    ORACLE NAIO
    KEYWORDS
    Node
    Node is a machine or computer

    Server
    Server is a collection of one or more computer processes that perform specific function

    Tier
    Tier is a Logical grouping of one or more computer processes.

    DEVELOPMENT TECHNOLOGIES USED


    There are 3 development technologies under which Apps was developed:

     D2K
     Java
     HTML.

    ARCHITECTURE
    ORACLE apps is a 3-tier architecture. It consists of
     Desktop Tier
     Application Tier
     Database Tier.

    Desktop Tier
    Generally an end user PC doesnot consist of any servers. Rather it consists of web
    browser that makes use of HTML and JAVA applet to provide the user interface.

    Application Tier
    Also called as middle tier. It consists of number of servers. The nodes on which these
    servers run is referred as application tier server nodes.
    Servers include
     Apache (or) web server
     Form server
     Concurrent Processing server
     Administration server

    Apache server
    It listenes request from the URL and routes appropriate server.

     Configuration file is httpd.conf  IAS_ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Apache/conf


     Adapcctl.shCOMMON_TOP/admin/scripts---to start/stop/status apache server
     Ps –ef | grep Apache----To check whether Apache is running or not
     Lsof | grep <port no>---To check apache is running or not
     Lsof | grep <port no> | wc –l
     U can get the port number from httpd.conf (or) contextname.xml file.
     If any error occurs check access-logs or error-logs located in
    IAS_ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Apache/logs.
     Version of webserver is 1.0.2.2.2 form 11.5.8 to 11.5.10
     To find out version go to IAS_ORACLE_HOME/Apache/bin and http - version

    Access-Log:
    It records all users accessing oracle applications web server. This file is defined in
    httpd.conf

    Error-Log:
    In erro-log is checked to see information regarding error and its occurance. If this
    Information is not sufficient then edit httpd.conf file and change LOGLEVEL
    Value=’debug’ and bounce apache server.

    Also check Jserverlogs where its config file is


    IAS_ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Jserv/etc

    Logfile: mod_jserv.logs, jserv.logs located in


    IAS_ORACLE_HOME/Apache/jserv/logs.

    Form server:
    Whenever a user try to access forms, “f60webmx”picks up the file and based on
    this config file creates a forms session to user/client.

    Configuration fileappsweb<contextname>.cfg located in


    COMMON_TOP/html/bin

    To start and stop: adfrmctl.sh stop/start/status

    To check whether it is runnig or not: ps –ef | grep f60webmx

    Log files location: COMMON_TOP/admin/log/<context-name>/f60svm.txt

    What it checks in configuration file: it checks for 2 files


     plugin=jinitiator/java
     connect_mode=socket(default)/servlet

    Socket mode:
    When forms run in socket mode these is dedicated connection between client
    machine and form server started by adfrmctl.sh
    Servlet mode:
    When forms run in servlet mode, the forms requests are fulfilled by Jserv in
    apache. There will be additional JVM for forms request in that case and will not
    start form via adfrmctl.sh

    Forms runtime diagnostics default location is


    ORACLE_HOME/forms60/log/<context-name>

    Form server executable name: f60srvm


    To find out forms version: f60gen

    Concurrent server
    It executes tasks parallely. Concurrent manager executes concurrent requests by taking
    resources from concurrent server.

    Adcmctl.sh start/stop----- To start and stop concurrent server


    FNDLIBR---- Executable name
    Ps –ef | grep FNDLIBR---- Whether concurrent server is running or not.

    Types of concurrent managers:


    ICM: Internal concurrent manager which manages other concurrent managers.
    Standard managers: Which manages processing of requests. If no concurrent manager
    takes the process, it will handle the process.
    CRM: Conflict resolution manager resolve conflicts in case of incompatibility.

    Log files: APPLCSF/ APPLLOG.


    Outfiles: APPLCSF/APPLOUT.

    What happens exactly?


    When you run adcmctl.sh it records execution of this command in text file with name
    “adcmctl.txt” in directory $COMMON_TOP/admin/log/.
    Also adcmctl.sh calls another script “startmgr” which inturn calls “batchmgr” in
    FND_TOP/bin. This is the actual file, which fire up ICM process.

    How to troubleshoot concurrent manager?


    If any problems faced while starting CM then look for logfile of ICM located in
    $APPLCSF/APPLLOG) and format is SID-MMDD.mgr (11.5.10 apps format).

    Request Log files: l<requestid>.req


    Output files: <username>.<req.id> (or) 0<req.id>.out (or)
    <usernm>.out
    Concurrnt Manager Log: w<XXXX>.mgr
    Transaction manager log: t<XXXX>.mgr
    Conflict Resoiution manager log: c<XXXX>.mgr
    Administration Server:
    When you upgrade your application from one version to another then we use
    administration server.

    Report Server:
    Collection of sql statements (rdf files-executable is rdx)
    Configuration file: CGIcmd.dat  connect string is there with Apps passwordlocated in
    (8.0.6 home/report60/server)
    Database and database listener should be up and running.

    Discoverer Server:
    Mainly used for business Intelligence purpose. Used for analysis purpose. We can
    customize reports and so on with D2K in an appropiate way.

    Addisctl.sh start/stop
     To start and stop discoverer server.
    (Oracle_home/discwb4/util)

    Database Tier:
    It consists of database server, which stores all the application data.
    Addbctl.sh start/stop database.
    Addlnctl.sh start/stop listener.
    Located in ORACLE_HOME/appsutil/scripts/context_name

    ORACLE APPLICATION FILE SYSTEM

    Application Tier
    It consists of 3 top directories:
    <db_name>appl (or) APPL_TOP=contains the product directories and files for Oracle
    Applications.

    <db_name>comn (or) COMMON_TOP=contains directories and files used across


    products.

    <db_name>ORA (or) ORA_DIRECTORY=contains Oracle_Home’s for the Applications


    technology stack components.
    /u01/app/apgcct01

    gcct01appl gcct01comn gcct01ora

    Database Tier
    Two top-level directories store files related to the Oracle Applications database.

    <db_name>db = contains the database ORACLE_HOME

    <db_name> DATA = contains the Oracle Applications database files.

    /u01/app/orgcct01

    gcct01db gcct01data

    So,there are 3 Oracle_Home’s in Oracle Apps , two for Application tier and one in
    Database tier.

     8.0.6 directory contains the ORACLE_HOME for the Developer 6i products


    (Forms, Reports and Graphics).The product libraries in 8.0.6 Oracle_Home are
    used to relink Oracle Applications executables.
     IAS directory contains the Oracle_Home for oracle9i Application server, which
    includes the Oracle HTTP server.
     Oracle_Home on dbTier used by database software usually 8i, 9i or 10g.

    What Happens from BACK END

     When user makes a request from browser by typing URL, then the request hit to
    oracle webserver and these requests are recorded in logs.
     Webserver checks with http request there is no cookie attached (Cookie is
    message given by webserver to identify client) and hence user is new it passes
    login page to User.
     User types his Username/Password in login window and click submit button
     Webserver checks the username/password that is needs to authenticate against
    database FND_USER table, so it needs some user to check client’s username
    password in database. It uses GUEST/ORACLE user to authenticate user in
    database. This information is located in FND_TOP/secure/<context_name>.dbc
     Once user is authenticated it checks against FND_RESPONSIBILITY for
    authorization about users responsibilities and assigned responsibilities back to
    user.
     When webserver tries to connect to database for plsql or any other type of
    connection it asks IAS_ORACLE_HOME/Apache/modplsql/cfg to fulfill
    request and connection string information is stored in wdbsvr.app file.
     User submits his requests for batch processing or something else etc. These
    requests are fulfilled by concurrent managers
     When user wants to see reports of all these things request is being forwarded to
    reports server.
