One Oracle Application Server and multiple OC4J Instances

While we are getting new server (for development) we have to set-up a Development and Production enviroment for our project (dont have previous OAS installation) but on the same machine.
So, is a good option to have One OAS INstallation (Ora Home) and then create multiple OC4J instances, one for each environment (Development, QA and Production)?, is it possible? How to manage deployments between OC4J instances, simulating different contexts if they are in the same server and under the same HTTP Server? Will be there conflicts?

Hi,
you can do this and OracleAs will manage the different instances. The deployment can be done with Enterprise Manager in which case you select the OC4J instance first before deploying. If deploying from JDeveloper, you can specify the OC4J instance when creating the named connection

  • 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

  • What is difference between Oracle Application Server and OC4J

    Thanks in advance

    OC4J is only the Oracle Container for Java, using a inner HTTP Server.
    Oracle Application Server, the components depend of the installation type.
    Components
    1. OC4J : Oracle container for Java ... without inner HTTP Server, this component use Apache to presentation tier.
    2. OC4J_SECURITY (SSO) : Single SingOn
    3. Forms and Report Server, Wireless ....
    4. Apache : Presentation Tier (use .so or .dll) for OC4J
    All the components of this suite are controlled by the OPMN (This component is installed in the OC4J).
    OPMN : Oracle Process Manager to control all the components.

  • Hardware Sizing for Oracle Application Server and MapViewer

    Hi all,
    I need to develop an application using Oracle Application Server 10g and MapViewer. The applicaction will, basically, do thematic maps based on a search criteria. The estimative is that we will have 25 users simultaneously using it.
    I´d like to have an idea about the hardware to support it.
    Do you know where I can get this information?
    Any documentation can help.
    Regards,
    Luis Augusto

    Hi Luis,
    It may depend on your database size, but I think at least you need to meet the minimum requirements for the Application Server. You can find additional documentation for the AS at http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/ias/index.html.
    However I would suggest some extra memory, and if possible the better CPU that you can get. MapViewer will render the spatial features on the server side, and depending on your database size and number of features returned from the queries, this extra memory will help.

  • Oracle HTTP server with multiples apex instances

    It is possible to have an Oracle HTTP server installed in a diferente machine,
    and apex Installed on databases there are in diferent machines?
    Or it would be necessary to install one HTTP server for each APEX instance?
    For instance:
    Machine 3
    ___________DATABASE A
    Machine 1 Machine 2 /
    WEB BROWSER -----------> HTTP SERVER /
    \ Machine 4
    \___________DATABASE B

    Yes, you can define multiple DADs - pointing to different machines/APEX instances - in one OHS instance.
    See http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21764_01/web.1111/e10144/under_mods.htm#i1055269 (for instance, just Google)

    Hi,
    You can use: startManagedWebLogic.sh, it is in your domain directory and you have to execute it in this way
    ./startManagedWebLogic.sh managedServerName http://adminServerHost:adminServerPort
    For instance, in my case I use:
    unixserv01:/webportal/domains/appServerWeb/bin>startManagedWebLogic.sh managedServ01 http://pelma3w3per01.mesaperu.next:7001
    You have to run it on the machine where the managed server was installed.

  • Oracle Application Server 10g Cloning - Urgent

    Hello All,
    I have been given a new assignment which involves Oracle Applications server 10g, i am new to oracle application server and hoping that some one will please clarify my doubts.
    i have to clone a production machine (Solaris 10) which has oracle AS 10g, this machine had oracle database 10g before and just the application server was installed on it, i have to clone a test environment for this machine, i have the following two doubts
    1) Is it possible to just install Oracle Application server 10g on a machine which already contains oracle 10g database, if so then what about the database that gets installed when installing Oracle application server 10g.
    2) How to clone the above production machine, should the oracle 10g database be cloned first and then oracle application server 10g cloned on the new machine?
    Eagerly waiting for a reply

    2) How to clone the above production machine, should the oracle 10g database be cloned first and then oracle application server 10g cloned on the new machine?1) Yes, it is possible. The DB that comes with OAS as the infrastructure DB for it (I presume you are installing a full OAS with infrastructure and midtier both) does not affect the DB you already have on your system ... obviously ... as long as you install them in their separate homes.
    2) I always say, this term cloning is somewhat loosely used in general communication meaning making copies. In OAS context, Cloning works for middletiers only. You cannot clone an infrastructure.
    To make a redundant/alternate environment for OAS, you can do the following:
    - a) either use the same infra on machine 1, and install another midtier and register with the same infra.
    - b) or install a separate infra on machine 2, and also a midtier registered with it.
    Here for the first option a), Cloning can be used because you can (*only*) clone a middle-tier. There are pros and cons for this setup, including that you share the SSO, and OID, and hence users and groups bases, etc on those two environments - something that you may or may not want. But then there are also some way-outs to avoid them or minimize their effects too. Please see the following reference for cloning and search on Metalink for how to minimize effects, once you get better familiar with the processes.
    Oracle® Application Server Administrator's Guide
    10g Release 2 (10.1.2)

    [10 Cloning Application Server Middle-Tier Instances|http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_19/core.1012/b13995/cloning.htm#BCGBDIDF]
    For b), you will need to Stage a server as defined in this reference.
    [11 Staging a Test Environment from a Production Environment|http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_19/core.1012/b13995/prodtest.htm]
    There are some notes on Metalink which address issues about benefits or procedures of Cloning and Staging an environment too.
    There are some other ways to export/transport your applications to another instance across DB. Please also read about them.
    hope that helps!

  • Oracle Application Server On Linux Problem

    Our client's application server has been live for 6 months now and currently there is an issue.
    This server is a Dell 6850 running Red Hat Linux ES 3.4 (Taroon Update 5) and kernel 2.4.21-32 with 2 CPUs and 8Gb of ram. Our J2EE web application runs in Oracle Application Server and currently 5 OC4Js are up and running.
    The issue we are facing is the server has frequently gone to a hang state. When this happened, we won't be able to telnet into the server but there are ping responses. So the only thing to do then would be to reboot the server.
    Now I have setup nmon for linux to run 24 hours in the server taking snap shots of the server's performance every 10 minutes. From the nmon output, I could see free memory is always around 20Mb - 50 Mb and sometimes would shoot up to 1Gb and then in 3 hours back down to 20Mb - 50Mb. Is this a normal pattern for a linux server?
    From the Oracle console under memory usage, I saw that around 1.5Gb is being used by the Application Server, 36Mb free and 6.5Gb used by other processes. Now, I am curious as what this other processes are and why are they using 6.5Gb.
    I am not sure if this is caused by a faulty hardware, OS/kernel bug, or our web application.
    What I have done:
    i) monitor /var/log/messages but no suspicious error being logged not even before or during the server hang.
    ii) monitor Oracle Application Sever log files but no suspicious errors logged.
    iii) monitor nmon output daily
    iv) searched for similar cases using Google and Oracle's Metalink but found nothing.
    Thanks.

    As a followup ---
    We believe that we have found the culprit finally based on two lucky catches during lockups. Last seven days we have been testing various combinations of centennial agent and enterprise agent running and have successfully tracked issue down to these two products not wanting to run together.
    We have 32 machines with centennial running and no emctl and there has been no issues for last 18 months. The machines we have had problem with are the ones that use enterprise agent also. We disabled centennial agent on 8 machines and left it running on 6 machines that had emctl agent. We were still experiencing failures on the 6 machines but no failures on 8 machines.
    We turned off centennial software on the remaining 6 and have had no lockups since. Based on this we are concluding that "emctl agent" and "centennial agent" dont play well together and so plan to discontinue using both of these together on any machines.
    Did not reseach exactly why these two were causing a system panic but since these are production and vital we will live with workaround.

    Moreover our web cache is not configured in SSL during the time of installation.Can any body suggest me a place from where i could get one demo Certificate to put it onto my web server and test the SSL confiration.EBS has provided one demo for application tier(inside $ORACLE_HOME/apache/certs/).
    But we will have to implement in web cahe tier not in application tier.

    OK, you can find the software here:
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/ias/htdocs/101310.html
    (Choose CD1 for the your platform from "Oracle SOA Suite 10g" row)
    Here is the installation guide for Linux that will walk you through the steps to install:
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B31017_01/linux.1013/install/toc.htm
    If you are only looking to install Oracle Application Server and not the SOA Suite or Web Center Suite, you still use the above software but choose "Integrated Web Server and OC4J Middle Tier":

  • Start Oracle Application Server in Debug mode

    We have oracle application server 10g with oc4j. How do we configure App server to start in debug mode so remote debugging from different machine can be done.
    I am new Oracle Application Sever. OC4j is java container and it starts automatical when ORacleAServer starts.
    Thanks,
    MS

    MadanShah, how did you start Oracle Application server? Let us say, you start it with opmnctl. In order to do java remote debugging with the oc4j process inside the OAS, you have to add the java remote debugging option to the "java-options" in the $ORACLE_HOME/opmn/config/opmn.xml.
    <ias-component id="OC4J">
    <process-type id="home" module-id="OC4J" status="enabled">
    <module-data>
    <category id="start-parameters">
    <data id="java-options" value="-Xdebug -Xnoagent -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=5050 -Xrs -server -Djava.security.policy=$ORACLE_HOME/j2ee/home/config/java2.policy -Djava.awt.headless=true"/>
    </category>
    The "-Xdebug -Xnoagent -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=5050" is what I added. After starting OAS, you can connect to the oc4j process by selecting port 5050 using a java remote debugger that is included in any major IDE, like Jdeveloper. For more information, search for "remote debug" in the online help of Jdeveloper.

  • Embedded License Resource Kit for Oracle Application Server 10g

    Hi,
    I work for a company and we are an Oracle partner. We would like to deliver our flagship product with Oracle Database and Application Server (10g) embedded.
    According to an Oracle press release back in october 2003, Embedded License Resource Kits for Oracle Database and Oracle Application Server are available through the Oracle Partner Network (http://www.oracle.com/corporate/press/2484668.html)
    I found a kit for Oracle Database through OPN but was not able to find one for Oracle Application Server 10g.
    Does such a kit still exist for Oracle Application Server, and if yes where can I download it?

    Go to MyOracleSupport/Metalink.
    Click patches and Updates on the top left bar. Download the patches.
    Each patch comes with its readme.txt. Do read it. It shows you how to install the patch. it also gives syntax with example for various scenarios of how to install it, or remove a patch either. In most of the patches, Installing a patch again does not hurt your system.
    It's a good practice to keep db inventory clean before attempting to install the patch because otherwise the patch installation will fail.
    hope that helps!
