Fate of Oracle Application Server? Is it going to be obsolete?

Hi all,
What is the fate of Oracle Application Server? Is Oracle going to dump or obsolete it ? Or it will coexist along with WebLogic?
Many thanks.
Omer

Oracle Application Server is a suit of products which includes Oracle HTTP Server, Web Cache, Discoverer, Forms & Reports, Portal, SOA, OiD etc. In the FMW11g release, the Java container (OC4J) has been replaced by the WebLogic engine. I would not say Oracle Application Server is obsoleted :-)
Thanks,

  • Patching Oracle Application Server

    Hi, I'm trying to patch my Oracle Application Server that's going to be running a PeopleSoft softare installation. I've been having trouble making sure I have all the patches I need. I'm running version 10.1.3.1 of the Oracle Application Server. I downloaded the patches recommended by the PeopleSoft guides and the latest security patch supported by version 10.1.3.1. If your wondering why I'm using such an old version, it's simply because its the latest version the PeopleSoft guiddes certify as supported.
    So I have these patches, and I searched on metalink for Oracle Application Server, iAS version 10.1.3.1.0 and there were no other recommended patches. However, I notices the patches I already installed weren't under the list of patches for OAS, not even when I searched under classification any. That's when I realized that the patches that PeopeSoft recommends are listed under Containers for J2EE version 10.1.3.1.0, which is why it wasn't coming up in the search. Now I thought Containers for J2EE were part of the Oracle Application Server, so why don't patches for it show up when I simply search for OAS patches? Is there any was to find all the recommended patches for all software that was installed with OAS? I feel like I may be missing important patches
    One wrinkle is that I used the SOA 10.1.3.1.0 CD to install OAS, but I used the option for "J2EE Server and Web Server" without installing the SOA appllications. The only reason I did this was again because this is how the PeopleSoft install guide showed installing OAS.
    Thanks

    Dont worry about not install the SOA products, because you dont need them, at the end the patches will upgrade only the necesary.
    You may try to dowload 10.1.3.4 patch, it include the previus patches and newers.

    I'm going to guess and say that you are using Developer Suite based on your reference to port 8889. Assuming this is true, did you start OC4J? If so, a DOS window will open - do NOT close this window as it will terminate OC4J.
    Also, what happens if you open a browser and enter the Forms URL directly?

  • Error in Bpel console of oracle application server 10.1.3

    Hi everyone,
    I am using oracle application server 10.1.3.
    I am having an issue in BPEL console of server.the issue is...
    After few instances the BPEL process state is going to OFF mode even though I m trying to change its state it is not changing.
    How to resolve this issue?
    what is the reason behind this issue?
    Thanks in advance!!!
    Sarala

    Hi,
    If your bpel process is changing to an OFF state, it means that there is an error.
    For example, if you poll a file from a directory, and the file has a bad format, it might change to OFF.
    Look at the log files and find out what is the error.

    Hi,
    Now I'm just thinking with U because error 500 can be result of different reasons. I think (I'm not sure)at this situation it has to do with java version.
    AIX 5.3 has java version 1.4.2. .
    Would U like to go $ORACLE_HOME\jdk\jre\bin\ then just type ./java -full version or java version.
    Which result U 'll get.
    also type in which java
    moreover can U give me the output of the env command.
    the last step before U start any as process just do the following
    ps -ef | grep (owner of your as)
    if U 'll find any process just kill it kill -15 process id if it does not help then hard kill with -9
    try to set your environement variable well then start your opmn components again per-process to see which process is going wrong.
    Let me know,
    Regards

  • Form is not submitting through Oracle Application Server

  • Starting Oracle Application Server as a particular user under windows

    Hi All,
    I am wondering if there is any way of starting the Oracle Application Server with a users default operating system environment variables set.
    The reason I ask this, is that we have deployed a webapp which contains a piece of software which needs to be run on the command line for generating reports using the reports 6i client (rwcli60). We have had issues with this in regards to the application not finding a proper service under Oracle Application Server.
    Our company then had to revert going back to a Apache/Tomcat setting and deploying the same web app on the tomcat server. Originally we were getting the same error. As a consequence we decided to change the user who runs tomcat as the same user who runs the oracle reports 6i server. This worked.
    Also of note is that when this was done, the tomcat server has ALL the environment settings as the os user. This can easily be seen by using the Runtime.exec("cmd /c set") command and printing its outputs. However executing the same command withan Oracle App Server results in a dramatically reduced environment to the logged in user who started the app server.
    Any help would be most helpful.
    Cheers
    Rodney

    Hi All,
    From much research and experimenting to get this to work I looked at the java.lang.Runtime class and noticed that seperate processes can be started using this very important Java class.
    The first thing that I experimented with was in regards to seeing the environment OC4J runs against. Using the java.lang.Runtime class I executed a standard "cmd /c set" command in my Windows environment, and noticed that Oracle Application Server uses its own environment and not a standard windows login environment for its OC4J containers. Apache Tomcat on the other hand uses the standard user login environment.
    So to get the application to be able to work properly we needed to override the particular environment the process needed to be able to get it to work. There is a exec command which allows you to override completely the environment for a process you would like to run. This method call does not in any way shape or form change the standard OC4J environment. This was done by executing the same "set" but with the overriden environment. Note that no environment variables from the OC4J container are carried into this new environment.
    Cheers

  • Security Evaluation of Oracle Application Server

    Are there any published documents on security evaluation of Oracle Application Server?
    Is it secure as a tool against some attacks, for example, are following vulnerabilities when applicable to the server dealt with or should be handled by application? :
    failure to restrict url access,
    broken authentication and session management
    insecure cryptographic storage,
    injection flaws
    failure to restrict directory browsing
    Are there available document that we can refer to on these issues?

    Thank you again.
    Can you advise on this part of my message also?
    "Also I see in oracle recommended architectures that there is a firewall between each http server and application server. Does the built in OHS in OAS provide the firewall? or I need to install another firewall?"
    I am going to explain it but I think it is completely inconsistent with the thread title which I got some of my answers in, so let me start a new thread here:

  • What is diff between oracle application server and weblogic server?

    what is the exact difference between oracle application server and weblogic application server?

    The difference between Oracle Application Server AND WebLogic Server has been discussed in a lot of forums dated 2008 and earlier comparing OAS10g with WebLogic10.0/WebLogic9.2
    But, now since Oracle has taken over WebLogic, this is not really important.
    Now, OAS has no further releases post 10g. WebLogic Server will be the Oracle's strategic application server going forward.
    So, if your query is for choosing one of them for a new environment, you are better of with WebLogic Server 10.3.6 OR WebLogic Server 12g
    As we will not have further releases of OAS and also OAS10g will be end of life soon, we recommend Oracle WebLogic Server.
    If you still want to know the differences, here is one such old oracle documentation link that talks about it
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B10467_16/migrate.904/b10425/asmwl02.htm

  • Oracle Application Server administration certification info

    Hi guys,
    Since Oracle is is now promoting Web Logic Server I am wondering if its still worth following the Oracle Application Server 10g Administration certification (OCA and OCP)? What are the future plans of Oracle for Oracle Application Server?
    Many thanks.

    Ok.. great.. Weblogic is in for sure.. but what is the fate of Oracle Application Sever ? Are they gonna coexist? or Application sever gonna be obsolete in future?

  • Invoke external application thru oracle application server 904

    Hi all,
    We are trying to invoke an external exe (WordAPI.exe) through Oracle Application Server 9.0.4 installed on Windows 2003/XP
    This exe reads the text file and fills the data in specific word document and sends the same to the printer. The data is filled in the document w.r.t. the bookmarks added in it.
    The problem is windows task manager shows both processes WordAPI.exe and winword.exe started but it does not send anything for printing.
    The same is happening when we try to invoke notepad.exe or wordpad.exe
    The feature when executed in Jdeveloper gives perfect results.
    Also we tried using same feature in another app server and there also we got required results.
    If anyone has come across any such problem and was successful in getting it thru, please suggest.
    Thanks in advance

    Hello,
    we have a similar effect, when start winword from FORMS / ORA_FFI and I can see the winword-process in windows-taskmanager ( Server 2003 ), but nothing is going on,
    the application hangs.
    Did You solve your problem ? what's wrong ?
    Does it work in another enviroment ?
    thanks

  • Need help about Oracle Application Server Terms

    Is Oracle Application Server called Weblogic Server?
    What is the difference between it and the HTML_DB or Application Express? are they the same? Can all run JSP? and what other supported languages?
    I am just little bit confused about those terms(Middleware, Application Server, HTTP Server, HTML_DB, Application Express, Oracle Fusion)
    Would appreciate if someone can explain them briefly with examples for getting more clear.
    Thanks.

    The name of this forum is "Installation." What does your question have to do with installation?
    Information on Oracle's strategy for replacing the 10g App Server code line with the BEA WebLogic code can be found by going to http://otn.oracle.com and searching for information on Middleware Strategy.
    This forum is not an appropriate place to answer your other questions either: Use google.

  • I/PM ERP Integration with Oracle Application Server instead of Websphere

    I'm just starting an integration between IPM 7.7.1 and JDE EnterpriseOne v8.12.
    In the EIS documentation for 7.7.1 has some specific assumptions regarding integrations with JDE EnterpriseOne (8.12), specifically using IBM Websphere. We opted to go with the Oracle Portal and Oracle Application Server. Just curious if the integration approach/instructions would require some adjustments because of the non-Websphere selection my JDE team chose. Or if it just plan won't work.
    Jim

    Hi Jim,
    The reason that the documentation specifically spells out IBM Websphere is most likely because it was the application server that we developed and tested with at the time. The important requirement for this type of integration is that this server be an Intel based server running a Microsoft OS. The reason for this is because there are dlls with the Oracle IPM product that enable communication between the IPM functions and the JDE Business functions. If the Enterprise server for JDE is intel based then a JAS can exist on the same server, the dlls can be on that machine and the extra server is not required. This server is only required if the Enterprise server is not intel based. As far as your choice to use Oracle Application Server goes, I really have no basis to say if this works or not. My thought is that it shouldn't matter as long as the JAS server is an intel based, 32 bit server running a Microsoft OS. There are many other variables and lots of experience implementing this type of integration with JDE within the Oracle IPM consulting team. Give us a call if we can help.
    Hope this helps,
    Matt
