Configuring the Distributed Java Object

Cache

The Java Object Cache (JOC) should be configured among all the servers running Oracle Web Services Manager and among all the servers running Oracle WebCenter Spaces. This local cache is provided to increase the performance of Oracle WSM and Oracle WebCenter Spaces.

F.1 Configuring the Java Object Cache

The distributed Java Object Cache can be configured using the MW_HOME/oracle_ common/bin/configure-joc.py script. This is a Python script which can be used to configure JOC in the managed servers. The script runs in WLST online mode and expects the Administration Server to be up and running.

When configuring JOC ports for Oracle products, Oracle recommends using ports in the 9988 to 9998 range.

Usage

This section demonstrates how to configure the distributed Java Object Cache for Oracle Web Services Manager or for Oracle WebCenter Spaces. For other applications such as ADF or WebCenter Custom Apps, substitute the relevant host, port and cluster names where appropriate.

1. Connect to the Administration Server using the command-line Oracle WebLogic Scripting Tool (WLST).

MW_HOME/oracle_common/common/bin/wlst.sh $ connect()

Enter the Oracle WebLogic Administration user name and password when prompted.

2. After connecting to the Administration Server using wlst, start the script using the execfile command, for example:

wls:/mydomain/serverConfig>execfile('MW_HOME/oracle_ common/bin/configure-joc.py')

3. Configure JOC for all the managed servers for a given cluster.

Note: After configuring the Java Object Cache using the wlst commands or configure-joc.py script, all affected managed servers should be restarted for the configurations to take effect.

Configuring the Java Object Cache

F-2 Oracle Fusion Middleware High Availability Guide

Enter 'y' when the script prompts whether you want to specify a cluster name, and also specify the cluster name and discover port, when prompted. This discovers all the managed servers for the given cluster and configures the JOC. The discover port is common for the entire JOC configuration across the cluster.

For Oracle Web Services Manager:

Do you want to specify a cluster name (y/n) <y> Enter Cluster Name : WSM_Cluster

Enter Discover Port : 9991

For Oracle WebCenter Spaces:

Do you want to specify a cluster name (y/n) <y> Enter Cluster Name : Spaces_Cluster

Enter Discover Port : 9988

Here is a walkthrough for using configure-joc.py for HA environments: For Oracle Web Services Manager:

execfile('MW_HOME/oracle_common/bin/configure-joc.py') .

Enter Hostnames (eg host1,host2) : SOAHOST1, SOAHOST2 .

Do you want to specify a cluster name (y/n) <y>y .

Enter Cluster Name : WSM_Cluster .

Enter Discover Port : 9991 .

Enter Distribute Mode (true|false) <true> : true .

Do you want to exclude any server(s) from JOC configuration (y/n) <n> n

For Oracle WebCenter Spaces:

execfile('MW_HOME/oracle_common/bin/configure-joc.py') .

Enter Hostnames (eg host1,host2) : APPHOST1, APPHOST2 .

Do you want to specify a cluster name (y/n) <y>y .

Enter Cluster Name : Spaces_Cluster .

Enter Discover Port : 9988 .

Enter Distribute Mode (true|false) <true> : true .

Do you want to exclude any server(s) from JOC configuration (y/n) <n> n

The script can also be used to perform the following JOC configurations:

■ Configure JOC for all specified managed servers.

Enter 'n' when the script prompts whether you want to specify a cluster name, and also specify the managed server and discover port, when prompted.

For Oracle Web Services Manager:

Do you want to specify a cluster name (y/n) <y>n

Enter Managed Server and Discover Port (eg WLS_WSM1:9991, WLS_WSM1:9991) : WLS_ WSM1:9991,WLS_WSM2:9991

Running CacheWatcher

For Oracle WebCenter Spaces:

Do you want to specify a cluster name (y/n) <y>n

Enter Managed Server and Discover Port (eg WC_SPACES1:9988, WC_SPACES2:9988) : WC_SPACES1:9988,WC_SPACES2:9988

■ Exclude JOC configuration for some managed servers.

The script allows you to specify the list of managed servers for which the JOC configuration "DistributeMode" will be set to ’false’. Enter 'y' when the script prompts whether you want to exclude any servers from JOC configuration, and enter the managed server names to be excluded, when prompted.

For Oracle Web Services Manager:

Do you want to exclude any server(s) from JOC configuration (y/n) <n>y Exclude Managed Server List (eg Server1,Server2) : WLS_WSM1,WLS_WSM3

For Oracle WebCenter Spaces:

Do you want to exclude any server(s) from JOC configuration (y/n) <n>y Exclude Managed Server List (eg Server1,Server2) : WC_SPACES1,WC_SPACES3

■ Disable the distribution mode for all managed servers.

The script allows you to disable the distribution to all the managed servers for a specified cluster. Specify ’false’ when the script prompts for the distribution mode. By default, the distribution mode is set to ’true’.

You can also configure the Java Object Cache using the HA Power Tools tab in the Oracle WebLogic Administration Console, as described in Chapter 16, "Using HA Power Tools."

Verify the Java Object Cache configuration using the CacheWatcher utility. See

Section F.2, "Running CacheWatcher."

F.2 Running CacheWatcher

You can use the CacheWatcher utility to verify your Java Object Cache distributed configuration. CacheWatcher itself becomes a member of the Cache cluster. For this example, the managed servers in the cluster are WLS_Server1 and WLS_ Server2:

■ WLS_Server1 is running on APPHOST1.

■ Start CacheWatcher on APPHOST2. WLS_Server2 should be down.

To run CacheWatcher:

1. For ORACLE_HOME, use the location of the Oracle Web Center installation. For example, MW_HOME/Oracle_WC1.

2. For DOMAIN_HOME, use the full path to the location of your domain, under

MW_HOME/user_projects/domains.

3. Server_Name refers to a managed server name. For example, WLS_Server2. Cachewatcher can use the same javacache.xml file that the Managed Server would use.

4. On APPHOST2, execute the following:

"java -classpath ORACLE_HOME/modules/oracle.javacache_

Running CacheWatcher

F-4 Oracle Fusion Middleware High Availability Guide oracle.ias.cache.CacheUtil

watch -config=DOMAIN_HOME/config/fmwconfig/servers/<Server_Name>/javacache.xml 5. At the CacheWatcher's prompt, type lc and then press Enter.

A group view appears.

The group view indicates the number of cache members. The following is an example of a CacheWatcher run:

java -classpath MW_HOME/modules/oracle.javacache_11.1.1/ cache.jar:MW_HOME/modules/oracle.odl_11.1.1/ojdl.jar oracle.ias.cache.CacheUtil watch -config=DOMAIN_HOME /config/fmwconfig/servers/WLS_Server_Server/javacache.xml" cache> lc

After starting CacheWatcher on each host, find two members from the view.

Note: CacheWatcher itself is considered a distributed cache instance. To terminate the CacheWatcher shell, type exit and press Enter.

Configuring Distributed Notifications for

MDS

The MDS database repository has the ability to use Java Object Cache for caching MetadataObjects and their contents. Each node using MDS has its own Java Object Cache instance and will cache MetadataObjects as they are read from the repository by that node, invalidating them from the local cache when local updates to documents comprising that MetadataObject occur.

MDS does not use Distributed Java Object Cache for replicating MetadataObjects. MDS will detect changes made to the repository by other nodes whenever a local change is flushed to that repository and invalidate the relevant local cache entries accordingly. In addition, each cluster member polls the repository every 30 seconds (this is the default interval, which can be configured) to learn if any documents have changed and will invalidate local cache entries in the same way.

However, the MDS database repository also has the capability of sending cluster-wide notifications when a document in that repository is changed by a cluster member. When this feature is enabled, all the cluster members are notified of changes to documents when the change occurs, instead of waiting for a local commit to be performed or for the repository poll to be run. Therefore, in a high availability environment, it is recommended for performance reasons to enable distributed notifications. Configuring the distributed Java Object Cache on every cluster member enables distributed notifications. When a cluster member receives notification of a change to a document, it invalidates its current local version of that document and uses the updated document instead.

For this feature to work, you must configure Java Object Cache on each node, ensure that the JNDI name that each node is using to refer to the repository is the same on every node, and polling must be enabled (it is enabled by default, but it must not be disabled).

For instructions on configuring the distributed Java Object Cache on the nodes in a cluster, see Section F.1, "Configuring the Java Object Cache."
