Road map for Oracle application server

I assume Oracle will at some point merge both it's Application Server, and the acquired BEA WebLogic Server with WebLogic being the main code source. Does anyone know of such a roadmap or direction of statement that I can review (diagram or wording)?
Thanks.

Oracle after a whole bunch of acquisitions and more recently after the BEA acquisition, is now on somewhat synthesis mode for the range of products they now have. Generally they call for three tracks for products;
- strategic products:
the ones that Oracle envisions to keep and promote for long-term future needs; this period is greater than 9 years;
- continue and converge track products:
which includes those which will be continued for next 9 years (from this past summer) or so. newer versions of these products will be released and new features will be enhanced, products will be supported for next 9 yrs; but beyond 9years, the products will effectively be merged into one strategic offering.
- those which are to be discontinued/replaced by some other products;
so for example, for web 2.0 or enterprise suites/user interaction, Oracle defines WebCenter as its strategic product, instead of Oracle Portal which is on a continue and converge track now. or for application server, WebLogic Server is the strategic product. etc. whereas OAS is on continue and converge track.
about each product type/technology, Oracle has new SODs (statement of direction) which defines the products and expected support offerings. please see this link.

10.1.0.5 Patch for Oracle Application Server 10g Release 1

Hi Guys,
Does anyone know what is the patch number for 10.1.0.5 Patch for Oracle Application Server 10g Release 1?
This is a Oracle Application Server and not Oracle Database server.
I tried searching on Metalink but not able to find it.
Thanks in advance!
Avinash.

10.1.0.5 is not a version number for an OAS. It is only a version number for RDBMS.
If you are running OAS 10.1.2.x with the Identity Managmenet/SSO (OID Server), & elected to have it install the Metadata Repository database for you, this was a RDBMS release below 10.1.0.5. The OAS patch to 10.1.2.2 or 10.1.2.3 required the RDMBS be updated to 10.1.0.5 first. This is the standard 10.1.0.5 update for your platform.
use Advanced Search on Metalink
To find the OAS 10.1.2.2 or 10.1.2.3 patch set, search for Oracle Fusion Middleware Server. Release 10.1.2.2 and 10.1.2.3. Look for the decriptions like "PLACEHOLDER BUG FOR AS/DS 10.1.2.3 PATCHSET RELEASE" OR "PLACEHOLDER BUG FOR AS/DS 10G R2 PATCH SET 2 10.1.2.2"
To find the RDBMS 10.1.0.5 patch, search for RDBMS Server, Release 10.1.0.5. Look for the Description containing something like "10.1.0.5 PATCH SET FOR ORACLE DATABASE SERVER"
The patch number is different per platform, so I can't tell you the exact #s without more info (OS)

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!

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.

Road map for HRMS consultant for new oracle guy, please help

road map for Oracle HRMS consultant for new oracle guy, please help

Hi,
If you go through the Oracle sites you will come to know that HRMS Suite has various modules like Core HR, SSHR, Performance Management, Learning Management, iRecruitment, Compensation workbench, Absence Management, Payroll, Advanced Benefits etc.
You will have to start with understanding the Core HR concepts which is the base of the entire HRMS suite where you define the core structures like Organizations, Job, Position, Grade, Costing, Hierarchies, Employee data etc and which forms the base of the other modules.
Post you are done with Core HR you can start understanding the Self Service functionality and Approval Management Engine.
If you are clear with these two modules, then you can pick any other module as per your Job requirement demands.
You can do this all if you have an instance to access where you can do hands-on. In absence of which learning will be not be easy. On apps2fusion site which I have already mentioned you can view the training calendar and check for any relevant courses if you want to under go training as the quality of training is very good.
Training is not a mandate and you can learn it without training also if you have the dedication and time by understand each and every action which you are performing in application and the impact of it.
Hope it helps.
Thanks,
Sanjay

please help ,where to find server log?
Any suggestions or help from your side.
Thanks in advance.
Raju

I think you're trying to connect to a database in a diferent host than the Web Server.
This is possible in applcations, but not in applets, who only can open TCP connections to the same machine who served the page.
To do that, yo should use a Data Gateway to establish the connections (IDSServer, and so on). I think that installing Oracle's Connection Manager in the same machine than the Web, it would run.

Internal error while running forms in oracle application server 10 G

I am getting following error while running form in browser for oracle application server 10 G
"Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator, [email protected] and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.
More information about this error may be available in the server error log."
where to find the error log and how to rectify it.
Arun

and at what time does the error occur? Upon starting the form? When you browse data? When you execute a query?
Also: do you use Bean Areas in your form? How do you initialise them?
Have you compiled the form against the same version of database and PL/SQL libraries as the ones you use in the runtime environment? Have you compiled the form in Form Builder? If so, try opening the form, hit Ctrl-Shift-K twice (!), then Ctrl-S, and only then Ctrl-T.
Do you start the form from another form? If so, has this calling form been compiled against the same environment?

Oracle Application Server 10g Disaster Recovery

Hi all,
This is regarding Disaster Recovery approach for Oracle Application Server 10g. There are two environments Active (DC-PROD) and Stand-By (DR-PROD). Each environment have 2 nodes where OAS Instances are installed in both nodes and each environment has a Virtual Hostname (Virtual IP) used. The 2 nodes hostnames of DC-PROD environment differs from 2 nodes of the other environment DR-PROD.
However the Virtual Hostname is same between two environments.
The env DC-PROD is setup already and is working fine. Now we have to setup DR-PROD env for disaster Recovery purpose. DR-PROD is also setup independently from DC-PROD. Each env has seperate DB servers in RAC mode. We are using EMC SRDF replication technology to do DB replication between DC-PROD and DR-PROD environments.
There is no disk replication between Oracle Application Servers of two environments DC-PROD and DR-PROD. DC-PROD is NOT setup using Oracle AS Guard for some reasons and we are in a situation that DC-PROD should not be touched at all.
So if the Database is replicated from DC-PROD to DR-PROD servers using EMC SRDF replication technology, while bring up OAS Infra services in DR-PROD node, OC4J is failing to come up. After some workarounds, OC4J cameup but we are unable to login to OIDDAS console.
ssoServer.log shows the following: -
Mon May 30 11:01:23 IST 2011 [DEBUG] AJPRequestHandler-ApplicationServerThread-8 DatabaseConfigReadergetting partner apps configs: select site_id, site_token, site_name, home_url, success_url, logout_url, encryption_key, encryption_mask_pre, encryption_mask_post, start_date, end_date, administrator_id, administrator_info from wwsso_papp_configuration_inf_t where site_id = '06B9F06C'

oracle.security.sso.server.conf.ConfigurationException: Partner application configuration not found:06B9F06C
at oracle.security.sso.server.conf.DatabaseConfigReader.getPartnerConfiguration(DatabaseConfigReader.java:143)
Please provide us the inputs to achieve Disaster Recovery for OAS 10g without using Oracle AS Guard.
This is very urgent and your inputs are greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Mahendra.

Another point to add for the environment details. Both DC-PROD and DR-PROD environments does not have connectivity at all. Only the DB connectivity is there for doing DB replication.
EMC SRDF replication technology is a block by block replication i.e., a disk replication. Hope these details are sufficient for environment specifications.

How to configure webutil in oracle application server 10g (9.0.4)?

Patching Oracle Application Server

Hi, I'm trying to patch my Oracle Application Server that's going to be running a PeopleSoft softare installation. I've been having trouble making sure I have all the patches I need. I'm running version 10.1.3.1 of the Oracle Application Server. I downloaded the patches recommended by the PeopleSoft guides and the latest security patch supported by version 10.1.3.1. If your wondering why I'm using such an old version, it's simply because its the latest version the PeopleSoft guiddes certify as supported.
So I have these patches, and I searched on metalink for Oracle Application Server, iAS version 10.1.3.1.0 and there were no other recommended patches. However, I notices the patches I already installed weren't under the list of patches for OAS, not even when I searched under classification any. That's when I realized that the patches that PeopeSoft recommends are listed under Containers for J2EE version 10.1.3.1.0, which is why it wasn't coming up in the search. Now I thought Containers for J2EE were part of the Oracle Application Server, so why don't patches for it show up when I simply search for OAS patches? Is there any was to find all the recommended patches for all software that was installed with OAS? I feel like I may be missing important patches
One wrinkle is that I used the SOA 10.1.3.1.0 CD to install OAS, but I used the option for "J2EE Server and Web Server" without installing the SOA appllications. The only reason I did this was again because this is how the PeopleSoft install guide showed installing OAS.
Thanks

Dont worry about not install the SOA products, because you dont need them, at the end the patches will upgrade only the necesary.
You may try to dowload 10.1.3.4 patch, it include the previus patches and newers.
Regards
