Start/Stop OC4J outside of OS group

Due to circumstances beyond my control (management) our development server has become our production server. We are running 9iAS 1.0.2.2.1. I have multiple OC4J instances running. Some are actually used for production, some are still in development mode.
We have consultants needing to start and stop their development OC4J instances throughout the day. I don't want them hitting production instances and shutting things down.
Does anyone know of a way to let them start and stop their instances without them being in the OS group that owns the software?

Hi Stanley,
In order to shutdown an OC4J instance, I use the following command:
java -jar admin.jar ormi://<host>:<port> admin <password> -shutdown
In order to execute that command, I only need to have read access
to the file "admin.jar" and access to the directory in which
it is located.
By the way, how come your "consultants" couldn't tell you that?
I hope I have given you a satisfactory answer -- and if I haven't,
then I apologize for wasting your time.
Just for the record, I am using OC4J version 9.0.2.0.0 on Solaris 7
with JDK 1.3.1 -- is there some reason why you are still using
an old version?
Good Luck,
Avi.

Is there a way to Start and Stop OC4J through Services

Currently we are starting and stopping OC4J manually through the Dos command prompt on our servers. We are interested in making it a Services where we can start and stop OC4J thourgh the services option on the control panel in windows. Any suggestions would be greatly appriciated.
Thanks!
Chad

This has been discussed several times in this forum. One of the thread is
How can I set the export path in Form Builder 6i?
yes, you can use Windows Resource Kit or some third party freeware to do so.

How to Starting and Stopping OC4J Server using Ant

How to Starting and Stopping OC4J Server using Ant
In the ant task definitions for ant-oracle-classes.jar (see antlib.xml) there are two tasks called
     name="restartServer" classname="oracle.ant.taskdefs.deploy.JSR88StartServer"
     name="shutdownServer" classname="oracle.ant.taskdefs.deploy.JSR88ShutdownServer"
I thought that these would shutdown and start the OC4J server. I guessed the parameters as – (Does anyone know where 50 ant targets are documented?)
<oracle:restartServer
userid="${oc4j.admin.user}"
     password="${oc4j.admin.password}"
     deployeruri="${deployer.uri}"
/>
<oracle:shutdownServer
     userid="${oc4j.admin.user}"
     password="${oc4j.admin.password}"
     deployeruri="${deployer.uri}"
/>
This, however does not start and stop the SOA suite. To do that I've hacked this solution together -
<path id="oc4j.console">
     <pathelement location="${oracle.home}/config"/>
     <pathelement location="${oracle.home}/jlib/startupconsole.jar"/>
     <pathelement location="${oracle.home}/opmn/lib/optic.jar"/>
     <pathelement location="${oracle.home}/lib/xmlparserv2.jar"/>
</path>
<target name="stop" description="stop oc4j server" depends="init">
     <java classname="oracle.appserver.startupconsole.view.Runner">
          <classpath refid="oc4j.console"/>
          <sysproperty key="ORACLE_HOME" path="${oracle.home}"/>
          <arg value="stop"/>
     </java>
</target>
<target name="start" description="restart oc4j server" depends="init">
     <java classname="oracle.appserver.startupconsole.view.Runner">
          <classpath refid="oc4j.console"/>
          <sysproperty key="ORACLE_HOME" path="${oracle.home}"/>
          <arg value="start"/>
     </java>
</target>
This sort of works – except when the SOA suite doesn't stop cleanly – and needs user interaction to press a Close button. This isn't very useful when doing a continous integration build and deploy.
So, does anyone have any suggestions or alternative methods to do this?

Actually if the server throws exceptions when it stops (which it always has since we applied patch 10.1.3.3) this technique will pause until a user responds to pop-up ... So a better way (I think) is -
<target name="start" description="start oc4j server" depends="init">
<java classname="oracle.appserver.startupconsole.view.Runner">
<classpath refid="oc4j.console"/>
<sysproperty key="ORACLE_HOME" path="${oracle.home}"/>
<arg value="start"/>
</java>
</target>
<target name="stop" description="stop oc4j server" depends="init">
<echo message="We expect OC4J *NOT* to stop cleanly, so we will timeout after 3 minutes ..."/>
<java classname="oracle.appserver.startupconsole.view.Runner" fork="true" timeout="180000">
<classpath refid="oc4j.console"/>
<sysproperty key="ORACLE_HOME" path="${oracle.home}"/>
<arg value="stop"/>
</java>
</target>
<target name="restart" description="restart oc4j server">
<antcall target="stop"/>

<waitfor maxwait="2" maxwaitunit="minute">
<not><http url="http://${oc4j.http.hostname}:${oc4j.http.port}"/></not>
</waitfor>
<antcall target="start"/>
</target>

Windows Server 2008 - Group policy for domain client to start/stop services installed on it

Hello Experts
I am a newbie to windows server administration , though did a Google , but ended up with these question with my requirements
I have created a new domain and 2 client/computer (A & B namely) to domain . Now A & B has tomcat server running with port 8080 , 9090 which i have installed
domain ADMIN account .
&& now i am want to start/stop/restart services enabled for domain users !! How do i achieve this !!
basic question : How can i access A & B tomcat services on DOMAIN CONTROLLER server to create a GPO and that are on (A & B)
what is the easiest way to achieve the same , (if not using GPO)???
similarly I am looking for many features : where I want to control the permission to user on (A & B ) like : If the binaries of tomcat is available on machine say : A , if the user can install (now
it ask for ADMIN credentials)
Thanks
Mike~Ed

Controlling services with Group Policy is done under Computer Configuration\Policies\Windows Settings\Security Settings\System Services.
The limitation is that system services can only see the services the computer running the Group Policy management console. To access other services, you will either need to create the services on your computer (install the software the adds the service)
or install the remote server administration toolkit (RSAT) on the computer with the service already on it.

Traffic light icon (start/stop preconfigured OC4J) in JDeveloper 10.1.3.3

Searched the forums and couldn't find this previously posted. I installed the base J2EE Edition of JDeveloper 10.1.3.3 on Solaris and had the start/stop preconfigured OC4J (Traffic light) icons on the menu. When I installed the Windows Install J2EE Edition of JDeveloper 10.1.3.3 on a Windows 2000 machine and started up JDeveloper, the icons are not displayed in the icon menu. Does anyone know the reason for this?
thanks,
rick

Don't know how to delete this post, so I will just reply to it. You can disregard this post. I inadvertently downloaded the J2EE version vice the Studio version. Sorry and thanks! rick

Privileges to Start/Stop OAS

Anyone know the proper privileges to set to allow a Grid user to Start/Stop OAS instances. I've create a role that gives target privs to a group that contains all the OAS instances and given that role operator privs to that target group. I then set preferred credentials to the OAS user and Os password that OAS runs as on Linux. When attempting to stop and OC4J instance within OAS (home specifically), I get "You do not have the privileges perform this operation". I wanted to create a role that would only allow our developers to start/stop the development instances OAS, but there doesn't seem to be any docs on what privs are required for what actions. Thanks.

Seems to be a bug. If I assign the OAS targets with Operator privileges to a user, it works, but if I assign those same OAS targets to a group and I assign that group to a user with Operator privileges, it fails with the "you do not have the privileges perform this operation" error, even though the group contains the same targets. I've put in a TAR.

Mail service on start/stop of services ...

Hi,
Please let me know the way to send mail when services are started/stopped in oracle application 11.5.10.2. How to configure this on ibm aix 5.3.
Thanks,
Sai Ram

There is a way to configure emails on startup/shutdown of Concurrent Manager service - but I'm not aware about any such configuration around other services (eg. Apache, Apps Listener, Forms Server etc..)
I think you'll have to do this outside Oracle's scripts if you wish to set this up - either by wrapping the calls to seeded scripts in your own custom script, or if you want a periodical probing, then via use of cron/scheduler depending on the OS you're on.
Hope that helps.
Regards,
Rakesh
PS : In addition to the Concurrent Managers, I think you should be also able to achieve this for database services if you wish to do that - by use of startup and shutdown database triggers.

How start, stop and access BAM?

Hi,
I have installed BAM and now I do not know how to start and stop the application. Also I am not able to access to the home page.
I installed BAM by double clicking the setup.exe file. After following all the installation steps, a new folder has been created in my C drive (C:\OracleBAM). Inside that folder, there is another one called ClientForBAM. Should I have other folder besides the client? Inside the ClientForBAM there are lots of folders.
In the Windows Start menu I have a new group called Oracle_ClientForBAM32100. From there, I can access to:
- Configuration and Migration Tools
- Desarrollo de Aplicaciones (sql plus)
- Herramientas de Configuracion y de Migracion (Net manager)
- Herramientas de Gestion Integradas (Wallet Manager)
- Oracle Instalation Products
So, there is no menu option to start, stop or access to BAM. I've read documentation about this and saw that the home url was: http://simge-eai-dev:8081/oraclebam (my host is simge-eai-dev, and my port 8081) But when I type that url in my browser I get the following error:
Error HTTP 404 - No se encontró el archivo o directorio. (file or directory not found)
Servicios de Internet Information Server (IIS)
I looked at the logs and I found this in the sqlnet.log
Fatal NI connect error 12514, connecting to:
DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=simge-eai-dev)(PORT=1521))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVER=DEDICATED)(SERVICE_NAME=SIMGE)(CID=(PROGRAM=C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\bin\nmupm.exe)(HOST=SIMGE-EAI-DEV)(USER=SYSTEM))))
This in the operf10.log
2/18/2008 15:2:27 UPI_CONNECT failure: error 28000 Hostname SOASUITE Username SYSTEM =(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=BEQ)(PROGRAM=oracle10)(ARGV0=oracle10orcl)(ARGS='(DESCRIPTION=(LOCAL=YES)(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=beq)))')))(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=ORCL)))
Can anybody help me with this? How can I know if the BAM is running or not?
Thanks in advance,
Zaloa

Finally I found out what was happening.
Only the client was installed because in order to install the whole thing, it is necessary to execute the setup file twice.
The first time, the client is installed and the second time, the server.

Zaloa

Is root required to start/stop/restart mysql?

I'm trying to have all users in the mysql be able to start/stop/restart mysql. I'm currently getting permission denied for the /var/lib/mysql folder even though I'm logged in as a user that is a member of the mysql group (and mysql is the owner of the directory)
Is what I am trying to achieve possible?
I'm not sure if this is related but I am also unable to start mysql from rc.d on bootup, but once I am logged in I can use the root user to start it up.
Thank you!

/etc/rc.d/mysqld wrote:/usr/bin/mysqld_safe --user=mysql &>/dev/null &
Doesn't mysqld get started as mysql user by default?
Did you modify any of mysql's configuration files while trying to do this? I imagine that would cause troubles for you.
Post anything else you think is relevant, too.

Starting/Stopping 9iAS Infrastructures with batch files

I created the following two batch files to start and stop my iAS Infrastructure. I found that if I used the services settings of automatic, all did not go well.
start.bat:
@ECHO OFF
cls
ECHO About to start the listener
net start Oracle9ias_InfraTNSListener
ECHO About to start the database
net start OracleServiceIASDB

ECHO About to stop the listener
net stop Oracle9ias_InfraTNSListener
When I execute the batch files sometimes they work and sometimes they don't, for example after starting, occasionally the Apache process has not been created, and sometimes processes won't stop.
However if I enter each command seperatly all works OK. Can anyone suggest a reason for this, maybe ordering is significant or a time delay may be required between certain actions?. Also after starting the website manager the process managers for both the infra and ias instances are started (I have installed both the iAS and the Infrastucture on the same machine - this all works fine when started as a series of individual commands but not when through batch files).
Also If I try to use:
SQLPLUS /NOLOG
SQL>CONNECT sys/password@iasdb as sysdba
SQL>Start
I also get an 'unable to create a dedicated server' error. I can start/stop the database through the enterprise manager in either standalone or management server configuration without any errors. Can anyone shed any light on this?. I have set both TNS_ADMIN and ORACLE_SID correctly.

Thanks, I had read that and it was very informative. I did however solve my problem using a few other threads that have been posted about the runtime.runtime().exec commands. Thanks for you help.
