Mid tier instance shutdown

Hi,
I need to perform some maintenance on mid tier/identity management database. Do I need to stop Oracle application server on app server tier first? I am planning to the shutdown Mid tier 10g AS, EM console and finally the database. Then startup the db, and then the mid tier components.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Procedure to top.
Stop Midtier:
emctl stop iasconsole
opmnctl stopall
Stop Infra:
emctl stop iasconsole
opmnctl stopall
sqlplus "sys/password as sysdba"
sql>shutdown immediate
sql>exit
lsnrctl stop
Start has to be the oposite.
Start Infra
lsnrctl start
sqlplus "sys/password as sysdba"
sql>startup
sql>exit
opmnctl startall
emctl start iasconsole
Start Midtier:
opmnctl startall
emctl start iasconsole
You can skipt any step of any proc that you dont use, like opmn and em from Infra, and if Infra and Midtier are in same box, try to set the environent for each to avoid any mix.
Greetings.

How to deploy across multiple mid-tier instances

I was hoping someone may be able to point me in the right direction. We have two portal/webcache mid-tier instances on release 10G AS 9.0.4.2. On the ias_admin home page I tried to create a cluster and add the two instances to a cluster but it won't let me do it for a portal type install. If that is the case, how do people handle deploying such things as portlet providers and data sources across multiple mid-tier instances? Here is the concern from our Portal admin:
As discussed, the inability to cluster the mid-tiers will cause issues in production as we try and keep deployed portlet providers with their required configurations and datasources in synch. While deploying and configuring 1-2 mid-tiers for a given portlet manually is do-able, the chance for out of synch components or configuration settings is amplified for each additional mid-tier. If we manually deploy 5 mid-tiers and accidently mistype the datasource for example, we'll have a random error that will occur once requests are attempted to be serviced by that mid-tier. This will make troubleshooting difficult. We really need some way to deploy and configure settings one time and have these items propagated to all the other mid-tiers.
What is the best way to handle this scenario?
Regards and thanks for any info,

Temporary files are held in bpel/domain/default/tmp folder, whereas jar files in the dehydration store for clustered deployment.
If you configure BPEL (not AS) cluster - files will be propagated to all nodes.

Upgrade Multiple Instances with single mid-tier

I posted this last week, but it looks like the forums had a little "issue" recently . . .
I know that I can install HTMLDB in many databases and use a single mid-tier (see
http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=18326:54:14495624057419435878::::P54_ID:481 )
With this approach, when the time comes (December, right?) I won't have multiple mid-tiers to upgrade, but I will have multiple DB tiers (where the real work happens). How will the upgrade handle this? Will the OUI be able to do it? Will I need to manually run scripts? Will it be supported?
Thanks,

Cannot install BPEL PM mid-tier flavor (2nd option) from beta3 drop

On the instance repository information screen You have to provide orabpel and mid-tier ias_admin connect information. It pre-requisites an already populated bpel schema. Although I have run the scripts domain_oracle.ddl and server_oracle.ddl the following message appears when you press next in the OUI:
Altert: The OracleAS infrastructure database has not been upgraded with the OracleAS BPEL PM 10.1.2 schema....
Subsequently I cannot continue - any idea how to circumvent this message?
Again I think I have a complete orabpel schema

Hello Frank,
we were running into the same problem, you can install the middle tier version only if you have setup up all the BPEL needed tables, views, procs in your database. With the beta3 ships a compressed file called irca.zip. It contains the IRCA ( Integration Repository Creation Assistant ). You need to run this assistant before the middle ware installation against your db. Following the db is prepared to be a repository for you BPEL middle ware.
Hope this helps.
Bye,
Chris

Error Deploying BPEL process to Mid Tier

I'm having problems deploying a jar to midtier.
When I attempt to deploy the jar of my BPEL process to a 10.1.2.0 GA mid-tier BPEL instance using the console's "deploy new process" I get the following error message.
The BPEL process works and deploys with no problems on a 10.1.2.0 GA Developer's install (same machine). I have tried deploying it both from JDev and the console after un-deploying it manually. Both of these work fine in the Developers install.
Thanks,
Craig
Deploy New BPEL Process
bpel_AddressChangeValidate_2.0.jar failed to deploy.
Error deploying BPEL archive. An error occurred while attempting to deploy the BPEL archive file "bpel_AddressChangeValidate_2.0.jar"; the exception reported is: Problem 1: [putFTP.wsdl]: null

Figured it out...
The problem was I forgot to copy the FTP connect info
into the midtier FtpAdapter oc4j-ra.xml file.
Is there an out of the box way for low level config
like this to be included in the JAR file?Nope not right now. We are working on what we can do to fix this going forwards in a later release.
>
One interesting note, I was able to "deploy" my
process by copying the JAR file directly into the
deployment folder... What is the difference between
doing this and using "deploy new process" from the
console?When going the console route, it goes through an additional deployment time validation check which you were able to bypass by copying the jar directly into the deployment folder.
You may have been hitting a bug in the validation code, otherwise you should have really seen the error message asking you to potentially fix the jndi entry in oc4j-ra.xml.

OC4J 9.0.3 Standalone and 9iAS 9.0.2 mid-tier

We are currently running Forms9i and Reports 9i services on a mid-tier installation of Oracle9iAS 9.0.2. (Solaris). We have also developed some JDeveloper 9.0.3 applications that need to be deployed onto the same server. I understand from previous discussions on both Metalink and OTN Discussion Forums that it is not possible to upgrade the OC4J components of the mid-tier installation to 9.0.3 as the Forms9i and Reports 9i services are only certified to work with 9iAS 9.0.2.
My next question is can I install Oracle9iAS Release 2 OC4J 9.0.3 standalone components into a separate ORACLE_HOME from the mid-tier 9iAS 9.0.2 in order to deploy the JDeveloper 9.0.3 applications ?.

Chris

hello,
i am not sure how you invoke report services from your java application. i assume you are using a URL to access the report. in that case your application will still be able to point back to the 902 servlet to access reports services.
regarding the use of classes on the 903 application : reports services can only access classes that are in its classpath. so if you can put the classes you need in reports' classpath defined by the environment of the 902 instance you should be able to access it.
you might also look into our Thin Client that is available here on OTN. http://otn-stage.us.oracle.com/products/reports/htdocs/getstart/examples/Tools/index.html

Not found Mid-tier

Hi
in a server (a) I have installed the infrastructure and in another server (b) it installs mid-tier, this to mid-tier in the server (b) aims at the infrastructure of the server (a), but when entrance with the OEM in the server (A) , to only shows the infrastructure me, but it does not show installed mid-tier to me in the server (b), although mid-tier I settle of satisfactory form, How I can verify that I am installed mid-tier correctly aiming at the infrastructure?
Hector ulloa Ligarius

The web-based admin user interface, called EM Application Server Control console (or iasconsole), is per instance. So both infra and mid-tier have one "OEM" each. In your case you should have something like:
http://name-A:1810/emd/console/ and http://name-B:1810/emd/console/
Try bouncing both AS Control servers:
$ emctl status iasconsole
$ emctl stop iasconsole
$ emctl start iasconsole

BPEL mid tier

I followed the "hellow" sample application for BPEL using jdeveloper 10.1.3 -- I t deploys find to the local OCJ4 instance (standalone version)
and executes find. (e.g, the BPEL process console lets me execute and it displays the test form to capture the input.
the issue is when I deploy the process to the a mid tier OC4J congiguaration environment (e.g, a different server runing the SOA suite), the test form
will not display the payload input for me to enter the string to concatenate to the hellow process. Also if I select to dispaly the xml format instetad the html format -- nothig gets display
My Stand alone SOA version is 10.1.3.3.1 -- running on windows XP service pack 2 IE 6.0
THe MIDTier version is also 10.1.3.3.1. running on windos server 2003 IE 6.0
any help will be greatly appreciated
Note - other samples in the bpel sample directory - execute just fine in the stand alone environment
ruben

I was able to test the samples (hellow, help desk request) using the ORACLE Application Service "test web services" feature under the AS admin application options.The sample webservices displayed the payload and executed correctly. The OAS is also running as part of the mid tier configuration
So I can only conclude thet either the BPEL process console did not get installed properly (even though all other features ae working properly, or there is a bug on the console
I plan re-installed the full mid -tier suite in the near future an retest - I will reply to this tread after re-inatlling the full mid tier apps
For now, I can develop and test using the stand alone JDEVELOPER config, along with the OAS test web service feature in the mid tier
PS: Thanks for you reply

Limit Database Connections From 10gAS Mid Tier

We are using 10gAS 10.1.3 and RDBMS v10.2.0.3. For one of our applications the application server midtier spawns hundreds of connections to the database and eventually grinds it to a halt.
While we are trying to get to the bottom of why this is happening, is there anyway to limit the number of connections the mid tier will spawn to the database?
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Are you using Connection Pools?
If so, look for these settings in Application Server Control (or your data-sources.xml file):
Initial size of Connection Cache
Minimum Number of Connections
Maximum Number of Connections
You should be able to find them under:
Cluster Topology -> <oc4j instance> -> Administration -> JDBC Resources
This might help.

Frank I assume you have now succesfully installed the schemas in your 10g database and went on to install BPEL on the AS midtier. I assume you have the 10.1.2 production midtier (j2ee & webcache) installed?
Please add the relevant part of the install log file.
Sandor,

The reason for that could be that I need to startup the BPEL server. But that would confuses me since the oc4j container is running and I can connect to the BPEL console. At the same time if I look in the startorabpel.bat the olite lines are still active and within data-sources.xml file the Oracle9i lines are inactive - although I have provided the Oracle10g schema during the installation.

Patching mid tier and infrastructure tiers.

Greetings!!!
I am having some questions on patches and hope someone can help me here.
We have two Oracle Application Server machines both on Windows 2003 servers 32-bit and both are on 10.1.2.0.2 release.
The first machine is hosting HTTP Server, Forms (OC4J_BI_Forms), Reports, Webcache (Application/Mid tier). Release is 10.1.2.0.2
The second machine is hosting OID+Metadata repository, Single Sign-On, HTTP Server, and OC4J_Security (Infrastructure Tier). Release is 10.1.2.0.2.
I am now applying patches to both the servers.
Here are the steps I have:
1. Apply the Patch 4505133 on the Infrastructure (10.1.0.5 Patch Set)
2. Apply the Patch 5983622 on the Mid-tier. (10.1.3 patch set)
I have already completed step (1). I patched the infrastructure database from 10.1.0.4 to 10.1.0.5.
Am I missing the other step to patch Infrastructure tier components? Should I also patch the HTTP Server and the Oracle Home on infrastructure tier? I am not talking about the infrastructure database here. I am already done with that step.
If I only patch the Mid Tier with #5983622, then won't the mid tier will be on 10.1.3 release and infrastructure components (HTTP Server, SSO) will be on the same old 10.1.2.0.2.
The primary requirement is that I need to upgrade HTTP servers on both the tiers to the same level. Can you suggest me the equivalent of patch 5983622 for infrastructure tier and the way forward? Will appreciate any answers!!! TY.

Hello,
I think u are mixing some things here.
In order to apply 5983622, u have to update database version is 10.1.0.4 to 10.1.0.5. (patch 4505133) That must be done before patching the two homes of Application Server.
Patch 5983622 is for Application Server. U have to apply it on Infrastructure Tier and on Application/Mid tier Home, in order to update Application Server from 10.1.2.2 to 10.1.2.3.
regards,
Pedro
