  I have windows servers that we want managers node and managed to run instances. As you can see I would like to run Node Manager under Windows Services.
  
  I use this guide:
  
  < a link = http://wlsjavatips.blogspot.com/2009/09/how-to-install-node-manager-as-windows.html >http://wlsjavatips.blogspot.com/2009/09/how-to-install-node-manager-as-windows.html< /a >
  
  Create boot.properties that include the user name and password:
  
  - AdminServer (location: < WL_HOME > \user_projects\domains\ < DomainName > \servers\AdminServer\data\nodemanager)
  - WLS_FORMS (location: < WL_HOME > \user_projects\domains\ < DomainName > \servers\WLS_FORMS\data\nodemanager)
  - WLS_REPORTS (location: < WL_HOME > \user_projects\domains\ < DomainName > \servers\WLS_REPORTS\data\nodemanager)
  
  Results :
  1 are you able to automatically start all servers (AdminServer, WLS_FORMS and WLS_REPORTS) after the server restarted.
  2. I can't access to http:// < hostname >: 7001/console, < hostname > http://: 7001/em, http:// < hostname >: 9001/forms/frmservletand http:// < hostname >: 9002/reports/rwservlet
  
  Questions :
  1. on WebLogic Console http:// < hostname >: 7001/console, the status of AdminServer, WLS_FORMS and WLS_REPORTS are running, but the State of health is OK just to AdminServer, and others have no status.
  2. as I said before, I can run my form on http:// < hostname >: 9001/forms/frmservlet and run my report on http:// < hostname >: 9002/reports/rwservlet. But when I found
  on Order FM OEM http:// < hostname >: 7001/em, the State of WLS_FORMS and WLS_REPORTS are down. I can't monitor sessions connected to the server and I can not change the configurations via EM.
  
  Any help is greatly appreciated and sorry for my bad English.
  
  Thank you and best regards,

  Hello

  After a reboot the server I had the same problem, also windows environment. AdminServer but OK/console WLS_FORMS and WLS_REPORTS nothing.

  Process Explorer indicated there are 3 java process for each server that had begun the nodemanager (beasvc)
  Also everything worked very well for end users, but not for the side default where forms and reports where "down".

  I added settings offers and reinstalled the service nodemanger. But always without success.

  Finally I solved it by stopping the servers (WLS_FORMS and WLS_REPORTS) in the / console and by them from the option default (fusion middleware control)

  Everything is 'healthy' and 'OK' again!

  I think that nodemanager and the opmn obtained in a "things are complicated" after the break-up... I mean :) server restart

  Hi Paz,

  Its great you did it works. In the interest of all those who may be blocked with how to map network drives when weblogic or node Manager must be run as a windows service, please go through the below.

  http://download-llnw.Oracle.com/docs/CD/E13222_01/WLS/docs81/notes/resolved_sp05.html

  CR202167
  When beasvc on Win2003 starts a server on a network share, an error occurs is no longer.

  Now the network drive mapping happens within the service itself. The following new settings have been added to the beasvc:

  localName
  RemoteName
  RemoteUser
  RemotePassword
  Usage example:
  -localname: "X:»-remotename:"\\172.17.24.130\src810sp4"- remoteuser:"xyz"- remotepassword:"xyz ".
  You map \\172.17.24.130\src810sp4 to your local computer as X: and the remoteuser and remotepassword are used to connect to the remote computer.

  *******************************************************************************************

  Note: Services Windows runs as a different user session and is not the same as the session of the interactive user used to log on to the computer. Beasvc has therefore to map the drive under this different session and to get all the details in its configuration.

• Oracle Enterprise Manager 12 c SGD Server does not start every time that I reboot

  Hello

  appreciate your help and your advice on this matter.

  I have a box of Oracle VM configured with windows 2008 R2 Server OS.

  Installed Oracle Database 11g, created a database instance and set the requirements to install more Oracle Enterprise Manager 12 c.

  Every time when I reboot my Windows Server 2008, I have a very hard time from the SGD server

  do a few permutations and combinations for the start of services and get the login page of EM 12 c

  Below error is more frequently encountered:-

  E:\EnterpriseMgr\middleware\oms\BIN > emctl start SGD

  Please see E:/EnterpriseMgr/gc_inst/em/EMGC_OMS1\sysman\log\emctl.log for the details of the error

  E:\EnterpriseMgr\middleware\oms\BIN >

  In the services I checked for all the permutations, (start the service automatically / manually / automatic with time delay, etc.) but no permit far.

  Can someone Guide please on a solution to this challenge.

  Before shooting the emctl above of the admin command. Prompt BACK, I always make sure to check the database and Stanley are running - connect to it and query.

  Oracleagent12c1Agent - is also started.

  Also, I tried to stop webtier and restart who.

  emctl stop who and then run emctl start SGD

  This model was used to work earlier, somehow its not working as on this day.

  Technically, I'm not a database / Enterprise Manager Administration background - but an Automation tester.

• Problem: Deployment of the server WL10.3 started as a Windows Service Instance

  Hello world
  
  I sent my J2EE Application to a stand-alone Server Instance WebLogic (in mode of development) has started from the level of command of Windows via startWebLogic.cmd. I also tested the deployment of a managed Server Environment(1 AdminServer+2 MS Servers in the cluster; development mode) cluster, all servers started from the command line. The application could be tested and everything worked fine.
  
  But:
  When I set up the WebLogic Server instances as a Windows service (as described http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs103/server_start/winservice.html) my application cannot be deployed at boot time.
  3 ClassNotFoundExceptions, I get:
  -at the start of the class "DMS-Startup" (oracle.dms.wls.DMSStartup)
  -at the start of the class "ODL-Startup" (oracle.core.ojdl.weblogic.ODLConfiguration)
  -at the start of the class 'Class of startup JPS' (oracle.security.jps.wls.JpsWlsStartupClass)
  
  The Service is started but under Administration Console/deployments the Enterprise Application is marked as 'New' as opposed to 'active '. Other deployments: adf.oracle.domain (1.0, 11.1.1.0.0), (1.2, 1.2.7.1) jsf and jstl (1.2, 1.2.0.1) appear as 'Active'.
  I tried to redeploy the Application directly from the JDeveloper for the autonomous WLS Runspace (one server) - as I did before.
  The deployment has failed:
  [Deployer: 149034] An exception has occurred for task [Deployer: 149026] deploy application... of AdminServer. :.
  weblogic.management.DeploymentException:
  # Incomplete deployment.
  # 25 November 2008 21:58:53
  Deployment failed
  
  Why the deployment on the WLS Instance has started from the command line and why does fail when started as a Windows Service?
  
  I am using WLServer 10.3 and JDeveloper 11 g on Windows Vista operating system - both installed via jdevstudio11110install.exe. My Web Application uses BC and ADF Faces.
  The Windows Service is configured in the following manner in a specific server under the USERDOMAIN_HOME directory script:
  Set DomainName = mydomain
  Set USERDOMAIN_HOME = C:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\domains\mydomain
  Set JAVA_OPTIONS = Dweblogic.Stdout =... Dweblogic.Stderr =...
  MEM_ARGS =-Xms40m - Xmx250m set
  call "C:\Oracle\Middleware\wlserver_10.3\server\bin\installSvc.cmd".
  
  And there is another problem with the Windows Service:
  I'm not able to uninstall the service to a specific server scenario, affecting first the DomainName and the SERVER_NAME = AdminServer and that
  use of the call "C:\Oracle\Middleware\wlserver_10.3\server\bin\uninstallSvc.cmd".
  I must do this directly in the registry.
  Missing something? What's wrong?
  
  Help, please!
  Thank you
  Anita

  Hello

  I had the same problem and made an SR by Oracle. Solution, in the script to create the windows service, you must add a call to the setDomainEnv.cmd before the call to installSvc.cmd.

  ..
  MEM_ARGS =-Xms512m-Xmx512m set
  call "C:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\domains\USER_domain\bin\setDomainEnv.cmd".
  call "C:\Oracle\Middleware\wlserver_10.3\server\bin\installSvc.cmd".
  ENDLOCAL

  It works now, Peter

• OBIEE 11 g "eas" starts is not after the execution of OBIEE as Windows Services

  After having configured AdminServer and BIServer to run as Windows Services, two deployments has not started in WebLogic. One was "bi content server" and the other is 'EE '.

  I had the 'bi content server' to start adding the environment however 'EE' BI_ORACLE_HOME variable still does not start.

  
  Is there an other environment variable must be set to the EAS?

  OBIEE 11.1.1.7.0

  Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise SP1

  You a fix it by adding the path of \Oracle_BI1\products\Essbase\eas\server\bin [middleware_home] in the PATH environment variable in one of the two locations at the end of the line. Either location is acceptable, it is preferably where you place.

  1. In the environment variable PATH for the windows service.

     For example:

     HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\Oracle bifoundation_domain_bi_server1\Parameters\Path

     You can place the path at the end of the string

  2. In the PATH environment variable of the Windows system on the server.

     For example:

     My computer-> properties-> system settings advanced-> Environment Variables

• Start/stop Weblogic administration server

  Hello
  
  I installed Forms 11g in my Pc at home, so it is possible to Start/Stop Weblogic Admin Server and the window which appears, not free to ask me on the user name and password?
  I mean like a bat (script) file, enter the user name and password in a text file
  
  
  If so, also the same in WLS_FORMS?
  
  Thank you.

  Hello Apollo,

  Yes it is possible, just do this:

  Create a file named boot.properties in the DOMAIN_HOME\servers\server_name\security folder

  inside the file, add:

  username = user
  password = VOTRE_MOT_DE_PASSE

  the next time you adminServer or weblogic managed server will encrypt this file, and ask not of user and password :)

• Open Enterprise Manager using the browser on Oracle Linux

  I installed Oracle 10 g Release 2 on Oracle Enterprise (version of Enterprise Linux AS 4 (October 7 update)).
  
  I started the listener and enterprise manager using emctl start dbconsole command successfully.
  
  As I am new to linux, I don't know how to open the url EM Linux.
  
  What browser should I use (exact version that is compatible with the version of Enterprise Linux AS 4 (October update 7).) How do I install the browser and open enterprise manager using the browser.
  I don't even know if any browser is installed during the installation of linux. How can I check if any browser installed or not?

  No one can guess what you have installed or how you have configured your system or the installation of Oracle. The default browser for Oracle Linux 4 is Konqueror, which is not compatible with the MS Oracle dbconsole.

  You might want to try the following:

  Open a Terminal command prompt (System Applications/tools) and enter the following command:

  
  
  su - root
  
  cd /etc/yum.repos.d
  
  wget http://public-yum.oracle.com/public-yum-el4.repo
  
  yum -y install firefox
  
  

  To open a Firefox browser window, open the Web icon in the Menu, next to the Actions or the Applications/Internet or type firefox in an X 11 terminal window.

  The default URL for the dbconsole EM is:

• Oracle Enterprise Manager (OEM) 12 c Cloud Control is broken after a reboot

  People,

  I use Oracle Enterprise Manager (OEM) 12 c Cloud Control version 12.1.0.3.  It was all work until we rebooted the box.

  Now, nothing is listening on the port 7801 more (by netstat), but if I put port 7302 instead in the browser's address bar, it'll take me actually to the OEM login page.  Once I'm connected, many things show that there are problems with communication between WHO and the agents.

  The shutdown process was not very successful and cleaning, shown below.  There was a lot of java still running process that I had to kill.

  This seems like a simple question, because we didn't change anything except adding memory to the box and restart.

  Is there anyone experiencing the same problem?  Is there any solution to this?

  Brian,

  Can you access the console on https://oraaux1:7801 / em now?

  And, you are able to start the agent by running $AGENT_HOME/bin/emctl status agent?

  Regarding your initial post, is also the repository on the same host? If so, the problem could be due to the repository database was not entirely upwards when WHO launched on the reboot of the host system (gcstartup) startup script.

  When the SGC does not work as expected, you can take a look at SGD/monitoring of log files for clues. If necessary, please see:

• taking a jra recording on a windows service - 'not enough memory is available.

  
  How can I start a JRA recording on a WebLogic domain run as a windows service?
  
  If I run jrcmd, it doesn't relate the process id. If I look to the top of the process id and run jrcmd on the process id, I get a message:
  "Not enough memory is available to process this command."
  
  The service runs on an administrator account. I am connected with the same credentials. I use jrcmd because the option to make a recording of latency does not appear to me in the form of mission control. I'm using jrmc - 3.0.3 - 1.4.2.
  
  Thank you
  
  

  You can start only records of Mission control latency, if you are using JDK 1.5 +, then you can use jrcmd. I don't know why jrcmd does not work for you, but as a workaround that you can try to start a recording by connecting to the JVM on the network. That's what you have to do:

  (1) JRockit start with -Xmanagement: port = 7090

  (2) Mission control create a connection in the browser of the JVM, start the Management Console and go to the page of the MBean browser

  (3) select the com.jrockit.RMPBean. Select operations and call the operation with the name runCtrlBreakHandler (String handlerName). Enter something similar to this:

  latency filename=c:\myrecordings\recording.jra startjrarecording = true latencythreshold = recordingtime = 30s 20ms

  Cllck OK and wait for the recording to finish. Open the record using the file-> Open

• Vista problem: "failed to connect to the windows service, Windows cannot connect to the system event.

  I have reported this problem on my PC at home that connects to the internet. My laptop runs Vista Home Premium and I can't connect to the internet.

Could not connect, and after this initial test, the following is displayed after the start of "failed to connect to the Windows Service, Windows cannot connect to the system event notification service. This problem prevents limited users to logon to the system. As administratvie user, you can view the system event log to see why the service did not respond. "(have no idea how or what it means) when I go to the task bar you want to connect to a network, it is said:" the dependency service or group could not start"and if I go ahead and press"connect to a network"it says it can't find.  I search for computers on the network (who I'm sitting next to) and then try to diagnose the problem and it cannot. I have limited knowledge of this type of problem. Anyone have this problem and how to fix it?

  Hi ptkein,

  Thanks for posting your question on the Forums of Windows Vista.

  Option 1: You can download and install the latest network card drivers and see if that can solve the problem.

  Option 2: Follow the link below to fix network connection problems

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/troubleshoot-network-connection-problems

  Option 3: Follow the link below to solve Internet connection problems

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/troubleshoot-Internet-connection-problems

  Option 4: To verify if a third party application is a cause, follow this link (http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/Advanced-startup-options-including-safe-mode) for this boot to the desktop using the safe mode with networking option and try to install the network. If the problem is resolved, you will need to perform a clean boot by following the steps in the following article to refine the exact source and isolate it: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135

  Let me know if it worked.

  Hope it will be useful.
