Overview of Managing the Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager Virtual Machine

This chapter describes how to manage the Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager virtual machine after initial deployment.

Update Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager to the Latest Version

Perform the following tasks to ensure you are using the latest version of Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager.

Note: Unless otherwise noted, the Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager administrator performs the tasks in this section.

  1. Check the Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager Version

  2. Create a Backup of Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager Virtual Machine

  3. Check Space Requirements

  4. Update to the Latest Codelevel

  5. Switch to File Storage Service

Check the Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager Version

After deploying Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager, you can log in to Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager and check the version by following the instructions in Log In to Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager and Check the Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager Version.

How you proceed will depend on your current Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager version:

The latest version is 24.1.1.2.

Create a Backup of Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager Virtual Machine

Before you run the Self Update Utility, we strongly recommend that you back up your Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager Virtual Machine. To do so, follow the instructions in Cloning a Boot Volume to create a boot volume clone. You will also need to record key details of your provisioning VM for use during a restore process.

From the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console on the Instances screen, click on your instance (for example, myebscminstance) to go to the Instance Details screen. Record (such as in a screenshot) the instance attributes for later use:

When you restore, you will also need the SSH key and host name of the original instance.

To obtain the host name, log in to Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager VM using SSH, and perform the following steps:

  1. Run the hostname command and record the name.

  2. Make a note of the contents of the /etc/hosts file.

Check Space Requirements

Before updating Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager to the latest version, ensure that you have at least 5 GB of available disk space.

While logged in to the Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager virtual machine, run the following commands:

cd /u01
df -kh .

If the available disk space is less than 5 GB, you can free up space by removing older files from the following directories:

If the available disk space is still less than 5 GB, you must resize the boot volume of Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager before proceeding with the migration to the latest codelevel. To resize the boot volume, follow the instructions in Extending the Partition for a Boot Volume in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Documentation.

After the volume is provisioned, for the volume resize to take effect, you need to:

  1. Run the applicable rescan commands. See Rescanning the Disk for a Block Volume or Boot Volume.

  2. Extend the partition manually. See Extending the Partition for a Boot Volume.

Proceed only after confirming that you have sufficient available disk space.

Download the Self Update Patch (Government Cloud Regions Only)

When running Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager in a government cloud region, the Self Update utility requires a tar archive or "tarball" (provided in Patch 36649102) to update to the latest version. To download the patch and retrieve the tarball use the following steps:

  1. Download Patch 36649102 from My Oracle Support to the Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager VM.

  2. Using the following commands, change to the directory where you downloaded the patch file and extract the downloaded patch:

    $ cd <download_folder>
    $ unzip p36649102_24112_Linux-x86-64.zip

    Unzipping the patch zip file creates a directory named /36649102 which includes the tarball file EBSCloudAdminTools_v24.1.1.2.tgz. Note the absolute path of this tarball for use in steps to follow.

Update to the Latest Codelevel

After you have created the backup of the virtual machine and confirmed the available disk space, you can proceed to update your deployment.

Run the Self Update utility to update Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager to the latest version, which is 24.1.1.2.

Perform the following steps:

  1. Connect to the Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager VM using SSH and switch from the opc user to the oracle user:

    $ sudo su - oracle
  2. Run the Self Update utility as follows:

    $ cd /u01/install/APPS/apps-unlimited-ebs/bin
    $ perl selfUpdate.pl
  3. The Self Update Utililty first checks for public object storage connectivity.

    1. If you do not have connectivity to public object storage, the script will update using a local tarball file instead. When prompted, provide the complete path of the local tarball file as well as the stage location in which to extract the tarball file contents. Then, enter Y to continue and perform the upgrade.

      Checking public object storage connectivity.
      No connectivity to public object storage.
      Will attempt to update using local tarball instead.
      Enter complete path of local tarball file : <absolute path of EBSCloudAdminTools_v24.1.1.2.tgz>
      Enter stage location to extract tarball [/u01/install/APPS/updates]: <Accept this default or enter location of your choice>
      Using default stage location: /u01/install/APPS/updates
      Validating specified tarball. Please wait.
      Validation successful for specified tarball.
      Do you want to continue and perform the upgrade? [Y/N]? Y
    2. If connectivity to public object storage is in place, choose the Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager version from the choices provided:

      Available Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager release versions: 
      
      1: 24.1.1.2
      
      Choose release version to upgrade to from the above list: 1 
  4. When prompted, enter your Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager administrator password:

    Enter Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager Admin Password: 

    Note: You should have already followed the steps in Configure Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager Compute Instance to configure your VM. At this prompt, enter the Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager administrator password you specified at that time.

  5. Next, the Self Update utility prompts you to confirm that you have created a backup of the Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager Virtual Machine following the instructions in Create a Backup of Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager Virtual Machine.

    When prompted, enter Y to confirm that you want to continue:

    Before update, you must create a backup of the Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud
    Manager Virtual Machine as per the instructions in the section "Update to Latest Version
    of Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager" of Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager Guide.
    
    To continue, you must confirm you have created a backup of your Oracle E-Business
    Suite Cloud Manager Virtual Machine or the update process will exit.
    
    Backup created [Y/N]?

    Note: If you have not yet created your backup, enter N at the prompt. In this case, the utility exits to allow you to create the backup before proceeding with the update process.

  6. Before continuing with the update, you should also ensure that there are no jobs in your Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager with a status of In Progress, Scheduled, Paused, or Failed. See Monitor Job Status.

    It is recommended that you allow In Progress and Scheduled jobs to complete before continuing, resume any Paused jobs, and restart any Failed jobs that you want to try again. You can also choose to delete an incomplete installation or an incomplete backup to clean up any resources instead of restarting the Failed job. If there are still any jobs with a status of Failed when you perform the update, their status will be changed to Aborted. In this case, you must manually clean up any incomplete resources from the job after the update.

    When prompted, enter Y to confirm that you want to continue:

    Before upgrading, ensure there are no In Progress, Scheduled, Paused, or 
    Failed jobs. You must remove any incomplete artifacts (resources) associated 
    with a failed job before you continue with the upgrade. Any failed jobs will 
    be marked as aborted by the upgrade process and cannot be restarted.
    
    Do you want to continue [Y/N]? Y
  7. The utility then displays several messages recording the actions it performs. Finally, it displays a screen containing a success message, similar to the following. You can optionally review the log file to verify further details about the update.

Switch to File Storage Service

As of version 22.2.1, Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager uses the File Storage service (FSS) to create shared application tier file systems. After you update to Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager version 22.2.1 or later, you must follow the instructions in these sections to enable FSS:

  1. Assign FSS-related policies. See Assign Policies, Create Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Accounts and Resources, and Assign Policies, Create the Oracle E-Business Suite Administrators Group and Assign Policies.

  2. Create custom FSS-related network resources. See Use a Custom Network.

  3. Create an FSS-enabled network profile. See Create Network Profiles and Create a Network Profile.

Note: Note that when provisioning an FSS-based shared application tier file system, Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager sets the APPLLDM variable to "product" so that concurrent manager log files are placed in a corresponding product directory under $APPLCSF.

Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager will continue to support preexisting environments which do not use FSS. However, we strongly recommend that you convert your environments to FSS. You can do so by first backing up the preexisting environment, and then provisioning a new environment from that backup using an FSS-enabled network profile. See Create a Backup of a Cloud-Based Oracle E-Business Suite Environment and Advanced Provisioning. Alternatively, if you manually configured FSS in an Oracle E-Business Suite environment, you can now use the Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager Discovery feature to register that environment. See Discover an Oracle E-Business Suite Instance.

Standalone Tasks

Replace the Self-Signed Certificate for the Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager Load Balancer with a Certificate Authority Issued Certificate

When you configure Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager, the listener of the Load Balancer as a Service (LBaaS) is TLS enabled for HTTP inbound connections to Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager. The certificate that is deployed by default for this configuration is a self-signed certificate. You can update the self-signed certificate with a certificate authority (CA) issued certificate using the following steps:

  1. By default the Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager URL uses an IP address rather than a host name. The first step is to map the Oracle E-Business Suite IP address to a host name.

    Note: Oracle Cloud Infrastructure provides a public IP address but does not provide a public host name; therefore, you should ensure that appropriate DNS entries are present to resolve host name to the public IP address.

  2. Update the Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager VM by following the instructions in Update the Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager URL.

  3. Obtain a certificate for the host name from a certificate authority.

  4. Log in to the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console. From the navigation menu, select Networking, then Load Balancers, and then select the load balancer you want to configure.

    Add your certificate bundle to the load balancer. See To upload an SSL certificate bundle to your load balancing system in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Services documentation.

    If you have multiple certificates that form a single certification chain, such as one or more intermediate certificates together with a root certificate, then you must include all relevant certificates in one file before you upload them to the system. Refer to "Uploading Certificate Chains" in Working with SSL Certificates in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Documentation.

  5. While still on the Load Balancer page, click the Listeners link under the Resources menu on the left.

  6. Search for the Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager's listener. Note that there can be multiple listeners associated, as the same load balancer can be used by more than one Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager.
