Installing ActiveVOS on Oracle WebLogic Technical Note 327
Oracle Weblogic Terminology During the Weblogic installation you may encounter a mix of standard and non- standard
technical terms from the Application Server technology space
The following is a list of some of the terms you may encounter as well as well as an explanation
of each
Domain
The logical collection of Weblogic managed server instances that are controlled by an individual
Administration Server and a Node Manager
Machine
It is a logical representation of a physical machine within the administrated domain A machine
must be defined for each server instance within a domain and would require additional
configuration for ActiveVOS such as (JDJ TODO) configuration of Work Managers
Node Manager
A utility application running on each physical machine that enables remote administrative
control of managed servers
Managed Server
The running J2EE container instance hosting applications and resources deployed ActiveVOS
Enterprise would reside in a single instance or in the case of a cluster several
Administration Server
Another type of server typically used for control of various managed servers Configuration of
the servers is usually here as well as setup of domain settings The web administration
interface is available usually on the default location when setup locally at
httplocalhost7001console
Logging
For server logging refer to ~ domainsltyour_domaingtserversltyour_servergtlogs
For Domain logging refer to Node Manager Logs usually ~ltwls_installgtcommonnodemanagernodemanagerlog
Installing ActiveVOS on Oracle WebLogic Technical Note 427
Installation Guidelines Please refer to the latest installation instructions at
Also for screenshots of a typical installation please refer to the appendix A at the end of this
technote
Quick Start Guide This section provides a quick series of steps as an outline for the installation of Weblogic and
ActiveVOS It can also be used as a section for experienced users of these applications as an
abbreviated installation guide
Download and Install Download Weblogic installer ActiveVOS server installer and JDBC libraries needed for ActiveVOS
installer The ActiveVOS installer can be run without configuration details The Weblogic
installer would require on the local system a server location and domain location
Bring up and Configure Weblogic Both Weblogic and a Node manager need to be running for an ActiveVOS installation A
machine data source and server need to be designated in a clean Weblogic installation
Machine setup would require only JVM identification record the name for server
designation
Server setup would require identifying machine for use Settings that impact ActiveVOS
are the Port location (defaulted to 8080 in ActiveVOS) and security realm (based on
JDBC LDAP or local identity list)
Data Source setup requires identifying your JDBC resource ActiveVOS to use This has to
be identical to the resource information passed to ActiveVOS configuration and
installation utility You will specify settings of the data source to be available to specific
servers required by the server hosting ActiveVOS
Database Configuration for Oracle Weblogic Before installing ActiveVOS on weblogic a JDBC data source needs to be configured To help
with the data source setup sample configurations for MySQL and Oracle databases are
described below
Configuring MySQL JDBC Database Source 1)-Create a database and a database user in MySQL
2)-In weblogic admin console gt JDBC gt Datasources gt create a new data source
Installing ActiveVOS on Oracle WebLogic Technical Note 527
3)-Specify data source parameters (URL driver class database user details)It should be noted
that the JDBC connection string should be of the following form
jdbc mysql server_nameportdatabase_nameuseUnicode=trueampcharacterEncoding=UTF-
8ampcharacterSetResults=utf8
4) - Start the managed server(s) or the cluster On the Target tab select the server or the
clusters on which you would like to deploy this JDBC data source
5)-Test the data source Make sure it connects successfully
Configuring Oracle JDBC Database Source 1)-Create a database and a database user in oracle
2)-In weblogic admin console gt JDBC gt Datasources create a new datasource
3)-Specify datasource parameters (URL driver class database user details)
4) - Start the managed server(s) or the cluster On the Target tab select the server or the
clusters on which you would like to deploy this JDBC data source
5)-Test the data source Make sure it connects successfully Sample screenshots for setting up
the data source are shown below

Installing or Updating ActiveVOS Enterprise
1 Using weblogic console gt Deployments gt Install you can installupdate ActiveVOS ear file (ave_weblogicear) on the managed server (make sure the managed server is running) Another way to updateinstall ActiveVOS server and ActiveVOS central is to run the installer utility ndash config_deploybat (please see the appendix at the end of this document for sample installation screenshots) While running the installer utility you can always refer to the contextual help in each of the screens ActiveVOS also provides two other modes of installation ndash console mode and silent mode Please refer to the following link for more information
2 After you have installed ActiveVOS server and central here are a couple of steps you would
need to perform to get ActiveVOS server up and running
A In weblogic console gt Deployments start ActiveVOS server and ActiveVOS central B Navigate to ActiveVOS console using the URL - httpserver_nameportactivevos C Login using a user credentials who is a member of abAdmin role (please see the identity
management section of this document to setup users and roles in weblogic) D Navigate to Admin gt License Add the license Navigate to Admin gt Server Status and
start the server Make sure it starts without any errors E Navigate to Admin gt Identity Service and configure the identity service and test for a
couple of users You may also want to configure the Email service F Navigate to ActiveVOS central using the URL - httpserver_nameportactivevos-
central Login using a user credentials who is a member of abTaskClient
Installing Weblogic in a Cluster A cluster can be defined as two Weblogic managed server instances these share a domain name
and multicast address are controlled by the same Work Manager and Administrative server For
more information please refer to weblogic documentation
Installing or Updating ActiveVOS Enterprise in a Cluster
1 Using weblogic console gt Deployments gt Install you can installupdate ActiveVOS ear file (ave_weblogicear) on a cluster Another way to updateinstall ActiveVOS server and ActiveVOS central is to run the installer utility ndash config_deploybat (please see the appendix at the end of this document for sample installation screenshots)
2 After you have installed ActiveVOS server and central here are a couple of steps you would
need to perform to get ActiveVOS server up and running
A In weblogic console gt Deployments start ActiveVOS server and ActiveVOS central
Installing ActiveVOS on Oracle WebLogic Technical Note 927
B Navigate to ActiveVOS console using the URL - httpserver_nameportactivevos
C Login using a user credentials who is a member of abAdmin role (please see the identity
management section of this document to setup users and roles in weblogic)
D Navigate to Admin gt License Add the license Navigate to Admin gt Server Status and
start the server Make sure it starts without any errors
E Navigate to Admin gt Cluster Make sure all the nodes are up and running In case a
particular node is stopped click on the node and click Start Engine
F Navigate to Admin gt Identity Service and configure the identity service and test for a couple of users You may also want to configure the Email service
G Navigate to ActiveVOS central using the URL - httpserver_nameportactivevos-
central Login using a user credentials who is a member of abTaskClient
Identity management for ActiveVOS in Weblogic While running the installer utility you can secure your admin console so that only the
authenticated users have access to the ActiveVOS Server and the deployed processes Also the
ActiveVOS central is by default secured To provide permission to required groups of users to
access ActiveVOS you would need to set identity service in ActiveVOS console The links below
provide more information on ActiveVOS security setup
WLS security realm would use an LDAP provider as a source for Authentication Once this
provider is created or any change to LDAP provider settings the servers and most likely the
Administration server would require a restart
To add an Active Directory Based Provider
Under Domain Structure Navigation Tree select Security Realms then my Realm (the default realm created)
Installing ActiveVOS on Oracle WebLogic Technical Note 1427
Select the Provider tab the Authentication sub-tab and click New to add a provider The next screen will allow entry of a name and a type of provider to use in this case ActiveDirectoryAuthenticatior
Once created your local LDAP settings need to be added Select the provider click the Provider Specific tab and update your LDAP settings here Additionally setting the Control Flag under the Common tab would be needed for native WLS credentials to work Restart the server
Login to ActiveVOS console gt Admin gt Identity Service set up the LDAP based identity service and test it as shown below
