10.1 Configuration Issues and Workarounds

This section describes configuration issues and their workarounds for Oracle9iAS Wireless.

10.1.1 Oracle9iAS Wireless Process Status Unavailable for Multiple ORACLE_HOMEs with External Repository

When installing both middle and infrastructure tiers on the same machine and changing the Wireless schema from the Enterprise Manager console to point to a schema other than the one available as part of the infrastructure install, the Wireless process status changes are not displayed on the Enterprise Manager console. This problem occurs on all platforms.

Here is the workaround for this problem:

From the ORACLE_HOME of the middle-tier for which the schema has been changed, copy the following fragment from the file

<middle-tier ORACLE_HOME>/config/iasschema.xml

and paste it over (overwrite) the corresponding entry in the infrastructure ORACLE_HOME file

<infrastructure ORACLE_HOME>/config/iasschema.xml 
<SchemaConfigData> 
<ComponentName>Wireless</ComponentName> 
      <BaseName>WIRELESS</BaseName> 
      <Override>true</Override> 
      <SchemaName>the new schema name</SchemaName> 
      <DBConnect>the new DB connect string</DBConnect> 
@      <Password>the new DB password (encrypted)</Password> 
  </SchemaConfigData>

Restart Enterprise Manager after this is done.

10.1.2 Setting the Wireless Logging Directory

This is a mandatory step for Wireless when installing multiple middle-tiers against the same infrastructure.

If you install more than one middle-tier against the same infrastructure, perform the steps below on all the middle-tiers except the first one.

From the EM console, navigate to the middle-tier in question and click on the Wireless link.
Under the Administration section, click on the Logging directory link.
Modify the value of the Logging Directory to <ORACLE_HOME>/wireless/logs
Restart Enterprise Manager on this machine.
