Apps Architecture |

This Topic is quite important and I recommend you to go through this thoroughly. First I want to discuss terminology which you will encounter here & in most of Oracle Documentation.
Server - is a process or group of processes and provides a particular functionality/service For example, Database Server listen and process database requests, similarly Web Server listens for and processes HTTP requests.
Tier - is a logical grouping of services, may be on single machine or spread across more than one physical machine. For Example, Middle Tier in Oracle apps consist Form,Web,Report...Services. Forms & Report can be one machine 1 & Web Server can be on machine 2, still they will be part of same tier called as Application Tier or Middle Tier.
Node - is referred as Machine, Each tier may consist of one or more node and each node can potentially have more than one tier.
Desktop Tier - Oracle Applications/E-Business Suite is built on three tier Architecture with first Desktop Tier ic client machines accessing applications via browser(HTML based Self service applications) or Java Applet(Jinitiator) for Form based interface.
Application/Middle Tier - Second is Application Tier also called as middle tier consists of WebServer Forms, Reports, Concurrent processing, Discoverer and Admin Server. I suppose its known as Middle tier because it lies between our desktop & third tier called database tier.
Database Tier - Third is Database Tier contain Orale database server which store all your application data. I am sure if you are DBA you know it :)
About Architecture of Individual Component like , Web Server, Form Server .... I will cover in my future posts.
Now you can raise your doubts/questions/issue in forum at http://teachmeoracle.com/forum (Dedicated to Apps DBA's)

I have a doubt here. While sharing ans app tier, whats the expected behaviour? will all the services come up on both the nodes if i have enabled all the services on both the nodes? will there be 2 diff web entry points???
-
Hi Anonymous, If you have two middle tiers (on two servers) you will end up having two web entry & last installed will be final web entry stored in database.
In order to overcome this problem you have to use load balancer & use virtual host as webentry URL
Do let me know if you have any further doubt. Check implementing HTTP hardware Load balancer to understand it more
-
Oh... so if suppose i am enabling all the services on both nodes of a 2 node installation, then both the login urls should work ideally....or only the one where autoconfig was run recently will work... please clarify
-
Yes both will work but if you shutdown services on middle tier installed last , forms won't work as ICX forms launcher at site level will point to last installed middle tier

Hi Atul,
Your site is really very helpful. Wow! Really good work. I was working as an Apps DBA Oracle India. However, currently for 6 months I have'nt got the right job as an Apps DBA in another country just because people ask for certification here and its too expensive for me. i wonder how i'll find my way thru this. But, this site of your gives me lots of information.
Thanks, Shika.

Shika, Thanks a lot for your comments & feedback.
If you wish to move out from India to work in other country , I think biggest challeneg is to get work permit for specific country .
If you wish to come to UK I will share my experience & things one should do start here independently . Stay tuned

Hi Atul,
Is it possible to configure TAF(RAC) in 11i Apps Env.
Thanks & Regards, ASD
-
Hi Atul,
I have very less exp as an apps dba as compared to you but would like to know is it possible to configure TAF(RAC) on 11.5.10 Thanks for the help
Regards, ASD
-
Hi ASD, Quite good question , We can configure TAF for 11.5.10 with RAC for database & another middle tier for application tier but that is not truely transparent as exisitng used will definately disconnected & has to reconnect but I suppose oracle might improve this on R12 which are with OC4J where user sessions can be transparently failed to another OC4J & another node if DB goes down
-
are u aware of AD features like java_worker,code_level,schema_swap etc???could you please let me know what are these and why are they used? what would happen if we will enable or disable these features?

really u blog help me a lot....i need workflow for APPS user login in OAM
-
Atul, In our system I have about 30 java processes that I think are opp related. As they have a logfile pointing to FNDOPP5176465.txt.
I only have OPP configured with 1 target process and 5 threads person process. Why are there that many java processes.
Also there are a lot of processes which are pointing to a logfile FNDCPGSC5176464.txt. Is this workflow related?
How do I control the above number of these processes. Does each one consume a lot of memory?
Thanks, Sathmika
