5 Deploying the JDE App Pack into the Management Server

This chapter contains the following topics:

5.1 Prerequisites to Deploying the JDE AppPack into the Management Server

You can install the JDE AppPack to the Enterprise Manager Management Server after you have installed:

Additionally you must have already set up a Software Library as described in the chapter of this guide entitled: Chapter 3, "Set Up the Software Library within Cloud Control".

Further, you must have already imported the JDE AppPack as described in the chapter of this guide entitled: Chapter 4, "Import the JD Edwards Application Pack OPAR".

The JDE AppPack is deployed using Cloud Control. As a prerequisite, you must have an existing Cloud Control and Oracle database installation. The JDE AppPack must be deployed into each existing Cloud Control Management Server.

    On Deploy Plug-in on Management Servers: Review form, the panel warns that deployment of the plug-in on the Management Server will require downtime. All currently connected users will get disconnected from the Enterprise Manager. During the downtime period, users will not be able to connect to Enterprise Manager and Enterprise Manager will not monitor any targets.

    Note:

    Oracle recommends that you backup the repository or ensure appropriate recovery plans are in place prior to deploying the plug-in.
  8. Click the Deploy button.

  9. On Deploy Plug-in on Management Servers: Confirmation form, click the Show Status button. This Confirmation screen indicates that the deployment is started.

    The EM interface shows the starting progress of the deployment.

    However, since OMS is shut down during the deployment process, after a certain time during deployment, you cannot use the EM user interface to verify if the deployment is complete and that the OMS is back up.

    To determine simple status and whether OMS is up or down, use this line command:

    ./emctl status oms

    To view the deployment details, you can append the -details flag using this line command:

    ./emctl status oms -details

    Note:

    Any time you issue the check status command with the -details flag, you are prompted to provide the SYS user password for the EM database as shown in the sample below.

    As the deployment progresses and you check status, a series of steps are performed. The step that indicates the deployment is complete is called Starting OMS, as shown in the sample below.

    Description of deploy_oms_status_done.png follows

    At this point OMS is being started. This means that deployment is complete and that the EM console should be available very soon, depending on how long the actual startup takes to complete.
