• Standardized on OPatch
– $ORACLE_HOME/OPatch
• Common commands:
– apply
– napply
– lsinventory
– rollback / nrollback
• Applying a patch
$> opatch apply $PATH_TO_PATCH_DIR
WebLogic 12.1.2 and Beyond – Patching

• Use Configuration Wizard
• In headless environments
– WLST
– Unpack
– Maven
– Last option: java weblogic.Server :-)
• Known Linux issue
– Set environment variable
CONFIG_JVM_ARGS with
-Djava.security.egd=file:/dev/./urandom
Domain Configuration

Domain Configuration Wizard Hidden Gem for Devs
• New Configuration Settings
export CONFIG_JVM_ARGS=-Dcom.oracle.cie.config.showProfile=true
$WL_HOME/common/bin/config.sh

NodeManagers in WLS 12.1.3 and Beyond

NodeManager
• Per-Host Configuration
– Multiple Domains enrolled for one NodeManager instance in a Machine

NodeManager
• Per-Domain Configuration
– Multiple NodeManagers in same Machine
– One Domain only per NodeManager
– Easier setup; works with (un)pack

Upgrade Path for NodeManagers
Node Manager Upgrade Paths From 12.1.2 or Earlier From 12.1.2 or Greater
Per-domain to per-domain Not available Not available
Per-domain to per-host Not available Not supported
Per-host to per-domain Supported Supported
Per-host to per-host Manual Manual

Reconfiguration Wizard / WLST
• If existing configuration is per-domain, wizard automatically updates config
to work in 12.1.3 without any input by user
• If is per-host, then shows Node Manager configuration page. User is
required to define extra parameters
cd $WL_HOME/common/bin
./reconfig.sh
readDomainForUpgrade(‘/u01/domains/wlsadmin’)
cd(‘wlsadmin’)
updateDomain()
closeDomain()

WebLogic Server 12.1.3 – Cloud Scale Management
Dynamic Clusters Update
Oracle Confidential – Internal/Restricted/Highly Restricted 18
• WebLogic 12.1.2 dynamic clusters
support JMS
• WebLogic 12.1.3 adds Whole
Server Migration support
• Roadmap for providing ASM,
UOO, SAF in 12cR2
Simplify Configuration of
HA JMS Clusters Dynamic Clusters

Whole Server Migration for Dynamic Clusters

RESTful Management

REST Management
• REST is practical
– Does not require any software previously installed in any device
– Standard, lightweight, simple, and cross-platform to manage WLS
• Works in the Cloud
– Natural way to interface with systems hosted in the Cloud
• Mobile
– Easy to implement Mobile clients

Enabling RESTful Management Resources
• On the Admin Web Console, select Domain, click Advanced, and choose
“Enable RESTful Management Services”
• Or use WLST:
connect(‘weblogic’, ‘Welcome1’, ‘host01’)
edit()
startEdit()
rest=getMBean(‘RestfulManagementServices/’ + domainName)
rest.setEnabled(true)
activate()

Executing REST Requests
$ curl –v
--user weblogic:Welcome1
-H X-Requested-By:MyClient
-H Accept:application/json
-X GET http://host01:7001/management/wls/latest
Path Description
/configManager Manages the administration edit session
/datasources Manages Data Sources
/servers Manages servers
/deployments Manages application deployments
/jobs Lists all running tasks in domain
/targets Lists all servers/clusters in the domain

Modifying Data Sources through REST
$ curl -v --user weblogic:Welcome1
-X OPTIONS
http://host01:7001/management/wls/latest/datasources > dsopt.txt
-H Content-Type:application/json
-D '`cat dsopt.txt`'
-X POST http://host01:7001/management/wls/latest/datasources
• Extract information about datasources into ‘dsopt.txt’
• Modify file and upload back to the Admin server to apply changes

Deleting a Data Source through REST
-X DELETE
http://host01:7001/management/wls/latest/datasources/id/MyDataSource-0

Partial Java EE 7 Support in WLS 12.1.3

Partially Supported APIs
• Enabled by default
– WebSockets 1.0
– JSON-P 1.0
• JAX-RS 2.0
– Defaults to JAX-RS 1.1 (Java EE 6)
– By deploying jax-rs-2.0.war shared library
– Then referenced by applications
• JPA 2.1
– Defaults to JPA 2.0 (Java EE 6)
– By adjusting commEnv.sh PRE_CLASSPATH
• Or apply patch 17814796 (MOS; OPatch)
– Application persistence.xml must set JPA version = 2.1
PRE_CLASSPATH=$MW_HOME/oracle_common/modules/javax
.persistence_2.1.jar:$MW_HOME/wlserver/modules/com.oracl
e.weblogic.jpa21support_1.0.0.0_2-1.jar

Replicated Store for WebLogic on Exalogic

Cooperative Memory Management
• WebLogic Servers react to work overload by reading memory usage in a
machine
• Reactions may be
– Reducing cache sizes
– Compressing in-memory data
– Rejecting new work
• Servers recover gracefully as system improves

JDBC Statement Cache Adapting
-Dweblogic.jdbc.cmm.statementCacheWeights=
1=10,2=10,3=10,4=10,5=10,
6=10,7=10,8=10,9=10,10=10

JDBC Statement Cache Adapting
-Dweblogic.jdbc.cmm.statementCacheWeights=
2=20,4=20,6=20,8=20,10=20

Data Source Connection Shrinking
• Memory Pressure Default Threshold
• When memory pressure hits configured
threshold an event is fired and
pool is shrinked
• When goes above another event is fired
to shrink connection pool again
• How to configure (CMM must be enabled; see doc)
-Dweblogic.jdbc.cmm.shrinkThreshold=[0-10]

Java Mission Control and Flight Recorder

• Tool to monitor Java processes in
real time
• Bundled with Oracle JDK >= 7u40
• Access to Local and Remote JVMs
– Secured access feature available
• Run ‘jmc’
Mission Control

Flight Recorder
• Circular Flight Recording Buffer
– Minimum overhead;
– user defined size/age
• JVM Event Producer
• WebLogic Event Producer (WLDF)
• Custom Event Producers
• How to enable
-XX:+UnlockCommercialFeatures -XX:+FlightRecorder
• How to invoke on demand
$ jcmd 5368 JFR.start duration=60s filename=myrecording.jfr
