Websphere Application Server 8.5.5.xx Tips

 This two tips really helped me out with WAS:

How do I manually disable WAS security if I am locked out of the IBM Integrated Solutions Console? - YouTube

Movistar Ecuador - No uses Movistar para una VPN PPTP

Tengo una pequeña VPN para conectacme remotamente a unas computadoras. Es algo simple que usa la funcionalidad de Windows para VPN con PPTP para conectarme. (No confundir con las VPNs para ver Netflix de otros paíces). 

En cualquier internet del Ecuador como Netlife, TVCable, Claro, etc, puedo conectarme sin ningún problema a la VPN y ver mis computadoras, pero el único que no funciona es Movistar (red de datos).

Si prendo la funcionalidad de compartir Wifi en mi telefono con Movistar (o Tuenti), e intento conectarme a mi red VPN desde una máquina con Windows. Windows simplemente se queda esperando y se desconecta. Si hago lo mismo con un dispositivo con Claro, u otro internet, todo funciona bien. 

Mi conclusión es que Movistar esta filtrando algún puerto o protocolo cuando te da internet por la red de datos. 

¿Pero que me dice el soporte de Movistar?

- Primero me ningunean por ser una línea prepago

 

- Luego me dicen que no es su problema. 

Adicionalmente su soporte por Twitter demora mucho lo que hace que pierdas la sesión y tengas que empezar todo de nuevo. Demoran hasta 10 minutos en responder y una ya se distrae con otras cosas.

Mi pregunta es: ¿Vale la pena el esfuerzo para una línea prepago? ¿Es mejor cambiarse a otro operadora en vez de estar aguantando al soporte donde tienes que abrir mil veces el mismo caso, explicar lo mismo y aguantar el tiempo que te hacen esperar, porque si no te cierran la sesión?

IBM Business Automation Workflow Performance Links

IBM shared with me some links of performance on IBM BAW
I'm currently using 20.0.2

Websphere Application Server 8.5 -

https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/was-nd/8.5.5?topic=performance-tuning-application-serving-environment

Websphere has it's own tuning tool:

https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/websphere-application-server-performance-tuning-toolkit

BAW tuning:

https://github.com/stephan-volz/database-scripts - we have tuning tips for DB2 and Oracle but not MSSQL.

The first PDF is DB2

2nd is for Oracle

https://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/sg248216.html

I believe this was the last redbook published on performance tuning and BPM

Fighting with IBM Filenet Process Designer on Java Stand Alone

 This are the important links a "Note to Self".

Configuring IBM Business Automation Workflow to use the stand-alone IBM FileNet Process Designer

FileNet Process Designer changes for Filenet 5.5.6 and up

 IBM did it again. 

"From V5.5.6 and later, the Content Platform Engine tools, including FileNet Process Designer, are no longer installed by the Content Platform Engine server installation. The installer for FileNet Process Designer is now available as part of the Content Platform Engine Tools package, which you can download from Passport Advantage. The instructions for installing FileNet Process Designer are included in the package."

Installing FileNet Process Designer

https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/filenet-p8-platform/5.5.x?topic=tasks-installing-filenet-process-designer

If you have 5.5.6 or later, you have to ignore this instructions and check the PDF inside the  "IFCPETLS_5.5.*_ML.zip" file. 

This is also a message that tell us that we need to "Promote" the IBM Case Solutions to the BAW Cases, and get rid of the "FileNet Process Designer" java app stuff as soon as possible.
