Oracle Traffic Director available for download

During the official announcement of Oracle WebLogic Server 12c on 1st December 2011, Oracle also announced the new Oracle Traffic Director.

Oracle Traffic Director 11g is a high-performance caching HTTP proxy server. It is designed to take advantage of the unique engineered systems features of Oracle's Exalogic computing platform, providing a highly-available, on-board load-balancing reverse proxy for Oracle Fusion Middleware and Applications

Today I saw, that the Oracle Traffic Director 11.1.1.6.0 is available for Linux x86-64 in Oracle TechNet:

asmcmd non-interactive commands in MS-DOS Batches

In the last days I was fighting with a nice behaviour of the asmcmd non-interactive mode in MS-DOS batches.

I wanted to delete several files located in ASM within a MS-DOS batch:

REM Script: asm_cleanup_DB112.cmd
set ORACLE_BASE=E:\oracle
set ORACLE_HOME=E:\oracle\product\grid-11.2.0
set ORACLE_SID=+ASM
set PATH=%ORACLE_HOME%\bin;%PATH%
asmcmd rm -f +TEMP/db112/temp_01.dbf
asmcmd rm -f +TEMP/db112/temp_02.dbf
asmcmd rm -f +REDO1/db112/redog1m1.dbf
asmcmd rm -f +REDO1/db112/redog2m1.dbf
asmcmd rm -f +REDO1/db112/redog3m1.dbf
asmcmd rm -f +REDO1/db112/redog1m2.dbf
asmcmd rm -f +REDO1/db112/redog2m2.dbf
asmcmd rm -f +REDO1/db112/redog3m2.dbf

 
As soon as I run the batch, the first file got deleted, but then the batch execution stops without continuing the next steps :-( I try to place the files into Single-Quotes, into Double-Quotes, but nothing helps, after the first asmcmd command the batch execution stops ...
This behaviour even occurs with "ls" commands and so on.
 
Oracle Metalink search = 0
Oracle Technet Forums = 1 thread with the same problem, but no answer since more then 2 years
 
After a little playing and re-thinking, I only found following solution: Build a FOR Loop in my batch.
I just created a textfile with my files which I want to delete:
 

# Content of File asm_file_list.txt
+TEMP/db112/temp_01.dbf 
+TEMP/db112/temp_02.dbf
+REDO1/db112/redog1m1.dbf
+REDO1/db112/redog2m1.dbf
+REDO1/db112/redog3m1.dbf
+REDO1/db112/redog1m2.dbf
+REDO1/db112/redog2m2.dbf
+REDO1/db112/redog3m2.dbf

 
Then I changed my batch to the FOR loop, which simple reads my above textfile with the list of my files to be delete and executed for each line the "asmcmd rm -f" command:
 

REM Script: asm_cleanup_DB112.cmd
set ORACLE_BASE=E:\oracle
set ORACLE_HOME=E:\oracle\product\grid-11.2.0
set ORACLE_SID=+ASM
set PATH=%ORACLE_HOME%\bin;%PATH%
for /f %%a in (asm_file_list.txt) do ( 
asmcmd rm -f %%a
)

Run the batch again and be happy :-)
