Start, Restart and stop OHS Components

In Fusion Middleware 12c the Oracle HTTP Server is now configured as SystemComponents within a Weblogic Domain. This can be embedded in a FMW Domain, like SOA, OSB, or WebCenter.  Or it can be in a stand alone domain.

When configured, there are scripts to start and stop the system components in the bin folder of the domain: startComponent.sh and stopComponent.sh.

These scripts first do a readDomain() to read the domain before actually starting or stopping the component. An OHS Standalone Domain is not that large, but does take a few seconds. With an embedded OHS it can actually a quite expensive operation. And is done twice when you need to stop and start a component. And that per component.

So, this can be smarter. Yesterday, I created a script that first looks for a property in the property file, that lists the possible components as a comma seperated list. It only does a readDomain() when that property is not defined.

The property file ohs.properties contains:

main();

It uses a startStopOption that can have the values:

  • start
  • restart
  • stop
Based on that, it determines if the components need to be stopped, and/or, started again.

So, this time I only have one wlst script. I could make my weblogic server start scripts smarter the same way...

To start the ohs you can use startOhs.sh:
#!/bin/bash
. ./ohs12c_env.sh
echo
echo Start OHS
wlst.sh ./startStopOhs.py  start -loadProperties ohs.properties

To restart the ohs you can use restartOhs.sh:
#!/bin/bash
. ./ohs12c_env.sh
echo
echo Restart OHS
wlst.sh ./startStopOhs.py  restart -loadProperties ohs.properties

And to stop the ohs you can use stopOhs.sh:
#!/bin/bash
. ./ohs12c_env.sh
echo
echo Stop OHS
wlst.sh ./startStopOhs.py  stop -loadProperties ohs.properties

With a OHS Standalone domain, you probably have stored the nodemanager credentials once with the storeConfig option. In that case you can remove the credentials in the nmConnnect line:
  #nmConnect(username=adminUser, password=adminPwd, host=nmHost, port=nmPort, domainName=wlsDomainName, domainDir=wlsDomainHome, nmType=nmType)
  nmConnect(host=nmHost, port=nmPort, domainName=wlsDomainName, domainDir=wlsDomainHome, nmType=nmType)

For a standalone OHS the ohs12c_env.sh script contains:
#!/bin/bash
echo set OHS StandAlone 12cR2 environment
#export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk1.8.0_101
#export ORACLE_BASE=/app/oracle
export ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle
export OHS_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/product/middleware/OHS12212
export WL_HOME=${OHS_HOME}/wlserver
export SHARED_CONFIG_DIR=/u01/data/oracle/config
export OHS_DOMAIN_NAME=ohs_domain
export OHS_DOMAIN_HOME=$SHARED_CONFIG_DIR/domains/$OHS_DOMAIN_NAME
export NODEMGR_HOME=$OHS_DOMAIN_HOME/nodemanager
#
echo Set Weblogic Common Env.
. $OHS_HOME/oracle_common/common/bin/commEnv.sh
#
export PATH=$OHS_HOME/oracle_common/common/bin:$PATH
