Architecture Overview

This section provides an overview of the Oracle Real-Time Scheduler application architecture.

Application Architecture

The Oracle Real-Time Scheduler application is deployed on multiple tiers.

Please see the Oracle Real-Time Scheduler Server Administration Guide for a more detailed description of the application architecture and individual tiers.

Tier 1: Desktop/Client, or Presentation Tier

This tier is implemented in a browser-based client. Users use a desktop client web browser to log in to and use the Oracle Real-Time Scheduler application. Note also that a desktop machine running Microsoft Windows and the Oracle client is required to perform some of the product installation steps.

Tier 2: Mobile Client Tier

This tier is implemented on mobile computers such as laptops and handhelds. Users can install the mobile client software to use the mobile functionality of Oracle Real-Time Scheduler.

Tier 3: Web Application / Business Application Server, or Business Logic Tier

This tier is implemented in a web application or business application server. The business application component can be installed as part of the web application server, or as a separate component. Except where explicitly noted, most of the Oracle Real-Time Scheduler installation documentation assumes that the web application and business application servers reside together.

Tier 4: Database, or Persistence Tier

This tier is implemented in a database server. The database server stores data maintained by the Oracle Real-Time Scheduler application. More specifically, the database tier contains the data server files and database executables that physically store the tables, indexes, and other database objects for your system.

Supported Platforms and Hardware Requirements

This chapter includes:

•

Software and Hardware Considerations

•

Operating Systems and Application Servers

•

Hardware Requirements

•

Application Server Memory Requirements

•

Additional Notes on Supported Platforms

•

Support for Software Patches and Upgrades

Software and Hardware Considerations

There are many factors that can influence software and hardware decisions. For example, your system may have to satisfy specific performance, availability, or scalability requirements, or to support running in a language other than English. These business requirements, together with the chosen system architecture, should be used in initial software and hardware planning.

Some of the questions that you should answer before beginning the installation include:

•

On which hardware platform and operating system would Oracle Real-Time Scheduler be deployed?

•

On which web server product would Oracle Real-Time Scheduler be deployed?

•

On which database product would Oracle Real-Time Scheduler be deployed?

•

Do you plan to deploy multiple Oracle Real-Time Scheduler instances on the same physical server?

•

How do you plan to deploy Oracle Real-Time Scheduler?

•

Web/application/database on the same physical server

•

Web/application on one server and database on separate server

•

Each component on its own server

Note: If you deploy the mobility application and web application on different servers, the log file path should be shared on the network.

•

How do you plan to install and update the Oracle Real-Time Scheduler mobile client on the mobile computers or devices?

•

Use a device management software like Oracle Mobile Server for installation and updates.

•

How do you plan to secure Oracle Real-Time Scheduler when communicating with devices over unsecured networks like the internet?

For detailed descriptions of various deployment architecture choices that may aid in planning, please see the document Oracle Utilities Application Framework Architecture Guidelines, available on My Oracle Support (Article ID 807068.1).

The final hardware and software decisions must comply with the specific requirements of Oracle Real-Time Scheduler, as described in the rest of this chapter.

Supported on the Mobile Client

The following section describes the devices, operating systems and features that are available with the Oracle Real-Time Scheduler mobile client application.

The mobile application can be used in a disconnected or connected mode. In disconnected mode the mobile application and data reside locally on the mobile device allowing the crew to work offline as needed. This means the physical device has to be compatible with the mobile application requirements it runs locally.

In connected mode neither data nor the mobile application reside locally on the accessing mobile device. Instead the data and mobile application reside on the server and the user must be connected to the server at all times using their standard browser to access the mobile application.

Please refer to "About Connection Modes" in the user guide for more information.

The following entities are supported on mobile devices. Please note the distinction between attachments and captures:

•

Captures are pictures or sound that are captured using native features on the device.

•

Attachments are sent to the device with activities and require an application installed on the device to open them.

•

GPS pinpoints the exact location information of the crew using GPS services.

•

Maps allow tracking the actual or planned route of the crew on a map.

Before You Install

Refer to My Oracle Support for up-to-date additional information about installing Oracle Real-Time Scheduler.

Before You Upgrade

MCP Version Control Enhancement

The MCP version control enhancement requires that a certain upgrade process be followed to ensure that no data is lost and no incompatible version issues arise.

The upgrade process includes the following steps:

1.

All mobile devices should end their shifts and log off.

2.

Upgrade the server and all MDTs.

3.

Regenerate all deployments.

For more information about this enhancement and upgrade considerations, refer to Chapter "Deploying the Application to Mobile Devices," in the Oracle Real-Time Scheduler Configuration Guide.

Processing Stale RSI messages

RSI messages are messages that are sent from the MCP device to the server. After a system upgrade, due to serialization issues, older RSI messages may not be recoverable. Therefore, RSI messages must be processed before an upgrade.

To process stale RSI messages, follow the procedure below:

1.

To check for RSI messages which are in a non-finalized state (stale RSI messages), run the SQL query:

select count(*) from m1_srvr_status where status_lookup_flg = 'M1QU'

2.

If this query returns any records (count >0), run the RSI Batch Process job (Batch Name: M1-RSIBP).

3.

This batch job processes queued RSI messages.

•

If the record executed successfully, the status of the record is changed to Delivered (M1DE).

•

If any application error occurred, the status of the record is changed to Error (M1ER).

4.

After completion of batch process, run the following SQL query:

select count(*) from m1_srvr_status where status_lookup_flg = 'M1QU'

If running this query returns any records (count>0), those records may not be recoverable.

5.

Continue with the system upgrade.

In addition, refer to My Oracle Support for up-to-date additional information on Oracle Real-Time Scheduler.
