How to manage Hot backup Or Manage Disaster Recovery in CQ

November 7, 2012

- Yogesh Upadhyay

There are various approach, I am listing them with pros and cons

Approach 1: Use clustering, but direct the requests only to one node. In case of problems with this node just switch over to the other node. Essentially this is an active-passive scenario.

+ proven technology, documented and fully supported feature

+ automatic fail over easily possible

- additional license cost

- Latency issue might effect performance

- Managing cluster is sometime difficult

CQ5.5: javax.jcr.RepositoryException: Unable to register data store in cluster

- David McMahon

Issue

If you are installing and starting a new CQ instance you may experience the following exception:

*ERROR* [FelixStartLevel] org.apache.jackrabbit.core.RepositoryImpl failed to start Repository: Unable to register data store in cluster. javax.jcr.RepositoryException: Unable to register data store in cluster. … Caused by: java.net.UnknownHostException: <server_hostname>: <server_hostname> at java.net.InetAddress.getLocalHost(InetAddress.java:1360) at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.connectToAddress(PlainSocketImpl.java:211) at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.connect(PlainSocketImpl.java:200) at java.net.SocksSocketImpl.connect(SocksSocketImpl.java:366) at java.net.Socket.connect(Socket.java:529) at java.net.Socket.connect(Socket.java:478) at java.net.Socket.<init>(Socket.java:375) at java.net.Socket.<init>(Socket.java:218)

CQ5.5: MCM emails contain URLs to author instead of publish

October 15, 2012

- David McMahon

Issue

If you are using the Newsletter feature in MCM to send emails to lists of contacts you may notice that the URLs for assets in the email are pointing to the author instance, rather than the publish instance.  The links to the author instance will not work for external users, so the assets in the email will not show up.

CQ5.5 SP1: MalformedPathException: ‘:redirect’ is not a valid path. Prefix must not be empty

September 20, 2012

- David McMahon

Issue

If you have updated to CQ5.5 Update 1 and you attempt to access a user profile page, for example the admin profile, as follows:

http://<server>:<port>/home/users/a/admin/profile.form.html/content/geometrixx/en/toolbar/profiles/edit

or

http://<server>:<port>/home/users/a/admin/profile.form.html/content/geometrixx/en/toolbar/profiles/view

you will see the following exception in the error.log:

*ERROR* GET /home/users/a/admin/profile.form.html/content/geometrixx/en/toolbar/profiles/edit HTTP/1.1] com.day.cq.wcm.core.impl.WCMDebugFilter Exception:  org.apache.sling.api.scripting.ScriptEvaluationException:

    at org.apache.sling.scripting.core.impl.DefaultSlingScript.call(DefaultSlingScript.java:385)

…

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: javax.jcr.RepositoryException: Failed to resolve path :redirect relative to node /home/users/a/admin/profile

…

Caused by: org.apache.jackrabbit.spi.commons.conversion.MalformedPathException: ‘:redirect’ is not a valid path. Prefix must not be empty

Reason

This issue is caused by a regression in the 2.1 version of Sling which has been integrated with CQ5.5 SP1: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-2518

The issue does not occur with the 2.0.10 version of Sling included with CQ5.5.

Solution

This issue will be resolved in the next release of CQ5.5 SP2.

CQ5.5: Invalid links to DAM assets containing spaces in the file-name

September 10, 2012

- David McMahon

Issue

If you are using the CQ5.5 authoring environment to add links to DAM assets through the rich-text editor dialog by drag-and-drop, then you may notice that some of these links will be marked invalid after clicking OK on the dialog.

A invalid link appears like the “banking” text below, whereas a valid link appears like the “investors” text.

You may also see errors similar to the following in the error.log:

*ERROR* [0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1 [1344244721052] GET /libs/wcm/core/content/pageinfo.json HTTP/1.1] com.day.cq.wcm.core.impl.servlets.PageInfoServlet Request path does not resolve to a resource: /content/dam/geometrixx/documents/GeoSphere_D%20a%20tasheet.pdf

Reason

The links are marked invalid when the assets in DAM contain spaces in the file-name (e.g. GeoSphere_D a tasheet.pdf).  Such file-names are being parsed by a URL encoder and the spaces get converted to the %20 code at the wrong place.

“Concurrent users” and performance tests

September 1, 2012

-- Jörg Hoh

A few years ago when I was still working in application management of a large website we often had the case, that the system was reported to be slow. Whenever we looked into the system with our tooling we did not found anything useful, and we weren’t able to explain this slowness. We had logs which confirmed the slowness, but no apparent reason for it. Sadly the definition of performance metrics was just … well, forgotten. (I once saw the performance requirement section in the huge functional specification doc: 3 sentences vs 200 pages of other requirements.)

It was a pretty large system and rumors reported, that it was some of the biggest installations of this application. So we approached the vendor and asked how many parallel users are supported on the system. Their standard answer “30″ (btw: that’s still the number on their website, although they have rewritten the software from scratch since then) wasn’t that satisfying, because they didn’t provide any way to actually measure this value on the production system.

The situation improved then a bit, got worse again, improved, … and so on. We had some escalations in the meantime and also ran over months in task force mode to fight this and other performance problems. Until I finally got mad, because we weren’t able to actually measure the how the system was used. Then I started to define the meaning of “concurrent users” for myself: “2 users are considered concurrent users, when for each one a request is logged in the same timeframe of 15 minutes”. I wrote a small perl script, which ran through the web server logs and calculated these numbers for me. As a result I had 4 numbers of concurrent users per hour. By far not exact, but reasonable to an extent, that we had some numbers.

Creating MBeans for your CQ5 application

August 25, 2012

-- Jörg Hoh

JMX is the de-facto standard for monitoring java processes and applications. A lot of monitoring systems have the ability to consume these data.

By default CQ 5.5 has a number of MBeans, which offer runtime information about internal state. Most interesting ones are the MBeans about the repository state and the replication MBeans. But it isn’t hard to create your own MBeans, so you provide information about the internal state of your application to the monitoring system; or you can monitor resources which are critical to your application and use case.

In Cq5 we are working in a OSGI environment, so we will use one of my favorite patterns, the OSGI whiteboard pattern. We will use the JMX-Whiteboard bundle of the Apache Aries project to register services to JMX. Also that implementation is very short and understandable and shows the power of the whiteboard pattern. (I already had a short blog entry on this last year.)

In this example I want to demonstrate it on an already existing counter, the total number of requests handled by sling.It requires CQ 5.5, where the JMX whiteboard bundle is already deployed by default; but if you install the JMX Whiteboard bundle yourself, you can also use older versions of CQ5.
