Discovering an Oracle E-Business Suite Instance

Follow the steps described in Discovering Oracle E-Business Suite.

Recommended Procedure if Enterprise Manager is Deployed on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure

This section describes the steps required for manually discovering Oracle E-Business Suite environments provisioned in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Compute.

Overview

In order to manually discover Oracle E-Business Suite environments provisioned on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, you must complete the following sequence of steps, which are described in further detail in this section:

  1. Ensure prerequisites are fulfilled.

  2. Take inventory of port numbers which will be opened from the Oracle E-Business Suite nodes, which will be used in later steps.

  3. Create ingress rules in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure to open the "Enterprise Manager Upload Http SSL Port" from the Oracle E-Business Suite nodes to the OMS host and add corresponding firewall rules to the OMS host.

  4. Create ingress rules in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure to open the required ports from OMS to the Oracle E-Business Suite nodes.

  5. Add firewall rules on corresponding application, database nodes corresponding to the ingress rules that were created.

  6. Ensure that fully qualified domain name of each of the Oracle E-Business Suite nodes is resolvable from the OMS host and the fully qualified domain name of the OMS host is resolvable from each of the Oracle E-Business Suite nodes.

  7. Create required named credentials to connect to the Oracle E-Business Suite nodes.

  8. Manually install a management agent on all Oracle E-Business Suite node.

  9. Manually add Oracle E-Business Suite database related targets.

  10. Manually discover the Oracle E-Business Suite instance.

Prerequisites

Before you perform a manually discovery of Oracle E-Business Suite environments provisioned in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Compute, verify that the following requirements are fulfilled:

Notes

Taking Inventory of Port Numbers

In order for EM agents to be able to upload to OMS, an ingress rule must be created on the subnet where the OMS is installed to allow communication on the "Enterprise Manager Upload Http SSL Port" (which is by default "4093") from all Oracle E-Business Suite nodes. Take note of the port number.

Note: You can find the port number used in <Middleware home>/install/portlist.ini on the OMS host.

Record the following port numbers for reference, which will be opened from the Oracle E-Business Suite nodes:

Creating Ingress Rules in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure to Open Required Ports from Oracle E-Business Suite Nodes to OMS Host

Add ingress rules to the security lists associated with the subnet on which the OMS host is created, using steps in Adding an Ingress Rule with the following properties (multiple rules may have to be created to cover CIDRs of all Oracle E-Business Suite nodes):

Note: If the OMS host and Oracle E-Business Suite instances are on the same Virtual Cloud Network (VCN), the communication will happen using private IPs. In this case, the CIDR should match the private IP of the Oracle E-Business Suite node. If the OMS host and the Oracle E-Business Suite instances are on different VCNs, the communication will happen on public IPs. In this case, the CIDR should match the public IP of Oracle E-Business Suite node.

Creating Firewall Rules on the OMS Host to Allow Communication from Oracle E-Business Suite Nodes

  1. Log in to the OMS host as the root user.

  2. For each ingress rule added, create a corresponding firewall rule using commands similar to following:

    firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-rich-rule 'rule family=ipv4 source address=<CIDR for IPs of Oracle E-Business Suite nodes> port port=<port number> protocol=tcp accept' --permanent

    firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-rich-rule 'rule family=ipv4 source address=<CIDR for IPs of Oracle E-Business Suite nodes> port port=<port number> protocol=tcp accept'

Creating Ingress Rules in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure to Open Required Ports from OMS to the Oracle E-Business Suite Nodes

Note: If the OMS host and Oracle E-Business Suite nodes are on the same VCN, use the private IP of the OMS host when creating ingress rules. If the OMS host and Oracle E-Business Suite nodes are on different VCNs, use the public IP of the OMS Host when creating Ingress rules.

  1. Add ingress rules to the security lists associated with the subnets on which the Oracle E-Business Suite App nodes are created (this information is provided while provisioning the Oracle E-Business Suite instance on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure), using steps in Adding an Ingress Rule with the following properties:

    • Source Type: CIDR, Source CIDR: <OMS host IP>/32, IP Protocol: TCP, Source Port Range: All, Destination Port Range: 22

    • Source Type: CIDR, Source CIDR: <OMS host IP>/32, IP Protocol: TCP, Source Port Range: All, Destination Port Range: <WebLogic admin server port range> for example: 7001-7003 (Required only for Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.2 instances)

    • Source Type: CIDR, Source CIDR: <OMS host IP >/32, IP Protocol: TCP, Source Port Range: All, Destination Port Range: <agent install port> for example: 3872

  2. Add ingress rules to the security lists associated with the subnets on which Oracle E-Business Suite database nodes are created (this information is provided while provisioning the Oracle E-Business Suite instance on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure), using steps in Adding an Ingress Rule with the following properties:

    • Source Type: CIDR, Source CIDR: <OMS host IP>/32, IP Protocol: TCP, Source Port Range: All, Destination Port Range: 22

    • Source Type: CIDR, Source CIDR: <OMS host IP>/32, IP Protocol: TCP, Source Port Range: All, Destination Port Range: <database listener port> for example: 1521

    • Source Type: CIDR, Source CIDR: <OMS host IP>/32, IP Protocol: TCP, Source Port Range: All, Destination Port Range: <agent install port> for example: 3872

Adding Firewall Rules on Oracle E-Business Suite Nodes

Add Firewall Rules to Oracle E-Business Suite App Nodes

Add firewall rules using the steps in Adding Firewall Rule When Local Firewall Uses "firewalld". Each rule should correspond to each of the ingress rules added previously for the Oracle E-Business Suite App nodes.

Add Firewall Rules to Oracle E-Business Suite Database Nodes, When Database is on Compute

Add firewall rules using the steps in Adding Firewall Rule When Local Firewall Uses "firewalld". Each rule should correspond to each of the ingress rules added previously for each of the database nodes.

Add Firewall Rules to Oracle E-Business Suite Database Nodes, When Database is on 1- Node VM DB System or 2-Node VM DB System

Add firewall rules using the steps in Adding Firewall Rule When Local Firewall Uses "iptables". Each rule should correspond to each of the ingress rules added previously for each of the database nodes.

Add Firewall Rules to Oracle E-Business Suite Database Nodes, When Database is on Exadata DB System

In this case, no firewall rules need to be added. Do not attempt to add any firewall rules.

Ensuring the Fully Qualified Domain Name is Resolvable

You must ensure that the fully qualified domain name (FDQN) of each of the Oracle E-Business Suite node is resolvable from the OMS host and that the FQDN of the OMS host is resolvable from each Oracle E-Business Suite node.

If the OMS host and Oracle E-Business Suite nodes are on the same VCN, no additional settings are required.

Although, if the OMS host and Oracle E-Business Suite nodes are on different VCNs, an update to the /etc/hosts file on OMS host and each of the Oracle E-Business Suite nodes is required so that the host names are resolvable as required. Ensure that the entries are created with public IPs of the hosts to FQDN for the host.

For example:

129.213.29.20 em132amp1.ampsubnet.my1811vcn.example.com em132amp1

Creating Required Named Credentials to Connect Oracle E-Business Suite Nodes

Create named credentials which will be used to connect to the Oracle E-Business Suite nodes. Using the steps in Creating a Named Credential, create named credentials with the following properties:

  4. For Host, choose or enter the first node in the cluster.

  5. Click Add ….

  6. Fill in all the values, using the steps described in My Oracle Support Knowledge Document 1908635.1, EM 13c, 12c: How to Discover the Cluster and Cluster Database (RAC) Target in EM Cloud Control, in section (c), "Discover the Cluster Target and Cluster Database Target manually," under "How to determine the values which need to be supplied."

    Note: To determine "CRS_HOME" on OCI, execute the command ps -ef | grep tns. The output of the command will have the grid infrastructure home.
