Oracle Fusion Middleware WebLogic 11g installation window when you executable binaries (wls1033_solaris32.bin), You might wish to see Oracle WebLogic domain configuration Wizard (config.sh), Oracle WebLogic Domain Template builder (config_builder.sh), BEA Smart Update (bsu.sh) windows or your Oracle Database 11g while you work on a remote UNIX machines. After spending few hours on the Internet found many blogs written on their experiences, few document on websites, which illustrated about SSH, X11 forwarding in UNIX. I understand that what I need to do? To achieve my objective X11 Forwarding using SSH window, I must have a X emulating software installed on my desktop. you guys have this on your desktop?? If not install Hummingbird Connectivity (Xming is alternative) My experimenting environment is Solaris 10, Oracle WebLogic, SSH ...

Here is another interesting story of WLA (of-course mine), When I visited US in 2007 there was lot of restrictions in work places. "Hey its production you know what happen if you touch it??" "Don't open this files", "Don't enter into that folders", it will be dangerous... I know that very well what is missing in the system, where it is required a change but my hands kept criss cross!!

Whenever there is a application version release the archive files(.jar, .war, .ear) need to copied to all over the remote machines. In olden days we were using 'sftp' command and its related 'put', 'm...

Today I started re-inventing myself, started looking what all I did for me and my team to perform in better ways. Remembered those we used to open UNIX SSH windows to monitor How the CPU load average in each site. While doing this monitoring activity on site1, there might be possible that some other site reach to overload, which leads to uncontrol tendency to work. It was funny, my dear buddy named it as 'Barbar work!!' :) After little R & D on Google/Internet found few suitable solutions. I had chosen 'uptime' command running with remote SSH connection in a loop. Adding more value to this sending a mail on the event of crossing the threshold value. This threshold will be vary depending upon the application and CPU power. Trail and error make you to identify what could be the threshold. Defining these threshold values Venu GopalRao helped a lot. Once script started working he was amazed and appreciated as well. This script can be run forever with a specified ti...
