Weblogic things to be known

Domain : In the WebLogic Server we can have many domains. Each domain will have one admin server and many managed servers. CLustering can be achieved from only the servers in the same domain

Admin Server : THis server is used to maintain the domain configurations. It maintains servers,machines and Deployments mainly

Managed Server : There can be many managed servers in a domain. The multiple servers can be in the same machine or in the different machine.

Clusters : In one domain we can have many clusters. Each cluster will consist of the set of servers in the same domain. We cannot do clustering between the servers in the different domain.

Heartbeat messages will be used to check the health of each server in the cluster. Either it user unicast/multicast. Multi cast is not much used.

Machines : There can be many physical machines in a domain. Machines will be used while creating servers.

Alfresco WorkDesk set up steps

Steps required for WorkDesk set up

1. Set up the database, Scripts are available for setting different databases. We will consider setting it up with mysql

C:\Users\bpatil\Desktop\Workdesk\db\scripts\create_mysql_databases

Execute all the sql files so that it sets the user,database and tables which needs to be used later in workdesk configuration

2. Copy the mysql connector jar to the location C:\Alfresco\tomcat\lib and copy the workdesk folder to C:\Alfresco\tomcat\webapps from the downloaded zip file

3. Now configure the workdesk to look into the application cmis_prof by changing web.xml in the location C:\Alfresco\tomcat\webapps\workdesk\WEB-INF

OwResourceFilePath

deploy#WEB-INF/conf/cmis_prof

4. Configure the datasource in workdesk.xml in the location C:\Alfresco\tomcat\conf\Catalina\localhost

auth="Container"

type="javax.sql.DataSource"

factory="org.apache.tomcat.dbcp.dbcp.BasicDataSourceFactory"

username="owdemo"

password="owdemo"

driverClassName="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"

url="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/owd?autoReconnect=true"

maxWait="1000"

removeAbandoned="true"

maxActive="30"

maxIdle="10"

removeAbandonedTimeout="60"

logAbandoned="true"

validationQuery="select 1"/>

5. Change owbootstrap.xml in the location C:\Alfresco\tomcat\webapps\workdesk\WEB-INF\conf\cmis_prof to connect to the configured data source

java:/MySQLDS

6. Restart alfresco server and login to alfresco to see the below screen
