Installation Overview
Important: In this document:
■WE_HOME is the directory in which Wireless Edition is
installed followed by the "panama" sub-directory. For example:
c:\ias10210\pan ama (Windows)
/private/ias102 10/panama (UNIX)
Replace "WE_HOME" with the fully-qualified directory path.
■ORACLE_HOME is the directory in which Or acle9 i
Application Server is installed.
1.1 Installation Overview
The Oracle9i Application Server installation includes three options:
■Oracle HTTP Server
■Standard Edition
■Enterprise Edition
Wireless Edition is installed as part of each of these options. The Oracle9i Application
Server Installation Guide discusses each option, and discusses the installation ste p s
specific to Wireless Edition. The Installation Guide defines Wireless Edition and
Oracle HTTP Server hardware and software requirements, preinstallation tasks
(setting environment variables), port numbers, starting and stopping the Oracle
HTTP Server, and the Wireless Edition client configuration.
For a new installation of Wireless Edition, follow the steps in this document starting
with the manual configuration in Section 1.2. If you have a previous release of
Wireless Edition installed see Section 1.3.

1.2 Manual Configuration
After installation, perform the manual conf iguration steps described in this section:
■Section 1.2.1, "Configure Oracle HTTP Server and JServ"
This section describes the configuration of the Oracle HTTP Server and JServ.
1.Configure the httpd.conf file. The httpd.conf file is in the ORACLE_
HOME/Apache/Apache/conf directory.
a.Create an alias for this release of the Personalizatio n Portal. This is needed
so that the application server can find the
http://hostname/portal/ L ogin.jsp URL. Include the following in the Alias
section:
Alias /portal/ "WE_HOME/server/p ortal/"
Manual Configurat ion
b. To access a previous release of the Personalization Portal, in addition to this
release, create an alias. This allows the application server to find the
http://hostname/papz/login.jsp URL. Include the following in the Alias
section:
Alias /papz/ "W E_HOME/server/pap z/"
c.Create an alias for the Javadoc directory. Include the following in the Alias
section. This step is optional.
Alias /ptgdoc/ "WE_HOME/doc/java doc/"
2.Configure the jserv.conf file. The jserv.conf file is in the ORACLE_
HOME/Apache/Jserv/etc directory. In the ApJServMount section, add the
Wireless Edition specific mount point:
ApJServMount /p tg /root
3.Configure the jserv.properties file. The jserv.properties file is in the ORACLE_
HOME/Apache/Jserv/etc directory.
Overview 1-3

Manual Configuration
a.
Verify that the Java Virtual Machine is version 1.2.2. For example:
Note: Perform the following step before the Oracle HTTP Server is
started. The Personalization Portal requires this step for generating
the correct image.
1-4 Oracle9i Application Server Wireless Edition Configuration Guide
Page 21
Manual Configurat ion
4.
For UNIX only, to display the images from the Personalization Portal properly,
set the DISPLAY environment variable in the jserv.properties file to configure
access to the host on which the server runs:
a.If the X server runs on the same machine as the Wireless Edition server, set
the DISPLAY environment variable in the jserv.properties file as follows:
wrapper.env=DIS PLAY=:0.0
From the X server host machine (x_server_host_name in the following
example) run the following command:
xhost + <x_serv er_host_name>
b. If the X server runs on a different machine (x_server_host_name in the
following example) than the Wireles s Edition server, set the DISPLAY
environment variable in the jserv.properties file as follows:
wrapper.env=DIS PLAY=<x_server_ho st_name>:0.0
From the X server host machine, run the following command using the
Wireless Edition host (wireless_edition_host_name in the following example):
xhost + <wirele ss_edition_host_n ame>
Note: For both cases, remain logged into the Con sole while the
xhost commands are executed. Otherwise, properties set through
the xhost command may be lost and images may not be displayed
properly in the Personalization Portal.
5.
Configure the zone.properties file. The zone.properties file is in the ORACLE_
HOME/Apache/Jserv/etc directory.
a.In the List of Repositories section, add the Wireless Edition specific
repository to the existing repository line with a comma (,) separator:

servlets.startu p=oracle.panama.P armImpl
In the Servlet Aliases section, add the Wireless Edition specific servlets:
c.
servlet.rm.code =oracle.panama.Pa rmImpl
1.2.2 Configure ProxyFirewall.properties
If a proxy server is used to access an external web site from Wireless Edition,
configure the ProxyFirewall.properties file:
1.Set http.use.proxy to true. For example:
http.use.proxy= true
2.Specify the correct host in http.proxy.host. For example:
http.proxy.host =www-proxy.us.ora cle.com
3.Specify the correct port in http.proxy.port. For example:
http.proxy.port =80
Note: For a list of property files provided by Wireless Edition, see

(WIDL), is installed as part of the Wireless Edition client. For more information, see
Section 1.6.
Overview 1-9
Page 26
Wireless Edition Client
1.6 Wireless Edition Client
The Wire less Edition client runs only on the Windows platform. The client
installation consists of the following:
■Service Designer
■Web Integra tion Developer
1.6.1 Service Designer
The Service Designer is a visual interface for implementing and managing services
in Wireless Edition. It creates and modifies Wireless Edition objects, including
adapters, transformers, and services. The Service Designer provides a tree view of
the Wireless Edition repository. This tree displays Wireless Edition objects classes,
such as adapters and transformers, as folders or branch nodes. It shows instances of
those classes as objects or leaf nodes.
The Service Designer is installed during the Wireless Edition client installation. See
the Oracle 9i Application Server Wireless Edition Implementation Guid e for information
on using this tool.
1.6.2 Web Integration Developer
Web Integra tion Developer is a development environment for creating and testing
Web Integra tion services written in We b Interface Definition Language (WIDL). The
Web Integra tion Developer includes tools for publishing WIDL services for the Web
Integration Server.
The Web Integra tion Developer is installed during the Wireless Edition client
installation. For installation instructions, see the Oracle 9i Application Server
Installation Guide.
Note: The Web Integration Developer includes its own Java
Virtual Machine (JVM). It does not require any Java setup.
To configure the Web Integration Developer:
1.Run the Web Integration Developer from the Windows Programs menu. Select
Programs, Oracle for Windows, Wireless Edition, and Web Integration
Developer.
1-10 Oracle9i Application Server Wireless Edition Configuration Guide

2.
From the Edit menu, select Preferences, and then Configuration.
3.Enter the Proxy (HTTP) and the Secure Proxy (HTTPS) settings appropriate for
your environment.
4.Click OK.
1.7 OCI8 JDBC Driver
The default configuration of Wireless Edition uses the Oracle THIN JDBC driver.
For a production environment, the Oracle OCI8 JDBC driver is required, as it
provides improved performance, concurrency, scalability, and multi-byte support.
Additionally, this driver is required if the Oracle Parallel Server option is used.
To configure Wireless Edition to use the Oracle OCI8 driver:
1.Verify that ORACLE_HOME is the directory under which Wireless Edition has
been installed.
a.On Windows: Modify the jserv.properties file to include the PATH of the
directory where the OCI library (ocijdbc8.dll) is installed. The default is
ORACLE_HOME\bin.
wrapper.path=<O RACLE_HOME>\bin
OCI8 JDBC Driver
On UNIX: Verify that the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable
b.
includes the directory where the OCI libraries (libocijdbc8.so and
libocijdbc8_g.so) are installed. The default is ORACLE_HOME/lib.
2.Modify the System.properties file to change the driver and the connect string
You can integrate your repository with an existing provisioning system using one of
the following:
1.You can manage users by creating a service with the Wireless Edition
provisioning adapter. The provisioning adapter supports the Wireless Edition
services that create, search for, update, and delete users at runtime.
2.Use the LoadXml utility to import users from a flat XML file that conforms to
the Repository DTD. This utility enables you to create and update user
information. For more information on the L oa dXML utility, see Section 8.2.
3.Use the Wireless Edition data model API to programmatically create users. A
model example is provided in the WE_HOME\sample\mod el di rectory. Also,
see the Javadoc and Oracle9i Application Server Wireless Edition Developer’s Guide
for more information on the data model API.
1.9 Geocoding Setup
Wireless Edition provides basic geocoding through the provider MapInfo . To
expand the geocoding capability to includ e other providers, see the Oracle9i
Application Server Wireless Edition Implementation Guide. Additionally , if a proxy
server is used to access an external web site (including the MapInfo provider) from
Wireless Edition, configure the ProxyFirewall.properties file:
1.Set http.use.proxy to true. For example:
http.use.proxy= true
2.
Specify the correct host in http.proxy.host. For example:
http.proxy.host =www-proxy.us.ora cle.com
3.Specify the correct port in http.proxy.port. For example:
http.proxy.port =80
1.10 JDBC Connection Pooling
Pooling for JDBC connections im proves resource utilization and avoids connection
establishment overhead. A set of configurable parameters for this connection pool is
provided in the System.properties file. For more information see Section 10.2.
1-12 Oracle9i Application Server Wireless Edition Configuration Guide
Page 29
JDBC Connection Pooling
Connection pooling under Wireless Edition session managem en t supports server
environments that include short-lived threads, long-lived threads (thread pool
model), or a combination of short-lived and long-lived threads. The following
system properties apply to the connection pooling mechanism:
#Minimum number of connections f or the connectio n pool
db.connect.minC onnections=5
#Maximum number of connections f or the connectio n pool
db.connect.maxC onnections=100
#Incremental al location of new c onnections to th e connection pool
db.connect.incC onnections=1
#Time interval (in seconds) for the watchdog to find and release unused
#connections to the connection p ool
repository.sess ion.check.interva l=1
Note: To control the maximum idle time for any database
connection, configure it through the Oracle data server.

oracle.panama.module.communicate.mail.util.IConfig, and in package
oracle.panama.module.communicate.mail.util. In the class, you can define the
following methods:
Table 2–5 Mail configuration class
String getMailService(Object o)Returns the mail service. The current
supported services are IMAP and POP3.
String getDomain(Object o)Returns the default mail domain.
String getServerName(Object o)Returns the mail server host name.
int getServerPort(Object o)Returns the mail server port number. Make
sure it is a valid number.

2.3.0.3.4 Configuration of URL Adapter in PTG 1.1 ServiceDesigner
Mail and Directory applications can be run through the URL Adapter i n PTG 1.1. To
do so, you must create a Master Service and a Service Alias. Here are the steps (for
details, refer to the PTG documentation):
1.Open Service Designer and connect to a PTG 1.1 instance.
2.Open the Master Services folder at the top level.
You can create a new Master Service in an existing folder or create a new folder and
then create the Master Service in that folder. In the example, the Master Service
"Mail" is created under the folder "Admin".
IMPORTANT: Oracle Corporation recommends that the service not
to be created at the root level directly under Master Service.
3.Choose URL Adapter for the new service.
4.In the "Input Parameters" tab, under "Value", put the URL of the application.
5.Create a service alias (for example: http://pc1.company.com/mail.jsp) for the
new service under the "Service Trees" folder. The alias should point to the
Master Service created. In the example below, the service alias "Mail" is created
under the "Apps" folder under "Service Trees". Oracle Corporation also
recommends that the alias not be created at the level directly under Service Trees. The alias should point to /master/Admin/Mail.
6.Create an alias for users that points to the service alias created in the previous
step. In the example below, the service alias "Mail" is created under the
"Administrator" folder located under "Service Trees". This means the service is
available for the user "Administrator".

Alerts and SMS Request Listener
Alerts and SMS Request Listener discusses alerts and the SMS Request Listener in
Wireless Edition. Each section of this document presents a different topic. These
sections include:
■Section 3.1, "Overview"
■Section 3.2, "Alerts"
■Section 3.3, "SMS Request Listener"
■Section 3.4, "Request and Notification Queue Pool"
Important: In this document WE_HOME is the directory in which
Wireless Edition is installed followed by the "panama"
sub-directory. For example:
c:\ias10210\pan ama (Windows)
/private/ias102 10/panama (UNIX)
Replace "WE_HOME" with the fully-qualified directory path.

3.1 Overview
Alerts, in the Wireless Edition, are time-based scheduled services. Alerts are
executed when the scheduled time expires. The result, if any, after the service is
executed, is delivered to the end user at the default alert address . The Wireless
Edition can accept either email or phone numbers as the alert address. If the default
alert address is an email address , the result is delivered as an email message. If the
default alert address is a phone number, the result is delivered as a SMS. The alert
Alerts and SMS Request Listener 3-1
Page 46
Alerts
3.2 Alerts
and alert address can be created by end users through Wireless Edition
personalization from the desktop computer or the device.
Services in Wireless Edition can be invoked through the HTTP protocol and through
SMS. Users can invoke the services through SMS with the corresponding service
name. However, currently only services without input arguments can be invoked
through SMS. The result of the service execution is returned as another SMS. The
capability is provided through the SMS Request Listener. [[Is this still true?]]
Alerts, which are time-based scheduled services, are placed in the request queue
when they are created. The result of the alert execution, if any, is placed in the
notification queue. The alert functionality in the Wireless Edition requir es the
installation of the Oracle8i JOB and AQ options.
Important: The aq_tm_processes parameter in the init.ora file
must be set to at least "2" for the processing of asynchronous alerts
in Wireless Edition.
3.2.1 Requ es t Qu eu e
The request queue stores all the alerts to be executed. The Wireless Edition
processes an alert as follows:
1.An alert is created or updated with a start date and a specified interval when
the user creates a time-based scheduled service. The alert is placed in the
request queue.
2.When the specified time expires, the alert is activated and executed. The result,
if any, is placed in the notification queue with the alert creator’s default alert
address. The alert with an updated next execution time is placed back in the
request queue.
3.If the alert fails to be executed for any reason, the alert is not placed back in the
request queue. It can only be reactivated by updating the start date through the
Personalization Portal.
3-2 Oracle9i Application Server Wireless Edition Configuration Guide
Page 47
3.2.2 Notification Queue
The result of an alert execution, if any, together with the alert creator’s default alert
address, is placed in the notification queue. The Wireless Edition dequeues
notification messages out of the notification q ueue. If the alert address is an email
address, the result is sent out as an email message. If the alert address is a phone
number, the result is sent out as SMS to the specified phone number.
3.2.3 Email-based Alert
If the result of a delivered alert is an email message, set the following entries in the
Notification.properties file in the WE_
HOME\server\classes\oracle\panama\core\admin directory:
# The smtp serv er hostname, mand atory <hostname>
mail.server.nam e=
# The mail doma in name, set if S MTP server requi res this <domainn ame>

3.2.4 SMS-based Alert
If the result of a delivered alert is a SMS message, configure the
Notification.properties file in the WE_
HOME\server\classes\oracle\panama\core\admin directory.
3.2.4.1 SMS-C Server
Configure the following entries to specify the host on w hich the SMS-C is running:
# the hostname on which the SMS- C is running
sms.server.name =
# the port on the sms.server.name f rom which the SMS-C i s listening the incom ing

Edition can also use the URL connection to the SMS-C server when sending the
SMS message. In this case, provide the correct URL to the SMS-C server:
sms.server.url=
3.2.4.2 SMPP Protocol
If the SMPP protocol is used to communicate between the Wireless Edition
and SMS-C when sending the notification message, set:
sms.driver.clas s=oracle.panama.u til.sms.SmsSMPPD river
Set the following entries with the appropriate values:
# The SMPP syst em id <string>

3.2.4.3 SMS Protocol
When sending the SMS message, the Wireless Edition can use either the Universal
Computer Protocol (eith er operation 01 or operation 51 command set), or the Short
Message Peer-to-Peer (SMPP) protocol to communicate with the SMS-C.
3.2.4.4 UCP Protocol

Note: The followin g configuration is not required if the SMS
Request Listener will not be provided to the end user.
The SMS Request Listener allows the invocation of any Wireless Edition service
using a SMS message. The SMS Request Listener processes the SMS-based service
invocation request and returns the result, if any, as a SMS message by performing
the following:
1.Authenticate the user by finding the alert address with the actual phone
number.
2.Invoke the service.
3.Place the result, if any, after invoking the service, in the notification queue.

4.2 Database Logging
Wireless Edition database logging records each authenticated service invocation
request and each successful user session. Database logging is required for
performance monitoring and measurement using Oracle Enterprise Manager. The
logged information includes service access patterns, response times for services,
and the number of sessions. This data can be used by remote management tools to
display results such as service access patterns, throughput, and average response
times. Database logging is handled asynchronously.
Logging 4-1

4.2.1 Configuring the Database Logger
The database logger of a Wireless Edition instance must point to a database schema
to log the information. This configuration is done in the System.properties file of
each Wireless Edition instance.

# Usage example: log in as system and say "grant select any table to %PANAMA_
USERNAME%"
#SystemLog.db.c onnect.string=%PA NAMA_USERNAME%/% PANAMA_USER_PW%@% PANAMA_
HOST%:%PANAMA_P ORT%:%PANAMA_SID%
If the SystemLog.db.connect.string parameter is set, logged information is stored in
a separate database. This parameter should not be set if the logged information is to
be stored in the same repository.
Note: The database user name used here (the one replacing
%PANAMA_USERNAME%) must have select access to all tables.
In this example "PANAMA" is Wireless Edition.
4.2.2 Database Table Contents
Data logged to the database is stored in two tables, ptg_service_log and ptg_
session_log.

4.3 Service Designer Logging
By default, the Service Designer writes error information to the log directory of the
Service Designer home directory. You can modify this setti ng, and the log naming
pattern, in the preferences.xml file. The file is in the WE_
HOME/tools/ServiceDesigner/resources directory.
4.4 Server Logging
The Wire less Edition writes server error information to the files and directory
specified in the System.properties file. You can open the log files directly, or view
them from the Wireless Edition Runtime Information and Management interface
(the Probe interface) at port 8090. Click the "Files" link.
The Wireless Edition specifies these types of errors:
In addition to error messages, the Wireless Edition provides extensive runtime
exception logging. When fatal exceptions occur, the Wireless Edition logs the
exceptions and stack traces in the global log file. If you need to contact Oracle
Support Services, you should have the log information available.
4.5 Transaction Logging
The transaction log is a log file on the Wireless Edition server that provides
information regarding user access. To enable transaction logging, you must include
transaction logging as a log level in the System.properties file. For example:
log.level=Warni ng, Error, Notify , Transaction
Logging 4-5
Page 58
Configuring the Runtime Monitor and Management
You can us e the System.properties file to set the directory to which the Wireless
Edition writes transaction logs, and to specify a file name pattern for the log files.
You can also configure the transaction record pattern.
If you enable transaction logging when a user accesses a service that has a cost
value set, the transaction log generates data. You can set a cost for a master service
using the Wireless Edition Service Designer. You can access the transaction log data
programmatically, to generate billing information or to integrate th e Wireless
Edition transaction information with an external billing management system.
The following sample shows the log results of four stock quote queries by a single
user. The sample uses the default logging pattern, which you can modify in the
System.properties file. It lists the time of access, the user name (Sample), the
service, and the price per access (25):
4.6 Configuring the Runtime Monitor and Management
The probe is a daemon that displays runtime information a b out:
■Log files
■Active objects
■Active sessions
■Active threads
The probe performs simple runtime management including:
■Shutting down an active object instance.
■Refreshing persistent attributes on an active object.
■Setting the global debug flag to on or off.
■Reloading properties for device recognition when adding a new device to a
running system.
By default, installation of Wireless Edition installs and initiates the probe runtime
monitor with the listening port 8090. To access the probe from a browser enter the
following URL:
http://host_name:8090

Multiple Instances on Sa me M ach ine as Ora cle HTTP S erve r
5.2 Multiple Instances on Same Machine as Oracle HTTP
Server
To configure multiple JVM instances on the same machine:
1.Modify the jserv.conf file so the Oracle HTTP Server is aware of the multiple
JServ instances that are running. Start each of these JServ instances manually.
Insert the following statements after any existing statements in the sectio n that
begins with <IFModule> and ends with </IFModule> in the jserv.conf file. The jserv.conf file is in the ORACLE_HOME\Apache\JServ\conf directory.
a.Modify the following:
<IfModule mod_jser v.c>
ApJServManual o n
b.
Running multiple instances of JServ requires a manual start for each
instance:
ApJServMount /p tg balance://set1 /root
W1, W2,...WN are integers that determine the load-balancing weight
c.
assigned to each of the instances. T o balance equally among all instances; do
not specify Wx; the weight value must be an integer. Weight can be decid ed
on the relative load you want each JServ to handle. Requests for /ptg are
load-balanced on set "set1":
JS1 to JSN are routing cookies. These can be set to any unique string for
e.
each entry.

2.Start the Oracle HTTP Server.
ORACLE_HOME\Apa che\Apache\Apache.ex e -k start -d
ORACLE_HOME\Apa che\Apache
Create and modify the jserv.properties files for each of the instances. Make
3.
copies of the default jserv.properties files for each of the instances, for example,
jserv1.properties, jserv2.properties. The jserv.properties f ile is in the
ORACLE_HOME\Apache\JServ\conf directory. Modify the files:
a.Port which the instance uses to communicate with Apache using the AJP
protocol. x corresponds to each of the JServ instances 1...N.
port=777x
b.
The log file. For Unix, ensure that the JServ process owner has write
permissions for this file:
log.file=ORACLE _HOME\Apache\Jser v\logs\jservx.lo g
c.This allows only clients from the local machine to access the JServ instances:
security.allowe dAddresses=127.0. 0.1
d. Change the location of class files specific to the JServ instance from:
wrapper.classpa th=<WE_HOME>\serv er\classes
to:
wrapper.classpa th=<WE_HOME>\serv er\classesx
4.To enable cache synchronization among the database instances, modify the
Wireless Edition specific properties files. The default location for these files is in
the <WE_HOME>\server\classes directory. Create copies of this directory
5-4 Oracle9i Application Server Wireless Edition Configuration Guide
Page 65
Multiple Instances on Sa me M ach ine as Ora cle HTTP S erve r
structure and modify the structure so that each of the JServ instances have
unique port numbers and other resources. For example, these directories should
appear as <WE_HOME>\server\classesx, where x corresp onds to each of the
JServ instances 1...N. Modify the System.properties file in the <WE_
HOME>\server\classesx\oracle\panama\core\admin directory:
a.Set the unique identifier for the instance. x corresponds to each of the JServ
instances 1...N.
instance.identi fier=instancex
b. Set the following parameter to true for every instance to ensure that the
instance participates in cache synchronization:
participateInCa cheSynchronizatio n=true
c.This value should point to the machine and port where the Master Instance
for Cache synchronization is running. It should have the same value for all
instances. Ensure that the port number (2007 in this case) is the same as the
one specified by the rmi.registry.port parame ter in the Master.properties
file:
masterInstance. url=//localhost:2 007
Modify the properties files in Table 5–1. These files are in the <WE_
d.
HOME>\serv er \c l as sesx\oracle \ p anama\core directory. The
sub-directories are specified.
e.Run the following SQL scripts by connecting to the repository database as
the Wireless Edition database user. The scripts are provided in the <WE_
HOME>\server\classesx\oracle\panama\sql directory.
These port numbers can be any valid port on the machine running JServ
instances, only that they must not conflict with any other application using the
same port.
2.In each of the jserv.propertiesx files, change the bindaddress parameter to the
IP address of the machine running the JServ instance, and the
security.allowedAddresses parameter to point to the IP address of the machine
running the Oracle HTTP Server. For example:
On the machine running the Master Instance, modify the Master.properties file.
See Table 5–1 for more information.
5.Modify the system.properties file in the <WE_
HOME>\server\classes\oracle\panama\core\admin directory on all
machines:
a.Set the unique identifier for the instance:
instance.identi fier=instancex
b. Set the following parameter to true to ensure that the instance participates
in cache synchronization:
participateInCa cheSynchronizatio n=true
c.Set the following parameter to point to the machine and port where the
Master Instance for Cache synchronization is running. It should have the
same value for all instances. Ensure that the port number (2007 in this case)
is the same as the one specified by the rmi.registry.port parameter in the
Master.properties file.
Run the SQL script enable_cachesync_schema.sql by connecting to the
repository database as the Wireless Edition database user. The script
resides, by default, in the <WE_HOME>\sql directory.
e.Start the master server on the machine running the master instance by
running the script runMasterServer.bat in the <WE_HOME>\sample
directory.
6.Start each of the JServ instances manually using the batch script. See
Section 5.6.3 for a sample script.

Configuring the Personalization Portal for Load-Balancing
5.5 Load Balancing
When multiple instances are running, load balancing can be performed by a
separate machine. For example, there could be several Oracle HTTP Server
instances, each with a set of JServ instances balanced on a one-to-many basis by this
machine. The Oracle HTTP Server instances can perform load balancing by using a
hardware load balancer in front of the Oracle HTTP Server instances.
The main purpose of multiple JVM support in Wireless Edition is to provide
scalability through load-balancin g. There are three implementation s when setting
up load-balancing.
■Load-balancing among Oracle HTTP servers through hardware load-balancing.
■Load-balancing among Jserv instances with cookies.
■Load-balancing among Jserv instances with URL rewritin g.
5.5.1 Load-Balancing with Cookies
When intermediate gateways or proxies and the clients support cookies, load
balancing can be achieved using cookies:
1.Set the enable.http.session.binding parameter in all of the System.properties
files (on all machines, if more than one machine is invo lved) to true.
2.In the ORACLE_HOME\Apache\JServ\conf\zone.properties file set the
session.useCookies parame ter to true.
5.5.2 Load Balancing Through URL Rewriting
When intermediate gateways or proxies do not support cookies, load balancing can
be achieved through URL rewriting:
1.Set the enable.http.session.binding parameter in all of the System.properties
files (on all machines, if more than one machine is invo lved) to true.
2.In the ORACLE_HOME\Apache\JServ\conf\zone.properties file set the
session.useCookies parameter to false.
5.6 Configuring the Personalization Portal for
Load-Balancing
This section describes the configuration of the Personalization Portal in two
environments:
Multiple JVM Support and Load Balancing 5-9
Page 70
Configuring the Personalization Portal for Load-Balancing
■Section 5.6.1, "Clients/Gateways Support Cookies"
■Section 5.6.2, "Clients/Gateways Do Not Support Cookies"
5.6.1 Clients/Gateways Support Cookies
To set up the Personalization Portal when clients and/or interm ed iate gateways
support cookies, enable one of the load-balanced Wireless Edition instances to
service Personalization Portal requests. Modify th e jserv.conf file to change the
value of the ApJServDefaultPort parameter to the port number of any of the
load-balanc ed instances (Ap JServDefault P ort 7771).
5.6.2 Clients/Gateways Do Not Support Cookies
To set up the Personalization Portal when clients and/or intermediate gateways do
not support cookies, run a separate Wireless Edition instance to service
Personalization Portal requests.
1.Modify the jserv.conf file to change the value of the ApJServDefaultPort
parameter to the port number of any unoccupied port (ApJServDefaultPort
7774).
2.Create a copy of the jserv.properties file, for example, jserv4.properties
(assuming that there are three load-balanced instances running) fo r each of the
instances and modify the follow ing:
a.Set the port which the instance uses to communicate with Oracle HTTP
Server using the AJP protocol. This should be the same as the value set for
the ApJServDefaultPort parameter in the jserv.conf file.
port=7774
b. Set the log file. For UNIX ensure that the JServ process owner has write
permissions for this file.
log.file=ORACLE _HOME\Apache\Jser v\logs\jserv4.lo g
c.Ensure that only the Oracle HTTP Server talks to this JServ instance:
d. Change wrapper.classpath=<WE_HOME>\serv e r\classes to
wrapper.classpath=<WE_HOME>\server\classesx. This is the location of
class files specific to the JServ instance.
5-10 Oracle9i Application Server Wireless Edition Configuration Guide
Page 71
Configuring the Personalization Portal for Load-Balancing
3.
Copy the default zone.properties file in ORACLE_HOME\Apache\Jserv\conf
to zone_pp.properties. In this file, ensure that the session.useCookies
parameter has a value of true.
4.Modify the various Wireless Edition specific properties files. The default
location for these files is in the <WE_HOME>\server\classes directory. Create a
copy of this directory and modify the properties files so that each of the JServ
instances has a unique port number and other resources. For example, the
directory should appear as <WE_HOME>\server\classes. In the <WE_
HOME>\server\classes4\oracle\panama\core\admin\ directory, modify the
System.properties file.
a.Set the unique identifier for this instance:
instance.identi fier=instance
b. Set the following parameter to true to ensure that the instance participates
in cache synchronization:
participateInCa cheSynchronizatio n=true
Set the enable.http.session.binding to false.
c.
d. Set the following to point to the machine and port where the Master
Instance for Cache synchronization is running. It sho uld have the same
value for all instances. Ensure that the port number (2007 in this case) is the
same as the one specified by the rmi.registry.port parameter in the
Master.properties file on the machine running the Master instan ce.
masterInstance. url=//localhost:2 007
Set the following in the AsynchNotification.properties file in the <WE_
e.
HOME>\server\classes\oracle\panama\core\admin\ directory to:
server.listen.p ort=5500
f.Set the following in the AsynchRequest.properties file in the <WE_
HOME>\server\classes\oracle\panama\core\admin\ directory to:
server.listen.p ort=6500
g. Set the following in the Ftp.properties file in the <WE_
HOME>\server\classes\oracle\panama\core\admin\ directory to:
ftp.server.port =910
Multiple JVM Support and Load Balancing 5-11
Page 72
Configuring the Personalization Portal for Load-Balancing
h. Set the following in the Notification.properties file in the <WE_
HOME>\server\classes\oracle\panama\core\admin\ directory to:
sms.server.port =5000
Set the following in the Rmi.properties file in the <WE_
i.
HOME>\server\classes\orac le\panama\core\admin\ directory. This is
the port number on which the RMI server runs:
rmi.server.port =201
j.Set the following in the www-server.properties file in the <WE_
Set the following in the MAgent.properties file in the <WE_
HOME>\server\classes\oracle\panama\magent\config di rectory. This is
the same as the rmi.server.port setting in Rmi.properties in the <WE_
HOME>\server\classes\orac le\panama\core\admin directory.
magent.server.p ort=201
l.Set the path to the class files to reflect the per instance classes in the
Spatial.properties file in the <WE_
HOME>\server\classes\oracle\panama\spatial\ directory.
Now the instance can be started using the batch file in Section 5.6.3.

Oracle Enterprise Manager 6-1
Page 76
Overview
6.1 Overview
The use of Oracle Enterprise Manager with Wireless Edition provides:
■Performance mo ni t or i ng
■Fault management
■Configuration management
Performance Monitoring
The Oracle Enterprise Manager Diagnostic Pack includes Performance Manager and
Capacity Planner. The Performance Manager is a Windows NT client side tool for
viewing performance data collected by the Wireless Edition Cartridge. The Capacity
Planner allows you to archive and view performance data collected by the Wireless
Edition cartridge. This cartridge is used by the Data Gatherer to collect performance
data logged by the Wireless Edition runtime.
Fault Management
The event framework of Oracle Enterprise Manager enables asynchronous
notification of error information. When an error occurs, Wireless Edition generates
an Oracle Enterprise Manager event at the node where the error occurred. The event
provides the details necessary for fault diagnosis. The Oracle Intelligent Agent
running on each node picks up these events and forwards them to the Oracle
Enterprise Manager Console for display. You can con f igure the Console to page or
email the administrator.
Configuration Management
The configuration management framework provides a way to alter some runtime
parameters.
6.2 Prerequisites
To configure Oracle Enterprise Manager for use with Wireless Edition you must first
install the following com p onents:
■Oracle Enterprise Manager 2.2 with Diagnostic Pack
■Oracle Intelligent Agent 8.1.7
■Oracle Management Server 2.2

Configuring the Server, Client, and Middle-tier
6.3 Configuring the Server, Client, and Middle-tier
The Oracle Enterprise Manager configuration includes server side, client side, and
middle tier c on f i gu r ation instr u c t ions:
■The Oracle Enterprise Manager server side configuration involves the Oracle
Intelligent Agent and Data Gatherer. See Section 6.3.1.
■The Oracle Enterprise Manager client side configuratio n involves the Console
(the navigator and events) and Diagnostic Pack (Performance Manager and
Capacity Planner). See Section 6.3.2.
■The Oracle Enterprise Manager middle-tier configurat ion involves the Oracle
Management Server, specifically the configuration to receive threshold events
from the Data Gatherer Cartridge on the Console. See Section 6.3.3.
6.3.1 Configuring the Server Side
The server side configuration includes the configuration of the Oracle Intelligent
Agent and the Wireless Edition Data Gatherer Cartridge.
6.3.1.1 Configuring the Oracle Intelligent Agent
To config ure the Oracle Intelligent Agent on the server:
1.Install the Oracle Intelligent Agent 8.1.7 in ORACLE_HOME. If the Ora c le
Management Server is to reside on the same host as the Oracle Intelligent
Agent, ensure that the Oracle Management Server is also installed in the same
ORACLE_HOME.
Note: If running Oracle 8.1.6, perform a custom installation of
Oracle 8.1.7 Enterprise Edition. Select the Oracle Intelligent Agent
and its subcomponents. Insta ll it in a separate ORACLE_HOME.
2.Copy the file dgmetric.tcl from the WE_HOME/oem/agent directory to the
Oracle Intelligent Agent ORACLE_
HOME/networ k /ag e n t /e ve n t s/oracle/gen er i c /m e t ric directory. This
operation replaces the existing dgmetric.tcl file.
3.Copy the file ptg_services.tcl from the WE_HOME/oem/agent directory to the
ORACLE_HOME/n etwork/agent/config d irec t or y.
Oracle Enterprise Manager 6-3

Configuring the Server, Client, and Middle-tier
4.
Append the ptg_services.tcl file name to the nmiconf.1st file found in the
ORACLE_HOME/n etwork/agent/config d irec t or y.
The agent discovers the Wireless Edition service using these files.
5.Edit the ptg_services.tcl file to configure the instance(s) information. See
Section 6.4 for instructions on setting up the ptg_services.tcl file. Configuration
for a default instance name (PTG1) is provided as an example.
Note: The Oracle Intelligent Agent must be restarted whenever
any change is made to the ptg_services.tcl file or to the nmiconf.lst
file.
After completing the preceding instructions, install the Wireless Edition Data
Gatherer cartridge. The Oracle Intelligent Agent uses this cartridge to collect
Wireless Edition performance data. The Performance Manager and Capacity
Planner use the collected data to provide runtime metrics for diagnosis.
The cartridge installation steps differ according to the hardware platform.
6.3.1.2 Wireless Edition Data Gatherer Cartridge Installation: Unix
To install the data gatherer cartridge:
Important: The cartridge installation requires an Oracle Enterprise
Manager 2.2 Console and Oracle Intelligent Agent 8.1.7 on the
server side.

This completes the middle-tier configuration. Restart the Oracle Management
Server and Oracle Intelligent Agent.
6.4 Setting up the ptg_services.tcl File
To set up the ptg_services.tcl file:
1.Set the correct values of the NEW_PARAMETER_NAME, PTG_INSTANCE_
NAME, TRACE_DB_HOSTNAME, TRACE_DB_PORT, TRACE_DB_SID, and
TRACE_DB_ORACLE_HOME for each instance.
2.To add anoth er instance:
a.Add a new parameter to store the new ServiceName (the Wireless Edition
instance name) to the "global Parameters". See the following example.
b. Copy the lines between "BEGIN EXAMPLE" and "END EXAMPLE", and
replace the information with the new instance’s parameter name and
remaining information.

Add this file name to nmiconf.lst. To reflect any change to either
file restart the Oracle Intelligent Agent and rediscover the node.
6.5 Configuration for Another Wireless Edition Instance
The preceding configuration is for one Wireless Edition instance. To configure
another Wireless Edition instance:
1.Ptg_services.tcl: Add another entry in the ORACLE_
HOME/network/agent/config/ptg_services.tcl file. Give this instance a
different service name. See Section 6.4 for in struct ions and an example.
2.Minstances.properties: Add a corresponding instance’s <instance name > =
<property file name> entry to the ORACLE_
HOME/classe s /o r acl e /p a nama/magent/c onfig/MInstanc es.propert i es file.
The RMI client uses this information to communicate with the corresponding
server. Each instance is monitored using a Magent.properties file which
contains the Wireless Edition server host name, port, and service name. In the
case of multiple instances, these are identified by these values. The
Minstances.properties file should point the instance name to the corresponding
Magent.properties file. For example, for two instances:
Magent.properties: Configure the Magent.properties file on both the client and
3.
server side to point to the new instance’s classes and port. Users can have any
number of instances but each instance’s information is stored in a separate
property file.
4.Ensure that an Oracle Enterprise Manager Agent is installed on the node where
the Wireless Edition instance is running. The Wireless Edition instance uses the
Agent to pipe error messages to the Oracle Enterprise Manager Console.
5.The System.properties.templ file contains parameters for the system logger
and the logger schema. Ensure that these are set up appropriately.

Asynchronous Notification of Error Information
6.6 Configuring the Database Logger
The database logger of a Wireless Edition instance must point to a database schema
to log the information. This configuration is done in the System.properties file of
each Wireless Edition instance. See Chapter 4 for more information on the database
logger.
6.7 Asynchronous Notification of Error Information
Asynchronous notification of error information is provided using the event
framework provided by Oracle Enterprise Manager. In case of an error, the Wireless
Edition server generates an Oracle Enterprise Manager event at the node where the
error occurred providing all the necessary details for the fault diagnosis.
Note: An Oracle Enterprise Manager agent must be running on
the node where oemevent is invoked. The event must be defined as
an unsolicited event and the node must be added as a monitored
destination.
The Oracle Enterprise Manager Event properties can be configured by editing th e
oemevent.properties file in the WE_HOME/server/oracle/panama/core/admin
directory.
The oemevent.properties file has the following parameters:

Overview
7.1 Overview
This release of Wireless Edition supports single-byte, multi-byte, and fixed-width
encoding schemes which are based on national, inte rnational, and vendor-specific
standards.
If the character set is single byte, and that character set incl ud es only composite
characters, the number of characters and the number of bytes are the same. If the
character set is multi-byte, there is generally no such correspondence between the
number of characters and the number of bytes. A character can consist of one or
more bytes, depending on the specific multi-byte encoding scheme.
A typical situation is when character elements are combined to form a single
character. Fo r example, in the Thai language, up to three separate character
elements can be combined to form one character, and one Thai character would
require up to 3 bytes when TH8TISASCII or another single-byte Thai character set is
used. One Thai character would require up to 9 bytes when the UTF8 character set
is used.
7.2 Multi-byte Encoding Schemes
Multi-byte encoding schemes are needed to support ideographic scripts used in
Asian languages like Chinese or Japanes e since these languages use thousands of
characters. These schemes use either a fixed number of bytes to represent a
character or a variable number of b ytes per character.
7.2.1 Fixed-width Encoding Schemes
In a fixed-width Multi-byte encoding scheme, each character is represented by a
fixed number of n bytes, where n is greater than or equal to two.
7.2.2 Variable-width Encoding Schemes
A variable-width encoding scheme uses one or more bytes to represent a single
character. Some Multi-byte encoding schemes use certain bits to indicate the
number of bytes that represent a character. For example, if two bytes is the
maximum number of bytes used to represent a character, the most significant bit
can be toggled to indicate whether that byte is part of a single-byte character or the
first byte of a double-byte character. In other schemes, control codes differentiate
single-byte from double-byte characters. Another possibility is that a shift-out code
is used to indicate that the subsequent bytes are double-byte characters until a
shift-in code is encountered.

LocalStrings.properties Files and Localization
7.3 Setting the Multi-Byte Encoding for the Personalization
Portal
The Personalization Portal receives the encoding for the text of the site from the
setting in the PAPZ logical device, wh ich is in the repository. The default encoding
is VTF-8, which can be used for both Western European and Asian languages. The
portal sets the content for each page with the encoding specified by the logical
device. To change the default encoding to multi-byte encoding click PAPZ under
Logical Devices in the Service Designer and change the encoding for your particular
language.
7.4 Setting up a Netscape Browser to Display Multi-byte
Data
To set up a Netscape 4.6 web browser to display Multi-byte data:
1.Click Edit, Preference, Appearance, and Fonts.
2.Select Unicode in the For the Encoding field.
3.For example, for Chinese, select MS Song in the Variable Width Font field.
4.For example, for Chinese, select MS Song in the Fixed Width Font field.
5.Select the "Use my default fonts, overriding document-specified fonts" radio
button.
7.5 LocalStrings.properties Files and Localization
Localization has been simplified through the use of a property file called
LocalStrings.properties. This file contains text labels used by screens within
various adapters and JSP pages.
7.5.1 Service Designer Localization
Modify the LocalStrings.properties file in the panama_pasm.zip file in the
ORACLE_HOME\panama\tools\ServiceDesigner\lib directory.
7.5.2 Personalization Portal Localization
Modify the LocalStrings.properties file in the WE_
HOME/server/classes/oracle/panama/adapter/webui directory.

section of this document presents a different topic. These sections include:
The Wire less Edition database password for the repository is stored in clear text in
the System.properties file by default. The password can be encrypted by running
the following tool to modify the db.connect.string:
encryptPassword .sh WE_HOME/serve r/classes/oracle /panama/core/admi n
Then set the following property in the System.properties file:
passwordEncrypt ed=true
8.1.1 Extensibility
The SystemPasswordEn cryptionHook.cla ss identifies the encryption algorithm. To
provide extensibility, the class ca n be used to invoke a user ’s algorithm in place of
the default algorithm.
To use an alterna te encryption algorithm, implement the following interface:
public interface Syst emPasswordEncryptio nHook {
/** Encrypts the text
* @param te xt the text to be encrypted
* @return t he encrypted text
*/
public String encrypt (String text);
/** Decrypts the encrypted tex t
* @param en cryptedText the e ncrypted text
* @return t he decrypted text
*/
public String dec rypt(String encry ptedText);
}
This allows you to replace the default algorithm, for example:

8.2 LoadXml
The LoadXML utility allows you to download and upload Wireless Edition
repository objects as XML files.
LoadXml reads from stdin and writes to stdout. All logging and error messages
are written to stderr. The XML in the file you import with LoadXml must
conform to the Repository XML.
The upload function performs the following:
1.Checks for the objects in the repository by logical unique name.
2.Loads all dependencies.
3.If the objects exist in the repository, LoadXml updates the objects.
4.If the objects do not exist, LoadXml creates them.
5.After each object type is successfully loaded, LoadXml performs a commit. The
In the unload XML result, all objects have an attribute called _objectId; this is the
system unique object key. You must look up objects by unique name attribute and
not the object key. If you start th e program without giving an option, all options are
listed.
LoadXml
commit includes all referenced objects (dependencies).
LoadXML imports and exports the repository identified by the database connect
string in the System.properties file. In the development environment, this file is
located in the WE_HOME/server/classes/o r acle/panama/core/admin directory.
Wireless Edition does not validate the XML file yo u import into the repository with
LoadXml. To avoid errors, work in an XML file that you have exported from the
repository. This gives you a “known good” Repository XML framework for adding,
removing, and modifying individual elements.
The LoadXml utility accepts the following options:

provisioning upload handles the provisioning DTD, and
makes it possible to create, enable, disa bl e, and remove
users in the repository. This mode always creates new user s.
If the createUserRoot attribute is set to YES, LoadXml
creates a root folder for each user. The provisioning upload
uses streaming to load users, and therefore does not resolve
dependencies.

Upload and Download Utilities
-rThis option ensures that the repository and object cache for
a running instance of Wireless Edition are current. The
following is sample syntax:
rmi-host is the machine on which the RMI registry is
running.
port is the port at which the registry is listening.
server-name is the name of the Wireless Edition instance.
port and server-name can be found in the Rmi.properties
file.
Unload Example
In this example, XML data is written to standard output.
You can us e the upload and download utilities to import and export the Wireless
Edition repository as an XML file. These utilities invoke LoadXml. They are located
in the WE_HOME/sample directory of your development environment. You invoke
upload from a command prompt as follows:
upload.bat repository.xml
This loads the contents of the file repository.xml into the repository. It accesses the
repository specified by the connect string in the client-side System.properties file.
To download a repository:
download.bat repository.xml
This places the contents of the repository in a file named repository.xml.

The CopyObjects utility allows you to copy services from one Wireless Edition
site to one or more other sites. You can use this utility, for example, to deploy
services from a testing and development environment to production servers.
CopyObjects
CopyObjects sends services to target servers as XML elements. It takes a folder
object as a command-line argument. To copy a service, therefore, you must first
place the service in a folder. When invoked, CopyObjects copies the folder and all
its contents to the target Wireless Edition sites you specify at the command line.
Requirements
All source and target Wireless Edition servers must have the Wireless Edition RMI
server running.
The basic configuration of adapters and transformers must be the same on the
source and target servers. CopyObjects only sends services, links, and folders. It
does not send configuration data.
