Opmn.xml missing

I recently installed 11.1.2 Essbase. During install I managed to overlook Essbase and installed everything else but Essbase. After noticing the error, I installed Essbase but now it will not start. So after looking though endless logs, multiple re-installs, various re-configurations, searching on the internet and much cursing at the system, I have determined that the cursing did not really help the situation any and that my opmn.xml file along with all the files and folders that go with it are not even present. So, without the opmn.xml file I do not have Oracle Process Manager (EPM_epmsystem1) in services so therefor I cannot get Essbase started unless I do it manually. So my question is.... How do I get opmn.xml installed?
Anyone?

Davis,
You do not need opmn.xmml file for the standalone OC4J, and you can pass all the VM parameters on command line or add them in the start up batch file.
Please review this link.
Hope this helps.

Missing opmn.xml file and opmn/conf folder

I downloaded Oracle Application Server 10g, Version 10.1.3.4.0
My app says “Warning: Could not find file /Desktop/OAS/opmn/conf/opmn.xml to copy.” My opmn/conf folder is missing and I am unable to install my application that uses OAS. The zip file I downloaded, oc4j_extended_101340.zip, doesn’t have that directory either. So how do I generate it?
The readme file doesn’t say anything about it. It just says
“There are no specific tasks that need to be performed to ready the new OC4J
instance for use. The new OC4J instance can be used immediately after the unzip
operation has completed.”
So then the opmn/conf should come right out of the box, right?

First thing, if you are using standalone OC4J (the one installed by unzipping oc4j_extended_101340.zip), you will not have OPMN in there. That means $ORACLE_HOME/opmn directory (and any sub directory) will not exist. Standalone OC4J is not managed by OPMN.
But if you installed Oracle Application Server from the media using regular Oracle Installer, it is OPMN managed and all of opmn directories and files should exist. If any of the file or directory doesn't exist that would mean your installation wasn't clean. You will have look at installer logs for errors. In theory you can try by creating/copying files and opmn directories from some other clean installation but I will strongly suggest to re-install to avoid any other future potential issues.
I didn't understand the part when you say your application is complaining about missing opmn.xml. What is this application? Any custom (non-Oracle provided) application does/should not have any dependency on opmn. Can you clarify this?
Thanks

Missing opmn.xml in OC4J standalone

Hi, I just downloaded the latest standalone version of OC4J. When I unpack it, there is no opmn.xml file in the archive at all.
I need to set some JVM options, and all instructions say to use this file. Is there some other way to set java options with the standalone version?
Thx in advance,
Davis

"index.xml missing" • Do I laugh, cry, or scream?

After a variety of hardware problems with my iBook (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1523536&tstart=0), I have a new software-related problem.
Some of my Pages files are acting up on me. When I try to open said files from Finder or from inside Pages I get the "index.xml missing" message (I'm using the iWork '08 demo version I downloaded today--I can't access the multiple licensed copy of iWork on the install disk from my IT guy until tomorrow).
When I open the package contents of the problem files, sure enough--there's serious data missing. How could this have happened to some of my files by not all of them? (Hierarchy/where the files are located within my Documents folder doesn't make a difference. All the files were created by the most recent version of Pages too....)
Am I totally screwed?!? Please tell me there's some way to salvage my files.

Hello
I met this kind of behavior when I tried to use from account B a document created in account A.
As I am most often playing safety, I had a backup but I know than even if we repeat million times "computers are not perfect so, always keep backups", users will continue to miss this rule … until they loose some important data.
I don't know which kind of code removes the Index.xml.gz files so I'm not sure that a file recovery tool would be able to revive them.
You may try to use one of them but I can't guarantee the result.

Numprocs option in opmn.xml is not working for me

Hi Folks,
I wat to try numprocs=2 to create 2 JVMs and try some load runs to check the performance improvements.
When I went to server Config page in administration tab of EM. There I see the "number of VMs" input box is disable.
So I directly went to opmn.xml and changed the numprocs="2" from 1. Now when I restarted the App server, I find 2 JVMs are running which is fine.
But the issue here is that I not able to open EM when I am using numprocs=2. I am getting following error when i open my EM...
Error: Application Server Control cannot run on an OC4J instance with more than one Java Virtual Machine (JVM).
So I doubt I am doing some thing wrong. Please let me know what is the issue..
1. Why the number of VMs input box is disabled?
2. Why I am not able to open EM when I manualy change opmn.xml.
Please help me out as early as possible... Thanks in advance...

How do you add start parameters in opmn.xml with a command?

I'm trying to make a shell script to install an OC4J automatically. What I need to do now is adding start-parameters to the opmn.xml. Obviously, I don't want to go into the file itself and manually add the text. Is there a command to set them?? Or is there any other way around this?
I.e., I want to add -Duser.country=SE and -Duser.language=sv as below:
<process-type id="OC4J_I413" module-id="OC4J" status="enabled">
<module-data>
<category id="start-parameters">
<data id="java-options" value="-Doc4j.formauth.redirect=true
-Dhttp.session.debug=true
-Duser.country=SE
-Duser.language=sv"/>
</category>
</module-data>
</process-type>
Thanks a lot!
Kerstin

Hi again,
Solved the issue simply by editing the xml file with sed:
VAR1='OC4J_I413\/config\/java2\.policy -Djava\.awt\.headless\=true -Dhttp\.webdir\.enable\=false -XX\:MaxPermSize\=128M -Xms512M -Xmx1024M -XX\:AppendRatio\=3\"\/\>'
VAR2='OC4J_I413\/config\/java2\.policy -Djava\.awt\.headless\=true -Dhttp\.webdir\.enable\=false -XX\:MaxPermSize\=256M -Xms512M -Xmx1024M -XX\:AppendRatio\=3 -Duser\.country\=SE -Duser\.language\=sv\"\/\>'
sed "s/$VAR1/$VAR2/" opmn.xml > Newopmn.xml; cp Newopmn.xml opmn.xml
This is a text string that contains start parameters and it can be found here:
<category id="start-parameters">
<data id="java-options" value="-server -Djava.security.policy=$ORACLE_HOME/j2ee/OC4J_I413/config/java2.policy -Djava.awt.headless=true -Dhttp.webdir.enable=false -XX:MaxPermSize=128M -Xms512M -Xmx1024M -XX:AppendRatio=3"/>

Essbase install for 11.1.2.0 does not create opmn.xml

We are currently doing a test install of EPM 11.1.2.0 and are having a specific problem. Foundation services are all installed and running fine but the Essbase install seems to not create the necessary opmn files so we can't start it. No opmn.xml is created in
user_projects/epmsystem1/config/OPMN/opmn
in fact nothing at all is created in there and so opmnctl complains that it can't find opmn.xml.
OPMN is running and controls OHS without problems. We also noticed that the Essbase configuration creates an empty opmnctl.bat script in the scripts directory. This is not a permissions issue, we are running the installer as admin. We have tried configuring Essbase in a cluster and not in a cluster with the same problem.

Yes, it is 2008 R2 and I know it's not officially supported yet. We're just running it to get some information for when we install if for real with 11.1.2.1 comes out ... I think it might be related to the fact that Essbase can't contact the Foundation services db or something like this - the installer logs seem to suggest that it aborts before getting to the opmn creation phase. I need to check the logs in more detail. Here is what is in the leasemanager_essbase_<hostname>.log which is written when running the configuration of Essbase:
[2011-02-14T12:22:14.101-11:22] ESSBASE / Info (1320009)
Attempt to connect to database failed with error [[DataDirect][ODBC Oracle Wire Protocol driver][Oracle]TNS-12514: TNS:listener could not resolve SERVICE_NAME given in connect descriptor].
[2011-02-14T12:22:14.554-11:22] ESSBASE / Error (1320010)
Database operation failed with error [[DataDirect][ODBC Oracle Wire Protocol driver]String data code page conversion failed. Error in parameter 1.].
It seems that Essbase tries to get an OPMN lease by writing to the Shared Services repository using the ODBC driver and this fails with the above errors. It then shuts down and doesn't get as far as writing the opmn.xml file.

OPMN.XML - strange caracters after lauching the Iasconsole

Hello all,
Something very strange started to happen and I cant see why :(
When I launch the IAs console the file opmn.xml is changed by the application and some strange caracters show up in the file.
example: caracters like "â" "m":
<data id="java-options" value="-server -Xms128M -Xmx1024M âXX:MaxPermSize=128m
Djava.security.policy=/u01/app/oracle/product/ias_10.1.2/j2ee/OC4J_TEST/config/java2.policy -Djava.awt.headless=true"/>
Because of the strange caracters I cannot launch the opmn and I get the following error when executing the
opmnctl startall:
ERROR:
In line 1 of /u01/app/oracle/product/ias_10.1.2/opmn/conf/opmn.xml:
LPX-00200: could not convert from encoding UTF-8 to ISO-8859-1
XML parse failed: error 200.
The workaround is not to start the console, edit the opmn.xml removing the strange caracters, and launch the opmn with "opmnctl startall".
If the opmn is up and I try to launch the iasconsole the console starts but the opmn goes down.
Has anyone see this? Can anyone help me out?
I appreciate your help on this one.
Tks
Thanks in advance.

This might have to do with regional settings, or "funny" keyboard settings. Do you use a localized OS (ergo: is you *nix talking english and are you using US intl. keyboards?)

Windows command length execeeded when add java options in opmn.xml

Hi All,
I have a Oracle AS 9i installed on Windows 2000. There are some requirement from my application that need to add additional java-options when start up OC4J. So, I updated the opmn.xml by add my things to <data id="java-options" > for start-parameters.
But when I start up server, I got following information in ipm.log:
06/05/16 17:18:06 create_proc: Windows command length exceeded: D:\ora9ias\jdk\bin\javaw.exe
I have tried Oracle AS 10g with the same OS and java-options, the server can start up without any problem.
Is there anyway to make Oracle AS 9i work in this situation?
Thanks for any help.

Cannot find opmn.xml

Hi
I installed Development suite (Forms Builder [32 Bit] Version 10.1.2.0.2 (Production) ) and DB (10GR2) in same machine (XP)
Issue is I can't find the opmn.xml on both paths. In Dev suite path cannot find the opmn folder as well. But in DB path opmn folder is there but no the xml
Any particular reason?
Cheers

But in DB path opmn folder is there but no the xmlOPMN is primarily to manage the application server. Useful for all versions of application server (pre-WebLogic Server) EXCEPT standalone OC4J. (Although the N part of OPMN is used in ONS ...)
For Dev Suite, there really is no need for the OPMN. The OC4J is primarily there to catch forms/reports requests and route them to the forms/reports servers (which are/were written in C, not Java). In dev, you can go straight to those servers.
For database, the only OC4J is for the DB Control. That is pretty much hardwired and standalone. So again no need for opmnctl.
I would not expect to find opmn directory nor useable opmnctl anywhere in dev or database.
I suspect what you want is a full Oracle Application Server 10.1.2.0.2 install.

so i have seen my opmn.xml file ( /prod_apps/apps/tech_st/10.1.3/opmn/conf/opmn.xml)
the file is showing these strange path
<variable id="LD_LIBRARY_PATH" value="/nfs/bld/d26/PRDXBLD9/apps/tech_st/10.1.3/lib" append="true"/>
</environment>
<process-type id="IASPT" module-id="IASPT" working-dir="/nfs/bld/d26/PRDXBLD9/apps/tech_st/10.1.3/iaspt/bin">
its showiing the path /nfs/bld/d26/PRDXBLD9
could you please clear my doubt why this file showing this strange path.

Admin_client.jar 10.1.3.1.0 and changing JVM settings for OC4J in opmn.xml

Just now briefly looked at admin_client.jar 10.1.3.1.0. It appears that there is new functionality to create/alter and interrogate (J2EE) resources in this utility. This partially answers my other question, as stated in Jython support in Oracle Application Server 10g R3 (10.1.3)
(Would be nice to get a definitive answer on scripting though)
Anyway...
As a follow-up question. Will there also be functionality (or is there already functionality) which lets me change JVM settings of OC4J components as they are declared in the opmn.xml, using only command line (and/or scripting) tools?
Thanks

Jan -- there is no out of the box command line utility that can amend the JVM settings for an OC4J instance.
As Deepak alluded to, it is possible to do this using JMX because all the OPMN configuration elements are all reachable from JMX. This means you can create whatever Java JMX client you desire to modify the settings, or use a scripting environment which provides nice support for JMX (for example Groovy with its GroovyMBean) to access and use the OpmnConfig MBean set to change the OPMN configuration values.
Asanka -- the 10.1.3.1 release has lots of capability in ASC to manage the OPMN settings from a browser -- including modifying all the JVM settings (things like heap, System properties, etc.) as well as OC4J switches (-userThreads, etc.)
cheers
