Mid tier removal

I want to remove my mid tier install of Portal, BI & Forms, Reports.
It has been registered in a FARM on the sepearate Infrastructure sever Meta Repository.
Do I have to deregister it from the FARM before I use Oracle Installer to remove the software?
Im worried there will be some gotcha's if I just go ahead and remove the Portal & BI Forms Reports using the Oracle Installer.

Its version 9.0.4.0 on Solaris 10

It dies
At the same time I have an OC4J_BPEL container within my mid-tier but I cannot connect to my BPEL console and I am not certain what else I am missing
Does anybody know how to circumvent this deployment failure?

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,
Thanks for your prompt response.
Yes I was able to install irca.zip file - indeed there was java command line example in there.
And yes I have a mid-tier installed. It seems that a part was succesfull since I have an OC4J_BPEL container.
Herby the logging from the Configuration Assistants,

Configuration assistant "Oracle BPEL Process Manager Configuration Assistant" was canceled
In addition I would like to add the following:
I am able to connect to the BPEL console (localhost:80/BPELConsole) but I cannot for example deploy the LoanFlow demo - I receive the following error in the command box:
[ear] Building ear: E:\as10g101\integration\bpelpm\orabpel\system\appserve
r\oc4j\j2ee\home\applications\StarLoanUI.ear
deployStarLoanUIoc4j:
[java] Error: Unable to find Java:comp/ServerAdministrator:
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. Hopefully you are still with me and are able to shed some light on this,
Frank

Install infra tier with an existing mid tier

Hi,
I've received a request to add an infra tier to my existing OAS installation. I already got an OAS installation on a windows2003 server and for a new application we need the infra tier.
Can I install the infra tier without affecting my current mid tier installation?
Kind regards,
Wim Blom

sure, dont worry about it, just when doing it, try to unset any ORACLE_HOME environment variable as well remove it any call from PATH enviroment variable, finally not least, use a direrent location for the instalaltion path (ORACLE_HOME).
Greetings.

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 ?.
Regards,
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

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

Displaying mid-tier jbo errors when when overriding report errors method

Hi,
I have a problem with displaying mid-tier jbo errors on my jsps when I overwrite the reportErrors method.
I am using the a base action exactly the same as in the "toy store" application i.e.
protected void reportErrors(DataActionContext ctx)
LOG.info("REPORT ERRORS");
DCBindingContainer bc = ctx.getBindingContainer();
ActionErrors errors = new ActionErrors();
if ( bc == null || errors == null )
return;
ArrayList runtimeErrors = bc.getExceptionsList();
if ( runtimeErrors != null )
boolean hasJboErrors = false;
for ( int i=0; i< runtimeErrors.size(); i++ )
Throwable ex = (Throwable)runtimeErrors.get(i);
if ( ex instanceof JboException)
// These errors occur when the row is locked and being edited by another user
// This could happen when in CIS.
JboException jex = (JboException)ex;
if ("25014".equals(jex.getErrorCode()) || "26030".equals(jex.getErrorCode()) )
hasJboErrors = true;
errors.add("test", new ActionError("error.locked") );
ctx.setActionErrors( errors );
saveErrors( ctx );
if (!hasJboErrors)
super.reportErrors(ctx);
This allows me to use methods to addUserErrors etc which display correctly.
However if there is a message coming from the mid-tier (such as a mandatory column value has not been entered) or there is a general error, all i get is the error header message (i.e validation error) and a bullet point. No message is displayed.
This only happens when I use my extended method. If I return the class to extend DataForwardAction then it displays them fine.
Any ideas how to fix this?

Hi,
Does anyone know why this would not be working. It's really irritating!

After install infra and mid tier, how do I put into one Farm?

If I installed the infra , then the mid tier (all on one machine) How do I include the mid tier in the a farm that includes the infra i already installed? How do I
link the mid tiers to the infra. I can link to both , which have separate ports 1810 and 1811?
thanks!

Why Java RMI client failed to invoking a mid-tier BPEL process?

I have followed the sample code (102.InvokingProcess/rmi). I have problem invoking the same process from the mid-tier server. Here is what I got:
[java] {java.naming.provider.url=ormi://btl-larcis5:12401/orabpel, java.nam
ing.factory.initial=com.evermind.server.rmi.RMIInitialContextFactory, orabpel.pl
atform=oc4j_10g, java.naming.security.principal=admin, java.naming.security.cred
entials=welcome}
[java] java.lang.Exception: Failed to create "ejb/collaxa/system/DomainMana
gerBean" bean; exception reported is: "javax.naming.NamingException: Lookup error: javax.naming.AuthenticationException: No such domain/application: orabpel; nested exception is:
[java] javax.naming.AuthenticationException: No such domain/application: orabpel [Root exception is javax.naming.AuthenticationException: No such domain/application: orabpel]
Here is my context.properties :
orabpel.platform=oc4j_10g
java.naming.factory.initial=com.evermind.server.rmi.RMIInitialContextFactory
java.naming.provider.url=ormi://my-mid-tier:12401/orabpel
java.naming.security.principal=admin
java.naming.security.credentials=welcome
I know the problem is in the provider url. If I change the java.naming.provider.url =ormi://my-pc /orabpel then it works fine. Has anyone gotten the sample code working from a mid-tier installation? My mid-tier is on version 10.1.2.02. Port 12401 is the default port number for RMI.

I figured it out! The reason it did not work was the port number in the provider URL was wrong. It should be 12402. It toke me a little while to figure it. Should this be documented somewhere?

Cannot start dcm-daemon on mid tier

Hi,
recently I had problems on starting the dcm-daemon on mid tier. I know that starting the iasconsole should also start the dcm-daemon (and any dcm client) but for 2 days now this component fails to start. The opmnctl status shows that for quite a long period it's state is "Init" then it goes down. Any opmnctl operation that tries to deal with this component (like startproc ias-component="dcm-daemon") will hang for a long time (untill I kill the operation).
In the dcm-daemon~dcm-daemon~1 logfile the only entry I can see is:
date time Start process
Using a top, I can see that 100% of the cpu is taken by the dcm-daemon process.
All the other components seem to work fine, their status is "Alive".
Any help appreciated.

Hi,
thanks for your reply. I did what you've suggested but any dcmctl command I tried to execute would hang. No response,I always have to kill the command. There is nothing in the log files that would give me a clue what's going on.
The preliminary steps that leed to this state was to unset the "ssl-enabled" setting on the infrastructure site's opmn.xml and to run the dcmctl updateconfig (again, on the infra site). We had to do that because portal was not working with this setting.
Than we started to see that something is fishy because the ias console was very slow. When I cliked on the HTTP Server settings link (on the mid. tier) the properties page would never come up. Than I took a quick look on the output of opmnctl status and noticed that dcm-daemon was either down or in the "init" state consuming almost 100% CPU.
I created a very simple opmn.xml containing only the dcm-daemon as the soley ias-component but no success there. I replaced my httpd.conf with the httpd.conf.default thinking that something might be wrong with my httpd.conf. dcm-daemon would not start up either.
I'm not sure what other options I have.

Exact Match of Windows Fonts on Unix Mid-Tier for PDF, AFM License

Having read the many postings and Metalink articles on this issue is it sounds like I need only the AFM files on the Unix side for Oracle Reports to accurately render the real-estate on the report (for PDF) and that the actual report/fonts will be rendered on the (Windows) client side. My question is: Does it violate the license of Microsoft fonts to generate the AFM files and deploy them on the Unix mid-tier since these are only the "metric files"? If not, has anybody actually purchased the licenses to put, say the Microsoft Office font set, on a Unix Oracle Reports box? Any problems or issues if you did?
Thanks

Thanks for the response Melissa
Why did you abandon the installation on windows then?
Could you get every component working on windows prior to moving over to Linux?
If you had everything working on Windows could you please tell me what setup you had i.e. what operating system, how much RAM etc.
I know you kindly gave your number so I could call you about this but I'll have to check with my boss before calling as I notice you are calling from the US.
We are only a very small oracle software development firm (in the UK) looking to add Collaboration Suite to our Portfolio.
Thanks again

Where should I put the conc mgr mid-tier or backend ?

Hello All,
Is there any advantage to putting the conc mgrs on the mid-tier as opposed to the database tier other than saving some memory usage on the database tier ? All the work would be carried out on the database tier wouldn't it ?
thanks
Dave

Hi,
What I was really looking for was, if there is some particular advantage I could gain from putting the mgrs on the mid-tier ? The main advatange is having all the application tier files on one node which make it easier to maintain than having the application tier nodes split on both tiers. In this case, you will have to patch the application only once (not on every node where APPL_TOP is presented).
If I put the conc mgrs on the apps tier, this means that I would never need to apply patches to the backend, given that all the apps software is on the apps tier and the database software is on the database tier. If I have 2 apps tiers I could use pcp ? But since all the work is carried out on the db tier this (pcp) would be a pointless exercise right ? You cannot use PCP if you place all the application tier files on one node. If you want to have PCP, you will need to have multiple application tier nodes.
Thanks,
Hussein

No net services installed with 9iAS Rel 2 Mid Tier

After installing 9iAS Rel 2. (9.0.2.0.1) Mid Tier only, no infrastructure of Business Components, we discovered that this did not include Net Services. I realize that installing the 9iAS Infrastructure includes installation of Net Services to support the infrastructure database, however, is it possible to include the Net Service installation with only the mid tier? There is currently no local database installed on this server and only one ORACLE_HOME which supports the AS Mid Tier. Finally, if I install Net Services, should I install it in the same ORACLE_HOME as the 9iAS Mid Tier or create a second ORACLE_HOME?
