Grid control 10.2.0.5 upgrade and application server shutdown

Current: 10.2.0.3, doing upgrade to 10.2.0.5
OS: Redhat 4
During the installer checks, Oracle is telling me the oracle application server will be shut down temporarily. What oracle application server? I did not know one gets installed when you install grid control. I thought that it just uses the http_server.
What is it shutting down? I stopped the oms with opmnctl stopall, prior to running the installer. I believe that was in the readme.txt

when you click on the tab "Application Servers" on the far upper left site of the GridControl (right next to Hosts, Databases, ...) then
you will see of which components the Oracle Application server exists (HTTP-server, OC4J, WebCache, ...). Therefore the HTTP-server is just
part of the application server - and if the application server gets shut down it's meant that all components wil get shut down...

Which? - License for OEM Grid Control or just the additional Packs and Add-Ins?

I took a look at the price list and I wanted to clarify the "Named User Plus". The Diagnostic and Tuning Packs are each shown as $100 for the named user. As a DBA, if I have a named user license for these two management packs, does this mean that I can manage as many databases as needed with these two management packs?

Wow, 25 separate dbcontrols sound like a nightmare.
By the way, our Oracle rep just happened to come here yesterday, and he validated what was said here.
You can install the Grid Control free; you simply un-check the Packs/Add-Ins during the install.
As I understand it, you would install the Grid Control Agent first on each server, then when you install Oracle RDBMS, the Universal Installer will detect the Agent and enable the Grid Control instead of the Database Control.
Then you install the OEM Grid Control repository and software on a separate server, and that is where you manage all of the Oracle RDBMS servers from.
He also said to use the highest version Grid Control Agents on the database servers and repository server and keep the versions of that software in sync, which is separate from the Oracle RDBMS version.

License for OEM Grid Control or just the additional Packs and Add-Ins?

I have searched the forums and found the link below in a discussion about the Enterprise Manager Grid Control, but nobody answered this question specifically:
Can you freely install and use the Grid Control (with no additional Packs or Add-Ins)? Or does the Grid Control itself require a license?
P.S. The price list linked here only displays prices for Grid Control Packs and Add-Ins:

Release Date of EM Grid Control 10.2 for HP-UX and Solaris?

Hello,
does anybody know the estimated release date of EM Grid Control 10.2 for HP-UX and Solaris?
Regards,
Martin

We are also very curious about that here. If anyone has any information or estimates it would be much appreciated.
We've ran into the following problem:
Note 338123.1 After Upgrading Catalog Database to 10.2 Cannot Use RMAN Catalog With 10.1 Grid Control
And have been told we have the following options:
Workarounds available:
1. Use dbcontrol for the 10.2 database to maintain the recovery catalog until 10.2 Grid Control is available
2. Use the RMAN command line utility
3. Use the 10.2 Management Agent when available.
Which basically means we are out of luck on OEM RMAN until 10.2, and hope to hear it may be available in the near future.

Differences Between Grid Control and Application Server Console

Hi,
I have come across a situation where a customer has an OC4J container and has deplyed several applications in this container. When they access Application Server Control Console thay can stop and start these applications individually.
However, the customer cannot monitor the status/state of these applications from withing Grid Control. We can see that the OC4J container is either up or down and will be alerted for the change of status. However, if a single application within the container is down they will not be alerted.
We are using GC 10.2.0.5, iAS 10.1.2.2. Is there a way around this, or dies the Application Server Console have a little extra functionalitly in it compared to Grid Control?
Tim.

Hi,
On your grid control, create a new Notification rule and select "Web Application" from the target drop down and then select your application then in availability tab, select up and down for which you want to receive notification.

Install grid control agent 10.2.0.5 on VM Server?

Hi:
I'm using Enterprise Manager Grid Control 10.2.0.5 with the Virtual Server extensions and it is working fine. However, I've noticed that my Virtual Server machine (dom0 -- not the guests) does not show as a host on my Targets tab.
One drawback to this is that I've tried to import the templates that already exist in my Seed Pool into the Software Components tab of my Virtual Servers tab. It has an option to find a Host, but the only hosts lists are those that have Grid Control agents on them.
Is this expected behavior?
Would it be beneficial to install the Grid Control 10.2.0.5 agent on my VM Server 2.1.5 so that I can load the templates into the Software Components tab?

pasinc wrote:
Thanks. I do have all of the Templates under Resources in my Virtual Server Pool. However, none of them appear under the Software Components tab. Should they?Not necessarily.
If not, what is the difference between the two? Why don't they appear as Software Components?Software Components = stored in the Grid Control Software Library
Server Pool Resources = stored in the Server Pool's /OVS/seed_pool
So, the Software Components shows you templates that have been stored in Grid Control and these templates can be deployed to any of your server pools (you can have multiple server pools). Once this happens, you'll see the template in both locations. It's a little counter-intuitive, I admit. If you're used to VM Manager, then the Server Pool Resources is the same as what you'd see in VM Manager. Then Grid Control adds the central Software Components option as well.
Does that make sense?

How to make upgrade from application server and not from central instance?

Hello SAP Gurus!
I have SAP ECC release 6.0, and I´m gonna make upgrade to enhancement package 6.06, do you know if Can I make upgrade from application server, but not from central instance?
Thanks.

Hi Victor,
Upgrade process has to execute from the server where message server is running.
So I guess it is not possible to initiate the SAP upgrade from application server.

How to have one centeral management console for DB and Application server?

Hi
Thank you for reading my post
I read in several places that ORACLE provide facilitis that help developers to have one centeral console to manage Application server / Database and what ever oracle products.
I want to know that, when i have Oracle 10g r2 and Application server 10.1.3.1 installed, how i can use that centeral management console?
is it some other application that i should install ?
or it is just some more configuration?
thanks

What you are looking for is called Grid Control.
You will need the Grid Control Agent installed on each server that has products from Oracle's technology stack installed (database, web server, app server, etc). You will also need install the Grid Control software and repository.
You can download Grid Control from the following link:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/oem/index.html

Compatibility between Oracle Developer suit and application server

Hello
We are going to user oracle 10 to develop and deploy our application.
The tool that we were going to use are
Developer Suite 10g Release 2 (10.1.2) and
Oracle Application Server 10g Release 3 (10.1.3.2.0)
But i need to know whether this are compatible
Where can I find any documentation related to compatibilities between developer suit and application server ?
May thanks in advance

Hi Ana,
Compatible version of IAS is
10g Release 2 (10.1.2) or 10g Release 2 (10.1.2) with patch 1(10.1.2.1.0)
Also if u are using only forms and reports services there is a forms and reports standalone version is available. And hence u dont need to install infrastructre.
And this is a very compact product.
Even if you use forms 9i /developer suite 9i to develop the forms, when u compile them on IAS, it gets upgraded. There is not much diff between forms 9i and 10g

Starting and stopping 9ias Infrastructure and Application Server

I have Oracle9ias R2 Infrastucture and Application running on one machine (bad idea - I know) on Windows 2000. I had to restart the system and of course all the different instances from Infrastructure and Application Server started in the wrong order and now nothing operates at all. (It was fine yesterday - really, it was).
Could someone please give me a rough guideline on how to start these services, or instances in the right order.
Much obliged
William

Sir,
Can you help me to do the installation of 9ias rel. 2.
I installaed 9ias infrastructure on separate m/c.
But unable to do single sign-on on 9ias server side.

ARCHITECTURE OF SAP R/3 AND APPLICATION SERVER AND DATABASE SERVER IN ABAP

ARCHITECTURE OF SAP R/3 AND APPLICATION SERVER AND DATABASE SERVER IN ABAP?
PLEASE EXPLAIN

hi
Presentation Server
It is actually a program named sapgui.exe.
It usually installed in users workstation.
The interface accepts the input from the user in the form of keystrokes, mouse-clicks, and function keys, and sends these requests to the application server.
It receives and displays the result from the application server.
Application Server
An application server is a set of executables that collectively interpret the the ABAP/4 programs.
Each application server has a profile called application server profile, that specifies its characteristics when it starts up and while it is running. It specifies:
1. Number of processes and its types.
2.Amount of memory each process may use.
3. Length of time a user is inactive before being automatically logged off.
If your ABAP/4 program requests information from the database, the application server will format the request and send it to the database server
Database Server
The database server is a set of executables that accepts database requests from the application server.
These requests are passed on to the RDBMS (Relation Database Management System).
The RDBMS sends the data back to the application server.
The RDBMS may run on database servers computer or may be installed on its own computer.
The components of application server are dispatcher, dispatcher queue, work process.
All requests that come in from presentation servers are directed first to the dispatcher.
The dispatcher writes them to the dispatcher queue.
The dispatcher pulls the requests from the queue on a first-in, first-out basis.
Each request is then allocated to the first available work process.
A work process handles one request at a time.
The work process needs two memory areas, the user context and the roll area.
The user context is a memory area that contains the information about the user.
The roll area is a memory area that contains about the program execution.
User Context
User context is a memory area that contains the characteristics of a user that is logged on the R/3 system.
1)It holds, users current settings.
2. The users authorizations.
3. The names of the programs the user is currently running.
When a user logs on, the user context is allocated for that logon. When logs off, it is freed.
Roll Area 
A roll area is a memory that is allocated by a work process for an instance of a program.
It holds the information needed by R/3 about the program execution, such as: 1. The values of the variables
2. The dynamic memory allocations
3. The current program pointer.
Each time a user starts a program, a roll area is created for that instance of the program.
If two users are using the same program at the same time, two roll areas will exist-one for each user.
The roll area is freed when the program ends.
Both roll area and the user context play an important roll in dialog processing
pls reward points dor useful ans
regards

New Blog for SOA and Application server,BPEL

Hi Everyone,
I have created a New Blog for SOA and Application server and BPEL and i would like everyone to have a look at it and give me some comments on it like what is the other information i can keep which can help us all etc....
You can visit it at http://oraclefusionmiddleware.blogspot.com

Oracle Application Server consists of Oracle HTTP and OC4J servers which deploys J2EE-based applications.
Integration server manages all communication, process interactions, Data Transactions among different systems and applications. Oracle integration server consists of all the SOA elements (BPEL, ESB, Business Rules, and OWSM)
when you want to deploy Java applications then you will deploy to Application Server.When you want to deploy BPEL,ESB Process you will use integraion server(BPEL Server,ESB Server).
Integration server is just the web server which connects to application server which helps in administrating and managing different applications as a whole
