Application server

Start/Stop 10g AS

0g AS architecture consist of
infrastructure Services (Database & Identity Management)
&
Middle tier Services (Portal & Wireless or BI & Forms)
[j2ee & webcache type (which is third middle tier Installation type)]

Startup Sequence

--Start Database Listener
-- Start Database
-- Start Infrastructure Services
-- Start Middle Tier Services

Shutdown Sequence
-- Shutdown Middle Tier Services
-- Shutdown Infrastructure Services
-- Stop Database
-- Stop database listener

What utility I should use to startup / shutdown (Bouncing) for 10g AS ?
You can use iasconsole (Browser based console listening in default port 1156) to startup shutdown services
You can also use opmnctl ; command line tool (Oracle Process Management & Notification) control to startup shutdown services

dcmctl utility to start/stop services is now deprecated & should not be used

Startup
Start listener as - lsnrctl start [listener_name]
Start Database as - sqlplus ""/as sysdba""; SQL> startup
Start Infrastructure Services as - opmnctl startall (Make sure your are in Infra Home)
Start Middle Tier Services as - opmnctl startall (Make sure your are in Middle Tier Home)

Shutdown
Stop Middle Tier Services as - opmnctl stopall (Make sure your are in Middle Tier Home)
Stop Infrastructure Services as - opmnctl stopall (Make sure your are in Infra Home)
Stop Database as - sqlplus ""/as sysdba""; SQL> shutdown immediate
Stop listener as - lsnrctl stop [listener_name]

How to start/stop iasconsole ?
you can start/stop services using iasconsole but before that you have to start / stop iasconsole itself which you can do by emctl (em - enterprise manager)

emctl start iasconsole
emctl stop iasconsole

You can access ias console screen from browser by url
http://host.domain:em_port/emd (Default em port is 1156)
http://host.domain:1156/emd (This will prompt username password , use ias_admin)

How to start individual component ?
Step mentioned above are to stop/start all components in Middle Tier or Infrastructure Tier , what if I want to start/stop/restart only few components of a Tier ? You will use

opmnctl [startproc stopproc restartproc] ias-component=[component_name]
or
opmnctl [startproc stopproc restartproc] process-type=[process_name]

Where Component Name like - OC4J, OID, HTTP_Server, WebCache and
Process Type like - WebCacheAdmin, OC4J_Portal, OC4J_Security


How to start / stop webcache ?
To start/stop webcache with 10g AS, use
opmnctl startproc/stopproc ias-component=WebCache
For standalone J2ee & Webcache Installation use
webcachectl start/stop

How to troubleshoot Webcache Issues ?
Webcache logs are at $ORACLE_HOME/logs event_logs & access_log , all issues errors are recorded in event_logs so check this file any issues related to Webcache

OID
If you don't know which ports your OID is using refer
portlist.ini in $ORACLE_HOME/install (Note that this file will not list updated port if you change OID ports after Installation)
You should an entry like
Oracle Internet Directory port = 389
Oracle Internet Directory (SSL) port = 636


How to start OID ?
OID process is controlled by opmn (Oracle process monitor & notification server) so you by default use opmnctl command
To Start OID opmnctl startproc ias-component=OID
To Stop OID opmnctl stopproc ias-component=OID

OID can also be started without OPMN by
First start oidmon (OID Monitor Process)
Then use oidctl (OID control)
To stop OID without OPMN
First stop oid process using oidctl then stop oidmon (OID monitoring process)

When you start services using opmnctl , it inturn start oidmon & oidctl


SSO login URL
User can login to E-Business Suite Locally (NO SSO, directly from FND_USER) or to SSO (authentication via SSO) or BOTH. Set profile option "Applications SSO Login Types" to LOCAL or BOTH at userlevel and use
http(s)://(hostname).(domainname):(port)/ OA_HTML/ AppsLocalLogin.jsp
For SSO authentication use URL
http(s)://(hostname).(domainname):(port)/oa_servlets/AppsLogin

10g as version:
/d01/oradev/OraHomeAS/config
"$ grep -i version ias.properties
Version=10.1.2.2.0


Discoverer values setup in context file
1. Check the following are set

Run autoconfig.

Check the following profile options

ICX: Discoverer Launcher http://discovererhostname.domainname:7778/discoverer/plus?Connect=[APPS_SECURE]
ICX: Discoverer Parameters ICX: Discoverer Release 10
ICX: Discoverer Viewer Launcher http://discovererhostname.domainname:7778/discoverer/viewer?Connect=[APPS_SECURE]
ICX: Discoverer use Viewer Yes


To check current Oracle Application Server Patchset version i.e. if 10.1.3.0 or 10.1.3.1 or 10.1.3.2
a) Using runInstaller
–Invoke runInstaller from 1013_ORACLE_HOME/oui/bin
–Click on Installed Products.
–Select the 10.1.3 Oracle Home and expand the tree. You should see Oracle Application Server Patchset 10.1.3.X patch in the list.

b) Using Opatch
Run the command ‘opatch lsinventory -detail‘
Look for ‘Oracle Application Server PatchSet‘ in the ‘Product‘ column.


OC4JADMIN password.
If your source oracle home version is 10.1.3.0 then password for oc4jadmin is secret else (for 10.1.3.1/2/3) password is oafm

To know 10g discoverer version
To get the existing version name of Discoverer Server on Unix, go to $ORACLE_HOME/bin and run the command:
strings -a dis51ws | grep ""Discoverer Version:""
Otherwise you can start Discoverer Plus/Viewer and check the version.


To unlock ias_admina nd orcladmin a/c ---> 280116.1
Just go to the directory

$ORACLE_HOME/sysman/j2ee/conf. In this directory you'll find the configuration file

jazn-data.xml. Inside this configuration file you'll find the definition of the

ias_admin user including his encrypted password:

* snippet from jazn-data.xml

...

ias_admin
{903}YdvTMA...


Inside the tag you see the encrypted password of the ias_admin. To reset the password, just change the value inside the tag as follows:

snippet from jazn-data.xml

...

ias_admin
!mynewpassword1


The new password you have to provide in clear text has to start with a ""!"". Be aware that the new password must match the password rules: minimum 6 signs and one sign must be a number. After your changes, stop the ASC and restart it with following commands:

* emctl stop iasconsole
* emctl start iasconsole

Now you can login with your new password and inside the jazn-data.xml the provided
password in clear text is automatically changed into an encrypted password.

Rotating oc4j and opmn log on SOA nodes

The below changes has to be made in opmn.xml file.

a. The below tag has to be added as a part of the start-parameters category id for ias component SOA_GROUP and for process type OC4J_SOA.
( In our case we can find it at line
data id=""oc4j-options"" value=""-out /d11/oraias/prodias/10.1.3/opmn/logs/mylog.out -err /oracle/101202J2EE/opmn/logs/mylog.err"" />

b.Change the line
log path=""$ORACLE_HOME/opmn/logs/opmn.log"" comp=""internal;ons;pm""
rotation-size=""1500000"" to
log path=""$ORACLE_HOME/opmn/logs/opmn.log"" comp=""internal;ons;pm""
rotation-hour=""0""

2. opmnctl stopall
3. backup of the log files.
4. opmnctl startall
