Data Center Consolidation

Data center consolidation is the process of reducing the volume of physical IT assets through highly efficient and scalable technologies. Organizations leverage data center consolidation to reduce operating costs.

Analyse and Solve Serious Hardware and Sofware Problems

Listing several basic hardware and software troubleshooting steps with respect to operating systems, software programs, and computer hardware.

Mission Critical Systems

A mission critical system is a system that is essential to the survival of a business or organization. When a mission critical system fails or is interrupted, business operations are significantly impacted.

The best server hardware to maximize IT performance

Data center hardware advances target new workloads such as big data processing, as well as higher efficiency for existing apps and services. The best server hardware for your data center depends on existing and planned application architectures, data center operations staff skills and of course the IT budget.

Collecting Version and Patch Inventory Details for Oracle Identity Manager 11g Issues

 

Gathering version and patch details for issues in OIM 11g

These steps assume Linux variables and pathing.  For Windows environments, adjust your steps accordingly.  For OIM 11g clustered domains which are *not* using shared storage, these commands must be run on each cluster nodes installation location.

  1. For the WLS home, set the domain environment variables using the script in the $DOMAIN_HOME/bin directory, then check the list of applied patches using the BSU utility, printing the results to a text file for readability:
    [oracle@machine1 bin] .  setDomainEnv.sh
    [oracle@machine1 oim_domain]$ cd $MW_HOME/utils/bsu
    [oracle@machine1 bsu]$ ./bsu.sh -view -status=applied -prod_dir=$WL_HOME > WLSpatches.txt
  2. From the same terminal window, set the ORACLE_HOME to use the oracle_common home and set the path to include the path to OPatch, then run the opatch lsinventory -detail command, printing the output to a text file for readability:
    [oracle@machine1 bsu]$ export ORACLE_HOME=$COMMON_COMPONENTS_HOME
    [oracle@machine1 bsu]$ export PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/OPatch
    [oracle@machine1 bsu]$ opatch lsinventory -detail > ASdetail.txt
  3. From the same terminal window, perform similar steps for the SOA home, setting the ORACLE_HOME to use the soa home and running the opatch lsinventory -all command, printing the output to a text file for readability:
    [oracle@machine1 bsu]$ export ORACLE_HOME=$SOA_ORACLE_HOME
    [oracle@machine1 bsu]$ opatch lsinventory -all > SOAall.txt
  4. From the same terminal window, use similar steps for the OIM home:
    [oracle@machine1 bsu]$ export ORACLE_HOME=$OIM_ORACLE_HOME
    [oracle@machine1 bsu]$ opatch lsinventory > OIMinv.txt
  5. Verify the files from steps 1 - 4 contain the component version and patch details, then copy the files for upload to Oracle Support.
  6. Save these files to a location of your choice and be sure to keep the current version of these files available for future uploads to Oracle Support.
