Administering Oracle Application Server
There are a variety of tools for managing Oracle Application Server. These include
command line tools and web based tools. All of the Oracle Application Server 10g tools
are fully integrated within the Oracle Grid Control framework. These tools can be used
to perform administrative tasks such as starting and stopping components, configuring
components, and monitoring OracleAS resources.
Starting and Stopping OracleAS
Command line tools are often used for starting and stopping OracleAS instances or
individual components. The tool that should be used depends on the intended scope of
your start or stop command. To start or stop an entire OracleAS instance, the
runstartupconsole.sh command. To start or stop individual components, the opmnctl
command should be used.
The syntax used to start and stop instances depends on what instances are installed on an
individual host. The following commands run from the middle tier Oracle Home, and
they start and stop both the middle tier instance and the infrastructure instance, if they are
installed on the same host:
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/runstartupconsole.sh start all
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/runstartupconsole.sh stop all
