How to Start Servers Manually

If you have not set up automatic startup, you can start the required servers manually using the instructions in this section.

For information about these servers, see Architecture.

This section includes:

Start the FRDomain Node Manager

  1. Go to ORACLE_HOME\user_projects\domains\FRDomain\bin and run startNodeManager.cmd.

Start the FRDomain Admin Server

The Oracle FRDomain Admin Server is located on the WebLogic Server domain, and we recommend you to name it as FRDomain and use port number 7001. You must start the Admin Server before you can start either the Oracle Forms Server or the Oracle Reports Server.

At the DOS command prompt, do the following:

  • Go to ORACLE_HOME\user_projects\domains\FRDomain\bin and run the startWebLogic.cmd.

Note:

You cannot start it from the Admin Console because if the server is not running, the FRDomain Admin Console is not available.

Start the Forms Server

The Oracle Forms Server is located on the WebLogic Server domain, and we recommend you to name it as FRDomain and use port number 7001. You must start the FRDomain Admin Server before the Forms Server.

To start the Forms Server (WLS_FORM), do one of the following:

  • Start the Forms Server in the Admin Console at http://host:7001/console.

    Note:

    The Admin Console is available only if the Admin Server is running.

  • Open a DOS prompt, and run the following:

    ORACLE_HOME\user_projects\domains\FRDomain\bin\startManagedWeblogic WLS_FORMS
    

Start the Reports Server

The Oracle Reports Server is located on the WebLogic Server domain, and we recommend you to name it as FRDomain and use port number 7001. You must start the FRDomain Admin Server before the Reports Server.

To start the Reports Server (WLS_REPORTS), do one of the following:

  • Start the Reports Server in the Admin Console at http://host:7001/console.

    Note:

    The Admin Console is available only if the Admin Server is running.

  • Open a DOS prompt, and run the following:

    ORACLE_HOME\user_projects\domains\FRDomain\bin\startManagedWeblogic WLS_REPORTS
    

Start the OPADomain Node Manager

  1. Go to ORACLE_HOME\user_projects\domains\OPADomain\bin and run startNodeManager.cmd.

Start the OPADomain Admin Server

The Oracle OPADomain Admin Server is located on the WebLogic Server domain, and we recommend you to name it as OPADomain, and use port number 7101. You must start the Admin Server before you can start the Managed Server of OPADomain.

To start the OPADomain Admin Server:

  1. Go to ORACLE_HOME\user_projects\domains\OPADomain\bin and run startWebLogic.cmd.

Note:

You cannot start from the Admin Console because if the server is not running, the OPADomain Admin Console is not available.

Start the Managed Server of OPADomain

The Managed Server of OPADomain is located on the WebLogic Server domain, and we recommend you to name it as OPADomain and use port number 7101. The Managed Server of OPADomain runs on Oracle ADF and supports RDC Onsite, the TMS Browser, and TMS reports. It also contains the database connections.

You must start the OPADomain Admin Server before the Managed Server of OPADomain.

To start the Managed Server of OPADomain, use the Admin Console at either:

  • http://host:7101/console

  • https://host/opaconsole (if configured)

Start the OHS Server

  1. Go to ORACLE_HOME\user_projects\domains\FRDomain\bin and run the startComponent.cmd for ohs1.

Start the TMS Reports Server

To start the TMS Reports Server:

  1. Go to ORACLE_HOME\user_projects\domains\FRDomain\bin and run the startComponent.cmd for report_server_name.

    Where, report_server_name is the name you had used when the Reports Server was installed.
