Install Oracle Workflow
Automated Startup and Shutdown of installed Oracle products will be implemented using shell script "dbora". This script is based on description that You can find in Oracle Metalink.
First check that the file /etc/oratab contains entry for the Database that You like to Start/shut:
vl094:~ # cat /etc/oratab
DB094:/appl/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1:Y
For the Start/Shut for the Database and the Listener I will use scripts distributed with Oracle DB Software located in $ORACLE_HOME/bin:
dbstart $ORACLE_HOME - to start the database and listener and
dbshut $ORACLE_HOME - to stop the database and listener. You must remember that this two scripts requires one parameter, this parameter is ORACLE_HOME.
You must save the Script in /etc/init.d.
Set scripts permissions:
vl094:~ # cd /etc/init.d/
vl094:/etc/init.d # chmod 755 dbora
Register Service:
vl094:/etc/init.d # /sbin/chkconfig --add dbora
dbora 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:off 5:on 6:off
"chkconfig" will create symbolic links under rc3.d and rc5.d to /etc/init.d/dbora.
SLES "insserv" utility (used from "chkconfig") uses the following header to define run level and start/shut order:
6 ### BEGIN INIT INFOScript to start BI Publisher is not running in background after the start. So I started the BI Publisher Script with "nohup" and in background with "&".
7 # Provides: dbora
8 # Required-Start: $local_fs $remot_fs $netdeamons
9 # Required-Stop:
10 # Default-Start: 3 5
11 # Default-Stop: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6
12 # Description: start/shutdown of Database and other Oracle Products
13 ### END INIT INFO
After the start I simply wait for 60 seconds, and then continue with the next step. Naturally, there is better methods to check if the process is started, but for me it works perfectly.
46 # oracle bi publisherI noticed that the Oracle HTTP Server processes need sometimes about a minute to startup - so I am "sleeping"for 60 seconds after start of Oracle HTTP Server. Not so elegant - but in my style.
47 echo "Starting BI Publisher..."
48 su - $OBIP_USER -c "nohup $OBIP_HOME/oc4j_bi/bin/oc4j -start
>>$OBIP_HOME/startbip.log &"
49 RET_BIP=$?
50 echo "Sleeping 60 sec..."
51 sleep 60
55 # oracle http serverThe "touch" command would create a file at the startup of the database. The Oracle process would now have a lock on the above file which should be released at time of OS reboot. The script which is called by 'inittab' whenever the run level is changed, looks for the existence of a lock file in "/var/lock/subsys". If this lock file does not exist, the stop command will not be issued.
56 su - $OHS_USER -c "$OHS_HOME/opmn/bin/opmnctl startall"
57 RET_HS=$?
58 echo "Sleeping 60 sec..."
59 sleep 60
60 # touch lock fileI added simple logging - log file will be located in /tmp/dbora.log
61 touch /var/lock/subsys/dbora
Here is the complete Script:
vl094:/etc/init.d # cat -n dbora
Here is standard output of my "start" test:
