How does PORTLET_APPLICATION table get populated - jetspeed2

How does the PORTLET_APPLICATION table get populated in jetspeed ?
One of my web apps is not deploying and this app does not contain a corresponding entry in the jetspeed table PORTLET_APPLICATION.

No entry PORTLET_APPLICATION table it means that your application is not registered with jetspeed. JetspeedContainerServlet is responsible for sending signal to jetspeed to deploy your application. Please put you application war in 'jetspeed/WEB-INF/deploy' folder.
After this jetspeed deploy service will add container servlet and move it webapps folder.

Media not found Exception In Email Business Process (Hybris)

I've created a process to be able send email to the user on order confirmation.
The problem is that on the DEV environment everything goes well but when I did a deploy to UAT server
I got an exception during the task execution ( " Media not found (requested media location: hf0/h27/8861015965726.bin) ").
Any Ideas what could be happening ?
How can this issue be resolved and what causes this issue.
hybris creates emails using Velocity templates. Those Velocity Templates are stored as Medias on the hybris Servers. hybris Medias consist of two parts: an entry in the respective table in the database and a file on the hard drive. The database entry stores metadata about that media while the file stores the actual content.
Now what hybris is telling you, is that the file on the hard drive is missing. The database entry directs to a file that is not existing. There could be a lot of reasons why that file is missing:
It was deleted during deployment.
It wasn't created during deployment.
The hybris server has no access/access rights to that directory.
In a clustered environment the file could have been stored on another node and is not accessible on the current node.
Media could be the email itself as Johannes stated, but it can also be a part of the email, an image set from the CMS cockpit for example.
To fix this issue you have to master your impex flows.
First be sure that impex contain all the data needed to create properly the email.
Then know what is imported when you deploy and update your system.
Be sure that mandatory files are imported during initialization.
Be sure that data that can be managed by webmasters are not reset by impex during update.
If a data is created during the update because init is already done then be sure that is won't be played after each update.
As the media file is not found, you can
1. go to hmc-->Multimedia-->Media, in search panel,
2. click "search additional attributes" dropdown box, select "PK of file"
3. use "8861015965726" as PK of file to search
Then you can find out what file is missing and you can import impex or upload using hmc to fix this problem.

Create app instance (in service fabric cluster explorer) ignores number of instances on local machine

Using 5.1.163 version of service fabric run time.
Created a service fabric application with one stateless web api (i.e. using owin communication listener).
Modified the generated code so that listening endpoint to contain partition id/instance id/new_guid (just as is the case for stateful services). This should allow me to create another app instance so that I can have multi-tenancy at application level.
By default, Local.xml file is set to 1 instance for this service.
Deployed it to local machine by F5. Verified that it is deployed to only one instance.
Verified that service is working fine.
Navigated to local service fabric explorer and clicked on the Cluster/Application/AppType node. Clicked on 'Create app instance'.
It successfully created 2nd app instance.
However in this new instance, the service is deployed to all 5 nodes.
I was expecting it deploy the service instance only one node. Is this a bug? But only in this version of service fabric?
When you deploy a Service Fabric application using Visual Studio (or from PowerShell) you use the Deploy-FabricApplication.ps1 that is generated for your application and found in /scripts under your SF project. This script does two things (mainly):
Create/update the application type
Create a new/upgrade existing instance of the application type
The second part there is similar to what you do in the SF Explorer, except this one also considers the publisher profile file you supply. The PS-script actually reads your publisher profile xml files and extracts any parameters in there to a hashset (a dictionary) and passes that as an argument in step 2.
You can create an instance of an SF application type using the PS cmdlets (alternatively you can use FabricClient). The following command does this: New-ServiceFabricApplication. Here you have the chance to supply your own application parameters, including instance count for services in your new application instance (if you have a dynamic parameter for that in your application manifest).
So, when you use the SF explorer to create a new application instance you cannot control how that instance is created, it is always using the default parameter values as specified directly in ApplicationManifest.xml, not values you have specified in your publisher profiles (local1, local5, cloud, etc.).
To controll the creation, run New-ServiceFabricApplication with yor parameters as a hashset.

Bluemix SAML and timeout session issue

I've created Web Application running on Java Liberty Runtime on Bluemix. Login is done by using SSO service with SAML enterprise provider. After login user redirected to my app and on every JAX-RS request I get user's credentials by following code:
Subject s = WSSubject.getCallerSubject();
Object credential = s.getPrivateCredentials().iterator().next();
String loginToken = credential.toString();
Everything works fine, but if the user has been idle for more then 10 minutes and then perform any ajax request WSSubject.getCallerSubject() returns null, and I required to refresh application.
I've tried to increase timeout by adding following attribute to web.xml:
<session-config>
<session-timeout>60</session-timeout>
</session-config>
But it didn't help. So I'm looking how can I increase timeout or possible I can retrieve user credentials in a different way?
You need to add the optional element <authCache> to the server.xml file to change the default values for the authentication cache.
As you mentioned in your question, the default value is 10 minutes. To change it to 60 minutes you need to include the following in the server.xml file:
<authCache initialSize="50" maxSize="25000" timeout="60m"/>
The documentation here provides more details and also explains initialSize and maxSize options, I left the default value for these two above and just updated timeout.
If you are deploying your application using the default method of pushing the war file, you will need to use a different approach to deploy the application with a custom server.xml file. Please check the documentation here for options on pushing Liberty profile applications (more specific check sections Server Directory and Packaged Server).
In this case, you may also want to check the server.xml file that is currently deployed and modify that version to add the <authCache> element.
You can get a copy of the file by running the following command:
$ cf files <your_app_name> app/wlp/usr/servers/defaultServer/server.xml

How to change default start page of Glassfish?

Currently when I type in the URL of my webapp, say "http://abc.edu/mywebapp/", I am taken to the login page of my webapp. When I type "http://abc.edu/", I am taken to the GlassFish info page. How can I do it such that when I key in "http://abc.edu/", I will be taken to my login page and not the GlassFish info page?
Option 1: You can set one of your webapps as default. This can be done with the admin console:
Configuration --> Virtual Servers --> server
Then select your default web application from the drop-down menu. If your webserver port is 8080, you can start your application now by:
http://hostname:8080
instead of http://hostname:8080/webapp
Notice that "server" is the name of Glassfish's default virtual server. If you configured a different virtual server for your webapp you need to change it accordingly.
Furthermore regarding this source, there might be some problems with JDBCRealms.
Option 2: You could also deploy your default webapp to "/" instead of "/webapp" but I think the first option is more flexible.
You need to change your context root to "/" Edit the application.xml that is where the context root for the app is set. You might have to undeploy the default context root inorder to do that (that is what I do in JBoss, I undeploy ROOT.war).

IIS7 Default Document not working

I'm trying to set up a simple, temporary 'System Maintenance in Progress' page. On my local host (W2K8 IIS 7), I just add App_Offline.htm at the top of the Default Document list in IIS
When I drop the file into my web root folder and load the site - the App_Offline.htm page loads. When I remove the file from the web root...Site loads as usual.
When I replicate this on our actual production web server (Win2K8 - IIS7 also), the App_Offline.htm never gets loaded.
The app is ASP.Net 4 and I do NOT have a defaultdocuments section in my web.config.
TIA - tom
Problem solved:
The file has to be named App_Offline.htm, which it was on my local box, but we didn't have the same file name on the web server.
