Few years ago, When I started learning Oracle Internet Directory I jumped directly on administration of OID<\/span> (including start\/stop and debugging) without understanding basics of OID<\/span>. My suggestion is to go through basics first which I am going to cover in this post.<\/p>\n

For my first post on OID<\/span> visit OID<\/span> from Apps DBA’s<\/span> eye<\/a><\/p>\n

Need of Oracle Internet Directory ?<\/strong>
\nUse of Oracle Internet Directory (Oracle’s LDAP<\/span>) is much bigger and can’t be explained in this post but here is few bits which you is enough for time being (to get you started on OID<\/span>).<\/em><\/span>
\n—OID<\/span> is repository for enterprise users, groups<\/strong> data.
\n–Information about various applications (Portal, BI, E-Business Suite, Collaboration Suite) registered to OID<\/span> (You can register E-Business Suite or Database in OID<\/span><\/strong><\/span>).
\n–Password policy for Single Sign-On Partner Applications<\/p>\n

What are different Daemon\/Server in OID<\/span> ?<\/strong>
\nThere are three servers\/daemon in OID<\/span><\/p>\n

—OIDLDAPD<\/span> – <\/strong>This is the main server\/daemon waiting for ldap<\/span> request (ldapsearch<\/span>, ldapadd<\/span>, ldapmodify<\/span>, ldapdelete<\/span>..). When any application want to do any ldap<\/span> operation<\/em><\/strong>(add, modify, delete, search..) on OID<\/span><\/em><\/strong> object<\/em><\/strong> (user, group, application..), that request is fulfilled by this server\/daemon.
\n
\n—ODISRV<\/span><\/strong> – also called as Oracle Directory Integration Server, this is used for integration of Various Application (Portal, BI, E-Business Suite\/Apps) with OID<\/span> for user\/group data. If any user\/group<\/strong> is added\/deleted in Portal\/BI synchronization of that user to OID<\/span> is done by this Daemon (Vice Versa<\/span>). If you have Integrated Apps(11i\/R12) with OID<\/span>\/SSO<\/span> then users is provisioned\/de-provisioned<\/span> using this daemon of OID<\/span><\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n

—OIDREPLD<\/span><\/strong> – Also called as OID<\/span> Replication Daemon is used if you have replicated OID<\/span>. By default this daemon is disabled.

How to Start\/Stop OID<\/span> ?<\/strong>
\nOID<\/span> Data including status of OID<\/span> Servers (OIDLAPD<\/span>, ODISRV<\/span> OIDREPLD<\/span>) is stored in Oracle Database so in order to start OID<\/span> first start Database and Database Listener. Then
\nTo Start OID<\/span> – opmnctl<\/span> startproc<\/span> ias<\/span>-component=OID<\/span><\/em><\/strong>
\nTo Stop OID<\/span> – opmnctl<\/span> stopproc<\/span> ias<\/span>-component=OID<\/span><\/em><\/strong>OPMNCTL<\/span> will first start OIDMON<\/span><\/strong> (OID<\/span> Monitoring Process<\/span>) and then instruct OIDCTL<\/span><\/strong> (OID<\/span> Control) to start OIDLDAPD<\/span><\/strong> and ODISRV<\/span><\/strong> daemons.<\/em><\/strong>Where to find log files related to OID<\/span> ?<\/strong>
\nLogs related to OIDMON<\/span>, OIDCTL<\/span>, OIDLDAPD<\/span> should be in $ORACLE_HOME\/ldap<\/span>\/log<\/strong> directory , ODISRV<\/span> related logs should be in $ORACLE_HOME\/ldap<\/span>\/ODI<\/span>\/log<\/strong><\/p>\n
