Start n Stop Application server with sequence with location

10g Application Server Startup Shutdown Scripts. If you understand 10g AS architecture which consist of Infrastructure Services (Database & Identity Management) & Middle tier Services (Portal & Wireless or BI & Forms) I am focusing on these two type of Installation & not j2ee & webcache type (which is third middle tier Installation type) in this discussion. Startup Sequence As in apps you follow order (first start database & then middle tier services in 10g AS also you follow similar sequences) Order of startup Services in 10g AS should be like –Start Database Listener – Start Database – Start Infrastructure Services – Start Middle Tier Services Shutdown Sequence – Shutdown Middle Tier Services – Shutdown Infrastructure Services – Stop Database – Stop database listener What utility I should use to startup / shutdown (Bouncing) for 10g AS ? You can use iasconsole (Browser based console listening in default port 1156) to startup shutdown services You can also use opmnctl ; command line tool (Oracle Process Management & Notification) control to startup shutdown services dcmctl utility to start/stop services is now deprecated & should not be used Lets look at scripts once again Startup Start listener as - lsnrctl start [listener_name] Start Database as - sqlplus "/as sysdba"; SQL> startup Start Infrastructure Services as - opmnctl startall (Make sure your are in Infra Home like /oracle/apps/infra/opmn/bin) Start Middle Tier Services as - opmnctl startall (Make sure your are in Middle Tier Home like "/oracle/apps/midtier/opmn/bin") Shutdown Stop Middle Tier Services as - opmnctl stopall (Make sure your are in Middle Tier Home) Stop Infrastructure Services as - opmnctl stopall (Make sure your are in Infra Home) Stop Database as - sqlplus "/as sysdba"; SQL> shutdown immediate Stop listener as - lsnrctl stop [listener_name] How to start/stop iasconsole ? As I mentioned above you can start/stop services using iasconsole but before that you have to start / stop iasconsole itself which you can do by emctl (em - enterprise manager) the location is for infrastructure  /oracle/apps/infra/bin for midtier         /oracle/apps/midtier/bin emctl start iasconsole emctl stop iasconsole To Start AS Console in 10g Rel3 (10.1.3) and higher use opmnctl startproc application=ascontrol opmnctl stopproc application=ascontrol You can access ias console screen from browser by url http://host.domain:em_port/emd (Default em port is 1156) http://host.domain:1156/emd (This will prompt username password , use ias_admin) http://host.domain:http_port/em (In iAS10g R3 and higher) How to start individual component ? Step mentioned above are to stop/start all components in Middle Tier or Infrastructure Tier , what if I want to start/stop/restart only few components of a Tier ? You will use opmnctl [startproc stopproc restartproc] ias-component=[component_name] or opmnctl [startproc stopproc restartproc] process-type=[process_name] Where Component Name like - OC4J, OID, HTTP_Server, WebCache and Process Type like - WebCacheAdmin, OC4J_Portal, OC4J_Security
