Oracle application server infrastructure causing problems

I found out that in order to install OracleAS Business Intelligence and Forms, I first need to install OracleAS Infrastructure. Now I have one machine for all these tests (Windows). I have already installed the database (10g 2) and the installation went wonderfully. When I try to install OAS Infrastructure, apparently it tries to install a whole new database!
How can I get OASI it to use the existing database? (first inkling of this problem was when i was warned of a port coflict at port 1521).
By the way, the OAS installation guide is around 300 pages, I have been asked to do a quick installation to see if we will use oracle for DB AND BI...so sorry if this solution is common knowledge. Thanks!

A couple of points here:
1. If all you need is Discoverer, and do not particularly care about having public connections / Discoverer portlets, etc... then you do not need to install the BI & Forms option of the app server. You should download and install Oracle Business Intelligence from the App Server download page. This will allow you to install Discoverer in a 'standalone' mode, where it will not be associated with any infrastructure database. This Discoverer installation can then be used against any certified Oracle database (9.2 or 10.1) for both relational and OLAP reporting.
2. The infrastructure components - Identity Management (IM) and Metadata Repository (MR) - require an Oracle database, which is what you encountered when installing the BI&Forms install type. This infrastructure database is specially configured to hold an app server infrastructure metadata and comes with pre-seeded schemas. It is also licensed differently from a regular Oracle database that you would have purchased a license for. Therefore, you cannot make an existing databae to hold the infrastructure repository.
Hope this helps.
Thanks

Discoverer Plus associate with the Oracle Application Server Infrastructure

Hi Everyone,
I just install the Oracle BI (v 10.1.2.0.2) into my 2003 server so I could use the Discoverer Plus and Viewer. This is a stand alone BI installation (I guess, I have little knowledge about Discoverer plus or Oracle AS).
My question is how could I connect the Discoverer plus to my ODS database, so I could create report or view report.
and where to find the Oracle Application Server Infrastructure (or How do I know I have the Oracle Application Server Infrastructure?)
I read the Oracle BI Discoverer Configuration Guide, and it tell me to associate the Oracle BI with the Oracle Application Server Infrastructure to deploy the Discoverer. so I went to the BI Application Server Control page, the Infrastructure section, the Identity Management to configure the Internet Directory, so I could I have the public connection, but it didn't work.
Also do I real need the Oracle AS Infrastructure to make the Discoverer Plus work?
Thanks in advance

Hi Kevin,
Oracle AS Infrastructure is needed only if you are implementing SSO for Discoverer or using Public connection .
Else only Oracle AS Middle tier is sufficient to work with Discoverer Plus .
Regarding "how could I connect the Discoverer plus to my ODS database, so I could create report or view report"
You need to create the End User Layer (EUL) and then grant privilege to the EUL to users who will be creating the report .
Thanks,
Sutirtha

Oracle Application Server Infrastructure & Middle Tiers?

Hi,
Can someone explain in simple words what is meant by Oracle Application Server Infrastructure and Oracle Application Server Middle Tiers and what the difference is between them?
Thanks!

That's right.
mainly there are two major groups of components in infrastructure:
- identity management (including Single-Sign-On, Oracle Internet Directory, Oracle Certificate Authority, some security schemas, etc), and
- metadata repository (which houses data even portal in the default installation if you have one)
middle-tiers run the applications. if you have java or OC4J applications, you will run them from mid-tier; or forms and reports or Business Intelligence, or portals & wireless, all would run from a midtier. but all will use infrastructure for a security, access (SSO), directory services, etc. you can have multiple midtiers connected to the same infrastructure too.

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.

Flex on Oracle Application Server 10g - security problems

Hi,
I'm working with Flex components (swf files), I'm trying to view them in a browser and i'm facing some security problems.
The server i'm trying to run the files on is: Oracle application server 10g on Unix server.
Please help me with the server's configuration to allow running swf files on it.
In the relation of Flex, there is a file that must be on the server's root named: "crossdomain.xml". This file defines which IPs can the swf object can take/get data from. Maybe there are configurations to that file that needs to be done on the server?
Thank you,
Inbal

No. Not only it isn't certified, but it is also impossible to run forms compiled with the 11g compiler with the 10g runtime. For 11g there is a install bundle for the developer suite / application server.
cheers

Oracle Application Server running demo problem. Please help

I have installed OAS 4 on my win nt 4.0 with iexplore 4 (5 won't
work by the way) and install the demo applications, but when I
run it, it does not output anything from the Oracle database.
Is there any bug that I should know, or any cartrix that I have
to add before running the demo? Thanks for any help.

How to limit number of jbdc connexion on Oracle application server 10G R3

Hi all ,
i have deployed my application an integrated server on Oracle Application Server R3.
The problem is that i have more than 600 connexion to my Database , an this is too much!!
How can i configure this ???
Please help,
Paul

You can set the maximum number of connections on the connection pool configuration page of your datasource.
As there are some troubles with the data source when your dataabse has been down (connection is not restored), I'd suggest to set the Validate Connections option to "true"

Oracle Application Server 10g/Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g

Hi folks, This question related to migration/upgrade of Oracle Application Server infrastructure.
I see that the Oracle has come up with Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g. Is it the next release of Oracle Application Server 10g. I have the following questions. Appreciate if any one can provide answers to the following questions. Please correct me if my understanding of these oracle products is not right! Thanks
1. What is the future of Oracle Application Server?
2. Is it Oracle Fusion Middleware(OFM) 11g is the upgrade path if one need
to upgrade?
3. Is it expected that expected that customers need(if require) to move to OFM 11g?
4. Does OFM 10g comes with Oracle Application Server? If not what does
it comes with?
5. If it does not, what about customers having applications built using oracle forms and reports? Does OFG 11g
support Oracle forms and reports?
I understand that OFM 10g comes with Oracle web logic server!
Thanks in advance.
movva

To run Forms and Reports in Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g you have to use the distribution "Portal, Forms, Reports and Discoverer" in the FMW 11g software pack.
The structure of what we used to call "the application server" has changed a bit however, in the following way:
- In 11g you need to install the Javaserver WebLogic software (version 10.3.3 for the current Forms 11g version 11.1.1.3) first.
In 10g the installation of the Javaserver (OC4J) was part of the App server install.
Note that you just have to install the software, the configuration script for creating a Forms app server instance creates the WebLogic domain (comparable with the OC4J instance) for you.
- In 11g the Fusion Middleware software installation is separate from the creation of an application server instance.
This is more convenient and comparable to Oracle database and Weblogic installation.
- The Fusion Middleware Configuration script installs two parts of the product: 1. A WebLogic Domain. 2. A Fusion Middleware instance.
The first contains everything related to Java, such as the servlet configuration file (formsweb.cfg), while the latter contains everything that has less to do with the Javaserver
- No more Infrastructure server
The Infrastructure server does not exist anymore. If you want to use Single Sign On with Forms/Reports 11g you can install Identity Management 10.1.4.3 (or use Identity Management 11g, and configure separately the 10.1.4.3 Single Sign On) or keep your old 10g Infrastructure installation.
During installation you just have to specify you want to use OID and SSO and it configures out of the box.
Under normal circumstances the same licenses apply to 10g and 11g (as long as you do not use WebLogic for other purposes).

Oracle Application Server for SLES Linux error when install

error when install - the OPMN process manager failed to start.
I read opmn/logs: can't load shared library libdb.so.2...

</notification-server>
But when i log on to enterprise manager i get the following message on top of the page:
You have more than one instance of the Application Server Control application running in this cluster. This is not a recommended configuration and could lead to unexpected problems. Please stop the additional instances of Application Server Control or disable routing to these instances.
When i click on one of the instances, i get the session expired error.
what is the problem behind this?
regards,

In the doc, it states that you should only ever have one active instance of application server control running in a cluster at a time -- ASC was not designed to operate as a session sharing application, so your session state is specific to one instance. If for some reason you were directed to the ASC application on the other instance, you get errors.
You can use the OC4J admin_client.jar utility or the opmnctl command to shut down the ascontrol application in one of the instances.

Oracle Application Server problem

Dear Zedi Masters(Oracles),
I am facing a problem in my Oracle Application Server. The Installation works smoothly, but afterwards if I try to Reload the Webnode manager it gives an error saying the ORB cannot be started" and "start ORB manually" Can someone explain the problem and how to overcome it.
I have also tried "owsctl reload" from the command prompt and have got the same reply.
Thanx in anticipation.
May the Force be with you.

I get the same error message - except that it happens without
protection on the virtual directory and it continues to display
the message when I reload.
