18 Managing Multi-Server Domains

This section contains the typical multi-server domain tasks you can perform with Oracle CEP Visualizer, including:

For more information, see:

18.1 Managing Cluster Groups and Topologies

This section describes:

18.1.1 How to View Cluster Group Membership

You can view the default and user-defined cluster groups, what servers belong to those groups, and what applications are deployed to those groups.

By default, there is a group for each server with the same name as the server and a group named AllDomainMembers which represents all the servers in the domain. In addition, you can define custom groups when you configure your cluster.

You may deploy an application to a cluster group or to an individual server. When you deploy to a cluster group, the application belongs to the group, not the individual servers in the group. When you deploy to an individual server, the application belongs to the server's own group.

For more information, see

To view cluster group membership:

  1. In the left pane, click the Domain node, where Domain refers to the name of your Oracle CEP domain.

  2. In the right pane, click the Cluster Groups/Server tab.

    The Cluster Groups/Server tab appears as Figure 18-1 shows.

    Figure 18-1 Cluster Groups/Server Tab

    Description of Figure 18-1 follows
    Description of "Figure 18-1 Cluster Groups/Server Tab"

  3. Use the Cluster Groups/Server tab to examine the server and application contents of various cluster groups.

    For example:

    • Group testgroup contains two servers (WLEvServer-1 and WLEvServer-2) and one application (helloworld) as Figure 18-1 shows.

    • Group WLEvServer-1 contains one server (WLEvServer-1) and no applications. The helloworld application listed under its Applications node belongs to group testgroup, not to server WLEvServer-1.

    • Group WLEvServer-2 contains one server (WLEvServer-2) and one application (fx). The fx application was deployed to server WLEvServer-2. The helloworld application listed under its Applications node belongs to group testgroup, not to server WLEvServer-2.

18.1.2 How to View all Cluster Topologies

Using Oracle CEP Visualizer, you can view all cluster topologies regardless of cluster implementation. You can also view cluster group properties and server instance properties.

If you deploy an Oracle CEP high availability application, you can view the Oracle CEP high availability topology. For more information, see Section 18.1.3, "How to View Oracle CEP High Availability Cluster Topologies".

If you are using Oracle Coherence for clustering, you can view Oracle Coherence topology. For more information, see Section 18.2.1, "How to View Oracle Coherence Cluster Topologies".

    • To change the sort order of a column, click the triangle to the right of the column name in the cache chart.

18.1.3.1 Visualizing an Oracle High Availability Configuration

For an Oracle CEP high availability application, the Topology tab shows the notification group nested within the deployment group.

In Figure 18-6, the deployment group is MyDeploymentGroup and the notification group is ActiveActiveGroupBean_group1.

Figure 18-6 Cluster Topology Tab: Oracle CEP High Availability

Description of Figure 18-6 follows
Description of "Figure 18-6 Cluster Topology Tab: Oracle CEP High Availability"

The primary server is identified by the icon that Figure 18-7 shows. In Figure 18-6, the primary server is CEPServer2.

Figure 18-7 Primary Server

Primary server icon

The stream data source inputs to both primary and secondary servers but only the primary server outputs events. If CEPServer2 goes down, an Oracle high availability failover occurs and CEPServer1 resumes outputting events as the new primary for ActiveActiveGroupBean_group1. When CEPServer2 is brought back online, it rejoins ActiveActiveGroupBean_group1 as a secondary server.

For information on the various tools along the top of the topology canvas, see Section 18.3, "Managing the Cluster Topology Diagram".

For more information, see:

18.1.3.2 Visualizing an Oracle High Availability and Scalability Configuration

If your Oracle CEP high availability application combines high availability and scalability, then the Topology tab shows notification groups nested within the deployment group.

In Figure 18-8, the deployment group is MyDeploymentGroup and the notification groups are ActiveActiveGroupBean_group1 and ActiveActiveGroupBean_group2.

Figure 18-8 Cluster Topology Tab: Oracle CEP High Availability and Scalability

Description of Figure 18-8 follows
Description of "Figure 18-8 Cluster Topology Tab: Oracle CEP High Availability and Scalability"

The primary server is identified by the icon that Figure 18-9 shows. In Figure 18-8, the primary server of notification group ActiveActiveGroupBean_group1 is CEPServer1 and the primary server of notification group ActiveActiveGroupBean_group2 is CEPServer3.

Figure 18-9 Primary Server

Primary server icon

The stream data source inputs to both primary and secondary servers in each notification group but only the primary server in each notification group outputs events. The stream data source is partitioned (by JMS selector) so that each notification group processes a different subset of the input data. The Oracle CEP Visualizer indicates this with a different colored line for each notification group. For example, ActiveActiveGroupBean_group1 may process events with accountID <= 500 and ActiveActiveGroupBean_group2 may process events with accountID > 500. Both CEPServer1 and CEPServer2 process events with accountID <= 500 in parallel and CEPServer3 and CEPServer4 process events with accountID > 500 in parallel. If CEPServer1 goes down, an Oracle high availability failover occurs and CEPServer2 resumes outputting events as the new primary for ActiveActiveGroupBean_group1. When CEPServer1 is brought back online, it rejoins ActiveActiveGroupBean_group1 as a secondary server.

18.2.4 How to Tune Oracle Coherence

Using Oracle CEP Visualizer, you can view and modify a variety of Oracle Coherence parameters to fine tune Oracle Coherence performance.

Note:

Not all Oracle Coherence parameters can be modified. For more information, refer to your Oracle Coherence documentation.

To determine the root cause of a problem, you can monitor Oracle Coherence parameters. For more information, see:

To tune Oracle Coherence:

  1. In the left pane, click the Domain node, where Domain refers to the name of your Oracle CEP domain.

  2. In the right pane, click the Coherence tab.

  3. In the right pane, click the Tuning tab.

    The Tuning tab appears as Figure 18-14 shows.

    Figure 18-14 Tuning Tab: Cache Tuning

    Description of Figure 18-14 follows
    Description of "Figure 18-14 Tuning Tab: Cache Tuning"

  4. To tune parameters and invoke operations for caches, select the Cache Tuning accordion tab and select a cache as Figure 18-14 shows.

    Table 18-4 lists the properties you can view and tune for the selected cache. All properties are based on Oracle Coherence http://download.oracle.com/otn_hosted_doc/coherence/340/com/tangosol/net/management/Registry.html.

    Table 18-4 Cache Tuning: Properties

    Property Description

    Cache Name

    The name of the selected cache (read-only).

    Service

    The service associated with this cache (read-only).

    Batch Factor

    The BatchFactor attribute is used to calculate the `soft-ripe` time for write-behind queue entries. A queue entry is considered to be `ripe` for a write operation if it has been in the write-behind queue for no less than the QueueDelay interval. The `soft-ripe` time is the point in time prior to the actual `ripe` time after which an entry will be included in a batched asynchronous write operation to the CacheStore (along with all other `ripe` and `soft-ripe` entries). This attribute is only applicable if asynchronous writes are enabled (that is, the value of the QueueDelay attribute is greater than zero) and the CacheStore implements the storeAll() method. The value of the element is expressed as a percentage of the QueueDelay interval.

    Valid values are doubles in the interval [0.0, 1.0]..

    Queue Delay (Milliseconds)

    The number of seconds that an entry added to a write-behind queue will sit in the queue before being stored via a CacheStore. Applicable only for WRITE-BEHIND persistence type.

    Expiry Delay (Milliseconds)

    The number of milliseconds that the MBeanServer will keep a remote model snapshot before refreshing.

    Flush Delay (Milliseconds)

    The number of milliseconds between cache flushes. Value of zero indicates that the cache will never flush.

    Refresh Factor

    The RefreshFactor attribute is used to calculate the `soft-expiration` time for cache entries. Soft-expiration is the point in time prior to the actual expiration after which any access request for an entry will schedule an asynchronous load request for the entry. This attribute is only applicable for a ReadWriteBackingMap which has an internal LocalCache with scheduled automatic expiration. The value of this element is expressed as a percentage of the internal LocalCache expiration interval.

    Valid values are doubles in the interval[0.0, 1.0]. If zero, refresh-ahead scheduling will be disabled.

    Requeue Threshold

    The maximum size of the write-behind queue for which failed CacheStore write operations are requeued. If zero, the write-behind requeueing will be disabled. Applicable only for WRITE-BEHIND persistence type.

    High Units

    The limit of the cache size measured in units. The cache will prune itself automatically once it reaches its maximum unit level. This is often referred to as the `high water mark` of the cache.

    Low Units

    The number of units to which the cache will shrink when it prunes. This is often referred to as a `low water mark` of the cache.

    Table 18-6 Node Tuning: Properties

    Property Description

    Node Name

    The name of the selected node (read-only).

    Buffer Publish Size

    The buffer size of the unicast datagram socket used by the Publisher, measured in the number of packets.

    Changing this value at runtime is an inherently unsafe operation that will pause all network communications and may result in the termination of all cluster services.

    Buffer Receive Size

    The buffer size of the unicast datagram socket used by the Receiver, measured in the number of packets.

    Changing this value at runtime is an inherently unsafe operation that will pause all network communications and may result in the termination of all cluster services.

    Burst Count

    The maximum number of packets to send without pausing. Anything less than one (for example, zero) means no limit.

    Burst Delay (Milliseconds)

    The number of milliseconds to pause between bursts. Anything less than one (for example, zero) is treated as one millisecond.

    Logging Level

    Specifies which logged messages will be output to the log destination.

    Valid values are:

    • 0 only output without a logging severity level specified will be logged

    • 1 all the above plus errors

    • 2 all the above plus warnings

    • 3 all the above plus informational messages

    • 4..9 all the above plus internal debugging messages (the higher the number, the more the messages)

    • -1 no messages

    Logging Format

    Specifies how messages will be formatted before being passed to the log destination.

    The value of the message-format element is static text with the following replaceable parameters:

    • {date} the date/time format (to a millisecond) at which the message was logged

    • {version} the Oracle Coherence exact version and build details

    • {level} the logging severity level of the message

    • {thread} the thread name that logged the message

    • {member} the cluster member id (if the cluster is currently running)

    • {text} the text of the message

    Logging Limit

    The maximum number of characters that the logger daemon will process from the message queue before discarding all remaining messages in the queue. Valid values are integers in the range [0...]. Zero implies no limit.

    Multicast Threshold

    The percentage (0 to 100) of the servers in the cluster that a packet will be sent to, above which the packet will be multicasted and below which it will be unicasted.

    Resend Delay (Milliseconds)

    The minimum number of milliseconds that a packet will remain queued in the Publisher`s re-send queue before it is resent to the recipient(s) if the packet has not been acknowledged. Setting this value too low can overflow the network with unnecessary repetitions. Setting the value too high can increase the overall latency by delaying the re-sends of dropped packets. Additionally, change of this value may need to be accompanied by a change in SendAckDelay value.

    Send Ack Delay (Milliseconds)

    The minimum number of milliseconds between the queueing of an Ack packet and the sending of the same. This value should be not more then a half of the ResendDelay value.

    Traffic Jam Count

    The maximum total number of packets in the send and resend queues that forces the publisher to pause client threads. Zero means no limit.

    Traffic Jam Delay (Milliseconds)

    The number of milliseconds to pause client threads when a traffic jam condition has been reached. Anything less than one (for example, zero) is treated as one millisecond.
