We have a Windows Server 2012 64bit + Weblogic 12c setup. The AdminServer requires a higher PermSize when being used with a 64bit OS, thus we need to modify the "setDomainEnv.cmd" (as described in other questions here on stackoverflow).
When starting the AdminServer through the usual "startWeblogic.cmd" script, it uses the settings in "setDomainEnv.cmd" that sets the PermSize etc. successfully, but when using NodeManager "startServer()" command, it does not.
I read something in the documentation about the fact that one can control the parameters that are loaded on startup of a managed server (with NodeManager), but I did not find the right way to do it.
I would hope that we can achieve a consistent behaviour when starting a managed server (and the AdminServer) through NodeManager or manually.
Any ideas?
UPDATE:
I checked what's going on when starting managed server and(!) in comparison what's going on when starting the AdminServer. Result: the AdminServer process (it starts a 'javaw.exe' instance in contrast to a 'java.exe' instance for a managed server) never get's passed ANY parameters set in the setDomainEnv.cmd script.. it's basically full of Oracle internal parameters.
To me all this looks completely messed up and inconsistent. In addition to this I found an issue reported by Oracle that mystically talks about setting environment variables when running on a 64bit OS (see headline "Developer ZIP Distribution Fails on Windows 64-bit and Linux 64-bit"):
https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E24329_01/doc.1211/e26593/issues.htm#WLSRN238
I have idea if this applies to my version or not, since the version I downloaded does not say "developer" version, it basically was the primary weblogic download for the latest release.
The question that comes to my mind is this: what is the expected way of starting the AdminServer if not using "startServer"? Is there a bug that nobody cares about, since it is usually done differently? I am really disappointed to how confusing this rather simple topic evolves when starting to read Oracle documentation: it simply does not say anything about it at all.

UPDATE 2:
Start the AdminServer through node manager (nmStart('AdminServer')) creates a usual "java.exe" process and starts up the AdminServer with correct memory settings. But this is even more confusing: why is "startServer()" creating a separate process (javaw.exe) with entirely different settings? Why are my settings now totally different for AdminServer? What is the "correct" way of starting the AdminServer (development/production?). Two thumbs down on this environment.
UPDATE 3:
After repeating further tests the solution of getting "startServer()" to work is basically as follows: do not worry about the node manager settings at all, edit the "startWeblogic" script directly by adding additional java options inside of it (as usual by adding -D start parameters). The reason for all this is basically that the global settings (as used by node manager) are ignored completely, see my pasted command line output.
Check the nodemanager.properties file in your Oracle install ( e.g. /opt/ora/mw/wlserver_10.3/common/nodemanager/nodemanager.properties ) and verify that these options are set:
StartScriptName=startManagedWebLogic.sh
StartScriptEnabled=true
so the nodemanager is starting your servers with the appropriate scripts. You also have to option of setting server specific start attributes via the admin console - go to:
Servers -> Server Name -> Server Start tab -> Arguments
You can fill in server specific JVM args, like -XX:MaxPermSize=4096m in this field that will be used by the nodemanager. This may be a better/easier idea than hard coding it in the setDomainEnv script.
UPDATE
Attempt issuing an nmStart() command rather than a startServer() command for the AdminServer.
startServer allows you to start a server WITHOUT the nodemanager. It uses javaw.exe to effectively background the process
nmStart allows you to start the server WITH the nodemanager - which is why you get the correct memory settings. Because the process is started via a service, it is more or less automatically backgrounded, which is why you see the normal java.exe

I want to set Tomcat environment variable as PROD. I tried by putting
set "ENVIRONMENT=PROD"
set JAVA_OPTS="-Dtomcat.runtime.environment.version=PROD"
in catalina.bat
and tried to retrieve it with
env = System.getProperty("tomcat.runtime.environment.version");
but every time env is null! Where exactly does the variable have to be declared in catalina.bat and what's the perfect syntax to set the environment variable? Other possible ways to declare variables are also welcome!
Since you are on Windows and in production, I'm going to assume that you are using a Microsoft Windows Service for Tomcat. If that's the case, the .bat files are completely ignored when launching and stopping Tomcat. There is a service binary that reads the configuration from the Windows Registry and no disk-based scripts are used at all.
If you run the program called tomcatXw.exe (where X is your Tomcat major version number), that will run the configuration GUI. From there, you can configure everything stored in the Registry.
Go to the "System Properties" tab and add your system property -Dtomcat.runtime.environment.version=PROD to the list of properties already found in there. Restart your service and you should be able to see the new system property available to your application (actually the whole JVM, of course).
I created a simple project using ATG 10.2 .I want to know how to deploy it in weblogic. Please provide detailed procedure with screenshots,if possible.
To provide a 'detailed' procedure is beyond the scope of what StackOverflow is trying to provide. That said, if you have an understanding of the Weblogic Management Console you should be able to follow these steps to setup your initial deployment:
Create a Server
1.1 Specify a server name (eg. commerce) and the port number this server will run on (eg. 8180). Select it as a 'Stand-alone server'.
1.2 Once created go to Configuration > Server Start for the newly created server and modify the 'Arguments' block and include the following setings (assuming you are running windows, for Unix update your own paths)
-Datg.dynamo.data-dir=c:\ATG-Data -Datg.dynamo.server.name=commerce -d64 -XX:ParallelGCThreads=8 -Dsun.rmi.dgc.client.gcInterval=3600000 -Dsun.rmi.dgc.server.gcInterval=3600000 -Xms1152m -Xmx2048m -XX:NewSize=128m -XX:MaxNewSize=256m -XX:PermSize=128m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m
1.3 Save your Server
Create DataSources
2.1 In the Console click on 'Services > Data Sources'
2.2 Create 'New' datasources for each of your connections. As a minimum you will need connections for ATGSwitchingDS_A, ATGSwitchingDS_B (Assuming you are doing switching datasources) and ATGProductionDS. These names should match your JNDI names in your property files. Remember to specify the 'commerce' server as the target for each of the datasources.
Create Deployment
3.1 Assuming you've already built your EAR (eg. ATGProduction.ear) and it is available in c:\deployments you need to create a deployment in Weblogic. You need to create the deployment in the console and specify the target as 'commerce'. Once done you need to also 'start serving requests' on the deployment.
Start Server
You should now be able to see your server running on port 8180 with the log files being written to c:\ATG-Data\servers\commerce\logs.
If after this things aren't running, post specific questions about your issues and someone here might be able to help you.
Using VisaulVM, I'd like to obtain this as data, without image processing algorithms being applied... How can I do that? I think this won't come out of a snapshot.
I am not sure how VisualVM and jVisualVM vary, the naming is sure confusing, but I'm running the Oracle supplied one (Version 1.7.0_80 (Build 150109))
Thanks!
You can use Tracer plugin with various probes. Tracer can export data in CSV, HTML or XML.
All this information is available through JMX. That's how VisualVM gets the information and you can use the same technology to get it too. First install the VisualVM-MBeans plugin from the Tools menu. This will add another tab titled MBeans where you can see all the available data for your application. You will find the graphed data under java.lang.Memory and java.lang.OperationSystem.
If you're trying to check information for your own process, it's as simple as calling ManagementFactory.getOperatingSystemMXBean().getSystemLoadAverage() and ManagementFactory.getMemoryMXBean().getHeapMemoryUsage(). There are more, but these should get you started.
To get precise CPU usage see: Using OperatingSystemMXBean to get CPU usage
If you want to get information on another process, you'd need some more code. There is a complete answer on Accessing a remote MBean server but basically:
// replace host and port
// not tested, might not work
JMXServiceURL url = new JMXServiceURL("service:jmx:rmi:///jndi/rmi://<addr>:<port>");
JMXConnector jmxConnector = JMXConnectorFactory.connect(url);
MBeanServerConnection connection = jmxConnector.getMBeanServerConnection();
OperatingSystemMXBean bean = ManagementFactory.getPlatformMXBean(connection, OperatingSystemMXBean.class);
bean.getSystemLoadAverage();
You will also have to start your Java process with exposed JMX as explained on How to activate JMX on my JVM for access with jconsole? but basically:
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=9010
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.local.only=false
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false
There is also a way to enumerate Java processes running on the local machine and even connect to processes that don't have JMX enabled (though you get less data). If that's what you're looking for, VisualVM Source Code will be a good place to start.
To answer your other question about naming:
VisualVM is opensource project hosted at visualvm.java.net and Java VisualVM is stable version of VisualVM with Oracle branding and other small changes. Java VisualVM is distributed in JDK. There is a table where you can find which VisualVM release is the basis for Java VisualVM in respective JDK update.
I recently was modifying some of my server properties in Rational Application Developer to try and increase the memory of my JVM on startup. I forgot to take a backup before doing this, and by adding in an incorrect JVM variable, it seems I have broke my server in an unworking state. Whenever I try and startup my server to do any configuration changes, the JVM refuses to start with invalid params being passed in.
Is there a way to reset any JVM changes for WebSpehere Application Server v7.0 through the filesystem, or a way to do it without needing the server running already? I have been looking around in the wasProfile hoping to stumble onto a file where my settings ultimately live, but have had no luck.
It should be possible to write a wsadmin script to view/adjust the JVM options, but if you're on a non-z/OS platform, the fastest way to get back to working is probably to edit PROFILE_HOME/config/cells/CELL/nodes/NODE/servers/SERVER/server.xml; the JVM settings are typically written at the very end.
There are scripts that build the admin server, then create clusters, managed servers, machines etc and when this domain is built, it is seen that an additional phantom server osb_server1 with port 8011, is getting built that isn't attached to any cluster or any machine.
This is built when the wlsb.jar was being referenced during one of the scripts.
Once after the admin server is up and running and we have other managed servers as well, Was trying to remove osb_server1 and this error creeps up
weblogic.management.configuration.AppDeploymentMBeanImpl.isCacheInAppDirectorySet()
Errors must be corrected before processding
There are like 120 default deployments on OSB that are targeted to osb_server1, was trying to retarget them to another server, but that is also throwing an error ...
Any ideas ???
That's due to the weird behaviour/bug of the standard osb template. There is a discussion here. http://theheat.dk/blog/?p=1255.
I didnt follow the steps given by Oracle(as in the URL). What I did was,
I keep the default osb_server1, and make it part of the cluster during the domain creation(ie, it's the first server). Once the domain is created, I re-set the osb_server1 to the desired value. That way the singleton services will still be deployed to the 1st server and others to cluster. Using WLST:
readDomain(domain_name)
cd('/Servers/osb_server1')
set('ListenPort', osb1_listen_port)
set('Name', osb1_name)
cd('/Servers/' + osb1_name + '/ServerDiagnosticConfig/osb_server1')
set('Name', osb1_name)
updateDomain()
closeDomain()
