Step-by-Step Guide to Creating a New Forms Server in EBS R12.2

By -

In this guide, we will walk you through the steps to add and manage a new managed server in Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS). This process involves creating the managed server, updating configuration files, and starting the server.

1. Creating a Managed Server

To create a new managed server, execute the following command. This will create the managed server and add a new entry to the context file, enabling you to start and stop the server using the adstrtal and adstpall scripts: 

$ perl /patch/115/bin/adProvisionEBS.pl \
ebs-create-managedserver -contextfile=$CONTEXT_FILE \
-managedsrvname=MANAGED_SERVER_NAME -servicetype=forms \
-managedsrvport=MANAGED_SERVER_PORT -logfile=LOGFILE

For example, to create a forms_server4 with port 7405:

$ perl $AD_TOP/patch/115/bin/adProvisionEBS.pl \
ebs-create-managedserver -contextfile=$CONTEXT_FILE \
-managedsrvname=forms_server4 -servicetype=forms \
-managedsrvport=7405 -logfile=$APPLRGF/TXK/addMS_formsserver4.log


2. Updating Configuration Files

Execute the following command to add details of the newly added managed servers into the OHS configuration files mod_wl_ohs.conf and apps.conf on the current node: 

$ perl /patch/115/bin/txkSetAppsConf.pl -contextfile=$context_file \
-configoption=addMS -forms=testserver.example.com:7205

For example, to add details for forms_server4:

$ perl $FND_TOP/patch/115/bin/txkSetAppsConf.pl -contextfile=$CONTEXT_FILE \
-configoption=addMS -forms=vetebs.com:7405

3. Starting the Managed Server

Start the new managed server using the following command:

$ sh /admanagedsrvctl.sh start 

sh admanagedsrvctl.sh start forms_server4

4. Restarting Apache

$ cd $ADMIN_SCRIPTS_HOME

./adapcctl.sh stopall
./adapcctl.sh startall

5. Running fs_clone

adop phase=fs_clone

DELETING FORMS SERVER

Stop the Managed Server

Stop the new managed server using the following command:

$ sh /admanagedsrvctl.sh stop 

sh admanagedsrvctl.sh stop forms_server4

If you need to delete a managed server, execute the following commands:

Example:

$ perl $AD_TOP/patch/115/bin/adProvisionEBS.pl \
ebs-delete-managedserver -contextfile=$CONTEXT_FILE \
-managedsrvname=forms_server4 -servicetype=forms \
 -logfile=$APPLRGF/TXK/deleteMS_formsserver4.log


$ perl $FND_TOP/patch/115/bin/txkSetAppsConf.pl -contextfile=$CONTEXT_FILE \
-configoption=removeMS -forms= vetebs.com:7405

Running fs_clone

adop phase=fs_clone
