ADF Application Module Pooling

1. An application module pool is a collection of application module instances of the same type.

2. This pool of application module instances is shared by multiple browser clients whose typical "think time" between submitting web pages allows optimizing the number of application module components to be effectively smaller than the total number of active users working on the system.

3. That is, twenty users visiting the web site from their browser might be able to be serviced by 5 or 10 application module instances instead of having as many application module instances as you have browser users.

4. As a performance optimization, when an instance of an application module is returned to the pool in "managed state" mode, the pool tracks session references to the application module.
The application module instance is still in the pool and available for use, but it would prefer to be used by the same session that was using it the last time because maintaining this so-called "session affinity" improves performance.

5. So, at any one moment in time, the instances of application modules in the pool are logically partitioned into three groups, reflecting their state:
    -  Unconditionally available for use
    -  Available for use, but referenced for session affinity reuse by an active user session
    -  Unavailable, as it's currently in use.

6. Basically speaking, Oracle ADF application works with two pools
     - Application Module pool and Database Connection pool.
   Application pool allows to optimize application work on middle tier, while Database pool cares  about database  connections

The file store "WLS_DIAGNOSTICS" could not be opened

WLS_DIAGNOSTIC ERROR weblogic.store.PersistentStoreException: [Store:280073]The file store "WLS_DIAGNOSTICS" could not be opened because it contained a file with the invalid version 1. A file of version 2 was expected.

Passivation and Activation in ADF (Application Module )

1. For performance reasons, ADF keeps a pool of application modules in memory. It tries to give each session the same application module as the session used during the last request; however, this might not be possible during peak load of your application. 2. In this case, ADF saves the application modules state in a database table so the application module can be used by another session. This is called passivation . 3. When the first session needs the application module again, its state is retrieved from the database process known as activation . 4. If you have made an error in your code and depend on some variable that is not persisted correctly when your application module state is stored, you will experience mysterious errors under high load.   Enable/Disable Application Module Pooling : Right-click on your application module, choose Configurations.By default, each application module has two configurations.

Overview Editor for bc4j.xcfg

This is used to customize the configuration settings for the application pool, connection pool, and transactions. Select the Application Module, then select a configuration from the Configurations list. You can specify a Default Configuration from the dropdown to use with selected application module. Edit the name of the configuration in Details. Its having 3 tabs 1.Database and Scalability 2. Properties 3. Custom Properties Database and Scalability Tab : In Database and Scalability you can mention the JDBC data source definition for each application module. You can choose to connect to a JDBC data source or to a JDBC URL.The default connection type is the default data source. A data source is a vendor-independent encapsulation of a database server connection on the application server. 1. Data sources ( JNDI name) offer advantages over a JDBC URL connection because the data source can be tuned, reconfigured, or remapped without changing the deployed application. 2. JDB...
