Configuring TIBCO MDM for WebLogic Application Server

Using the Configuration wizard, create a WebLogic domain.

1. Configure the Server
   1. Start the WebLogic application server.
   2. Verify that an instance of WebLogic is running by logging into the admin console (use the user name and password you provided during domain creation)
      Note: Click Lock & Edit on the left panel before you make any configuration changes (not applicable in case of WebLogic 10.3).
2. Set up Timeout Seconds
   1. Go to Domain > Configuration > JTA tab.
   2. Set the Timeout Seconds to 36000.
   3. Click Save.
3. Enable the Archived Real Path to dynamically deploy the resource files of a customized page that is built using UI Builder and to improve the page loading performance.
   1. Go to Domain > Configuration > Web Application.
   2. Select the Archived Real Path Enabled check box.
   3. Click Save.
   4. Click Activate Changes. The servlet returns the real path of the resource files during run time. Else, it returns null and the deployment of customized pages does not work.
4. Set up JDBC Drivers for Oracle - WebLogic
   1. In the left pane, expand Services > > Data Sources. The Summary of JDBC Data Sources screen is displayed.
   2. In the Data Sources section, click the New button to create a new data source. The following three options are displayed: Generic Data Source, GridLink Data Source, and Multi Data Source.
   3. Select the Generic Data Source option.
   4. In the Name field, specify a name for the JDBC Data Source.
      Note: The name and JNDI name should be eCMDataSource.
   5. Select Database Type as Oracle.
   6. Click Next. The Create a New JDBC Data Source screen is displayed.
   7. Select Oracle’s Driver (Thin) for Service Connections; Versions: 9.0.1 and later from the Database Driver drop-down list.
   8. Click Next. Click Next on the following screen.
   9. Enter the details in the Database Name, Host Name, Port, Database User Name, Password and Confirm Password fields. Note that the Database Name = SID.
   10. Click Next.
   11. Click Test Configuration.
   12. Click Next. You are prompted to select targets to deploy your new JDBC data source.
   13. Select the Server and click Finish.
5. Configure the Connection Pool
   1. In the left pane, click Services > > Data Sources > > eCMDataSource. The Settings for eCMDataSource screen is displayed.
   2. Click the Connection pool tab.
   3. Expand Advanced at the bottom of the screen.
   4. Select the Test Connections on Reserve check box.
   5. Specify 7200 in the Inactive Connection Timeout field.
   6. Specify 10 in the Maximum Waiting for Connection field.
      Note: Maximum Capacity for connection settings is 100.
   7. Select the Ignore In-Use Connections and Remove Infected Connections Enabled check boxes.
   8. Click Save. The connection pool configuration for the eCMDataSource is saved.
   9. Copy the following files from %TIBEMSDIR%\lib to %BEA_HOME%\user_projects\domains\domain name\lib and $MQ_HOME/lib/external

   • tibcrypt.jar
     tibjms.jar

6. Modify the startWebLogic.cmd or startWebLogic.sh file.
   1. Ensure that the WebLogic Application Server is running.
   2. Edit the startWebLogic.sh or startWebLogic.cmd file located under $BEA_HOME/user_projects/domains/domain_name/bin to add the following lines in the # START WEBLOGIC section:
      Note: If you are using Windows operating system, replace $ with %text% in the following example:

      java ${JAVA_VM} ${MEM_ARGS} ${JAVA_OPTIONS} 
      -Dweblogic.Name=${SERVER_NAME} 
      -Dweblogic.management.username=${WLS_USER} 
      -Dweblogic.management.password=${WLS_PW} 
      -Dweblogic.ProductionModeEnabled=${STARTMODE} 
      -DMQ_HOME=${MQ_HOME}
      -DMQ_CONFIG_FILE="${MQ_HOME}/config/ConfigValues.xml" 
      -DMQ_COMMON_DIR=${MQ_COMMON_DIR} 
      -DOS=HP-UX 
      -DORACLE_HOME=${ORACLE_HOME}
      -DNODE_ID=Member1
      -DMQ_LOG=${MQ_LOG} 
      -DTNS_ADMIN=${ORACLE_HOME}/network/admin 
      -DPATH=${MQ_HOME}/bin:${WL_HOME}/server/bin:${WL_HOME}/common/bin:${ORACLE_HOME}/bin:/usr/bin 
      -Djava.security.policy="${WL_HOME}/server/lib/weblogic.policy" weblogic.Server

      Note: If you want to deploy Configurator in WebLogic, set the following parameter:

      -Dcatalina.home=${MQ_LOG}

   3. If you deploy TIBCO MDM on Solaris Sparc,
   • Add the TMPDIR variable and set it to any directory location.
   • Specify the following JVM parameter:

     -Djava.io.tmpdir=${TMPDIR}

   1. Optional: To improve the TIBCO MDM performance, add the following JVM parameter while starting the application server:

      -Dorg.apache.xml.dtm.DTMManager="org.apache.xml.dtm.ref.DTMManagerDefault"

   2. To monitor application server JVM, add the following JVM arguments:

      -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false 
      -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false 
      -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=9999

   3. Set up TIBEMSDIR=path environment variable for EMS installation. For example: set TIBEMSDIR=C:\Tibco\ems5.1\ems\5.1
   4. The CLASSPATH set in the WebLogic startup script must include the location of the JAR files. Include the following JAR files in the CLASSPATH variable.
   • Windows:

     %TIBEMSDIR%\lib\tibjms.jar;
%TIBEMSDIR%\lib\tibjmsapps.jar;
%TIBEMSDIR%\lib\tibrvjms.jar;
