We recently enabled Extended HTTP Access Logging on our WebLogic Managed Servers. This adds the average response times and potentially several other valuable values to the WebLogic Access Log files. Unfortunately, the WebLogic Access Log file parser in Oracle Management Cloud Log Analytics does not know how to handle the […]

Smoke Escaping from a Black Box – how to tackle major production issues on a system that is not very transparent
This story is based on true events. It happened fairly recently. I was called into an organization that was experiencing performance and stability issues that affected mission critical processes. Every now and again, and increasingly frequently, their service bus stopped working. It appeared as if only a restart could get […]
Securing Oracle Service Bus REST services with OAuth2 client credentials flow (without using additional products)
OAuth2 is a popular authentication framework. As a service provider it is thus common to provide support for OAuth2. How can you do this on a plain WebLogic Server / Service Bus without having to install additional products (and possibly have to pay for licenses)? If you just want to […]
Implementing Authentication for REST API calls from JET Applications embedded in ADF or WebCenter Portal using JSON Web Token (JWT)
The situation discussed in this article is as follows: a rich client web application (JavaScript based, could be created with Oracle JET or based on Angular/Vue/React/Ember/…) is embedded in an ADF or WebCenter Portal application. Users are authenticated in that application through a regular login procedure that leverages the OPSS […]
Quick introduction to Oracle Container Registry–running one of Oracle’s prebaked images
Oracle has been active with Docker for quite some time now. From the first hesitant steps from some enthusiastic employees with Docker build files that helped people to get going with Oracle software in their experimental containers to a GitHub repo with a broad set of extensive Docker build files […]
Configuring Oracle Traffic Director 12c with WebGate
At a recent customer install, I was faced with configuring Oracle Traffic Director (OTD) 12.2.1.2.0 Webgate with Oracle Access Manager. Deploying Webgate on OD 12c is very well described in the documentation. See A Configuring OAM Agent (WebGate) for Oracle Traffic Director 12.2.1.2 There is however a flaw in the […]

Docker, Oracle Images and Cloud
Overview Oracle is embracing Docker – just like many other companies – as the de-facto standard in Container technologies. It has resulted in the certification of various Oracle products for running in Docker containers and even Oracle supported Docker images are available. Furthermore, Oracle offers 2 Cloud Service around containers: […]
Oracle Service Bus: Pipeline alerts in Splunk using SNMP traps
Oracle Service Bus provides a reporting activity called Alert. The OSB pipeline alerts use a persistent store. This store is file based. Changing the persistent store to JDBC based, does not cause pipeline alerts to be stored in a database instead of on disk. When the persistent store on disk […]
Expose custom application logging on WebLogic in Log Analytics
Custom applications – standard Java EE, ADF or other Fusion Middleware such as SOA Suite – on WebLogic can produce logging through the WebLogic Diagnostics Framework (WLDF). Simply put: write log messages using Logger classes similar to standard Java Log and Log4J – read this article by my colleague Aino […]
Setting Log Levels for Diagnostic Logging in WebLogic 12.2
Applications and framework libraries running on WebLogic produce logging at various levels: error, warning, information, debug (fine and finer). WebLogic allows us to specify what level of logging should be written to the log files. Under normal circumstances administrators will probably require no more than error or perhaps warning level. […]
WebLogic Server: Logging the SOAP action in the access.log
WebLogic Server allows you to customize your access.log. This can be very powerful if you want to monitor for example service response times in a tool like Splunk (see here). When working with SOAP services though, especially those with many operations, it can be insufficient to monitor services to the […]
Gebruik van de “Standaard Zaak-en Documentservices 1.1” van Kwaliteitsinstituut Nederlandse Gemeenten (KING), almede MTOM/XOP t.b.v. een koppeling tussen diverse applicaties (gerealiseerd binnen OSB 11g) aangaande het proces van vergunningverlening voor een organisatie in de publieke sector
Voor een organisatie in de publieke sector werd aan AMIS gevraagd om met behulp van Oracle Service BUS 11g, een koppeling te realiseren tussen diverse applicaties aangaande het proces van vergunningverlening, zodat de daarbij benodigde gegevens eenvoudiger geautomatiseerd verwerkt konden worden. Belangrijke randvoorwaarden uit het Solution Design waren: het hanteren […]

FTP Adapter Configuration for SFTP
Introduction At my current project incoming data files, located at a third party FTP server, have to be read using SFTP. Despite of several blog posts and the FTP Adapter documentation of Oracle, it took us a full day to get a working SFTP configuration. I use this blogpost to […]
Network considerations on an ODA X5-2
When you buy an Oracle Database Appliance (ODA) X5-2 off the shelve, you will get a machine with four times 10Gb copper Ethernet (bonded into two interfaces) for public communication and two 40Gb InfiniBand (bonded into one interface) for interconnect communication between the two ODA_BASE’s. You would think that should […]
