WLST script to Enable/Disable the debug flags in Weblogic Server

WLST script to Enable/Disable the debug flags in Weblogic Server


This tutorial explains the approach to enable/disable the debug flags in Weblogic Server.

The Debugging flags will help us to enable/disable the debugging for different modules in weblogic.

The flags can be enabled/disabled in different ways

Admin Console


Access admin console — http://localhost:7001/console
Navigate to Environment →Servers → <<Server>> → Debug



Select the required flags and click on Enable/Disable.



WLST Script


The below WLST script enable the Debug Flag ‘DebugSSL’ for configured servers

EnableORDisableDFlags.properties

serverflagconfigs=AdminServer=DebugSSL:false,MS1=DebugSSL:true


EnableORDisableDFlags.py
import re
from java.io import FileInputStreamdef EnableORDisableDFlags(): edit()
 startEdit()
 propInputStream = FileInputStream('EnableORDisableDFlags.properties')
 configProps = Properties()
 configProps.load(propInputStream)  
 
 serverflagconfigs = re.split(",",configProps.get("serverflagconfigs"))
 print serverflagconfigs
 
 for serverConfig in serverflagconfigs: 
 
   serverName=re.split("=",serverConfig)[0]
   config=re.split("=",serverConfig)[1]
   print config
   cd('/Servers/'+serverName+'/ServerDebug/'+serverName)
   flagName=re.split(":",config)[0]
   flagValue=re.split(":",config)[1]
   set(flagName,flagValue)
   print 'Modified the DFlag for '+serverName+' '+ flagName+':'+flagValue
 save()
 activate()  
   
  
def main():
    adminURL='t3://localhost:7001'
    adminUserName='weblogic'
    adminPassword='weblogic1'
    connect(adminUserName, adminPassword, adminURL)
    EnableORDisableDFlags();
    print 'Successfully Modified the DFlags'
    disconnect()
main()


Script -
https://github.com/techforum-repo/youttubedata/tree/master/scripts/wlst/EnableORDisableDFlags

Before executing the script, change the configurations as required.

Execute the script — <<Oracle_Home>>\oracle_common\common\bin\wlst.cmd EnableORDisableDFlags.py




Now the DebugFlag is Enabled/Disabled based on the configurations



JVM start arguments


The debug flags can be enabled/disabled through server start up arguments

Add the flags with -D to the server start up arguments through console Environment →Servers →<<Server>> →Server Start

-Dweblogic.debug.DebugSSL=false



Other option is add the debug flags to the start up file startWebLogic.cmd/startWebLogic.sh or startManagedWebLogic.cmd/startManagedWebLogic.sh based on which file is used to start the server.

e.g.

JAVA_OPTIONS=”${JAVA_OPTIONS} -Dweblogic.debug.DebugSSL=true

The changes will take effect after restarting the server

SOA-INFRA Application is in unknown Type - Oracle SOA Suite 11g

SOA-INFRA Application is in unknown Type - Oracle SOA Suite 11g:

I was facing a strange issue,the Type of the soa-infra application was unknown but the state and the health of the application is looking fine(Active and OK) in admin console.
Because of this the SOA node is not displayed in the em console.




Tried restarting the server without any luck and also updated(redeployed) the soa-infra application but still the type of the application is unknown.

I could not able to find any exception related to this issue in the log files and also there is no issue related to the database schema's.

Steps to resolve the issue

Delete the soa-infra application from the admin console deployments.
Install the soa-infra application(soa-infra-wls.ear) from the location SOA_HOME\soa\applications as Enterprise Application.

WLST script to enable Backup/Archive configurations in weblogic server

WLST script to enable Backup/Archive configurations in weblogic server


By enabling the backup/archiving in Weblogic, the administration Server can automatically backups the domain configuration (the entire domain-name/config directory) during the server boot to DOMAIN_HOME\config-original.jar and config-booted.jar.

Also multiple versions of the domain config will be archived by the Administration Server, each time the domain configuration is modified into the DOMAIN_CONFIG\configArchive folder.

The configuration archives can be used for system restoration in cases where accidental configuration changes need to be reversed.

This tutorial explains how to use WLST script to enable backup/archive configurations.


WLST Script


The below WLST script will help us to enable the backup/archive configurations

EnableArchiving.py

adminURL='t3://localhost:7001'
adminUserName='weblogic'
adminPassword='weblogic1'
connect(adminUserName, adminPassword, adminURL)
domainRuntime()
edit()
startEdit()
cmo.setConfigBackupEnabled(true)
cmo.setArchiveConfigurationCount(5)
save()
activate()



Script
https://github.com/techforum-repo/youttubedata/blob/master/scripts/wlst/EnableArchiving.py

Execute the script

<<Oracle_Home>>\oracle_common\common\bin\wlst.cmd EnableArchiving.py



Verify the configuration


To verify the configuration- Login to admin console →Click on Domain in the left panel →Expand the Advanced in General Configuration section



When the Admin Server starts up it automatically makes a backup of DOMAIN_HOME/config directory and stores it in DOMAIN_HOME/config-original.jar(original configuration file while restarting the server) and once the start up completed(booted) successfully it makes a backup of DOMAIN_HOME/config directory and stores it in DOMAIN_HOME/config-booted.jar(the config file on which the server is booted successfully) .

Most of the cases both of the file contents will be same. If the server fails to boot successfully the config-booted.jar will not be generated and the old config-booted.jar file will be left as it is.



Also whenever the domain configuration is modified, the admin server archive the previous configurations to the DOMAN_HOME\configArchive folder.The files use the naming convention as config-number.jar, where number is the sequential number of the archive.After it reaches the maximum number of archive files specified in the configuration(ArchiveConfigurationCount — 5), older archive files will be discarded



Recover the configurations


Follow the below steps to recover the configurations from archive

Stop the servers

Rename the current <<DOMAIN-HOME>>/config folder to config-bkp

Create a folder with name config under <<DOMAIN-HOME>>

cd to <<DOMAIN-HOME>>/configArchive in a command prompt

Execute the below command(change the archive file name as required)

tar -xf config-1.jar -C <<DOMAIN-HOME>>\config



Start the server — now the configurations are restored from the archive.

Transforming the REST XML message to SOAP message - OSB

Transforming the REST XML message to SOAP message - OSB

This post will explain how to Transform the REST XML message to SOAP message in OSB

While receiving the response from REST interface  with the content type as application\xml, the input XML will be plain without the target namespace specified.
But if you are invoking the BPEL with this message the BPEL cant perform any xpath operations on this message without target namespace.The target namespace should be added to the message.

The XSLT can be used to add the name space to the XML message but before performing this operation the SOAP envelope of the body variable should be removed
After removing the namespace the XML should be assigned to the body variable to send to target system.

Follow the below steps to achieve the same:

Remove SOAP Envelope:

The below XSLT will help as to remove the namespace from the XML.

Create a XSLT resource from SB console.
Add a Assign activity with the XSLT resource
Assign the output to a temp variable - var1.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
  <xsl:template match="@* | node()">
        <xsl:copy>
          <xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node()" />
        </xsl:copy>
      </xsl:template>

      <xsl:template match="soapenv:*">
        <xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node()" />
  </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

The XSLT can be used to remove the name space from SOAP message but before performing this operation the SOAP envelope of the body variable should be removed
After removing the namespace the XML should be assigned to the body variable to send to target system.

Follow the below steps to achieve the same:

Remove SOAP Envelope:

The below XSLT will help as to remove the namespace from the XML.

Create a XSLT resource from SB console.
Add a Assign activity with the XSLT resource

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
  <xsl:template match="@* | node()">
        <xsl:copy>
          <xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node()" />
        </xsl:copy>
      </xsl:template>

      <xsl:template match="soapenv:*">
        <xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node()" />
  </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Removing Namespace:

The below XSLT will help as to add the target namespace to the XML.

Create a XSLT resource from SB console.
Add a Assign activity with the XSLT resouce  to remove the namespace from the variable var1
Assign the ouput to a temp variable - var2

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
  <xsl:template match="*">
        <xsl:element name="{local-name()}">
            <xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node()" />
        </xsl:element>
    </xsl:template>
    <xsl:template match="@*">
        <xsl:attribute name="{local-name()}">
            <xsl:value-of select="." />
        </xsl:attribute>
    </xsl:template>
    <xsl:template match="text() | comment() | processing-instruction()">

Add replace activity to replace the node contents of body with var2


Unable to post the message to MQ through MQ adapter - Oracle SOA Suite

Unable to post the message to MQ through MQ adapter - Oracle SOA Suite

Sometimes we will be getting the below exception while posting the message to MQ  through MQ adapter in Oracle SOA Suite.

"Exception occured when binding was invoked. Exception occured during invocation of JCA binding: "JCA Binding execute of Reference operation 'Enqueue' failed due to: A webSphere MQ Error occurrred[while putting the message]. A webSphere MQ Error occurrred[while putting the message]. A webSphere MQ Error occurrred while putting the message in Queue: "EAI_ORD_RPLY_Q ". Please make sure that the Queue is Put enabled, not full, message do not exceeds maximum message length and QueueManger is up and running. ". The invoked JCA adapter raised a resource exception. Please examine the above error message carefully to determine a resolution."


Mainly this exception can occur if there is any issue with the MQ Adapter configuration or issue with the MQ server components.

The following steps can be followed to identify the issue.

MQ Adapter perspective:

Verify the MQSeriesAdapter health and state is fine


Verify the connection factory used in the Adapter is configured in weblogic server

Unable to get schema information for source - JDeveloper

Unable to get schema information for source - JDeveloper

I was getting the error "Unable to get schema information for source" while generating the XSL mapper file in the BPEL Transform activity through JDeveloper. The same error was coming while editing the existing mapper file in a transform activity with the same source variable.


But the component is getting deployed successfully and also the flows are working fine without any issue.

After the analysis i found that there is two schema's imported with the same name space into the wsdl and one of the them is used to create the message type for the source variable in the transformation.


Approaches to fix the issue

  •  Make sure the schema's are imported with different name space or create a consolidated schema and import the same 
  • Include the schema's that has the same names instead of importing them into the wsdl.

WLST script to set the XA Transaction timeout values for a data source in weblogic server

WLST script to set the XA Transaction timeout values for a data source in weblogic server


This tutorial explains the approach to set some of the important timeout properties for XA data sources in weblogic server through WLST script.

Set XA Transaction Timeout


Enables WebLogic Server to set a transaction branch timeout based on the value for XaTransactionTimeout.

When enabled, the WebLogic Server Transaction Manager calls XAResource.setTransactionTimeout() before calling XAResource.start, and passes either the XA Transaction Timeout value or the global transaction timeout.

XA Transaction Timeout


The number of seconds to set as the transaction branch timeout.
If set, this value is passed as the transaction timeout value in the XAResource.setTransactionTimeout() call on the XA resource manager, typically the JDBC driver.

When this value is set to 0, the WebLogic Server Transaction Manager passes the global WebLogic Server transaction timeout in seconds in the method.

If set, this value should be greater than or equal to the global WebLogic Server transaction timeout.


XA Retry Duration


Determines the duration in seconds for which the transaction manager will perform recover operations on the resource. A value of zero indicates that no retries will be performed.
XA Retry Interval

The number of seconds between XA retry operations if XARetryDurationSeconds is set to a positive value.

Please note the above configurations are only available to the data sources created with XA supported driver


WLST Script


The below wlst script set the required XA timeout properties

SetXATimeoutProperties.py
def setXATimeoutProperties():
   dsName='JDBC Data Source-0'
   edit()
   startEdit()
       
   server='AdminServer'
   cd("Servers/"+server)
   target=cmo
 
   print '========================================='
   print 'Setting the timeout properties for DataSource....'
   print '========================================='  
           
   cd('/JDBCSystemResources/'+dsName+'/JDBCResource/'+dsName+'/JDBCXAParams/'+dsName)
   cmo.setXaSetTransactionTimeout(true)cd('/JDBCSystemResources/'+dsName+'/JDBCResource/'+dsName+'/JDBCXAParams/'+dsName)
   cmo.setXaTransactionTimeout(3000)cd('/JDBCSystemResources/'+dsName+'/JDBCResource/'+dsName+'/JDBCXAParams/'+dsName)
   cmo.setXaRetryDurationSeconds(300)cd('/JDBCSystemResources/'+dsName+'/JDBCResource/'+dsName+'/JDBCXAParams/'+dsName)
   cmo.setXaRetryIntervalSeconds(60)save()
   activate()print 'Timeout settings for the datasource '+dsName+' has been completed'
 
 
def main():
     
    adminURL='t3://localhost:7001'
    adminUserName='weblogic'
    adminPassword='weblogic1'
    connect(adminUserName, adminPassword, adminURL)
    setXATimeoutProperties()
    disconnect()main()

Script

https://github.com/techforum-repo/youttubedata/blob/master/scripts/wlst/SetXATimeoutProperties.py

Before executing the script change the configuration values as required

Execute the script — <<Oracle_Home>>\oracle_common\common\bin\wlst.cmd SetXATimeoutProperties.py



Restart the server after successful execution. Now the XA configurations are enabled as required.

WLST script to set the JDBC Connection timeout properties in weblogic server

WLST script to set the JDBC Connection timeout properties in weblogic server


There are different timeout properties in JDBC connection, this tutorial explains the approach to set some of the important JDBC Connection timeout properties in weblogic server through WLST script.

Inactive Connection Timeout


The number of inactive seconds on a reserved connection before WebLogic Server reclaims the connection and releases it back into the connection pool.
You can use the Inactive Connection Timeout feature to reclaim leaked connections — connections that were not explicitly closed by the application.


Connection Reserve Timeout


The number of seconds after which a call to reserve a connection from the connection pool will timeout.
When set to 0, a call will never timeout.
When set to -1, a call will timeout immediately.


Statement Timeout


The time after which a statement currently being executed will time out.
A value of -1 disables this feature.
A value of 0 means that statements will not time out.


oracle.jdbc.ReadTimeout


The property oracle.jdbc.ReadTimeout helps to set read timeout while reading from the socket.

oracle.net.READ_TIMEOUT for jdbc versions < 10.1.0.5 oracle.jdbc.ReadTimeout for jdbc versions >=10.1.0.5


oracle.net.CONNECT_TIMEOUT


The property oracle.net.CONNECT_TIMEOUT helps to set the login time out in Oracle.
WLST Script

The below WLST script will help us to set the JDBC connection timeout properties

SetJDBCTimeoutProperties.py
def setJDBCTimeoutProperties():
   dsName='CRM6EAIReference'
   edit()
   startEdit()
       
   server='AdminServer'
   cd("Servers/"+server)
   target=cmo
 
   print '========================================='
   print 'Setting the timeout properties for DataSource....'
   print '========================================='  
           
   cd('/JDBCSystemResources/'+dsName+'/JDBCResource/'+dsName+'/JDBCDriverParams/'+dsName+'/Properties/'+dsName)
   #cmo.destroyProperty(getMBean('/JDBCSystemResources/'+dsName+'/JDBCResource/'+dsName+'/JDBCDriverParams/'+dsName+'/Properties/'+dsName+'/Properties/oracle.net.CONNECT_TIMEOUT'))
   cmo.createProperty('oracle.net.CONNECT_TIMEOUT')


Script

https://github.com/techforum-repo/youttubedata/blob/master/scripts/wlst/SetJDBCTimeoutProperties.py

Before executing the script, change the configurations as required.

Execute the script — <<Oracle_Home>>\oracle_common\common\bin\wlst.cmd SetJDBCTimeoutProperties.py



Restart the server after successful execution. Now the JDBC connection timeout properties are set to the datasource.

A timeout occurred while interacting with sever. Limited information is available - Weblogic

A timeout occurred while interacting with sever. Limited information is available  - Weblogic 

We were getting the error "A timeout occurred while interacting with Server. Limited information is available" while accessing the Server Page from the admin console in clustered weblogic environment and the health of the server is shown as empty but the state is shown as running.
Login to the admin console and accessing the Server page also was taking more time
But the individual servers and the node managers are running fine in all the nodes.


The issue seems to be because of the delay in the communication between the node manager and the managed servers.

Steps to resolve the issue:

  • Stop all the managed servers from all the nodes.
  • Kill the node managers from all the nodes.
  • Stop the Admin server.
  • Start the node manager in all the nodes.
  • Start the Admin server.
  • Start all the managed server.

Purging Application Not Available - Oracle OSB

While we are trying to purge the reports from OSB sbconsole we may get the following message in the console.

"Purging Application Not Available.Message Reporting Purger is not deployed, or it is not active"





The issue is due to the the application "Message Reporting Purger" might not be deployed or not in active state.

Verify the application is active from the admin console. If the application is not deployed then deploy the application 
from the following location oracle/product/soa/11g/fmw/Oracle_OSB/lib/common/msgpurger. ear with the application name 
"Message Reporting Purger"

Different approaches for connecting Weblogic Server to RAC database

Different approaches for connecting Weblogic Server to RAC database

Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) is a software component you can add to a high-availability solution that enables users on multiple machines to access a single database with increased performance. RAC comprises two or more Oracle database instances running on two or more clustered machines and accessing a shared storage device via cluster technology.


If your application requires load balancing across RAC nodes, WebLogic Server supports this capability through use of Using Connect-Time Load Balancing/Failover with Oracle RAC(JDBC URL based Load Balancing/Failover), JDBC Multi Data sources with Oracle RAC nodes and Gridlink Data Source.

Multi Data Source:

Refer the below URL's for details on Multi Data Source.

http://www.albinsblog.com/2012/02/creating-jdbc-multi-data-source-through.html

Connect-Time Load Balancing/Failover with Oracle RAC(JDBC URL based Load Balancing/Failover):

The JDBC connection string can be configure with single data source to support the load balancing and failover with RAC data source nodes.
Create a Generic Data source in weblogic server and provide the JDBC URL as below.Enable and disable the load balancing and failover accordingly.

jdbc:oracle:thin:@(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS_LIST=(LOAD_BALANCE=on)(FAILOVER=on)(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=RAC node1)(PORT=1521))(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=RAC node2)(PORT=1521)))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=servicename)))

There are some limitation using this approach like the Global XA transactions are not supported.

Oracle SOA Suite – Getting the payload from the Composite instance - Part2

Oracle SOA Suite  – Getting the payload from the Composite instance - Part2

n the previous post Oracle SOA Suite– Getting the payload from the Composite instance - Part1 - Through Java API i explained how to get the Oracle SOA Suite composite instance payload through JAVA API. In the previous approach we are getting the full audit trail of the instance and the required input payloads are retrieved using DOM parser and XPath expressions.For the larger payloads this approach fails to retrieve the payload.

In this post i am explaining the approach to get the Binary payload data from the database by executing the SQL statement and parsing the same to string message.

In Oracle SOA 11g the input payload related to the composite instances(input  to the composite and all the input payload send to the references) are stored in INSTANCE_PAYLOAD(the actual XML payload is kept in XML_DOCUMENT table) table.

By querying the INSTANCE_PAYLOAD, XML_DOCUMENT and COMPOSITE_INSTANCE we can retrieve the binary input payload for a particular composite instance.After receiving the XML payload as binary we can use the java code to transform the same to string format.

import java.io.StringWriter;
import java.sql.*;
import java.util.Hashtable;
import javax.naming.*;
import javax.xml.transform.*;
import javax.xml.transform.dom.DOMSource;
import javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamResult;
import oracle.xml.binxml.*;
import oracle.xml.parser.v2.*;
import oracle.xml.scalable.InfosetReader;

public class GetPayload {
    public static Connection getConnection() throws Exception {
        Context ctx = null;
        Hashtable ht = new Hashtable();
        ht.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,"weblogic.jndi.WLInitialContextFactory");
        ht.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "t3://localhost:8000");
        ctx = new InitialContext(ht);
        javax.sql.DataSource ds =(javax.sql.DataSource)ctx.lookup("jdbc/SOADataSource");
        return ds.getConnection();
    }

    public static String getPayload() {
        Statement stmt = null;
        Connection connection = null;
        ResultSet rs = null;
        String query =
            "select xmldoc.document DOC " + "from xml_document xmldoc,instance_payload inspay,composite_instance cmpins " +
            "where xmldoc.document_id = inspay.payload_key " +
            "and inspay.instance_id = cmpins.id " +
            "and inspay.instance_type='composite' " +
            "and xmldoc.DOCUMENT_TYPE = 2 " +
            "and inspay.instance_id = 7648669";      
   
        String payload = "";
        XMLDocument doc = null;
        try {
            connection = getConnection();
            stmt = connection.createStatement();
            rs = stmt.executeQuery(query);
            XMLDOMImplementation xmldomimpl = new XMLDOMImplementation();
            while (rs.next()) {                    
                BinXMLProcessor xmlprocessor =BinXMLProcessorFactory.createProcessor();
                BinXMLStream xmlstream =xmlprocessor.createBinXMLStream(rs.getBlob("DOC"));
                BinXMLDecoder xmldecoder = xmlstream.getDecoder();
                InfosetReader xmlreader = xmldecoder.getReader();
                doc = (XMLDocument)xmldomimpl.createDocument(xmlreader);
                TransformerFactory tf = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
                Transformer transformer;
                transformer = tf.newTransformer();
                transformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.OMIT_XML_DECLARATION,"yes");
                StringWriter writer = new StringWriter();
                transformer.transform(new DOMSource(doc),new StreamResult(writer));
                payload =writer.getBuffer().toString().replaceAll("<", "&lt;").replaceAll(">","&gt;");      
           }
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } finally {
            try {
                if (rs != null)
                    rs.close();
                if (stmt != null)
                    stmt.close();
                if (connection != null)
                    connection.close();
            } catch (Exception e) {

            }
        }
        return payload;

    }
}

The same query will not work in Oracle SOA Suite 12c to retrieve the payload as some of the tables are decommissioned in Oracle SOA Suite 12c e.g. INSTANCE_PAYLOAD and COMPOSITE_INSTANCE

If the process is asynchronous then the input payload is stored into the XML_DOCUMENT, the below query can be used to retrieve the BLOB data from XML_DOCUMENT table(modify the query in java code to parse the BLOB data)

SELECT XMLDOC.DOCUMENT DOC FROM XML_DOCUMENT XMLDOC , DLV_MESSAGE DLV,DOCUMENT_DLV_MSG_REF DLVREF WHERE DLVREF.MESSAGE_GUID=DLV.MESSAGE_GUID AND MLDOC.DOCUMENT_ID=DLVREF.DOCUMENT_ID AND DLV.CIKEY=10048;

If the payload size of the synchronous process is more than the threshold the input payload is stored in AUDIT_DETAILS table as BLOB data, the following query can be used to retrieve the blob data

SELECT BIN FROM AUDIT_DETAILS WHERE CIKEY=10102

Refer the following post with more details on retrieving the data from AUDIT_DETAILS -https://www.albinsblog.com/2014/04/getting-xml-form-auditdetails-table.html

Use the xmlparserv2.jar file from the following location $MIDDLE_HOME/oracle_common/modules/oracle.xdk_11.1.0(the xmlparserv2.jar downloaded from Google may not have some of the class files included)

Enable the ClusterConstraints in weblogic server - Oracle SOA Suite 11g

Enable the ClusterConstraints in weblogic server - Oracle SOA Suite 11g :

It is possible to change WebLogic Server’s default deployment behavior for clusters by setting the ClusterConstraintsEnabled option when starting the WebLogic Server domain. The ClusterConstraintsEnabled option enforces strict deployment for all servers configured in a cluster. A deployment to a cluster succeeds only if all members of the cluster are reachable and all can deploy the specified files.

This post will explain the different approaches to change Cluster Constraint.

Through EM console:

Login to EM console 
Right click on soa-infra-->Admiistration-->System MBean browser
Enter com.bea:Name=SOACoreDomain,Type=Domain in the MBean browser filter and click ok


Change the ClusterConstraintEnabled attribute accordingly and click on Apply button
