DOCKLINKS in a weblogic clustered environment.

From: bob_blakely (2013-01-30 16:07)

We are using Maximo 7.1.1.9 Weblogic 9.2 on Win2008R2 64bit server with an Oracle 11g backend.
We are changing over to a clustered environment and wondered if there is anything we need to do with our linked documents to make sure that it is available to all the managed servers. It looks like all we need to do is deploy the DOCLINK directory along with maximo, and maximo help to the cluster. Just wondering if that's all we need to do or if there is some maximo properites that need to change. I'm not seeing anything about it in the Systems Admin guide.
Thank You!

Off the top of my head, that seems like that is all that is needed. Assuming the Cluster exists on one physical machine, so the Doclinks folder would be available to any cluster member.

Thanks Sean! I was just checking with the rest of the community so to avoid the surprises when I turn it over to the users for testing. J

Hmmm. It is acting strange. It's like it has buffered the folders and files so when I make a change I do not see the change.
I tried it from a non-clustered server and it works ok.
I created the test.txt file the other day and was able to see the contents.
I update the sentence to include some additional information then tried to display it again. I see the original contents, not the new contents.
I create another file test2.txt. It does not see the file.
It's acting like it put the DOCLINKS folders into memory so not seeing the changes.
None of the stand alone environments have this problem. They see my changes, and new files.
I checked the Console and the DOCLINKS deployment is pointing to the correct folder. I went to the TEST tab and tried displaying test2.txt from there. It also did not see the new file. I even verified the spelling and case.
Any thoughts??
Thanks

Clustered servers are "stand alone" in the sense that a change to one isn't a change to the other until you restart them. IF you're adding folders and doctypes - you will need a restart of each server. It's not until 7 that you can do a system properties refresh.
If you're talking a file that you uploaded and that's now not acting the same - I'd need more information as to what you're doing and the configuration of the servers. But a "file" uploaded and saved off is never held in memory by Maximo...

Thanks for the info. No, I left the folders and doctypes alone. All I was doing was adding another test.txt file to the DOCLINKS folder.
Basically like any other install I deploy the DOCLINKS folder to the cluster (with all managed servers selected).
Managed servers:

Hmmm. It is acting strange. It's like it has buffered the folders and files so when I make a change I do not see the change.
I tried it from a non-clustered server and it works ok.
I created the test.txt file the other day and was able to see the contents.
I update the sentence to include some additional information then tried to display it again. I see the original contents, not the new contents.
I create another file test2.txt. It does not see the file.
It's acting like it put the DOCLINKS folders into memory so not seeing the changes.
None of the stand alone environments have this problem. They see my changes, and new files.
I checked the Console and the DOCLINKS deployment is pointing to the correct folder. I went to the TEST tab and tried displaying test2.txt from there. It also did not see the new file. I even verified the spelling and case.
Any thoughts??
Thanks

Off the top of my head, that seems like that is all that is needed. Assuming the Cluster exists on one physical machine, so the Doclinks folder would be available to any cluster member.

Subject: [MAXIMO List] DOCKLINKS in a weblogic clustered environment.
We are using Maximo 7.1.1.9 Weblogic 9.2 on Win2008R2 64bit server with an Oracle 11g backend.
We are changing over to a clustered environment and wondered if there is anything we need to do with our linked documents to make sure that it is available to all the managed servers. It looks like all we need to do is deploy the DOCLINK directory along with maximo, and maximo help to the cluster. Just wondering if that's all we need to do or if there is some maximo properites that need to change. I'm not seeing anything about it in the Systems Admin guide.
Thank You!

If you check the file from the file URL (\\spu52\SPU_Maximo\EVAL\DOCLINKS<file:///\\spu52\SPU_Maximo\EVAL\DOCLINKS> etc) and it displays correctly, and you check it from the doclinks URL (http://spumaximoevl:7002/DOCLINKS etc) and it displays correctly but doesn't display correctly in a browser connected through Maximo and you've cleared the browser's cached - it's being cached somewhere else in the network (or on your local machine) and served to you.
On that note however; you're showing 3 doclinks servers ... you don't really need three - all instances of Maximo can use a single instance of the doclinks server (unless you need redundancy...) as a matter of fact, any system capable of serving the file when presented with a HTTP request (IIS, Apache, etc) can serve the file. There is a slight possibility that you're uploading it from one and trying to retrieve it from another (session persistence??) and that instance is or has cached the file for presentation?

Clustered servers are "stand alone" in the sense that a change to one isn't a change to the other until you restart them. IF you're adding folders and doctypes - you will need a restart of each server. It's not until 7 that you can do a system properties refresh.

Clustered servers are "stand alone" in the sense that a change to one isn't a change to the other until you restart them. IF you're adding folders and doctypes - you will need a restart of each server. It's not until 7 that you can do a system properties refresh.
If you're talking a file that you uploaded and that's now not acting the same - I'd need more information as to what you're doing and the configuration of the servers. But a "file" uploaded and saved off is never held in memory by Maximo...

Hmmm. It is acting strange. It's like it has buffered the folders and files so when I make a change I do not see the change.
I tried it from a non-clustered server and it works ok.
I created the test.txt file the other day and was able to see the contents.
I update the sentence to include some additional information then tried to display it again. I see the original contents, not the new contents.
I create another file test2.txt. It does not see the file.
It's acting like it put the DOCLINKS folders into memory so not seeing the changes.
None of the stand alone environments have this problem. They see my changes, and new files.
I checked the Console and the DOCLINKS deployment is pointing to the correct folder. I went to the TEST tab and tried displaying test2.txt from there. It also did not see the new file. I even verified the spelling and case.
Any thoughts??
Thanks

Off the top of my head, that seems like that is all that is needed. Assuming the Cluster exists on one physical machine, so the Doclinks folder would be available to any cluster member.

Subject: [MAXIMO List] DOCKLINKS in a weblogic clustered environment.
We are using Maximo 7.1.1.9 Weblogic 9.2 on Win2008R2 64bit server with an Oracle 11g backend.
We are changing over to a clustered environment and wondered if there is anything we need to do with our linked documents to make sure that it is available to all the managed servers. It looks like all we need to do is deploy the DOCLINK directory along with maximo, and maximo help to the cluster. Just wondering if that's all we need to do or if there is some maximo properites that need to change. I'm not seeing anything about it in the Systems Admin guide.
Thank You!
