It is highly recommended that the application tier in the SOA Enterprise Deployment topology and the WebCenter Enterprise Deployment topology is protected against anonymous RMI connections. To prevent RMI access to the middle tier from outside the subset configured, follow the steps in "Configure connection filtering" in the Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console Online Help. Execute all of the steps, except as noted in the following:
Do not execute the substep for configuring the default connection filter. Execute the substep for configuring a custom connection filter.
In the Connection Filter Rules field, add the rules that will allow all protocol access to servers from the middle tier subnet while allowing only http(s) access from outside the subnet, as shown in the following example:
nnn.nnn.0.0/nnn.nnn.0.0 * * allow 0.0.0.0/0 * * allow t3 t3s
Oracle Fusion Middleware supports only
mod_wls_ohs and does not support
mod_wl for Oracle HTTP Server routing to a cluster of managed servers.
For Oracle Fusion Middleware high availability deployments, Oracle strongly recommends following only the configuration procedures documented in the Oracle Fusion Middleware High Availability Guide and the Oracle Fusion Middleware Enterprise Deployment Guides.
During failover, if you are in a SOA Composer dialog box and the connected server is down, you will receive an error, such as
Target Unreachable, 'messageData' returned null.
To continue working in the SOA Composer, open a new browser window and navigate to the SOA Composer.
In a Cold Failover Cluster (CFC) environment, the following exception is displayed when Web Services policies page is accessed in Fusion Middleware Control:
Unable to connect to Oracle WSM Policy Manager. Cannot locate policy manager query/update service. Policy manager service look up did not find a valid service.
To avoid this, implement one the following options:
Create virtual hostname aliased SSL certificate and add to the key store.
Add "-Dweblogic.security.SSL.ignoreHostnameVerification=true" to the JAVA_OPTIONS parameter in the startWeblogic.sh or startWeblogic.cmd files
In a high availability environment with two (or more) Oracle Identity Federation servers mirroring one another and a load balancer at the front-end, there are two ways to set up SSL:
Configure SSL on the load balancer, so that the SSL connection is between the user and the load balancer. In that case, the keystore/certificate used by the load balancer has a CN referencing the address of the load balancer.
The communication between the load balancer and the WLS/Oracle Identity Federation can be clear or SSL (and in the latter case, Oracle WebLogic Server can use any keystore/certificates, as long as these are trusted by the load balancer).
SSL is configured on the Oracle Identity Federation servers, so that the SSL connection is between the user and the Oracle Identity Federation server. In this case, the CN of the keystore/certificate from the Oracle WebLogic Server/Oracle Identity Federation installation needs to reference the address of the load balancer, as the user will connect using the hostname of the load balancer, and the Certificate CN needs to match the load balancer's address.
In short, the keystore/certificate of the SSL endpoint connected to the user (load balancer or Oracle WebLogic Server/Oracle Identity Federation) needs to have its CN set to the hostname of the load balancer, since it is the address that the user will use to connect to Oracle Identity Federation.
In a high availability environment, if you are using online help and a failover occurs on one of the machines in your environment, your context in online help may be lost when the application is failed over.
For example, the online help table of contents may not remember the topic that was selected prior to the failover, or the last online help search results may be lost.
No data is lost, and your next online help request after the failover will be handled properly.
In Patch Set 2 of the Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g Release 1 (11.1.1) release, a new feature was added to Application Server Cluster Ready Services (ASCRS) to enable users to create an ASCRS database resource for the Oracle Database Console service. Using ASCRS to create an ASCRS database resource is described in the "Creating an Oracle Database Resource" section of the "Using Cluster Ready Services" chapter in the Oracle Fusion Middleware High Availability Guide.
This feature works on UNIX, because the Oracle Database Console can be CFC enabled on UNIX.
However, on Windows, there is no CFC support for the Oracle Database Console service. Therefore, you cannot use ASCRS to create a database resource for the Oracle Database Console service on Windows.
When you update rulesets (used in Human Workflow or BPEL) through the Worklist configuration UI or the SOA Composer application during an Oracle RAC instance failover, the new rule metadata may not get persisted to the database. In this case, you will need to perform a manual retry. However, you can continue to use the older version of metadata without any errors.
When redeploying tasks with large number of rules during an Oracle RAC instance failover, a manual retry may be needed by the end user occasionally.
In an active-active Oracle SOA cluster, when a node failure occurs, the timeout settings for request-response operations in receive activities are not propagated from one node to the other node or nodes. If a failure occurs in the server that scheduled these activities, they must be rescheduled with the scheduler upon server restart.
The scale out and scale up operations performed on your environment after re-associating the local file based WLS LDAP store with an external LDAP store will fail. To avoid this failure, follow the steps below before performing a scale up or scale out operation.
Edit the
setDomainEnv.sh file located under the DOMAIN_HOME
/bin directory and add the "-Dcommon.components.home=${COMMON_COMPONENTS_HOME}" and "-Djrf.version=11.1.1" variables to the the file.
These variables should be added to the "EXTRA_JAVA_PROPERTIES". For example:
EXTRA_JAVA_PROPERTIES="-Ddomain.home=${DOMAIN_HOME} -Dcommon.components.home=${COMMON_COMPONENTS_HOME} -Djrf.version=11.1.1 . . .
Save the file and proceed with the scale out or scale up operation.
The following SQLIntegrityConstraintViolationException can be received in a SOA cluster:
[TopLink Warning]: 2010.04.11 14:26:53.941--UnitOfWork(275924841)--Exception [TOPLINK-4002] (Oracle TopLink - 11g Release 1 (184.108.40.206.0): Internal Exception: java.sql.SQLIntegrityConstraintViolationException: ORA-00001: unique constraint (JYIPS2RC4B49_SOAINFRA.SYS_C0035333) violated . . .
This is not a bug. In a cluster environment, when the messages for the same group arrive on both the nodes, one node is bound to experience this exception for the first message. The application is aware of this exception and handles it properly. It does not break any functionality.
This exception can also come on a single node after you restart the server and send the message for the existing group. Again, this exception will be experienced on the very first message.
In summary, this exception is within the application design and does not impact any functionality. It is for this reason that you do not see this exception logged as severe in the soa-diagnostic logs.
Toplink does, however, log it in its server logs.
In certain WebLogic cluster process crash scenarios, WS-AT recovery will result in stuck threads that put the server into a "warning" state. WS-AT data recovery is successful in these cases despite the fact that the logs display "failed state" messages, due to the fact that commit acks are not being processed correctly for this scenario (this issue does not occur when the scenario involves the rollback of the transaction). While the server may continue to function in this "warning" state, the threads will continue to be stuck until the transaction abandonment timeout (which defaults to 24 hours) is reached. The workaround is to restart the server, which removes the stuck threads and "warning" state. A patch for this issue can be obtained from Oracle Support.
The "Adding the I/PM Server Listen Addresses to the List of Allowed Hosts in UCM" section in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Enterprise Deployment Guide for Oracle Enterprise Content Management Suite and the "Adding the I/PM Server Listen Addresses to the List of Allowed Hosts in UCM" section in the Oracle Fusion Middleware High Availability Guide describe how to add hostname-based filters for Oracle I/PM managed server listen addresses to the list of allowed hosts in Oracle UCM.
When using hostname-based filters in Oracle UCM (
config.cfg file) a high latency/performance impact may be observed in the system for very intensive uploads of documents from Oracle I/PM to Oracle UCM. This is caused by the reverse DNS lookup that is required in Oracle UCM to allow the connections from Oracle I/PM servers. Using hostname-based filters is recommended in preparation for configuring the system for Disaster Protection and to restore to a different host (since the configuration used is IP-agnostic when using hostname-based filters). However if the performance of the uploads needs to be improved, users can use instead IP-based filters. To do this:
Edit the file
/ucm_cluster/config/config.cfg and remove or comment out:
SocketHostNameSecurityFilter=localhost|localhost.mydomain.com|ecmhost1vhn1|ecmhost2vhn1 AlwaysReverseLookupForHost=Yes
Add the IP addresses (listen address) of the WLS_IPM1 and WLS_IPM2 managed servers (ECMHOST1VHN1 and ECMHOST2VHN1, respectively) to the SocketHostAddressSecurityFilter parameter list as follows:
where X.X.X.X and Y.Y.Y.Y are the listen addresses of WLS_IPM1 and WLS_IPM2 respectively. Notice that 127.0.0.1 also needs to be added as shown above.
Restart the UCM servers.
If you use the Oracle Business Process Management Suite Worklist application Actions dropdown menu to take action on a task while a failover is in progress, an exception similar to the following may be thrown:
<oracle.adf.view.rich.component.fragment.UIXInclude> <ADF_FACES-10020> <Tear down of include component context failed due to an unhandled e xception. java.util.NoSuchElementException at java.util.ArrayDeque.removeFirst(ArrayDeque.java:251) at java.util.ArrayDeque.pop(ArrayDeque.java:480) at oracle.adfinternal.view.faces.context.ApplicationContextManagerImpl.popContext Change(ApplicationContextManagerImpl.java:66) . . .
In this case, the approval or rejection of the task does not go through.
To work around this problem, use either of these approaches:
Instead of using the Actions dropdown menu to take action on the task, use the TaskForm to take action.
Do a refresh after the error message. Then take the action again using the Actions dropdown menu.
ClassCastExceptions may arise in a SOA cluster for the Oracle SOA Worklist application (
java.lang.ClassCastException: oracle.adf.model.dcframe.DataControlFrameImpl is reported in the logs). As a result, the Worklist application state may not be replicated to other managed servers in the cluster. The Worklist application and the corresponding user sessions will be usable after the exception is thrown, but any failovers to other servers in the cluster will not succeed.
There is no workaround to this problem.
To solve this problem, download the patch for bug 9561444, which solves the problem. Follow these steps:
To obtain the patch, log into My Oracle Support (formerly OracleMetaLink) at the following URL:
Click the Patches & Updates tab.
In the Patch Search section, enter 9561444 in the Patch ID or number is field, and enter your platform in the field after the and Platform is field.
Click Search.
On the Patch Search page, click the patch number in the Patch ID column. This causes the page content to change to display detailed information about the patch.

Because of a known issue in 11.2 Oracle RAC databases, it is required to use
srvctl to set up AQ notification and server-side TAF. Using DBMS_SQL packages will not work as expected.
Here is an example use of
srvctl modify service -d orcl -s orclSVC -e SELECT -m BASIC -w 5 -z 5 -q TRUE
In the example:
orcl - Database Name
orclSVC - Service Name used by middleware component
SELECT - Failover type
BASIC - Failover method
5 - Failover delay
5 - Failover retry
TRUE - AQ HA notifications set to TRUE
Please refer to the Oracle 11.2 Oracle database documentation for detailed information about this command usage.
With Oracle I/PM and Oracle UCM file processing, some files may not get loaded in UCM properly during an Oracle RAC instance failover.
The incoming files to be processed by Oracle I/PM are put into an input folder. Oracle I/PM processes the files in the input folder and then puts them into Oracle UCM, which is backed by an Oracle RAC database. Sometimes when an Oracle RAC instance failure occurs, the retry may not happen correctly and the incoming files do not get processed. These unprocessed files show up in an error folder. These unprocessed files can manually be put back into the input folder and processed.
If you create a report in Oracle BI Publisher, and a Managed Server is failed over before the report is saved, the failover might not be seamless. For example, when you attempt to save the report, the system might not be responsive.
If this occurs, click one of the header links, such as Home or Catalog, to be redirected to the Oracle BI Publisher login page. Then, log in and create and save the report again.
In the Oracle BI Publisher layout editor, when a Managed Server is failed over, opening or creating a Web-based layout can cause the following error to appear:
Failed to load: object_name
Please contact the system administrator.
To work around this issue, close the message and click one of the header links, such as Home or Catalog, to be redirected to the login page.
When scheduling a job in Oracle BI Publisher, after a Managed Server fails over, a large popup window appears when you click Submit that shows the HTML source for the login page.
To work around this issue, close the message window and click one of the header links, such as Home or Catalog, to be redirected to the login page. You will need to re-create the report job again.
If you create an agent in the Oracle Business Intelligence Web interface, and a Managed Server fails over before you save the agent, an error occurs when you try to save the agent.
To work around this issue, log out, then log back in to Oracle Business Intelligence and create the agent again.
Bug 10017729 and 10014701
On Windows, after you enable a virtual IP and set up whole server migration for an Oracle Business Intelligence cluster, if you attempt to access Analytics or Business Intelligence Publisher, your access attempt fails and you receive these error messages:
Unable to Sign In An error occurred during authentication. Try again later or contact your system administrator.
To work around this issue:
In the
setDomainEnv.cmd file on all managed servers, set the
oracle.bi.management.config.urlStrategy property to the value "ASK_WEBLOGIC". For example, make these entries in the
setDomainEnv.cmd file:
# This extra property causes WebLogic to look at the localhost instead of the # virtual IP set EXTRA_JAVA_PROPERTIES=%EXTRA_JAVA_PROPERTIES% -Doracle.bi.management.config.urlStrategy=ASK_WEBLOGIC
Note that the two lines above that specify the ASK_WEBLOGIC property must be on a single line in the
setDomainEnv.cmd file.
Before you configure SSO using Oracle Access Manager 11g, as described in the chapter "Configuring Single Sign-on for Administration Consoles" in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Enterprise Deployment Guide for Oracle Identity Management, you must apply Patch 10094106.
If you do not apply this patch, you might get a "404 Not Found" error when you attempt to access a protected application deployed on Oracle WebLogic Server with valid credentials.
This issue occurs with Oracle Portal, Forms, Reports, and Discoverer 11g environments that have been upgraded from using Oracle Single-Sign On 10g to Oracle Access Manager 11g for authentication.
When performing subsequent Oracle Portal, Forms, Reports, and Discoverer 11g installations against the same environment where the initial Oracle Portal, Forms, Reports, and Discoverer 10g installation was upgraded to Oracle Access Manager, there are some requirements that must be met.
For each subsequent Oracle Portal, Forms, Reports, and Discoverer 11g installation, you must maintain the original Oracle Single Sign-On 10g instance and keep it actively running--in addition to new Oracle Access Manager 11g instance--while the additional Oracle Portal, Forms, Reports, and Discoverer 11g installations are performed.
This is necessary because Oracle Portal, Forms, Reports, and Discoverer 11g cannot be installed directly against Oracle Access Manager 11g.
After the subsequent classic installs are completed, the Oracle Single Sign-On 10g to Oracle Access Manager 11g upgrade procedure must be performed again. For more information, see "Upgrading Your Oracle Single Sign-On Environment" in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Upgrade Guide for Oracle Identity Management.
This procedure upgrades the new Oracle Portal, Forms, Reports, and Discoverer 11g instance to Oracle Access Manager 11g.
Note that these considerations apply only in an environment with Multiple Oracle Portal, Forms, Reports, and Discoverer 11g middle tiers that are installed or added to a your environment after the initial upgrade from Oracle Single Sign-On 10g to Oracle Access Manager 11g.
On rare occasions, a JMS instance is missing from a BI Publisher Scheduler cluster.
To resolve this issue, restart the BI Publisher application from the WebLogic Server Administration Console.
To restart your BI Publisher application:
Log in to the Administration Console.
Click Deployments in the Domain Structure window.
Select bipublisher(11.1.1).
Click Stop.
After the application stops, click Start.
When failover occurs, a Null Pointer Exception error window may open the second time you click Approve task during the operational approval task. (The Null Pointer Exception error window always opens during failover.) The Null Pointer Exception window does not interrupt any processes and approval succeeds.

In a clustered environment, each node maintains its own in-memory Hasmap for inbound retry. The
jca.retry.count property is specified as 3 for the inbound retry feature. However, each node tries three times. As a result, the total retry count becomes 6 if the clustered environment has two nodes.
All the machines in a cluster must be in the same time zone. WAN clusters are not supported by Oracle Fusion Middleware high availability. Even machines in the same time zone may have issues when started by command line. Oracle recommends using Node Manager to start the servers.
Cookie Persistence on the load balancer is not required for an Oracle Portal active-active setup. Any inadvertent setting of cookie Persistence to 'active cookie insert' on certain hardware load balancers for Portal deployments on Windows results in intermittent timeouts while accessing Oracle Portal.
In some instances, Oracle WebLogic Fusion Middleware Control may display the incorrect status of a component immediately after the component has been restarted or failed over.
In a scaled out clustered environment, if a large number of BPEL instances are accumulated in the database, it causes the database's performance to decrease, and the following error is generated: MANY THREADS STUCK FOR 600+ SECONDS.
To avoid this error, remove old BPEL instances from the database.
In a non-XA environment, MQSeries Adapters do not guarantee the only once delivery of the messages from inbound adapters to the endpoint in case of local transaction. In this scenario, if an inbound message is published to the endpoint, and before committing the transaction, the SOA server is brought down, inbound message are rolled back and the same message is again dequeued and published to the endpoint. This creates an extra message in outbound queue.
In an XA environment, MQ Messages are actually not lost but held by Queue Manager due to an inconsistent state. To retrieve the held messages, restart the Queue Manager.
As soon as Oracle Human Workflow commits its transaction, the control passes back to BPEL, which almost instantaneously commits its transaction. Between this window, if the Oracle RAC instance goes down, on failover, the message is retried and can cause duplicate tasks. The duplicate task can show up in two ways - either a duplicate task appears in worklistapp, or an unrecoverable BPEL instance is created. This BPEL instance appears in BPEL Recovery. It is not possible to recover this BPEL instance as consumer, because this task has already completed.
The following information refers to Chapter 10, "Managing the Topology," of the Oracle Fusion Middleware Enterprise Deployment Guide for Oracle SOA Suite.
When performing a planned stop of the Administration Server's node (rebooting or shutting down the Admin Server's machine), it may occur that the OS NFS service is disabled before the Administration Server itself is stopped. This (depending on the configuration of services at the OS level) can cause the detection of missing files in the Administration Server's domain directory and trigger their deletion in the domain directories in other nodes. This can result in the framework deleting some of the files under
domain_dir/fmwconfig/. This behavior is typically not observed for unplanned downtimes, such as machine panic, power loss, or machine crash. To avoid this behavior, shutdown the Administration Server before performing reboots or, alternatively, use the appropriate OS configuration to set the order of services in such a way that NFS service is disabled with later precedence than the Administration Server's process. See your OS administration documentation for the corresponding required configuration for the services' order.
High availability failover support is not available for SOA B2B TCP/IP protocol. This effects primarily deployments using HL7 over MLLP. For inbound communication in a clustered environment, all B2B servers are active and the address exposed for inbound traffic is a load balancer virtual server. Also, in an outage scenario where an active managed server is no longer available, the persistent TCP/IP connection is lost and the client is expected to reestablish the connection.
When installing Oracle WebLogic Server on a server with multiple network cards, always specify a Listen Address for the Administration Server. The address used should be the DNS Name/IP Address of the network card you wish to use for Administration Server communication.
To set the Listen Address:
In the Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console, select Environment, and then Servers from the domain structure menu.
Click the Administration Server.
Click Lock and Edit from the Change Center to allow editing.
Enter a Listen Address.
Click Save.
Click Activate Changes in the Change Center.
In some deployments of SOA with Oracle RAC, you may need to set additional parameters in addition to the out of the box configuration of the individual data sources in an Oracle RAC configuration. The additional parameters are:
Add property
oracle.jdbc.ReadTimeout=300000 (300000 milliseconds) for each data source.
The actual value of the
ReadTimeout parameter may differ based on additional considerations.
If the network is not reliable, then it is difficult for a client to detect the frequent disconnections when the server is abruptly disconnected. By default, a client running on Linux takes 7200 seconds (2 hours) to sense the abrupt disconnections. This value is equal to the value of the
tcp_keepalive_time property. To configure the application to detect the disconnections faster, set the value of the
tcp_keepalive_interval, and
tcp_keepalive_probes properties to a lower value at the operating system level.
Note:Setting a low value for the
tcp_keepalive_interval property leads to frequent probe packets on the network, which can make the system slower. Therefore, the value of this property should be set appropriately based on system requirements.
For example, set
tcp_keepalive_time=600 at the system running the WebLogic Server managed server.
Also, you must specify the
ENABLE=BROKEN parameter in the
DESCRIPTION clause in the connection descriptor. For example:
dbc:oracle:thin:@(DESCRIPTION=(enable=broken)(ADDRESS_LIST=(ADDRESS=(PRO TOCOL=TCP)(HOST=node1-vip.mycompany.com)(PORT=1521)))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_ NAME=orcl.us.oracle.com)(INSTANCE_NAME=orcl1)))
As a result, the data source configuration appears as follows:
<url>jdbc:oracle:thin:@(DESCRIPTION=(enable=broken)(ADDRESS_LIST=(ADDRESS=(PRO TOCOL=TCP)(HOST=node1-vip.us.oracle.com)(PORT=1521)))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=orcl.us.oracle.com)(INSTANCE_NAME=orcl1)))</url> <driver-name>oracle.jdbc.xa.client.OracleXADataSource</driver-name> <properties> <property> <name>oracle.jdbc.ReadTimeout</name> <value>300000</value> </property> <property> <name>user</name> <value>jmsuser</value> </property> <property> <name>oracle.net.CONNECT_TIMEOUT</name> <value>10000</value> </property> </properties>
Message sequencing and MLLP are not supported in Oracle B2B high availability (HA) environments.
The Oracle FMW credential store maintains usernames and passwords that you define for Transport protocols. If you use the default file store for these credentials, changes you make to usernames and passwords do not propagate across nodes. You must use a central LDAP for these credentials to be synchronized across nodes in a cluster, as described in, and required by, the Oracle Fusion Middleware High Availability Guide and Enterprise Deployment Guides.
To create a protected resource for Oracle Identity Navigator, log in to the Oracle Access Manager console at
http://admin.mycompany.com/oamconsole using the
oamadmin account. Then proceed as follows:
From the Navigation window expand: Application Domains > IDMDomainAgent.
Click Resources.
Click Create on the tool bar below the Browse tab).
Enter the following information:
Host Identifier:
Resource URL:
Click Apply.
From the Navigation window expand: Application Domains > IDMDomainAgent >Authentication Policies.
Click Protected HigherLevel Policy.
Click Edit on the tool bar below the Browse tab.
In the Resources box, click +.
From the list, select the resource /oinav.
Click Apply.
From the Navigation window expand: Application Domains > IDMDomainAgent >Authorization Policies.
Click Protected Resource Policy.
Click Edit on the tool bar below the Browse tab.
In the Resources box, click +.
From the list, select the resource /oinav
Click Apply.
Oracle recommends using the full name of the host, including the domain name, when configuring front-end hosts in Oracle Fusion Middleware high availability configurations. Use the host's full name instead of using only the host name.
For example, if myhost is the name of a frontend host in a high availability configuration, set the frontend host URL to the fully-qualified hostname, such as myhost.mycompany.com as DNS or local host name resolution files (for example, /etc/hosts) define.
The Managed Server wls_ods(x) can enter a suspended status in the following situations:
A database connection in the data source is wrong or not complete.
The host is not a fully-qualified host for the database.
To correct the status of the Managed Server wls_ods(x):
Under the data source, verify that the database connection is correct and complete with the domain.
Under the data source, verify that the host name for the database is a fully- qualified hostname with the domain.
Verify the connection by selecting the Test button.
During the system component scale out process, the Primary/Secondary Configuration section in the Availability tab of the Capacity Management page in Fusion Middleware Control may not be visible in the browser. This issue occurs when you perform the scale out process using Microsoft Internet Explorer version 7.0.5730.11.
To avoid this issue, do not use the browser Microsoft Internet Explorer version 7.0.5730.11 to scale out; use another browser such as Google Chrome.
When you run Oracle Identity Manager configuration, the error
java.io.FileNotFoundException: soaconfigplan.xml (Permission denied may appear and Oracle Identity Manager configuration might fail.
To workaround this issue:
Delete the file
Start the configuration again (
Oracle Access Manager configuration does not support the use of complex resource definitions, such as /.../* in the command line. Instead, complex resources must be included in a
uri_file, which is in turn specified in the command line.
After scaling out Oracle Business Intelligence, Server Start parameters are not getting set correctly. To work around this issue, update the Server Start parameters for the scaled out BI Managed Server to include the following:
-Dserver.group=obi arguments
If you configure an Oracle instance for Oracle HTTP Server 11g on shared storage, such as NAS, NFS, or SAN storage, you must ensure that the lock file is created on a local drive instead of the shared drive. If you do not do this, Oracle HTTP Server might experience performance problems. Perform these steps to point the
LockFile directive at a local file system:
Stop the OHS instances on
WEBHOST1 and
Open the file
/httpd.conf in a text editor.
Find the
LockFile directive, configured under both the
prefork and
worker MPM configuration blocks in the
httpd.conf file. It looks like this:
LockFile ORACLE_INSTANCE/diagnostics/logs/COMPONENT_TYPE/COMPONENT_NAME/http_lock
Change the
LockFile directive under the appropriate MPM configuration to point to a local file system, for example:
LockFile /local_disk/path/http_lock
Restart Oracle HTTP Server.
Verify that the
http_lock file exists in the directory specified by the
LockFile directive.
When the Oracle JMS adapter communicates with multiple servers in a cluster, the adapter's connection factory property
FactoryProperties must list available servers. If it does not list servers, the connection establishes to only one random server. If that particular server goes down, no further messages are processed.
To verify that the adapter's JCA connection factory that you use, for example
eis/wls/Queue, contains the required properties:
Log into your Oracle WebLogic Server console. To access the console, navigate to
Click Deployments in the left pane for Domain Structure.
Click JMSAdapter under Summary of Deployments on the right pane.
Click the Configuration tab.
Click the Outbound Connection Pools tab and expand
oracle.tip.adapter.jms.IJmsConnectionFactory to see the configured connection factories.
Click the specific instance you are using (for example,
eis/wls/Queue). The Outbound Connection Properties for the connection factory opens.
Click Lock and Edit.
In the FactoryProperties field (click on the corresponding cell under Property value), enter the following:
java.naming.factory.initial=weblogic.jndi.WLInitialContextFactory; java.naming.provider.url=t3://soahostvhn1:8001,soahos2tvhn1:8001;java.naming.security.principal=weblogic;java.naming.security.credentials=weblogic1
Click Enter, save the changes, and then activate them.
Update the deployment in the console:
Click Deployments and select the JMS Adapter.
Click Lock and Edit then Update.
Select Update this application in place with new deployment plan changes (A deployment plan must be specified for this option.) and select the deployment plan saved in a shared storage location; all servers in the cluster must be able to access the plan).
Click Finish and activate the changes.
In an Identity Management deployment, if you have configured your Administration Server to listen on a virtual host, then in hardware configurations with multiple network cards, Oracle Access Manager managed servers might not start. You might see an error in the log files pertaining to not being able to join the coherence cluster. If this occurs, change the coherence host for Oracle Access Manager from the virtual IP address to the local host where the Administration Server is running.
To do this:
Locate the file
/config/fmwconfig/oam-config.xml on the Administration Server host. (Make a backup copy of this file.)
Search for the entry:
<Setting Name="Instance" Type="htf:map"> <Setting Name="AdminServer" Type="htf:map">
In this definition block, find an entry that looks like this:
<Setting Name="CoherenceConfiguration" Type="htf:map">
<Setting Name="LocalHost" Type="htf:map">
<Setting Name="Key" Type="xsd:string">oam.coherence.localhost</Setting>
<Setting Name="Value" Type="xsd:string">ADMINVHN.mycompany.com</Setting>
ADMINVHN to the local host name, for example:
<Setting Name="CoherenceConfiguration" Type="htf:map"> <Setting Name="LocalHost" Type="htf:map"> <Setting Name="Key" Type="xsd:string">oam.coherence.localhost</Setting> <Setting Name="Value"Type="xsd:string">IDMHOST1.mycompany.com</Setting> </Setting>
Save the file and restart the Administration Server and OAM managed servers.
If you later fail over the Administration Server to another host, update this entry to the host where the server is now located. Then shut down all OAM managed servers and restart the Administration Server and OAM managed servers.
If JMS messages and transaction logs are stored on an NFS mounted directory, Oracle strongly recommends that you verify the behavior of a server restart after abrupt machine failures. Depending on the NFS implementation, different issues can arise post failover/restart. You can verify the behavior by abruptly shutting down the node hosting the WebLogic servers while they are running. If the server is configured for server migration, it should start automatically in the failover node after the corresponding failover period. If not, you can manually restart the WebLogic Server on the same host after the node completely reboots. If Oracle WebLogic Server does not restart after abrupt machine failure, the following errors may appear in the server log files:
<MMM dd, yyyy hh:mm:ss a z> <Error> <Store> <BEA-280061> <The persistent store "_WLS_server_soa1" could not be deployed: weblogic.store.PersistentStoreException: java.io.IOException: [Store:280021]There was an error while opening the file store file "_WLS_SERVER_SOA1000000.DAT" weblogic.store.PersistentStoreException: java.io.IOException: [Store:280021]There was an error while opening the file store file "_WLS_SERVER_SOA1000000.DAT" at weblogic.store.io.file.Heap.open(Heap.java:168) at weblogic.store.io.file.FileStoreIO.open(FileStoreIO.java:88) ... java.io.IOException: Error from fcntl() for file locking, Resource temporarily unavailable, errno=11
This error occurs because the NFS system does not release the lock on the stores. WebLogic Server maintains locks on files that store JMS data and transaction logs to protect from potential data corruption if you accidentally start two instances of the same WebLogic Server. Because the NFS storage device does not become aware of machine failure in a timely manner, the storage device does not release the locks. As a result, after abrupt machine failure followed by a restart, any subsequent attempt by WebLogic Server to acquire locks on the previously locked files may fail. See your storage vendor documentation for additional information on the locking of files stored in NFS mounted directories on the storage device.
If it is not reasonably possible to tune locking behavior in your NFS environment, use one of the following two solutions to unlock the logs and data files:
Manually unlock the logs and JMS data files and start the servers by creating a copy of the locked persistence store file and using the copy for subsequent operations. To create a copy of the locked persistence store file, rename the file then copy it back to its original name. The following sample steps assume that transaction logs are stored in the
/shared/tlogs directory and JMS data is stored in the
/shared/jms directory.
cd /shared/tlogs mv _WLS_SOA_SERVER1000000.DAT _WLS_SOA_SERVER1000000.DAT.old cp _WLS_SOA_SERVER1000000.DAT.old _WLS_SOA_SERVER1000000.DAT cd /shared/jms mv SOAJMSFILESTORE_AUTO_1000000.DAT SOAJMSFILESTORE_AUTO_1000000.DAT.old cp SOAJMSFILESTORE_AUTO_1000000.DAT.old SOAJMSFILESTORE_AUTO_1000000.DAT mv UMSJMSFILESTORE_AUTO_1000000.DAT UMSJMSFILESTORE_AUTO_1000000.DAT.old cp UMSJMSFILESTORE_AUTO_1000000.DAT.old UMSJMSFILESTORE_AUTO_1000000.DAT
With this solution, the WebLogic file locking mechanism continues to protect against accidental data corruption if multiple instances of the same servers are accidently started. However, you must restart the servers manually after abrupt machine failures. File stores create multiple consecutively numbered.DAT files when they store large amounts of data. You may need to copy and rename all files when this occurs.
You can also use the WebLogic Server Administration Console to disable WebLogic file locking mechanisms for the default file store, a custom file store, a JMS paging file store, and a Diagnostics file store, as described in the following sections.
With this solution, since the WebLogic locking is disabled, automated server restarts and failovers should succeed. Be cautious, however, when using this option. The WebLogic file locking feature is designed to help prevent severe file corruptions that can occur in undesired concurrency scenarios. If the server using the file store is configured for server migration, always configure the database based leasing option. This enforces additional locking mechanisms using database tables, and prevents automated restart of more than one instance of the same WebLogic Server. Additional procedural precautions must be implemented to avoid any human error and to ensure that one and only one instance of a server is manually started at any give point in time. Similarly, extra precautions must be taken to ensure that no two domains have a store with the same name that references the same directory.
Disabling File Locking for the Default File Store
To disable file locking for the default file store using the WebLogic Server Administration Console:
If necessary, click Lock & Edit in the Change Center (upper left corner) of the Administration Console to get an Edit lock for the domain.
In the Domain Structure tree, expand the Environment node and select Servers.
In the Summary of Servers list, select the server you want to modify.
Select the Configuration > Services tab.
Scroll down to the Default Store section and click Advanced.
Scroll down and deselect the Enable File Locking check box.
Click Save. If necessary, click Activate Changes in the Change Center.
Restart the server you modified for the changes to take effect.
The resulting
config.xml entry will look like the following:
Disabling File Locking for a Custom File Store
To disable file locking for a custom file store using the WebLogic Server Administration Console:
If necessary, click Lock & Edit in the Change Center (upper left corner) of the Administration Console to get an Edit lock for the domain.
In the Domain Structure tree, expand the Services node and select Persistent Stores.
In the Summary of Persistent Stores list, select the custom file store you want to modify.
On the Configuration tab for the custom file store, click Advanced to display advanced store settings.
Scroll down and deselect the Enable File Locking check box.
Click Save. If necessary, click Activate Changes in the Change Center.
If the custom file store was in use, you must restart the server for the changes to take effect.
The resulting
config.xml entry will look like the following:
Disabling File Locking for a JMS Paging File Store
Follow these steps to disable file locking for a JMS paging file store using the WebLogic Server Administration Console:
If necessary, click Lock & Edit in the Change Center (upper left corner) of the Administration Console to get an Edit lock for the domain.
In the Domain Structure tree, expand the Services node, expand the Messaging node, and select JMS Servers.
In the Summary of JMS Servers list, select the JMS server you want to modify.
On the Configuration > General tab for the JMS Server, scroll down and deselect the Paging File Locking Enabled check box.
Click Save. If necessary, click Activate Changes in the Change Center.
Restart the server you modified for the changes to take effect.
The resulting
config.xml file entry will look like the following:
Disabling File Locking for a Diagnostics File Store
To disable file locking for a Diagnostics file store using the WebLogic Server Administration Console:
If necessary, click Lock & Edit in the Change Center (upper left corner) of the Administration Console to get an Edit lock for the domain.
In the Domain Structure tree, expand the Diagnostics node and select Archives.
In the Summary of Diagnostic Archives list, select the server name of the archive that you want to modify.
On the Settings for [server_name] page, deselect the Diagnostic Store File Locking Enabled check box.
Click Save. If necessary, click Activate Changes in the Change Center.
Restart the server you modified for the changes to take effect.
The resulting
config.xml file will look like this:
<server> <name>examplesServer</name> ... <server-diagnostic-config> <diagnostic-store-dir>data/store/diagnostics</diagnostic-store-dir> <diagnostic-store-file-locking-enabled>false</diagnostic-store-file-locking- enabled> <diagnostic-data-archive-type>FileStoreArchive</diagnostic-data-archive-type> <data-retirement-enabled>true</data-retirement-enabled> <preferred-store-size-limit>100</preferred-store-size-limit> <store-size-check-period>1</store-size-check-period> </server-diagnostic-config> </server>

Section 188.8.131.52, "Additional Discussion Connection Properties Explained in Administration Guide"
In Section 8.1, "Configuring the Discussion Forum Connection" of the Oracle Fusion Middleware Enterprise Deployment Guide for Oracle WebCenter, the link to section 8.1.3, "Creating a Discussions Server Connection for WebCenter From EM" is missing.
In section 6.14, "Converting Discussions Forum from Multicast to Unicast" of the Oracle Fusion Middleware Enterprise Deployment Guide for Oracle WebCenter, the following information is missing from Step 3:
Step 3: Repeat steps 1 and 2 for WLS_Services2, swapping WCHost1 for WCHost2, and WCHost2 for WCHost1 as follows:
-Dtangosol.coherence.wka1=WCHost2 -Dtangosol.coherence.wka2=WCHost1 -Dtangosol.coherence.localhost=WCHost2 -Dtangosol.coherence.wka1.port=8089 -Dtangosol.coherence.wka2.port=8089
For additional Discussions Server connection properties associated with the procedure in Section 8.1.3 "Creating a Discussions Server Connection for WebCenter From EM" of the Oracle Fusion Middleware Enterprise Deployment Guide for Oracle WebCenter, refer to section 12.3.1, "Registering Discussions Servers Using Fusion Middleware Control," in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrator's Guide for Oracle WebCenter.

Section 184.108.40.206, "Set -DDomainRegistrationEnabled=true when Starting Node Manager"
Section 220.127.116.11, "Ignore Empty Section in the Oracle Virtual Directory Chapter"
The November 2010 edition of Oracle Fusion Middleware Enterprise Deployment Guide for Oracle Identity Management failed to mention that, prior to starting the Node Manager that controls the WebLogic Administration Server, you must set
-DDomainRegistrationEnabled=true. For example:
export JAVA_OPTIONS=-DDomainRegistrationEnabled=true
In the November 2010 edition of Oracle Fusion Middleware Enterprise Deployment Guide for Oracle Identity Management, Section 8.1.1 in Chapter 11, "Extending the Domain with Oracle Virtual Directory is an empty section." Please ignore it.
This section contains documentation errata for Oracle Fusion Middleware Enterprise Deployment Guide for Oracle Business Intelligence.
It includes the following topics:
Section 126.96.36.199, "Additional Step Must be Performed After Setting the Location of the BI Publisher Configuration Folder"
Section 22.214.171.124, "Corrections to the Setting the Location of the Shared Oracle BI Presentation Catalog Section"
After restarting Oracle BI Publisher when specifying the location of the configuration folder, as described in Section 18.104.22.168, "Setting the Location of the Shared Oracle BI Publisher Configuration Folder," you must copy the XML configuration file for Oracle BI Publisher from the Managed Server to the Administration Server location. Oracle BI Publisher reads its configuration from the Administration Server central location rather than from the Managed Server's configuration directory when the Managed Servers are restarted.
To do this, on APPHOST1, copy the file xmlp-server-config.xml from:
The "Setting the Location of the Shared Oracle BI Presentation Catalog" section of the Oracle Fusion Middleware Enterprise Deployment Guide for Oracle Business Intelligence should be replaced by the following section:
Each Presentation Services instance loads the Oracle BI Presentation Catalog from the catalog location specified in Fusion Middleware Control.
Perform the following steps:
Copy your existing (locally published) Oracle BI Presentation Catalog to the shared location. An example of a locally published catalog is:
ORACLE_INSTANCE/bifoundation/OracleBIPresentationServicesComponent/ coreapplication_obipsn/catalog/SampleAppLite
You must perform this step before designating the Catalog Location from Fusion Middleware Control.
If you plan to use the SampleAppLite catalog mentioned as an example in this section as the shared catalog, make sure to copy it from APPHOST1.
Log in to Fusion Middleware Control.
Expand the Business Intelligence node in the Farm_domain_name window.
Click coreapplication.
Click Deployment, then click Repository.
Click Lock and Edit Configuration.
Specify the Catalog Location for the shared Oracle BI Presentation Catalog.
In a Windows environment, specify a UNC path name.
Click Apply.
Click Activate Changes.
This section describes documentation errata that affects multiple Enterprise Deployment Guides. Any Enterprise Deployment Guide that have the documentation errata issue discussed in the release notes below should be updated as specified in that release note.
It includes these topics:
Section 188.8.131.52, "Sections on Configuring Oracle Coherence for SOA Composites Need Fixes"
Section 188.8.131.52, "Updates are Needed to Steps for Testing Server Migration"
Section 126.96.36.199, "Steps for Updating Data Sources for Server Migration Need Updates"
Section 220.127.116.11, "Clarification of the Procedure for Configuring the Analytics Collectors"
Section 126.96.36.199, "WebLogic Versions May Not Be Current in Enterprise Deployment Guides"
Several Enterprise Deployment Guide manuals have a "Configuring Oracle Coherence for Deploying Composites" section that includes a Note like the following:
Note:The Coherence cluster used for deployment uses port 8088 by default. This port can be changed by specifying the
.port startup parameter.
This Note should read as follows:
Note:The Coherence cluster used for deployment uses port 8088 by default. This port can be changed by specifying a different port (for example, 8089) with the
.port and
-Dtangosol.coherence.localport startup parameters. For example:
WLS_SOA1 (enter the following into the Arguments field on a single line, without a carriage return):
-Dtangosol.coherence.wka1=soahost1vhn1 -Dtangosol.coherence.wka2=soahost2vhn1 -Dtangosol.coherence.localhost=soahost1vhn1 -Dtangosol.coherence.localport=8089 -Dtangosol.coherence.wka1.port=8089 -Dtangosol.coherence.wka2.port=8089
WLS_SOA2 (enter the following into the Arguments field on a single line, without a carriage return):
-Dtangosol.coherence.wka1=soahost1vhn1 -Dtangosol.coherence.wka2=soahost2vhn1 -Dtangosol.coherence.localhost=soahost2vhn1 -Dtangosol.coherence.localport=8089 -Dtangosol.coherence.wka1.port=8089 -Dtangosol.coherence.wka2.port=8089
Several Enterprise Deployment Guide manuals have one or more subsections that describe how to test server migration.
The following Note should appear at the end of every section on testing server migration:
Note:After a server is migrated, to fail it back to its original node/machine, stop the managed server from the Oracle WebLogic Administration Console and then start it again. The appropriate Node Manager will start the managed server on the machine to which it was originally assigned.
Several Enterprise Deployment Guide manuals have one or more subsections that describe how to update the data sources used for leasing when you configure server migration.
The following text appears in the instructions on how to update data sources for leasing as part of server migration configuration:
Use Supports Global Transactions, One-Phase Commit, and specify a service name for your database
That text should appear as follows:
Data sources do not require support for global transactions. Therefore, do not use any type of distributed transaction emulation/participation algorithm for the data source (do not choose the Supports Global Transactions option, or the Logging Last Resource, Emulate Two-Phase Commit, or One-Phase Commit options of the Supports Global Transactions option), and specify a service name for your database.
Section 6.4.16, "Configuring the Analytics" in the Oracle Fusion Middleware High Availability Guide contains content that indicates that you must configure an analytic collector cluster. In fact, there is no need to configure the collectors themselves. Instead, the procedure in this section explains how to configure the Oracle WebCenter Spaces servers to communicate with the analytic collectors.
Further, for Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g Release 1 (188.8.131.52.0), clustered analytics collectors are not supported for collecting WebCenter events.
In Oracle Fusion Middleware Enterprise Deployment Guide for Oracle Business Intelligence, Chapter 2, "Database and Environment Preconfiguration," Table 2-2 lists the ports used in the Oracle Business Intelligence topology. The following additional information should be included in the table above the row containing "Database Access:"
Type: Database access for BI Server and BI Publisher JDBC Data Sources
Firewall: FW1
Port and Port Range: Listening port for client connections to the listener.
Protocol/Application: SQL*Net
Inbound/Outbound: Both
Other Considerations and Timeout Guidelines: Timeout depends on all database content and on the type of process model used for BI.
Note:This issue was fixed in the E15722-03 revision of Oracle Fusion Middleware Enterprise Deployment Guide for Oracle Business Intelligence.

Welcome to Retro Lovely's home on the web. Retro Lovely is unlike anything else currently available today. Our regular issues are without question the largest collections of pinup imagery you will find today, unless you're looking at buying a book and often people will remark that Retro Lovely is closer to a book, than a magazine. For starters our regular issues exceed 120 pages each. Then there's the quality. Quality in the images as we are very particular about what we publish and quality in materials as we feel those images deserve to be reproduced as well as possible. Our printing specifications have us using a state of the art facility coupled with materials normally associated with art-books than the thin newsprint you'll find with most magazines. Our issues are free from editorial of event coverage, product reviews and very very lean on advertising (which itself is often on par with the art we feature). These points have us claim "The Most Pinup Anywhere" (in print of course). If you find yourself flipping through your favoritve lifestyle publication, be it pinup, hotrod etc... wishing to see more of the pinup imagery those may feature... Retro Lovely is for you. Our issues are highly prized and as we keep selling through have gained in collector's value. So significant has that all become that we began offering a money back guarantee. If you try a copy and don't love it, we'll give you your money back. Funny thing about that too is that if you waited long enough we might actually give you more than what you paid for the copy. Currently 4 of our issues command premium prices beyond the original cover price and 2 of those, Issue No.1 and Taboo Edition No.1 are bringing $50 and $75 each from us if you should have a mint copy and wish to part with it.
The link above to "Buy Now" will take you to our company store. It looks different from this site so don't be alarmed, you can click the image below as well (that's what the store looks like).
Retro Lovely Magazine is a high quality publication for the enthusiast of pinup photography. High quality in content and materials both. "It's more like a book" is the phrase you will most hear people exclaim when they get their hands on an issue. So exceptional has its launch been that the first two issues have virtually sold out with remaining inventory soon to be reserved for first printing boxed sets. Retro Lovely Magazine is the without equal. Do support other pinup magazines, each is unique and has something different to offer. But start your collection with each issue of Retro Lovely, they are the ones you'll return to again and again.
In an era where printed publications seem to be a thing of the past and one magazine folds as another multi-title conglomerate sacrifices a masthead like a wild animal caught in a trap might gnaw off its own limb for survival ... At a time when big electronics corporations battle to produce "the" electronic means with which to deal a final deathblow to newspapers, magazines and (dare we say it?) … books … Why would anyone in their right mind launch a new magazine?
Because some of us live in a different era. Some of us live with one foot in the past while others live in a surreal, quasi-past -- one where Buddy Holly's Peggy Sue emanates from an MP3 player connected to the stereo of a flat black Merc with a Betty Page air freshener bouncing wildly from the rear view mirror like some alternative reality hula-dancer. We're launching a new magazine because there is an ever growing army of fans of pinup as well as an impressive corps of artists producing an amazing body of work that is best served by this antiquated medium of ink on paper. We also want to ensure this art lives on, long after this internet fad blows over or some rogue state finally secures a nuke of their own, tripping off what we feared all along during the cold war and the power grid finally goes down for the count. It may be that a new bio-weapon, silicon-eating microorganism is developed that feeds on our precious electronics like they were candy, or simply that a solar flare hits, unplugging us from our high speed, Wi-Fi, 3g dependencies. If any such revolutionary catastrophe occurs, the pages of Retro Lovely will become very valuable indeed. Save the smart phone though; it should make a suitable paperweight.
Welcome to Retro Lovely.
This magazine will cater to no one single pinup style. It will bring you Classic Cheesecake, Hollywood Noir, Cabaret, Burlesque, Victorian, Deco, Kitschy, Atomic, Bad Part of Town Rust Queen and every conceivable cross-pollination of these you can imagine. You will find models with and without ink in all manner of settings with all manner of props. You see, Peggy Sue got married and had a little girl and then a granddaughter and now that young lady is a lawyer, but on the weekends she's a Roller Derby Queen and goes by the name Peggy SoSueMe. She also models and has a devoted fan base who wants nothing more than to pin up her photo as they lead their quasi-past lives.

Indianapolis based Frangipani Body Products specializes in all-natural skin care and body products and recently won a 3rd Annual Beauty with a Conscience Award.
When I first saw the products in a local magazine, I didn't know it was an Indy based company. When I checked out all the positive feedback on facebook from others with similar ages and skin types, I HAD to order some. The owner and creator of the products, Tracy Land, originally had been making them to heal her own skin, as she battled the skin condition rosacea (which I have as well) then sold it to a few friends while she worked in the Quality Assurance end of IT.
Tracy continued to develop the concept and when her position was eliminated, instead of just picking up an unemployment check, she started refining the products, producing the products and selling to the public, using word of mouth, farmer's markets, trade shows, etc. I can only imagine how much telephoning, strategy, business planning and leg work that was. The product was a hit, and is now carried in a number of stores, including Whole Foods, in addition to being on line.
Frangipani products contain only plant based ingredients, and almost NO water. Only a small amount is needed so the product is quite long lasting which makes it a value. Compared to what I spent at the Lancome and Clinique and Estee Lauder counters over the years for things that only made my skin redder and more irritated. . . a bargain!
Sure, I could go out and get buffed and abraded and bo-toxed, quick, fake fixes. I prefer a product that heals the skin in the long term, helping it glow from the inside out.
I have no desire to be 20 again, (which is like 2 in dog years). Aging gracefully is wonderful, whether you're a famous black lab or his redheaded "Mom".
The Frangipani products: So many - cleanser, creams, serums, Shea butter creams that would be perfect for gals OR guys to make work worn hands feel like velvet, lip balm, all kinds of things. The skin care selections range from oily teenage skin to OMG, I remember 8 track tapes! My favorites are the cleanser and the facial serum. I love gel cleansers but they dry my skin. Cream cleansers remind me of Grandma's Ponds Cold Cream and make me break out if I use every day. The Frangipani cleanser is smooth and very creamy but it lathers just enough to clean and rinses completely, without rubbing, leaving my face soft without having to irritate it with a wash cloth. To exfoliate, there is an exfoliating product that's plant oil based with little jojoba beads that gently get rid of dry skin, as they gently dissolve.
I'm thinking the facial cleanser might work well for guys for shaving. The faint coconut and olive oil based scent is very pleasant but NOT girly. Tracy does not use fragrance oils in her Frangipani line, but only essential oils, much gentler on the skin while still smelling wonderful.
I also love the body oil, (you have to try that one) it's rice bran oil based so it soaks right in after bathing avoiding that whole, "Honey I just got out of the shower and moisturized and would love a hug", wherein he complies and you go shooting out of his arms like a watermelon seed and bounce off the walls, ruining the mood). And both the grapefruit and the lavender blends smell incredible but not overpowering
But don't let the all natural, plant based products fool you. I've talked to Tracy several times as I got her permission to post this and not only is she a wonderful lady and product genius, she likes bacon!
Check the website out (just click on the Frangipani name in purple at the start of the post). Everything can be shipped promptly and the beautiful amber recyclable glass bottles are carefully packaged so there is no breakage (and trust me on the body oil thing.)

Interesting walks around the block
Wick's World
I am a walker and I love my pedometers. Buy me a pedometer for Christmas or my birthday and you cannot go wrong. I will never have too many. A pedometer gives me an incentive to walk as it accumulates the number of steps you log per day. Approximately every 2,000 steps equals one mile. If you have a competitive personality like I do, the pedometer offers a challenge and is a useful tool on the road to health.
When I began my rehabilitation following heart surgery, I was placed on a treadmill and walked for 15 minutes at the rate of one mph. It seemed like I was barely crawling, but that really was all I could handle. Two months later, I am on the treadmill speeding along at four mph for 20 minutes. I follow this with a five mile walk around the block. When I first began rehabilitation, the five-mile walks took almost four hours to accomplish. Yesterday, I did the trip in less than two hours — a very satisfying accomplishment.
Now that spring has finally arrived (at least in Eagan) I find my walks taking much more time. How could this be, you ask? The simple answer: The snow is gone, revealing all sorts of goodies along the trail. Yesterday's find included a pedometer.
In the last two weeks I have found a penny, a nickel, two dimes and a quarter. Can you guess the most prolific product lying buried in the snow? Take a short walk and the answer will become immediately obvious. It is anything plastic, especially bottles and bags. Plastic cigarette lighters can be found alongside empty cigarette packs and way too many cigarette butts.
I could not understand why so many smokers tossed their butts out at stoplights. One day it became clear to me. Many smokers have "type A" personalities and always feel a need to be doing something with their hands or mouth. As I noticed that these piles of cigarette butts littering the corner near the stoplight were all the same brand, it dawned on me that people were emptying their ashtrays while waiting for the light to turn green.
One day lying there in a discarded pile of butts, a car key stood out. Some unlucky cigarette-smoking litterer had thrown out their spare key when they emptied the ashtray. My first reaction was that they deserved it. I briefly thought it over and gave the owner a chance at recovering the key. Lord knows how many keys I have lost over a lifetime and sometimes it would have been quite valuable to have it returned.
This is way too large of a city to place a lost and found ad, like I could do in the Moose Lake Star Gazette, so I came up with a different idea for this key. I propped it up on the three-foot high base of the street pole that abutted the stoplight. The key was just about eye level for any passing driver and I figured there might be an outside chance that its owner would spot it. I'll never know if that happened or not, but sure enough, the key was gone the very next day.
I found plenty of tossed liquor bottles. Almost all of them contained vodka, the hardest liquor to detect on one's breath, therefore, the choice alcohol for the "drinking and driving" crowd.
I found a pair of men's underwear the other day, blue BVDs, size 42-44. They were too large for me, so I put them back where I found them. If you give this some thought, how would a guy lose his underwear near the freeway?
What was the strangest thing I have seen along I-35E and Cliff Road? One morning just after crossing the bridge on the freeway overpass, I decided to take the shortcut down the hill to the Target store. This trail passes through a small set of woods that abut the Target parking lot. Just before I stepped onto the blacktop where the customers park, I walked right smack into a brush wolf. We couldn't have been more than 10 feet apart. We momentarily stared into each other's eyes. I slowly walked onto the blacktop and Wiley Coyote slowly walked away.

The World War II National Submarine Memorial-West, at the Seal Beach Naval Weapons Station, is offering itself for a time of reflection.
Several hundred people attended a dignified ceremony this Memorial Day to remember the sacrifices of servicemen and women.
But plans are now being developed to improve the site, possibly with a museum and library, said Ed Barwick, memorial director.
The plans also include efforts to showcase the histories of the 52 submarines lost during World War II. Memorial Day's "tolling the boats" ceremony included only the name of each mourned submarine and the number of lost crew members.
"One of my planned projects is to install `story boards' around the memorial," said Barwick. "This will allow people to do self-guided tours and learn more about the history of these submarines and their crews."
Dave Vanderveen, who volunteered to write some of the submarine history narratives, reports that an assessment of military combat performance by a joint Army-Navy commission found that American submarines sank nearly 1,400 Japanese ships, or 55percent of Japan's total lost ships. The remainder were sunk by surface forces, Naval and Army aircraft or mines.
The U.S. submarine force was composed of about 50,000 officers and enlisted men – 16,000 crewmen, plus support personnel and staff – or 1.6 percent of the total Navy complement. According to Vanderveen, a force representing less than 2 percent of the Navy destroyed 55 percent of Japan's navy and merchant marine ships.
Among the 52 U.S. submarines sunk during World War II, more than 3,500 officers and enlisted men died, Vanderveen noted, adding that the submarine service lost 22 percent of its personnel, "the highest loss rate for any branch of the military."
Excerpts from Vanderveen's first draft for the planned story boards include these details:
In February 1942, the first loss to Japanese anti-submarine forces occurred at sea. USS Shark was sunk by surface craft in Molucca Passage with the loss of 59 crewmen.
In January 1943, USS Argonaut attacked a group of five Japanese ships, hitting one destroyer for damage. In turn, Argonaut was attacked with depth charges which lifted her to the surface where she was hit many times by gunfire. She soon sank with a loss of all hands.
One of the submarine Navy's legendary events occurred in February 1943, when USS Growler attacked a small convoy. In the heat of battle, the craft collided with one of the small ships whose crew machine-gunned the submarine's bridge and shears, killing two men and wounding the captain, Howard W. Gilmore. He ordered the other survivors to clear the bridge, then ordered his executive officer to "take her down."
In November 1943, the USS Sculpin, with division commander Capt. John Cromwell, attacked a Japanese convoy near Truk (now Chuuk). Destroyers damaged the ship and it waited for attackers to leave. Cromwell ordered the crew to abandon the sub, and he chose to go down with the Sculpin. He and 11 others died.
In October 1944, the USS Tang, already among the most successful submarines, sank five ships in three attacks. With half its torpedoes still aboard, the sub then attacked another convoy, sinking two ships. Crew members loaded the last two torpedoes and fired them at the target. One ran hot, straight and normal, but the other circled back to the Tang. The torpedo struck the submarine, destroying the engine room and after-torpedo room. Altogether, eight men survived.
On Aug. 6, 1945, USS Bullhead was sighted by an aircraft that dropped bombs, hitting the boat twice. Bullhead, the last U.S. submarine lost in World War II, sank with all hands.

A U.S. appeals court on Tuesday said an Idaho woman who aborted her pregnancy by taking pills instead of traveling to a clinic or hospital as required by state law should not have been criminally charged.
In the same opinion, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals court upheld a U.S District Court decision that ruled the woman could not challenge an Idaho state law that bans most abortions after 19 weeks under the premise that fetuses feel pain at that stage of development.
In 2010, Jennie Linn McCormack, an unmarried mother of three, was pregnant, unemployed and receiving between $200 and $250 a month in child support, according to the court opinion.
McCormack searched for an abortion provider but there were none in Bannock County, where she lived, the court opinion said, adding in a footnote that 87 percent of counties in the U.S. do not have abortion providers.
She knew she could get an abortion in Salt Lake City, Utah, about 138 miles away, but the procedure would cost between $400 and $2,000, the opinion said.
Watch the Top Videos on NBCNews.com
Instead McCormack chose RU-486, a medication that induces an abortion, which she ordered online. The drug is approved for use by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and can be prescribed over the Internet. The drug is for early pregnancies, however, and McCormack was much farther along.
She confided in a friend, and that friend's sister tipped off police, National Public Radio reported. Police found the fetus wrapped up on her back porch.
McCormack was charged by Bannock County prosecutors last year under a 1972 Idaho law that requires abortions be performed by a physician at a licensed abortion facility. If convicted, she would have faced up to five years in prison.
"There are many cases where they prosecute or threaten to prosecute a doctor," Richard Hearn, McCormack's attorney, told NPR. "There are not so many where they've prosecuted a woman."
Around the time of her arrest, Idaho passed a statute making it illegal for women to obtain abortions after their 19th week of pregnancy, the AP reported. In the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, lawmakers argued that fetuses start feeling pain around 20 weeks.
McCormack was not charged under this statute, although she did challenge it in her lawsuit.
Read the appeals court opinion (.pdf)
The criminal case against McCormack was dismissed and on Sept. 16, 2011, she filed a broad lawsuit claiming that Idaho's abortion law is unconstitutional because it places an undue burden on women, which flies in the face of the Supreme Court's Roe v. Wade, which legalized abortion in the U.S.
An Idaho federal judge issued an injunction saying the law could not be enforced against McCormack.
In its opinion, the 9th Circuit largely agreed with McCormack and her counsel. Criminal abortion statutes typically apply to doctors, who perform unhealthy abortions that threaten women's safety, the unanimous three-judge panel said.
Further, Idaho's law is at odds with Roe v. Wade, the judges said, because pregnant women should not be criminally charged nor expected to "explore the intricacies of state abortion statutes."
Under the law, they said, women in McCormack's position have three choices: To carefully read Idaho law, violate the law or not get an abortion.
The opinion also points to a letter the state's attorney general wrote about the abortion law, in which he says the law "plainly intends to erect a substantial obstacle to the right to choose."

At this point in the litigation, only McCormack cannot be prosecuted -- not women generally, the court said. McCormack may ultimately get a judgment that strikes down the law entirely, the 9th Circuit said.

This is one of eight for an exhibition at Sarah Wiseman gallery. They need one image by the morning for their Christmas exhibition invite. I have a bit more to do on it but while I was waiting for it to completely dry I thought I would use the opportunity to write this. I get this far with the paint then sketch over the top and add details like roof tiles etc which you can't often see in the photos.
Thats it I'm off to try and finish it before the end of the day!
Happy halloween to all!
p.s I really hope we don't have any trick or treaters because all i have to offer is a ryvita or a weight watchers yoghurt, don't think they would be too impressed!

May 26, 2011
Los Angeles (May 26, 2011) – American Federation of Musicians (AFM), American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (AFTRA), Directors Guild of America (DGA), International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees, Moving Picture Technicians, Artists and Allied Crafts of the United States, Its Territories and Canada (IATSE), International Brotherhood of Teamsters (IBT), and Screen Actors Guild (SAG) today released the following statement:
"We congratulate Chairman Leahy, Ranking Member Grassley and Senator Hatch for their dedication and leadership in support of the PROTECT IP Act and commend the Senate Judiciary Committee for their unanimous vote to pass it. We also thank Senators Klobuchar and Cornyn along with Senator Coons for their leadership on S. 978, the Commercial Felony Streaming Act and look forward to similar action on S. 978 in the near future. We will work hard to help move these two bills that so dramatically affect our members' lives and livelihoods to enactment.
"As the Unions and Guilds representing more than 400,000 entertainment industry workers including craftspeople, actors, technicians, directors, musicians, recording artists and others whose creativity is at the heart of the American entertainment industry, we believe the PROTECT IP Act is critical to efforts to aggressively combat the proliferation of foreign 'rogue websites' that steal US produced content and profit from it by illegally selling it to the American public.
"Let us be very clear: online theft is stealing. It results in thousands of lost jobs and millions of dollars in lost wages for our members. We reject the claims that shutting down illegal sites may somehow impact legitimate commercial websites. This bill clearly goes after illegal sites; legitimate and law abiding websites are not the target and we would hope that those who advocate against either of these bills are not condoning illegal activity on the Internet any more than they would condone illegal activity in their bank or grocery store. Today's passage of the PROTECT IP Act is a significant step toward ending the 'looting' of the creative and artistic entertainment works that constitute our members' hard work, and are an invaluable part of our collective cultural heritage."
About the PROTECT IP Act:
The PROTECT IP Act provides lawmakers and the creative community with the tools to directly combat digital theft by targeting "rogue websites"—a major source of lost revenue. "Rogue websites" refer to illegal websites that profit from the distribution of copyrighted content or the sale of counterfeit goods. These sites are run by foreign entities that profit on the backs of creative workers and threaten their ability to make a living.

TEL AVIV (MarketWatch) -- Macy's Inc., M, +1.07% the Cincinnati retailer, said on Thursday that to enable last-minute pre-Christmas shopping, it would open most of its stores for business for 48 straight hours, from 7 a.m. Friday, Dec. 21, through 7 a.m. Sunday, Dec. 23. The company said that its One Day Sale offers would conclude at 7 a.m. Dec. 23 but that most of the stores would remain open that day until midnight. And certain stores will stay open continuously through 6 p.m. Christmas Eve, Dec. 24, Macy's said. The move expands the retailer's effort to open its doors for long pre-Christmas hours.

Ever since the first Android phones came out back in October 2008, I've been keeping an eye on their progress. I didn't care for the original HTC Hero, but the newest phones based on Android 2.1/2.2 look very impressive. Now that my iPhone 3G contract is up, I decided I'd get one. Since I'm on AT&T and wanted to stay with that provider, I went with the Samsung Captivate and a screen protector for it. My friend/co-worker, Michael Hutchinson, recently bought a Samsung Vibrant (he's on T-Mobile) and has been very happy with it. Another friend/co-worker, Gonzalo has also been happy with his switch to the Captivate on AT&T, so I expect that I'll be pleased as well.
One of the reasons I decided to get an Android phone is that the Mono team is working on MonoDroid, a port of Mono to Android phones. While I'm not on the team working on the port, I am interested as a potential Android developer in using MonoDroid to write some of my own applications for Android phones.
10 years ago, when I first started working for Helix Code on the GNOME desktop for Linux to help make Linux usable for average Joes, I never expected that I'd ever have a phone that ran Linux! Especially a Linux-based phone that is taking the smart-phone market by storm! These are very exciting times for me, and I'm sure for the Google folks working on the Android project!
After I get my feet wet for a week or so with using my new Captivate phone, I'll try to write up a review of what I think, so stay tuned!
