Why Build

• One year project to look for packaged solution

• Multiple LOBs converging on one customer

• Integration of Customer Support, Sales, and others

• Tightly integrated with other core IDEXX systems

• Over 30 different user groups

• Custom built to IDEXX processes where necessary and standardized globally where needed

• Technology • Scaled for World Wide Use (e.g. 1 support team, standardization)

• Advantages of self build (e.g. avoiding license costs)

• Data and services are re-usable for multiple functions

Beacon is Mission Critical

• Global CRM

• Over 1300 customer facing employees depend on it for their day to day activities

• Critical integration points and 360 view of the customer that no other system has

16

Beacon is Mission Critical

• Four Call Centers around the world that use Beacon as their primary system for customer support across 10 lines of business

• Global field sales force that uses Beacon as their primary system

for managing all sales activities and data • Beacon is the initial entry point for sales opportunities and quotes

which means downtime has a direct impact to the revenue stream of the company

• Over 30,000 different data elements used throughout the application from several different sources to include SAP. By consolidating and caching this domain data in Coherence we are able to manage it in a single place with different rules for categories of data that change on daily, weekly, or monthly basis. 17

Questions & Answers

19

Middleware Architecture

Oracle HTTP Servers• Static Content• Proxy (mod_wl)

Oracle Service Bus• Security Checks• Proxy Services

Beacon WebLogic Domain – 3 Clusters, 3 Nodes each & 1 Coherence Cluster, 3 Storage Enabled Nodes

Weblogic 10.3.6Coherence 3.7.1.1SOA Suite 11.1.1.6.0Service Bus 11.1.1.6.0Web Tier 11.1.1.6.0

20

Middleware Architecture

ActiveCache − Out-of-Process topology:

Standalone Coherence cache servers to host the data

True, separate data tier

Reduces WebLogic server overhead.

Applications join the coherence cluster via module descriptors:

weblogic.xml – these descriptors can be changed via deployment plans.

21

Application Usage and Flow

Example of 24-hour Usage:

OSB -1000 Requests (per

minute each JVM)

WLS - 300 Requests (per

minute each JVM)

Coherence Caches -

Thousands of objects,

millions of gets

and puts.

22

Enterprise Manager 12c R3 Configuration

Overview - Enterprise Manager 12c R3 Configuration:

Set up standalone JMX management node

Add integration properties to nodes

Configure JVMD and download jamagent

Add coherence cluster to Enterprise Manager12c R3

Set up target properties using emcli

NOTE: This is basic configuration of adding the coherence targets along with JVMD.

JVM Diagnostics is part of Enterprise Manager. It primarily enables administrators to diagnose performance problems in Java applications.

23


Set up standalone JMX management node:

Use following in addition to ‘tangosol.coherence.member ’ & ‘oracle.coherence.machine’ properties

coherenceEMIntg.jar and bulkoperationsmbean.jar in classpath. These jars are available in <PLUGIN_HOME>/<MIDDLEWARE_MONITORING_PLUG-IN_DIRECTORY>/archives/coherence directory.

oracle.sysman.integration.coherence.EMIntegrationServer – use this as main class

tangosol.coherence.management.refresh.expiry=30s or 1m

Coherence remote JMX properties

24


Configure WebLogic Servers & Cache Nodes

Arguments for integration with Oracle Enterprise 12c :

tangosol.coherence.member – unique name for each node in the cluster, it can’t be blank oracle.coherence.machine – host name string used to setup host target, for association between node and host targets

Sample: -Dtangosol.coherence.machine=wmecrmp01.idexxi.com -Doracle.coherence.machine=wmecrmp01.idexxi.com -Dtangosol.coherence.mode=prod -Dtangosol.coherence.localhost=wmecrmp01.idexxi.com -Dtangosol.coherence.member=wl_pr1_01 -Dtangosol.coherence.session.localstorage=false -Dtangosol.coherence.override=/fmw/domains/crm_fmw_pr1_wme/config/coherence/crm_cache_dv1/tangosol-coherence-override.xml

25


Modify coherence servers and download jamagent:

Download the jamagent from the OMS in setup > middleware management > application performance management

Select JVMs and Pools. Click Download.

Classpath:

/fmw/products/coherence_3.7/jamagent.war

Arguments:

jamagent.jamrun jamconshost=wmeoemp1.idexxi.com jamconsport=3800

jampool=crm_cache_pr1 jamjvmid=crm_cache_pr1/cache_pr1_01 -

Doracle.coherence.jamjvmid=crm_cache_pr1/cache_pr1_01

26


Add coherence cluster to Enterprise Manager12c R3:

Login to Enterprise Manager 12c R3 console to

add the coherence cluster as a target.

Setup > Add Target > Add Targets Manually

Select Add Targets Using Guided Process.

Select Oracle Coherence Cluster Discovery

from

the Target Types drop-down menu.

27


28


Setting up target properties using emcli:

At this time the OMS does not

support propagation of target

properties to the coherence cache

members.

Login to emcli.

Find targets.

Set properties using a properties file.

29


Best Practices:

Treat EM 12c as an enterprise tool from the beginning, not a database tool or middleware tool. Not even a standalone monitoring tool.

Define some simple goals. Define and create an “add target administrator.”

Use monitoring templates. Keep EM 12c clean and manage incidents. If it’s not

a problem, adjust the monitoring templates. If it’s a problem fix it, EM is telling you something is wrong!

Use blackouts on down targets or targets undergoing maintenance.

Lock users down by default, open target and resource privileges when needed.

Take time to understand the credential system and use it to your advantage. 30


Our Environment:

Almost 5000 targets

63 database instances

3 Exadata systems (development ExaLogic

will be added soon)

32 WebLogic domains, 193 WebLogic

servers, 41 coherence caches, 31 Oracle

httpd servers

121 hosts

31


32

Node Performance View:

Monitor network performance –

Send/Receive Success Rate Per

Min (%)

Check Memory Used After GC

wrt to the Max allocated for

each pool (old/nursery)

Check frequency and overhead

of GC (old vs young)


Cache Performance View:

Compare hits vs misses

See hits on front cache

See hits on back cache,

misses on front.

See events per min

Check out each cache

33


Cache Data Management:

Several operations, view data, delete data, insert, update, view explain plain.

Create shared credentials for cache administrator access to the caches.

NOTE: We are still working on this as we need to be able to share credentials at the cluster level and have it propagate to all member caches.

34


JVMD Live Thread Analysis:

Real-time thread view.

See and export STUCK

threads.

Determine bottleneck on

slow running threads, DB,

IO, network, etc.

35


JVMD cross tier SQL Analysis:

Drill down from live thread

view on jdbc waits to see

SQL.

Top SQL queries.

Top DBWait events.

36


JVMD Heap Analysis:

Memory leak reports.

Load in heap on totally

separate hosts.

Export reports for

development teams.

37


SOA & Defining Services:

The basic concept within SOA is that of a

Service

A self-sufficient endpoint

Well defined functionality

Service level agreement

Monitored and managed

38


Create a system:

Pick members

Dependent targets

Availability Criteria

39


40


Create a service:

Choose test type

Define a beacon

Performance Metrics

Usage Metrics

41


42


43

Wish List

Shared credential propagation to members

Have coherence targets be members of a

WebLogic domain

Target shared credentials at specific EM features like SWB (support workbench).

Add target rights based on host.

OSB cluster level aggregation

Better CSI model – too many CSIs.

Only see patch recommendations based on MOS ID and CSIs to which you have access.

WLST Commands similar to the way OS commands work.

Corrective action library job library tighter integration.

Corrective actions update when the library job is updated
