Link the Oracle EBS AppsTier from the standby server

This task links the AppsTier from the standby/intermediate server

Prerequisites

• You must run the perl adpreclone.pl AppsTier on the Primary AppsTier server and sync the run file system of the primary AppsTier with Standby or Intermediate server before every SnapSync of the AppsTier on Standby or Intermediate server.

• When linking AppsTier from a standby server, the EBS connector will not execute adpreclone.pl command. Hence the responsibility of running the perl adpreclone.pl AppsTier command on the primary server lies with the user.

To configure the AppsTier, complete steps 1 to 12 in the Linking the AppsTier from the primary server

1. In the AppsTier linking wizard, select the AppsTier SNAPSYNC from Standby/Intermediate Server check box that is associated with the dynamic UI input fields. By default, it is unset.
   

   In engine versions below 14.0.0.0, the UI input fields are static. In engine versions 14.0.0.0 or above the UI input fields are dynamic, meaning, when we set the AppsTier SNAPSYNC from Standby/Intermediate Server check box, the new input fields are displayed, otherwise, these fields are hidden.

2. On the primary server, to retrieve the values of these input fields, run the following query:
   source EBSapps.env RUN
echo $RUN_BASE

3. If the Primary source and standby/intermediate server have the same directory structure, enter the $RUN_BASE value in the Input absolute path of AppsTier Run Base UI field. Otherwise, complete the absolute path of the RUN file system from the standby/intermediate server.

4. To retrieve the AD/TXK code level, run the SQL query below using the APPS schema on the primary server.
   select 'PATCH_LEVEL : ' ||PATCH_LEVEL from apps.fnd_product_installations where PATCH_LEVEL like 'R12.AD.%';
   The user can input AD/TXK CodeLevel in mentioned format, e.g. - C.15 or R12.AD.C.15.

5. If the primary server has integrated SOA gateway with EBS, it is mandatory to enter the ISGADMIN password. Else, leave the field blank.

6. Run the query below to retrieve the ISGADMIN password.
   select fnd_vault.get('ISG','ISGADMIN') from dual;

7. If the above query returns zero rows, EBSISG is not implemented.

8. Click Next.

9. On the dSource Configuration page, enter a dSource Name.

10. Select a Target Group for the dataset. Adding a dataset to a target group enables you to set Delphix Domain user permissions for dataset objects, such as snapshots.

11. Click Next to select policies.

12. Select a SnapSync policy.

13. Click Next to move to data management. No changes are required on this page.

14. Click Next to review the dSource Configuration and Data Management information, and then click Submit.

15. Review the dSource Configuration and Data Management information, and then click Submit. The DCT will initiate a job to create the dSource. You can monitor these jobs by clicking Admin > Operations.

Scenario 1: The Primary AppsTier server role is switched to the Standby server

In case the AppsTier was linked from a server that was primary but is switched to a standby server, to continue utilizing the same server through Standby ingestion, follow the steps below:

1. Select the AppsTier dsource dataset, go to Configuration >Custom, and click the Pencil icon to edit the settings.

2. Tick the AppsTier SNAPSYNC from Standby/Intermediate Server check box.

3. Enter the RUN BASE path and the AD/TXK Code Level field values to enable the ingestion from the standby server. Follow steps 3 to 8 in the Linking the AppsTier from the standby/intermediate server

4. Take a snapshot of the dSource.

Scenario 2: Standby AppsTier server role is switched to Primary AppsTier

If the AppsTier was linked from a server that was standby/intermediate but is switched to a primary server, to continue utilizing the same server through primary ingestion, follow the steps below:

1. Select the AppsTier dsource dataset, go to Configuration >Custom, and click the Pencil icon to edit the settings.

2. Uncheck the AppsTier SNAPSYNC from Standby/Intermediate Server check box.

3. Take a snapshot of the dSource.
