Welcome to the F5 deployment guide for Oracle JD Edwards EnterpriseOne and BIG-IP 10.2.1. This guide shows administrators how to configure the BIG-IP Local Traffic Manager (LTM) for directing traffic, ensuring application availability, improving performance and providing a flexible layer of security for JD Edwards EnterpriseOne deployments.

Why F5 The BIG-IP LTM provides high availability, load balancing, enhanced performance, simple scalability and high operational resiliency for Oracle JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Application deployments. In a JD Edwards One environment, the BIG-IP LTM provides intelligent traffic management and high availability by monitoring and managing connections to the WebLogic services. In addition, the built-in performance optimization capabilities of the LTM provide faster operations to facilitate a better end-user experience. The LTM also keeps persistence records for connections to always be directed to the same server for a specified period of time, to ensure that the workflow in the JD Edwards environment is fully preserved. For more information on Oracle JD Edwards EnterpriseOne, see http://www.oracle.com/us/products/applications/jd-edwards-enterpriseone/index.html For more information on the F5 BIG-IP LTM, see http://www.f5.com/products/big-ip/product-modules/local-traffic-manager.html To provide feedback on this deployment guide or other F5 solution documents, contact us at [email protected].

Configuring the BIG-IP LTM for HTTP traffic (no SSL offload) Use the following table for guidance on configuring the BIG-IP LTM for JD Edwards EnterpriseOne using HTTP with no SSL offload. This table contains any non-default setting you should configure as a part of this deployment. Unless otherwise specified, settings not mentioned in the table can be configured as applicable for your configuration. Give each object a unique name. We recommend using names that are prefaced by “JDE-” such as JDE-monitor. LL Tip

DEPLOYMENT GUIDE JD Edwards EnterpriseOne

Configuring optional iRules The following two iRules are optional, but can be helpful in certain scenarios.

Using an iRule to mask the root context When accessing the EnterpriseOne application, you may want to mask the root context, and provide a simpler way for users to access the application. When the user types the URI to access the EnterpriseOne application, the following BIG-IP iRule automatically appends the context root to the base URI. For example, if you type http://jdedwards.example.com, the iRule would send http://jdewards.example.com/jde/EiMenu.maf to the server. Create an iRule on the BIG-IP LTM using the following code (omitting the line numbers). 1 2 3 4 5

when HTTP_REQUEST { if {([HTTP::uri] == "/") } { HTTP::uri "/jde/E1Menu.maf" } }

Use the following procedure to add the iRule to the virtual server. To add the iRule to the virtual server 1.

On the Main tab, expand Local Traffic and then click Virtual servers.

2.

From the Virtual Server list, select the name of the virtual server you created for JD Edwards earlier in this guide.

3.

On the Menu bar, click Resources.

4.

In the iRules section, click Manage.

5.

From the Available list, select the iRule you just created and then click the Add (<<) button.

6.

Click the Finished button.

Using an iRule to persist WebLogic connections on JSessionID Most WebLogic servers keep track of a particular user session using a JSessionID as either a cookie or as a parameter appended to a URI. In some cases, you may want to persist these connections through the BIG-IP using the WebLogic JSessionID instead of the recommended Cookie persistence profile. The iRule is available on DevCentral: http://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/default.aspx/iRules/Weblogic_JSessionID_Persistence.html As mentioned in the article, you must use a Universal persistence method, enable Match Across Services, and then add the iRule to the persistence profile (and not the virtual server).
