Things to Remember

=======================

$ipconfig ( unix command to see the IPAddress of Host Machine )

$service network restart ( unix command to see the IP Addr of Host Machine )

$env | grep -i forms [[ At root directory in Apps user , this command gives
complete url of ur application ]]

$f60gen ( apps Utility ) ( converts .fmb to .fmx) .fmx to .fmb ??

ADMIN SERVER ( apps)

===============

it is only for Upgradation purpose, it contains files containing Metadata (like

.ldt files) .drv( driver files etc

--> note:: .ldt files contain metadata, By using SQL we can Enable .ldt files.

Discoverer Server (apps)---> its Optional

===========================

You have to enable it by applying some patches, it is used to customize the

reports

NOTE:: APPL_TOP contains all the 197 products in its file system.

--> IMP Note ::

==============
In a Typical Multi Node Installation, we have form & Admin server on One Node.

Report, Concurrent and Database in One NOde, and also we can have multiple Forms
server for Load balancing.

But, Remember FileSystem ( APPL_TOP) should be there on each and every node.

Because APPL_TOP should be present on each node, In Genpact we have DBTier

APPL_TOP & APPS_TIER Appl_top on both DBtier
and APPS Tier

DOubt--> How do we know which server( forms,db,concurrrent server etc)is on which

node.
======

Doubt--> While Installation which server to be installed on which Node. i,e how do
we know which server to be installed
========
on which node.

===> Installation log files r stored in 2 types a) DB logfiles & b) APPS log files
a) DB log files are stored in $ORACLE_HOME/appsutil/<context name>

b) APPLication Log files are stored in $APPL_TOP/admin/<context name>/log

--> For production APps installatio 60 gb space is required.

--> For Vision (demo) 80 Gb space is Required.

--> For Dump or Stage --> 18 Gb is required.

------> When u install 11.5.9 all the 197 products gets installed, but if u want to
enable specified products, u can

enable only specified products. eg u can enable 2,3, 4 products depending

on requirements.

oraInst.loc
==============

--> For getting info about fresh installation go to /etc/oraInst.loc , There u'll
find one path
/oraInventory/<context>XMl/Inventory.xml in Inventory.xml u'll find user info
i,e who is DB user name,

what is apps user name, ask sysadmin about pwds

---->(Apps) In $<SID>_ora/iAS/Apache/modplsql/cfg/wdbsvr.app (OR)

$IAS_ORACLE_HOME/Apache/modplsql/cfg/wdbsvrapp

in wdbsvr.app file, ur apps pwd is hardcoded.

---->(Apps) In <IAS_O_H>/apache/Apache/conf/httpd.conf ( WE can find Apache port

no. )

----->sql/apps===>select release_name from fnd_product_groups; (here u'll get

release no. of ur Application)

DOUBT==> the above table and v$tables etc can be accessed as Apps or system users
only ??
=====

DB
----> thru v$instance we can find Dbversion and dbname ( u can find it using any
user)

---> Note: v$ tables can be accessed by any use, but some fnd tables can be
accessed by only Apps.
===========

APPS---> TO know apache port no. go to the following location.

$IAS_ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Apache/conf/httpd.conf ( in httpd.conf u'll have apache

port no. )

APps ---> $env |grep -i appl ( run this at unix prompt, it will show the locations
containing appl or appl_top

APPS--> apperp@schd004# env |grep -i forms ( will give URL of front end and
locations containing forms item

IF PORT POOL =0 ( the following db and apache port comes automatically for port
pool 0)

DB port = 1521
Apache port or Apps tier port = 8000

IF PORT POOL = 1 ( the following db and apache port comes automatically for port
pool 1)

DB port = 1522
Apache port or Apps tier port = 8001

and so on ......

APPS--> What is the significance of runninf .env files

=========
Sol:: If u run the .env files , environment variables are set or sourced. Eg.
APPL_TOP,COMN_TOP, ORACLE_HOME etc
-------

So that u can easily go to their locations.

APPS--> where are the .env files are located.

========

for DBTier .env files are stored in $ORACLE_HOME/ <conttext_name>.env ie

<sid_hostname>.env

for AppsTier .env files are stored in $APPL_TOP/as <cotext_name>.env

Starting of DB and Apps services

=====================================

-->Before u start the Apps (i,e Apps services) First start the DB & before starting
Db start the Db listener.( or u can start
the DB first and then listener also) then u can Start the Apps services. using
adstrtall.sh apps/apps command

this command is located under $COMN_top/admin/scripts/<context_name> or

*APPS===> How TO CLEAR UR APPLICATION CACHE OR Apache

=====================================================

First, bring down the apache server by using "adapcctl.sh stop" which is
under APPLCSF/scripts/<context_name>

Then go to $common_top here u'll find _pages dir , remove or move -pages
directory.

then make the directory (mkdir _pages) give 777 permissions i,e chmod 777 -pages

now start apache server using "adapcctl.sh start"

NOTE :: Before 11.5.9 _pages was there in $OA_HTML/pages

ORA_TOP = IS A Combination of $IAS_ORACLE_HOME and 8.0.6 oracle home (a.k.a

$ORACLE_HOME)

$IAS_ORACLE_HOME/ Cntains Apache,Jserv directories

ie $IAS_ORACLE_HOME/Apache & $IAS_ORACLE_HOME/Jserv

and $IAS_ORACLE_HOME/Apache inturn contains again Apache and modplsql

i,e $IAS_ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Apache and $IAS_ORACLE_HOME/Apache/modplsql

$IAS_ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Apache contains conf & logs dirs

$IAS_ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Apache/conf contains httpd.conf file ( this is a Main

Apache server config file)

eg:

apps
=====>Under AD_top/bin u have various Ad Utilities like
Adpatch.adadmin,adclone,adrelink,adident etc
note :: U can run these adUtlities from any directory from Apps user, becuse it
path is set (probably by .env files)
-----

ADADMIN
=======

(main menu)

1. Generate Application File.

--> a) Relink APplication Program :: Whenever we install new product or new Tech
Stack component u need to Relink it
=========================
i,e making consistent with the existing application.

(My own Understanding of AdRelink or Relinking) --> since apps is a collection of

various modules like AR,AP,GL,INV etc i,e

Apps is a collection of different business modules which are interlinked together

to facilitate sharing of business info.

when u make some changes or appls patch to one or some of the modules they become
Inconsistent with rest of the
Apps/modueles. Inorder to make them consistent Relinking is used.

2. Maintain Application Database objects ::

======================================

3. Compile Apps Schema ==> It will try to remove invalid objects count after or
Decreases Invalid objects. generally done
=====================

After patch is applied. i,e we take invalid objects count before application of
patch and after application of patch

if invalid objects count increases, then we need to compile apps schema.

"compile Apps Schema" is done on DBTier as

ApplMgr user.Internally it calls "utlrp.sql" .U can run AdAdmin as ApplMgr user

only on DBtier.

Some companies do not allow u to "compile Apps Schema" using Adadmin, In that
case u need to run utlrp.sql which

is located under $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin. u ca run utlrp.sql as apps or sys

user. this will also compile invalid Objects

i,e removes invalid objects.

===> Select object_name,status from dba_objects where status = 'inalid';

or

===> Select count(*) from dba_objects where status = 'Invalid' ( query to find
Invalid objects count)
NOTE:: Before every DB Activity u need to check this Invalid count & After every
DB Activity u need to check this Invalid
=======

Object count. if Both are same its OK , Else Compile APPS Schema Using AdaDmin 2-
2 option or Utlrp.sql.

Note: Patching,cloning are Db Activitiees because they affect DB.

--> Adadmin log files are stored in $APPL_top/admin/<sid>/Log/<file_name>.log

--> CONTEXT EDITOR---->(it is a utility) it uses <context_name>.xml file

================== =

--> Startup nomount ( used when we are creating a new database & When we are
creating & Recreating the

control files. In These scenarious we start a DB in NoMount Stage.
