7 Configuring Oracle Application InterConnect

Oracle9i Application Server mid-tier installation includes Oracle Application InterConnect (OAI) hub and six adapters. You must configure them before you can use them. This chapter provides configuration information for OAI.

This chapter contains the following sections:

Pre-requisites
Configuring an OAI Hub
Configuring OAI Adapters
Start or Stop OAI

Pre-requisites

OAI requires Oracle Internet Directory (OiD). You cannot configure it in Oracle9i Application Server Certified Configuration J2EE & Web Cache without an Infrastructure type of install. You must have the Infrastructure up and running when you configure OAI.

Before configuring OAI, you must log in as the user who owns the Oracle9i Application Server mid-tier Oracle home and set the environment variable by sourcing the following script:

$cd ~/
$ . profile.iascc_env

A list of Oracle homes on the system will appear, select the Mid-Tier.

Configuring an OAI Hub

Run the following command to configure an OAI hub:

$ /admin/mwcc/oai/config_oai.sh -hub

You should always configure the OAI hub with the Infrastructure database.

Configuring OAI Adapters

The following table lists the OAI adapters that you can configure and the command that you must run to configure them.

Table 7-1 OAI Adapters

Adapter	Command
AQ	`$ /admin/mwcc/oai/config_oai.sh -adapter -adaptertype=aq`
Database	`$ /admin/mwcc/oai/config_oai.sh -adapter -adaptertype=db`
FTP	`$ /admin/mwcc/oai/config_oai.sh -adapter -adaptertype=ftp`
HTTP	`$ /admin/mwcc/oai/config_oai.sh -adapter -adaptertype=http`
MQ Series	`$ /admin/mwcc/oai/config_oai.sh -adapter \-adaptertype=mqseries`
SMTP	`$ /admin/mwcc/oai/config_oai.sh -adapter -adaptertype=smtp`

You can give a comma separated list of types to -adaptertype parameter to configure multiple adapters in one command.

Start or Stop OAI

To start the OAI hub, run the following commands:

$ cd $ORACLE_HOME/oai/9.0.2/repository
$ ./start

To stop the OAI hub, run the following commands:

$ cd $ORACLE_HOME/oai/9.0.2/repository
$ ./stop

To start an OAI adapter, run the following commands:

$ cd $ORACLE_HOME/oai/9.0.2/adapters/<adapter_name>;
$ ./start

To stop the OAI hub, run the following commands:

$ cd $ORACLE_HOME/oai/9.0.2/adapters/<adapter_name>;
$ ./stop

The Oracle9i Application Server Certified Configuration start and stop scripts will automatically start or stop the OAI hub and OAI adapters that you configured using config_oai.sh.
