Setting up JDBCLoginTimeoutSeconds thru Weblogic Admin Console - oracle

We are facing server hang issue at start up if one of Database not available. I have looked into weblogic documentation and find we can overcome this issue by setting up 'JDBCLoginTimeoutSeconds' property on ServerMBean.
I have googled it and mostly found ways to configure thru code or xml configuration. We don't want to make any code change and do not have direct access to server xml configuration. So just wanted to know if there is a way to setup this property thru Admin Console.

Using the WebLogic console, open the datasource configuration. Then on the Connection Pool tab, set the Initial Capacity to 0. This will prevent WebLogic from doing an initial check on the database during startup. The server will start properly even if the database is not available.

IBM wsadmin - How to get the status of an application per application server

I'm having issues getting the status of an Application on a specific Application Server inside of IBM's WebSphere product. I can get into the wsadmin scripting console, and issue:
print AdminApp.list("WebSphere:cell=MYCELL,node=NODE01,server=WPS00")
and get a list of applications installed on the AppServer itself, however, when I issue the command:
print AdminApp.isAppReady("Application01")
its obviously looking through the whole cell. Then I attempted to use:
print AdminControl.completeObjectName("WebSphere:type=Application,name=Application01,*")
it won't return anything because its in partial start. So I tested this against an application that was already fully running, and it showed all of my mBeans that it corresponded to. Specifying a server in the completeObjectName option doesn't work even with the fully running application.
How do I reliably get the status of an application on a specific application server so I can restart just what needs to be restarted and not the application across the whole AppTarget?
AdminControl.queryNames("WebSphere:type=Application,name=yourappname,*")
will return one mbean for each instance of the app that is running.
Each mbean's object name will include the node and server name.
To query an app's status on a specific server, add the Nodename and servername to the above queryNames call. Getting an mbean back means it's running, getting nothing back means it's not.
Try this:
AdminControl.queryNames("type=Application,name=Application01,cell=MYCELL,node=NODE01,server=WPS00,*")
Put the '*' to get you all the attributes defined for the mbean and remove WebSphere from the string.

How to Connect to Local JNDI using WAS v8.5

So I have a couple MQs set up in WASv8.5. I have tested these and they work fine, now I need to test some functionality. In order to do this I downloaded the "New" MQJExplorer and I noticed the ability to load JNDI from a context. Now since the Websphere instance is running locally can I just hook directly into the Websphere Context? I tried selecting Websphere Application Server and it gives me an address box starting with
iiop://
I tried using...
iiop://localhost
but that didn't work and neither did
iiop://localhost:9064
I tried looking about iiop and I couldn't really find how to enable it on WebSphere. How can I make this work?
Make sure the port is Bootstrap Port and also you may try adding providerURL under WAS console: Environment > Naming > Name Space Binding.

Websphere CWWIM6004E

I am trying to start an application in Websphere 8, and keep on getting the following error.
From the message, it means we are missing the bindPassword, but we never have to define in WAS 6.1
Currently we are using Standalone LDAP registry. Does anyone have any idea where I should start looking to fix this error?

In regards to ".... never have to define in WAS 6.1"
The requirement for a LDAP bind password is enforced by the LDAP server, this is not a WAS requirement
If in fact you didn't define it in WAS v6.1, the LDAP server in use for WAS V6.1 didn't require it.
Based on the error, you've either changed LDAP servers or the LDAP server configuration has changed (or both)
As mentioned in the other post, you can troubleshoot this using a tool like ldapsearch
The technote at http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21470063 discusses obtaining "must gather" and troubleshooting these types of issues (refer to the "collecting data manually" section)
You must check your ldap connection to the ldap server
User IBM WebSphere Console, Security settings, LDAP and take note about the LDAP connection settings.
Use a tool like ldapsearch in order to check the connection via shell command line.
It is possible that these bind password is not correct.
If you are using un Novell eDirectory Server you must take special attention in the bind user creation ( field password )

WebSphere to Oracle - doesn't accept correct password

In WebSphere 6.1 I have created a datasource to an Oracle 11g instance using the thin JDBC client.
In Oracle I have two users, one existing and another newly created.
My websphere datasource is OK if I use the component-managed authentication alias of the existing user, but fails with "invalid user/password" message if I use the alias of the new user. The error message is:
The test connection operation failed for data source MyDB (Non-XA) on
server nodeagent at node MY_node with the following exception:
java.sql.SQLException: ORA-01017: invalid username/password;
logon denied DSRA0010E: SQL State = 72000, Error Code = 1,017.
View JVM logs for further details.
There is nothing in the JVM logs. I have grepped all websphere logs and they do not mention my connection at all.
I can confirm that the username and password are correct by logging in via SQLPlus or (to prove the JDBC connection is OK) via SQuirreL.
I have checked in Oracle that the new user has all the system privs that the existing user has.
Any thoughts on what is going on or how I can debug this further?
Just FYI. I am guessing you are running WebSphere in Network Deployment mode.
This behavior you're experiencing is actually by design.
The reason for it is that the "Test Connection" button you see on the admin console, invokes the JDBC connection test from within the process of the Node Agent. There is no way for the J2C Alias information to propagate to the Node Agent without restarting it; some configuration objects take effect in WebSphere as soon as you save the configuration to the master repository, and some only take effect on a restart. J2C aliases take effect on restarts.
In a Network Deployment topology, you may have any number of server instances controlled by the same Node Agent. You may restart your server instances as you'd like, but unless you restart the Node Agent itself, the "test connection" button will never work.
It's a known WebSphere limitation... Which also exists on version 7.0, so don't be surprised when you test it during your next migration. :-)
If this happens to anyone else, I restarted WebSphere and all my problems went away. It's a true hallmark of quality software.
Oftentimes when people tell me they can't log into Oracle 11g with the correct password, I know they've been caught out by passwords becoming case-sensitive between 10g and 11g.
Try this :
data source definition
security
use the j2c alias both autentication managed by component and autentication managed by container
IBM WAS 8.5.5 Knowledge Center - Managing Java 2 Connector Architecture authentication data entries for JAAS
If you create or update a data source that points to a newly created J2C authentication data alias, the test connection fails to connect until you restart the deployment manager.
After you restart the deployment manager, the J2C authentication data is reflected in the runtime configuration. Any changes to the J2C authentication data fields require a deployment manager restart for the changes to take effect.
The node agent must also be restarted.
I have point my data source to componenet-manage authentication as well as container-managed authentication.Its working fine now........

Error while shutting down 'Admin Server' from weblogic enterprise management console

I am using Weblogic Server em console to restart a webserver, URL looks like this:
http://localhost:7001/em/
AdminServer is named 'AdminServer', I wish to restart this server instance,
I click on server in EM console then user menu option like this:
(Weblogic server>Control>Shut Down...) I get this error:
'No Machine associated with server AdminServer. Please associate a machine to this weblogic server using weblogic console first.'
Not able to understand what this means....
What am i missing here?
With Oracle WebLogic, a Machine represents... well, a physical machine (and you can associate Servers i.e. WebLogic instances to it). This is not a fundamental concept except when using Node Managers. In general, you create Machine(s), Server(s) and their association with the configuration wizard at domain creation time.
It is however possible to add a Machine from the console (Environment > Machines > New):
But you can't add a RUNNING Server to a Machine with the console, which will be a problem for the admin Server. So, I'd recommend to use the configuration wizard to extend your existing domain and add Machine(s).
Note that all this will only solve the "shutdown problem", restarting will involve Node Manager which is very likely not configured.
