OHS Vs OTD (Oracle Traffic Director)

OHS
OTD
OHS is primarily an Apache based web server  and can do forward and reverse proxy functionality
OTD is primarily a high performant HTTP and TCP software load balancer, designed for scalability and high throughput
a Web Server is required to serve static content and also to do proxy capability, then OHS is a better choice.
If full fledged software load balancer with request throttling, draining, Quality of Service, is required then OTD is probably a better choice
OHS can be used to deploy some static content.
OTD does not expose the ability to serve static contents.
OHS is used when high throughputs are not required.
Used when looking for better monitoring / troubleshooting / tuning for high throughput deployment requirements
Used when it is fine to restart the web servers occasionally for configuration changes.
No Downtime required for applications as backend servers can be added/removed dynamically.

HTTP responses from the backend servers can be cached. OTD provides a built-in mechanism for caching .

Developing Prepopulate Adapter with OIM 11g R2

1.      Prepopulate Adapter in OIM uses the plugin point oracle.iam.request.plugins.PrePopulationAdapte r. 2.      Write the Java code which returns the value which has to be populated on the form. 3.      This code will implement the plugin point oracle.iam.request.plugins.PrePopulationAdapte r. Code Snippet: - package com.oracle.oim.utility.eventhandler; import java.io.Serializable; import java.util.Iterator; import java.util.List; import java.util.logging.Logger; import oracle.iam.identity.exception.NoSuchUserException; import oracle.iam.identity.exception.UserLookupException; import oracle.iam.identity.usermgmt.api.UserManager; import oracle.iam.identity.usermgmt.vo.User; import oracle.iam.platform.Platform; import oracle.iam.platform.authz.exception.AccessDeniedException; import oracle.iam.request.exception.RequestServiceException; import oracle.iam.request.vo.Beneficiary; import oracle.iam.request.vo.RequestData; public c

OIM Tuning

Application Module tuning is a critical setting which will affect the UI performance. Following are the recommended application module settings for OIM and these are already set out-of-box (OOB) in later releases of OIM 11g R2. Ensure that these settings are implemented as recommended in your environment. -Djbo.ampool.doampooling=true -Djbo.ampool.minavailablesize=1 -Djbo.ampool.maxavailablesize=120 -Djbo.recyclethreshold=60 - Djbo.ampool.timetolive=-1 -Djbo.load.components.lazily=true - Djbo.doconnectionpooling=true -Djbo.txn.disconnect_level=1 - Djbo.connectfailover=false -Djbo.max.cursors=5 - Doracle.jdbc.implicitStatementCacheSize=5 - Doracle.jdbc.maxCachedBufferSize=19 open DOMAIN_HOME/bin/setDomainEnv.sh file for the WebLogic Server instance.find these lines: JAVA_OPTIONS="${JAVA_OPTIONS}" export JAVA_OPTIONS and change it to: JAVA_OPTIONS="-Djbo.ampool.doampooling=true -Djbo.ampool.minavailablesize=1 -Djbo.ampool.maxavailablesize=120 -D

What is Application Instance

Application instance is a provisionable entity. It is a combination of IT resource instance (target connectivity and connector configuration) and resource object (provisioning mechanism) . Creating and managing application instances are performed by using the Oracle Identity System Administration. Once Created Application Instance can be requested from the catalog. Application instances can be connected or disconnected.  Connected application  instance -It has a connector defined for the provisioning of entities. Account is created in the target system real time in case of connected Application Instance. Disconnected  application instance - It is used for the provisioning of a disconnected resource, for which  a connector is not defined, and therefore, the provisioning is performed manually by the administrator. A mail trigger system can also be attached which sends the account creation/modification/deletion mails to the application owner.
