Enabling Oracle Application Server Control

This task describes how to change settings in the Oracle Process Manager and Notification Server (OPMN) file, opmn.xml. This allows you to use Oracle Application Server Control.

NOTE:  This task is only appropriate if you are installing Oracle BI into an existing Oracle Applications installation.

To change settings in opmn.xml to enable Oracle Application Server Control

1. Locate opmn.xml in the Oracle Applications installation directory. For example, in

   OracleBI_HOME/opmn/conf

2. In a text editor, open the opmn.xml file.
3. Navigate to the <data-id="java-options"> tag, located within the <category id=start-parameters> tag.
4. Enter new path settings for each of the following environment variables in opmn.xml:
   • -DSAROOTDIR: Set this environment variable to the value of the root directory path for the Oracle BI installation (OracleBI_HOME).
   • -DSADATADIR: Set this environment to the value of the data directory path for the Oracle BI installation (OracleBIData_HOME).

     For example, for a Windows Oracle BI installation you can add the following settings shown in bold text:

   <data id="java-options" value="-DSAROOTDIR=D:\<USER>\OracleBI
   -DSADATADIR=D:\<USER>\OracleBIData -Xrs -server -Djava.security.policy=$ORACLE_HOME/j2ee/home/config/java2.policy -Djava.awt.headless=true -Dhttp.webdir.enable=false"/>

   where <USER> represents the path in which Oracle BI is installed.

   It is now possible to modify configuration files using Oracle Application Server Control.
