Starting Oracle Infrastructure

I use the Linux AS 3 for the operating system of my Oracle Application Server. The Oracle Application Server is used for oracle form and report server and oracle internet directory (OID). The oracle internet directory is used for Lightweight Directory Access Protocl (LDAP). For these need I use Oracle Infrastructure and Oracle Forms Reports Server.

Now lets see how to start.
First, I start the Oracle Infrastructure
Login to the operating system as Oracle,
then it need the environtment like the below:

# Environment for Oracle Infrastructure
umask 022
export ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle
export ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/infra
export OH=$ORACLE_HOME
export PATH=$PATH:$OH/bin:$OH/opmn/bin:$OH/dcm/bin
export ORACLE_SID=asdb
export ORACLE_TERM=xterm
export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$OH/lib:/lib/user/lib:/usr/local/lib
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

You may change the path with your own local setting.
Below are the steps to start Oracle Infrastructure:
1. Then first step is start the database used by the OID

$ sqlplus "/as sysdba"

Connected to an idle instance.

SQL> startup

SQL> exit

2. Then start the listener

$ lsnrctl start

The command completed successfully

3. Start the opmnctl

$ opmnctl startall

4. Check the status to make sure, with this command line:

$ opmnctl status

Processes in Instance: infra.appserver.plitasoft.com
-------------------+--------------------+-------+---------
ias-component | process-type | pid | status
-------------------+--------------------+-------+---------
OID | OID | 5016 | Alive
OC4J | OC4J_SECURITY | 5090 | Alive
HTTP_Server | HTTP_Server | 5010 | Alive
dcm-daemon | dcm-daemon | N/A | Down
LogLoader | logloaderd | N/A | Down

From the table above we can see the status for OID is Alive.
So we have successed to start the Oracle Infrastructure
