Login to console and click on servers -> Configuration > Server Start -> Argumants. specify the memory arguments in that textbox. jva -msn mxn 12.suppose you deployed a new application and the application is not reflecting to clent. what will be your steps of action First we need to check whether the application is correctly deployed by checking the log files both in Managed server and in admin server. Next thing is to check what url the application is mapped and what url the team is trying to open.We need to check the access logs too for information on what ip are trying to access the server or app. We can also go for a re deployment of the application 13.how can you change the jvm arguments in weblogic server Domain_Home/bin setDomainEnv.sh file u can set the parameters of JVM 14.what are the pre requisite to installing weblogic server 10 u should have jre6 here no need install u just copy paste First thing we need to check is whether Jre is available are not. We need at least 1GB of space to install Weblogic. 1.JDK must be installed in the system first..if./bin file is there then JDK is not necessary(platform dependency).if you are going for generic then JDK must be installed in your environment. 2. All the ports should be opened between webserver and application server and also between application sever and database. 3.check the diskspace in the filesystem.you need min of 1gb of hardware memory for 1 installation.and remeber there

will be logfiles and stackraces to occupy memory so min of 10gb is required 4.check for the file permission issues and access to root for installing JDK

1.what is weblogic server Domain packing and unpacking? Answer: pack & unpack are two commands to similar to creating templates from an existing domain. pack command will pack the domain in to a single file. This file can be copied to a different location and unpacked to recreate the domain. 2.Types of Virtual hosts and how to configure it? Answer: virtual hosts when you want to give an impression to the end users that they are connecting to different hosts, even though all of the urls are being served by the same server. There are two types of virtual hosting availabel - name based & IP based. Weblogic supports both the types. 3.Multicast monitoring and multicast test utilities? Answer: multicast is not used anymore from 9.2 onwards because of its UDP properties. It is recommended to use unicast. but if you decide to use multicast anyway , there is a uitlity that can be used to check the multicast address pings on a network. java utils.MulticastTest -n <some-name> <VIRTUAL-IP> -p <VIRTUAL-PORT> 4.what are the Http session Replication groups? Answer: Used in Session replication of cluster members. When a http session lands on a server, it chooses a secondary server based on the replication groups. 5.How Migrating Security Data? Answer: ? 6.what is side by side Deployment? Answer: It is called side-by-side deployment. Weblogic 9.2 allows two versions of the same application to be active at the same time. Which means if v1 is having connected users, they continue to work on the old version. ( It will be in a state called "RETIRING"). All the new users will be connected to the new version of this application V2. ( This is in state called "ACTIVE") Once all the users connected to V1 finish their work, it will be moved to retired state, and V2 becomes completely active. 7.How to use" weblogic server native io" packs?

Answer: I think you should pick up any deployment related issue. 4.while deploying the application it will give the error that requested resource is not found ? what will u do? Answer: Look at the error. See what resource is not available ( usually a JDBC datasource or a JMS resource) . Make sure that is available. If it is available its still giving error, try to delete and recreate the resource. 5.how can u get the deployment files from another box and from where u will get ? Answer: scp from remote box to current box. You will get these files from developers. 6. is necessary to change the jdbc connections number frequently in production is there any chance to solve that, if we want to performance tuning on jdbc ? Answer: it is not recommended to change the jdbc connections frequently. It should be stable. If there are performance related issues, they are not because of connection pool objects but because of some other problem. ( like application code or batch jobs etc) . We should try to solve the actual problem. 7.difference between weblogic 10 and 11 ? Answer: 11g is Fusion Middleware - which means it has other components ( coherence server/Enterprise manager etc) in addition to weblogic core server as one package. 11g is more tuned towards SOA architecture and tries to implement Application Grid.

Answer: There are many, i will list few to start with. There is a separate thread for this question that lists an exhaustive list of differences. 1) 9x console application is portal based application ( 8x was a not portal) 2) Embedded LDAP related changes ( multiples user are able to make changes to configuration. Configuration will be saved to config.xml in stages) 3) directory structure changes. ( 9X has $DOMAIN_HOME/servers/<server-name> ( 8x has $DOMAIN_HOME/applications folder) 4) WLST is much stronger in 9x ( earlier it was weblogic.Admin) 5) WLDF - Weblogic Diagnostic Framework introduced in 9x. This allowed to create monitoring tools with in weblogic itself. 6) Most Importantly - Execute Queues Vs Work managers EXecute Queue - was a single pool of threads used by all applications Work Managers - Allows to prioritize the incoming requests based on various parameters like ( response time, fairshare,context ) ( please add any other that u might find on your research) 7) Multipools were removed in 9x ( Earlier 8x has multipools, instead of this in 9x MultiSources are introduced) the logic of creation of Datasources in 9x is different than 8x. In 8x, first create Connection Pool then create a datasource. Its reversed in 9x. 9x is more logical and correct 9) JMS related Changes were done. 4.difference between stage,nostage,external stage ? Answer: no-stage : Application accessed from a common location. stage : Admin will copy the application to $DOMAIN_HOME/servers/<servername>/stage directory for all the targets External-stage : Weblogic administrator has to copy the files to above location. 5.what are the states of the application explain ?

Answer: $APACHE_HOME/bin/apachectl -version 4) How you find the memory leak in a particular place? Answer: need to use some kind of memory analysis tool , for eg. MAT ( Memory Analyser Tool) 5) How Admin server communicate with other weblogic servers? Answer: Question not clear. protocol : t3/http 6) If you shutdown the mng-server from console how the server knows?

2) Answer:
Admin server sends a shutdown signal to the managed server. ( Assuming there is no nodemanager) if there is node manager, the signal will be sent to nodemanager , then, nodemanager sends to managed server 7) What is the message format in Queue/Topic? Answer: Not sure if i understand the question correctly. How you knows the message is delivered or not? Answer: JMS guarantees message delivery. But the exact time of the message delivery will be sent by the JMS server to producer application through an acknowledgement. 9) How to know the application is running with out seeing the logs? Answer: couple ways : 1) look at the admin console and see the status of deployment is active 2) hit the URL of the application itself (fastest and surest way) 10) If you find the OUT OF MEMORY what is your first step? Answer: Look in the logs for "OutOfMemoryException" 11) Where you find the application logs? Answer: depends on the configuration. If log4j is configured, the directory location will be defined in the log4j.properties file . if there is nothing, then ideally the console logs and server logs should give you enough info. 12) While you are installing the server in silent mode, how you know where it goes wrong? Answer: point 1) the installer will exit with error message point 2) silent installation can create a log with the option -log=<log-location>. You can check this log to find what went wrong. 13) Which type of performance tuning you done? HW Level/OS LEVEL/JVM LEVEL/Server level ( i think here we can discuss everything that we did in the session)

Re: wipro weblogic interview questions ( 2011 aug) Reply #1 on: August 04, 2011, 07:17:24 AM

1.how do you debug log files. Answer: The question is probably how to enable DEBUG in log files. you can add the "-verbose" parameter to the JAVA_OPTIONS in setDomainEnv.sh . If log4j is used then the configuration file log4j.xml or log4j.properties file need to be updated for the parameter "logging leve" to "DEBUG" 2,if more then one process running in managed server,how do you know which application running. Answer: need to check the deployments and then check the targets for each of the application. Based on which managed server the application is targeted to , we can tell the running applicaiton. if app1 --> targeted to --> mng1 & app2 --> targeted to --> mng2 and if both mng1 & mng2 are running then it means bot app1 & app2 are running. 3,hard ware load balancer configure same box,or different box,how u configure? Answer: "Hardware loadbalancer" -- obviously it is a separate piece of hardware. It looks like a switch in our lab. It can be configured 'ON' any box. also, the configuration of hardware loadbalancer is the job of network administrator, as weblogic administrators we will not have access to network components. we dont have to know how to configure the HW loadbalancer. what a weblogic admin does is , we give the mng1:port1,mng2:port2 list where we want the requests to come to. 4,what will be eefect if multicast ip is duplicated for different applications in any network? Answer: Please elaborate the question.. Not really sure what the interviewer meant. 5,how do you give fail over support for webserrver? Answer: that is webserver failover configuration. At the very basic level, we can configure a HW loadbalancer to transfer the requests to webserver2 incase webserver1 fails. 6,what steps do you take while upgrading weblogic? Answer: backup the existing DOMAIN_HOME backup the application deployment files backup the DB if there is any execute the SMART UPGRADE or execute the sequence of scripts that were provided by the Oracle Migration Process. 7,how to take heap dump,how to analyse? Answer:

jmap -heap:format=b <pid> this will create a binary file of heap space. for analysis , you need to use some kind of tool like HAT ( Heap Analysis Tool ) . This is an open source tool that shows the current status of the heap objects. for eg. Which objects are consumeing all the space and other stuff. 8,what is ticketing tool process? Answer: : For any problem/change a ticket needs to be opened. This is usually for tracking purpose. a ticket typically has the following properties: 1)problem description 2)errors encountered 3)how to reproduce the errror 4)any logs that will help solve the problem 5)responsible group who need to solve this problem 6)dead line 7)severity etc 9,what is pinned services? a JMS service like ( Q/Topic) is eventhough targeted to a cluster, it is available only on one server at any point of time. This is the reason it is also called Singleton service. Any singleton service is usually tied to a single server. so its also called "pinned service" 10, what is sysout ,syserror logs,where it is located? usually /var/tmp/logs 11, u send the message 4 consumers through topic, have u receave any message from 4 consumers? Acknowledgement will be received from all the 4 consumers. JMS guarantees message delivery. The guarantee is provided because of the acknowledgement received from consumer. 12, difference between weblogic9.2&10.3? Answer: please, some one come up with this table... 13, where u configure session replication? Answer: under weblogic.xml file 14,how server knows which replication is using? Answer: by looking at weblogic.xml during the deployment

16, In which load balancing is effective between webserver&application server? Answer: a proxy-plugin ( mod_wl.so) is more than sufficient. 17.During the startup the server not coming up due to data source fail, what u do? 1) check the DB connectivity. If the DB connection is good and still the server is not coming up , then remove the DS from the config.xml and start the server 2) re-create the DS after the server is up. 18,u got new project ,what is basic requriment to install wls? 1) 2) 3) 4) Hardware - 1 JVM per CPU ( single core CPU) 50% of free RAM after all the JVMs useup their assigned heap size 2xRAM as swap sapce enough /tmp

19,what is dr plan?,how u do? Answer: Disaster Recovery Plan. usually if there is a physical disaster like tsunami,earthquake the entire servers need to be availabel at some other location. for this purpose, the exact setup like production is replicated in another Datacenter. eg. chennai ( production setup ) -- > then same setup at Mumbai ( for DR) and he given a scenario: scenario: I have 4 mng servers are in cluster and I want to give 100 jdbc connections. So how many sessions I have to open/give. Not sure if the question is correct .. The relation between session and jdbc connection is one-to-one. but the relation between no.of jdbc connection --> no.of connection objects in a pool is not one-toone. This means, i can have 10 connection objects in a pool, but still can give 100 connections.

Answer: Apache proxy-plugin configuration 4.what is LDAP , how it is used in the Production ? Answer: Light Weight Directory Access Protocol. This is a common protocol used to develop security related products. A security related product implements authentication,autherization,Rolemapping etc. Welogic internally has an LDAP called Embedded LDAP. 5.What is Primary,Secondary Servers ? Answer: This concept is used in Cluster with Fail-over mechanism. a request from client first lands on a JVM , its called primary sever. The primary server then chooses another member of the cluster to replicate the HTTP session. This new server is called secondary server.

YOu cant take thread dump when the process is not running. Usually when a server crashesl, a CORE dump is generated. Its different from threaddump 5) what is thread stucking an how u resolve it Quote A thread waiting for some operation to complete on HD or some other thread. This usually happens when the application that the thread is calling is not responding. Solution : Either check the called application or Bounce the servers ( calling & called ) both 6) how do u find patch levels usually in the server logs 7) difference between unicast and multi cast addresses Quote Unicast MULTICAST - UDP how u trouble shoot when server is down or crashes Quote Note: start from the logs, and follow the errors..

Re: wipro weblogic - interview questions Reply #1 on: May 12, 2011, 02:04:09 PM Nice bunch of JMS Questions. How did you manage to get him to JMS. As you can see, i am assuming you have answered all these questions except couple. Most of these questions were discussed in the classroom. Questions 8 & 9 we will include it in the next classes. I am giving a brief answer to all these questions again. 1)which is reliable queue/topic? Answer Reliable Queue/Topic is nothing but persistent Queue/Topic. The messages arrived on to this queue are guaranteed to remain even if the JVM crashes. A Reliable Queue requires a persistent store. 2) queue and topic are synchronous and asynchronous? Answer : The entire JMS is for asynchronous. 3)Is queue and topic are application dependent? Answer : No 4)what is a sub deployment explain? Answer : A Sub Deployment is a subset of resources inside a JMS Module. A subdeployment is used to target the Queues/Topics to individual servers while the parent JMS Module is targeted to a cluster. 5)Is it always need a sub deployment? Answer : Not required. Only when you have JMS Module targeting to Cluster & that JMS Module has a Queue/Topic that needs to be targeted to a JMS Server 6)Is sub deployment needs a store? Answer : No 7)difference between J Rocket an Jdk? Answer : Jrocket & JDK are both two JVMs provided from different vendors. The first one ( Jrockit) is from bea systems ( now it is Oracle ) and the 2nd one JDK was from Sun Microsystems ( Again now it is Oracle) Any of these two can be used to run Weblogic servers. They differ in terms of memory management, garbage collection and other algorithms implemented inside the JVM. 8)what is dispatch policy? Answer : It defines how a Queue/Topic handles the messages. 9)what is http tunneling an how you enable it ? Answer : A method of accessing a server/process on the same port as a webserver. A

webserver usually listens on port 80. If there is another process , lets say a MYSQL server that can also listen on port 80 its easy to communicate. Re: Weblogic Administration Interview Questions - JP Morgan Reply #1 on: May 07, 2011, 08:13:52 AM --1.startup and shutdown classes Quote startup classes - classs files that need to be loaded/executed while the server is booting up. The class files are added to the CLASSPATH in the server startup script or in setDomainEnv.sh shutdown classes - when a shutdown command is issues, weblogic server executes these classes before shutting down the server. This usually involves sending an alert message or performing a clean up operation. --2.class loader Quote the sub-system of the weblogic application server that loads the class files is called the classloader. --3.there is one hello.class file in lib folder and second one in some other place; which class will be loaded Quote if both lib and other directory are in the CLASSPATH both will be loaded. But, a classloader loads class files in the order in which they were mentioned in the CLASSPATH. So, the one that was loaded AT THE END will take precedence. --4.how to search a word in zip file Quote pgrep --5.differenc between load balance and failover Quote the difference between a "Double compartment bus" & a "two-engined train" Double Compartment Bus - can balance load & server more no. of passengers.

Quote 1) check the entire system for different bottlenecks. 2) try to tune it from HARDWARE -> OS --> JVM --> JDBC --> JMS & also the sql queries in DataBase. Re: Replication Reply #1 on: April 17, 2011, 04:05:02 AM here you go... Quote 1)What is replication Replication in general, is creating a duplicate. in case of weblogic, it is with weblogic clustering. While using weblogic clustering for High Availability ( by implementing fail over mechanism) , initially the request comes to one JVM or managed server. this jvm(managed server) is called primary server. There is also a second server in the cluster , that can store current status of the request or what is called "THE STATE OF THE REQUEST" . the first server where the request arrived is called primary server(JVM) & the second server (JVM) is called Secondary Server. Quote 2)What is http replication the above process when used for replicating ( or storing the session information in secondary server) HTTP requests. Quote 3)what is http session replication same as above. "THE CURRENT STATE" is nothing but "Session" Quote 4) In memory replication JVM --> JVM replication is in-memory replication. Instead of storing the STATE/SESSION in 2nd JVM , you can store it in a Database. In that case that replication is called JDBC replication or DB replication. Quote 5)Primary memory replication it is Primary server & secondary Server. I have never heard of "Primary Memory Replication"

Here are the answers. 1.what is the multicast? Answer: Virtual IP used by the cluster members to communicate among themselves. 2.what is cluster address? Answer: Comma separated list of member addresses ( eg. 192.168.128.9:9010,192.168.128.9:9020,192.168.128.9:9030) 3. In deployment time error "out of memory error" how to solve it? Answer: You will need more info about what the "out of memory error" is of . Possible reason could be because of the permgen space . Try to increase the permgen space. If the error is still not solved, try to increase the heap size. If it is the first time that you are deploying the application, its possible that there is not enough memory in the heap. if the application is an old one, possible reason could be a bug in the application itself. Try to run the server in debug mode and see what classes are being loaded at the time of "out of memory error" 4.how to see the high cpu usage in solaris? Answer: top command or cpustats 5.how many members in ur team and how to share the work in 24x7? Answer: usually a 24x7 support is handled in on-site/off-shore model. Onsite means whereever the client is. Offshore is usually india for us. 12 hours will be handled by offshore and 12 hours will be handled by onsite. These stats can change from project to project 6.tell me network commands? Answer: ifconfig -a netstat -na ping traceroute 7.architecture of ur app?

Answer: The frequency of Garbage Collector ( GC) is dynamic. It is the decision of the JVM to kick off GC if a particular generation of objects ( NEWGEN or OLD GEN) requires clean up. The problem is usually, the GC kicks in too frequently. To prevent GC kicking in too frequently the JVM parameters need to be tuned. the first two things you should look at is a) total heap size of the jvm b) the particular generation which is triggering more frequent GC collection. This can be seen by enabling the GC logging. Once this is identified , the size of that generational compartment needs to be increased. 2.write a unix script to get severs and application status ?
