The top-level directory for the Oracle Fusion Applications binaries. You specify a name for this directory at the time of provisioning. This directory includes two mount points: /net/mount1/appbase for components that will remain read-only after provisioning, and /net/mount2 (APPLICATIONS_CONFIG) to contain instances that are configurable after provisioning. This structure aids performance issues and accommodates a "lock-down" of binaries after provisioning. It ensures that the configurable components remain available.
Business Process Execution Language; a standard language for defining how to send XML messages to remote services, manipulate XML data structures, receive XML messages asynchronously from remote services, manage events and exceptions, define parallel sequences of execution, and undo parts of processes when exceptions occur.
The installation phase that shuts down processes started during a failed phase and performs the necessary cleanup actions. If the automated cleanup fails, you must manually stop all processes except the Node Manager on all hosts including OPMN and Java EE processes before you can run the restore action. Note, however, that you must stop all processes if you are running the cleanup action on the Configure phase
Used for starting the Provisioning Wizard and running installation phases on the Primary host, Secondary host, and DMZ host (when present).
A group of Oracle WebLogic Servers that work together to provide scalability and high availability for applications. A cluster appears as a single Oracle WebLogic Server instance. The Managed Server instances that constitute a cluster can run on the same host or be located on different hosts. Applications are deployed to the cluster, which implies deployment to every Managed Server within the cluster.
The installation phase that creates domains, Managed Servers, and clusters. Configures data sources and performs Node Manager registration of servers on the primordial host and primary host.
The installation phase that performs the configuration actions on a primary or secondary host (or both), registers Managed Servers with the Node Manager on secondary hosts, and creates a web tier instance. If there are no primary or secondary hosts, or if there are only primary hosts, this phase runs, but takes no action.
Acronym for demilitarized zone. An isolated internal network used for servers that are accessed by external clients on the Internet, such as web servers, to provide a measure of security for internal networks behind the firewall.
A host that cannot access the shared storage within the firewall. This type of host is typically used to install the Oracle HTTP Server so that restrictions on communication with components within the firewall can be enforced.
Comprised of reports and other documents such as text, PDF, PowerPoint, Excel and Word files. When run, the report data is dynamically retrieved from the database; the snapshot data remains static.
Acronym for File Transfer Protocol. A system for transferring computer files, generally by the Internet.
The region across the top of the user interface. It provides access to features and tools that are relevant to any page you are on.
A directory that contains one or more Oracle Fusion Middleware homes or Oracle Fusion Applications homes. This directory has no functional significance other than as a grouping of related Oracle product offerings.
A properties file, idmsetup.properties, is automatically generated during the provisioning of an Oracle Identity Management environment. This file includes some of the configuration values that you must supply to the Provisioning Wizard when you create a response file. These values must be included in your response file to integrate Oracle Identity Management components with an Oracle Fusion Applications environment.
Select the Load IDM Configuration from IDM Properties file option available on the IDM Properties File screen of the Provisioning Wizard, if you want the values on the Identity Management Configuration screen and the Access and Policy Management Configuration screen to default to the values in the IDM properties file. You must however review these screens to ensure that all values are accurate before proceeding to the next screen.
The properties file is created in:SHARED_CONFIG_DIR/fa/idmsetup.properties, where SHARED_CONFIG_DIR is the shared configuration location that you selected in the Install Location Configuration page of the Oracle Identity Management Provisioning Wizard.
For more information about the IDM properties file, see Passing Configuration Properties File to Oracle Fusion Applications.
The installation phase that installs middleware and applications components and applies database patches shipped with provisioning (for databases created with the wizard).
A server which hosts components and associated resources that constitute each product configuration. The domains are predefined to ensure that product offerings and their dependencies are always stored in a standardized arrangement.
Acronym for mail transfer agent. A software program that transfers electronic mail messages from one computer to another.
A comprehensive grouping of business functions, such as Sales or Product Management, that is delivered as a unit to support one or more business processes.
Oracle Fusion Applications Search
A special type of search based on technology that differs from that of most other searches in Oracle Fusion Applications. Oracle Fusion Applications Search is available in the global area and other places.
User selected dimensions that are not included in the grids at the row, column or page levels for a particular report. Only these dimensions can be overridden at run time, unless user also specifically defined Prompt for the dimensions on the grid.
Installation phase which configures Oracle SOA Suite composite deployment and Oracle HTTP Server, and populates policies and grants. Configures middleware and applications that require servers to be online.
The installation phase that updates the Oracle Application Development Framework (Oracle ADF) configuration.
The installation phase that checks to see that the prerequisites for an installation are met.
The host that contains the Common domain (and specifically the Administration Server of the Common domain). There is one, and only one, primordial host per shared drive.
Groups of features within an installation of Oracle Fusion Applications which represent the highest-level collection of functionality that you can license and implement.
A repository which contains all the installers required to provision a new Oracle Fusion Applications environment. You download the repository from the Oracle Fusion Applications Product Media Package and extract the files to a location of your choice, for example repository_location/installers. The repository must be located on a networked drive or a shared hard disk so that it is accessible to all the hosts in your new environment.
A file which contains details that describe the installation. It is automatically created by provisioning after the installation is complete and includes a link to the Oracle Fusion Applications home page.
A question-and-answer interview that guides you through the process of installing a database, creating or updating a response file, and installing or deinstalling the components of an Oracle Fusion Applications environment.
A collection of configuration details you specify about installation locations, product offerings and middleware (technology stack) dependencies. In addition, you enter connection parameters for the database and identity management components that you set up as prerequisites. You use the Provisioning Wizard interview to create and execute the response file.
The installation phase consisting of the necessary restore actions required for a given provisioning phase. This action deletes and restores the instance directory, and, if necessary (and available), restarts the Common Domain Administration Server and Oracle HTTP Server.
Location where the Managed Servers for any application reside when they are not on the same host as the Administration Server of the same domain. Typically used when a domain spans two physical servers.
Installation phase that starts the Administration Server and the Managed Server on the current host. Performs online configuration, including global unique identifier (GUID) reconciliation and Financial/IPM configuration.
Installation phase that validates the deployment configuration and starts the Managed Server.
A logically related group of Oracle WebLogic Server resources that is managed as a unit. It consists of an Administration Server and one or more Managed Server.
