E-business suite 12.2 Techstack Configurations

OHS✓ Renders http services

✓ Startup/Shutdown/high availability managed by OPMN

✓ Configuration – managed partially by Autoconfig and partially by EM

Weblogic✓ Renders oacore , forms , forms-cw4s and other services

✓ Weblogic Managed Servers replace OC4J containers from 12.1

✓ Oacore and other applications are deployed in their respective managed servers

✓ High availability managed by weblogic node manager

✓ Addition, Deletion and Configuration changes of managed servers through EBS APIs

FORMS✓ Runs from 10.1.2 ORACLE_HOME

✓ Either in servlet or socket mode

✓ In servlet mode – serviced by weblogic managed server


12.2 Applications Configuration Management and Monitoring Tools

Pre 12.2

Autoconfig /OAM

✓ Manages complete OHS configuration✓ Manages complete OC4J configuration

In 12.2

Predominantly four tools are used to manage configuration

✓ Autoconfig/OAM✓ Weblogic Administration Console✓ Fusion Middleware Control✓ E-business suite APIs (usually perl/java code)


Technology Code Checker (ETCC for Mid Tier and DB Tier)

Middle-Tier Technology Code-level Checker (AD/TXK 7 and above)

✓ Results generated by MT ETCC checker will only be stored in the database at code level AD/TXK Delta 7 and higher

✓ Can be executed against RUN or PATCH file systems✓ Patch 17537119 to get the latest code checker

✓ Checks all the MT Oracle Homes$ ./EBSapps.env run

$ checkMTpatch.sh

Database Tier Technology Checker

✓ Been there almost since beginning of 12.2

✓ Enhanced with latest and greatest database fixes required with AD/TXK $ checkDBpatch.sh

Online Patching Progress Monitoring Tool

✓ Reports progress for an adop execution

✓ Can be executed from any node

✓ Reports WARNING, EVENT, ERROR and UNEXPECTED messages sent to the adop logging

infrastructure

✓ Messages are node specific$ adopmon

Online Patching System Validation

✓ adop validations can be done which are applicable to the current system state

✓ It can also be executed without actually running any adop phase processing.

✓ Validates system configuration

✓ Applicable to Single and Multi-Node deployments

✓ Validations executed are phase specific (prepare,cutover)

✓ If no open patching cycle exists, then runs validation for "prepare" phase.

✓ If open patching cycle exists, then runs validation for "finalize+cutover" phase.

Single Step Cloning

Previous approach

✓ Two step process to configure target run and patch file system separately (required to executed adcfgclone.pl appsTier twice on target )

New approach

✓ Simplified single step process to clone RUN and PATCH file systems with a single command and pairsfile

$ perl adcfgclone.pl appsTier dualfs=yes

✓ Used by rapid clone & addnode

✓ New command line option in Delta.7 dualfs=yes to invoke new behaviour


✓ Allows multiple EBS environments to co-exist on the same machine

✓Migration is one way only from global to local only

✓ Both global and local oracle inventories are supported from delta.7

✓Migration script to migrate from global to local inventory

$ txkMigrateInventory.pl

Oracle Inventory Support – Local and Global


✓WLS Admin Account (weblogic password)$ perl $FND_TOP/patch/115/bin/txkUpdateEBSDomain.pl -action=updateAdminPassword

✓ Datasource APPS Password$ perl txkManageDBConnectionPool.pl -options=updateDSPassword -contextfile=<Context

File path> - appspass=<APPS password> -adminpass=<WebLogic admin password>

Running txkUpdateEBSDomain.pl -action=updateAdminPassword Command Completes Successfully, But New Weblogic Password Is Not Recognized (Doc ID 2178617.1)

Automated scripts to change weblogic password and update password


Source RUN File System using /<sid>/applmgr/EBSapps.env

• $ADMIN_SCRIPTS_HOME/adstrtal.sh – To start all services on a node

• $ADMIN_SCRIPTS_HOME/adstpall.sh – To stop all services on a node

• $ADMIN_SCRIPTS_HOME/adadminsrvctl.sh start/stop – To start/stop Weblogic Admin Server

• $ADMIN_SCRIPTS_HOME/admanagedsrvctl.sh <server_name> start/stop – To start/stop Weblogic Managed Server (oacore_server1 , forms_server1)

• $ADMIN_SCRIPTS_HOME/adnodemgrctl.sh start/stop node manager
