The OSB console page was opening properly and stopped working suddenly.

The root cause of the problem is corruption of the embedded LDAP user store.

Steps to resolve the issue:

Stop all servers in the domain and backup the <<SERVER_HOME>>/data/ldap for all the servers including managed server.

Copy the ldap folder from the previous server backup or other working environment from same location to all the servers.

Restart the servers.

Accessing static files through Apache HTTP Server in Linux

This post will explain accessing static files through Apache HTTP Server in Linux

Create  a folder in server to store the static files  e.g. /app/apache/static/

Copy all the static files to /app/apache/static/ folder

Add the below contents to httpd.conf file

##Grant the access to unix user that will access the static folder
<IfModule unixd_module>
      User apacheuser
      Group apacheuser
</IfModule>

DirectoryIndex index.htm index.html

ErrorDocument 400 /error.html
ErrorDocument 401 /error.html
ErrorDocument 403 /error.html
ErrorDocument 404 /error.html
ErrorDocument 405 /error.html
ErrorDocument 408 /error.html
ErrorDocument 414 /error.html
ErrorDocument 500 /error.html
ErrorDocument 502 /error.html
ErrorDocument 504 /error.html

<VirtualHost *:80>
  ServerName staticfiles.com:80
  DocumentRoot /app/apache/static/

 Alias /files  "/app/apache/static"

<Directory /app/apache/static>
    Order deny,allow
    Allow from all
    SetHandler default-handler
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Now we can access the static file with the following url - http://staticfiles.com/files/<<file name>>

The Apache server referred here is 2.2.15

How to configure Hybris Server to use Oracle Data Base

The following steps can be followed to configure the Hybris server to use Oracle database.

Configure database user:

Login to Oracle database and create the required user and provide the grants.
create user <username> identified by <password> default tablespace <table space name> temporary tablespace <table space name>;
grant connect, resource to <username>;

Configure Hybris server

Copy the oracle driver (e.g. ojdbc6.jar) to /hybris/bin/platform/lib/dbdriver

Go to /hybris/config and edit local.properties by adding the following:
db.url=jdbc:oracle:thin:Username/password//servername:port-id/database name
db.driver=oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver
db.username=xxxxxxx
db.password=xxxxxxx

Verify the configuration details and initialize

Access the Hybris server URL and check the following details:
                   a) Database Name displayed
                   b) User name Displayed
                   c) Database Driver Displayed.
                   d) Check for the default objects (e.g. product, cart etc) already selected.

Click on initialize button on the top of the page. It will take some time and initialize all the tables, table spaces and schemas required.

After successful completion of initialization the server gets automatically restarted, or else it will display errors which need to be rectified.

Configuring proxy server details for HttpClient communication in Adobe Experience Manager(AEM)

This post will explain how to configure proxy server details for HttpClient communication in Adobe Experience Manager(AEM)

Go to config manager - http://localhot:4502/system/console/configMgr
Open Day Commons HTTP Client 3.1 and provide the proxy server details.


Check "Enable HTTP Proxy" and provide the HTTP Proxy Host and Port details.
If authentication required provide the proxy server user name and password.

Provide the host name and ip address for which the proxy is not required.

This proxy details will be used for all the communication happens via Apache HTTP commons. Client
This details will be used upon replication, if the proxy is not required to connect to publisher then add the publisher host name to No Proxy For list.

This proxy details will not be used if we are using HttpURLConnection for http communication.
