From now to next few sessions I will be discussuing very important product from DBA’s prespective i.e. AD <\/strong>also called as A<\/strong>pplication D<\/strong>BA ( \ud83d\ude09 I think its named AD after Application DBA )<\/p>\n

AD_TOP<\/strong> is product in Aplication which is under directory APPL_TOP\/ad\/11.5.0 ( If you are not familiar with TOP please read my previous post about TOP’s<\/span><\/strong> )<\/p>\n

This top containin Utilities & program code which is very frequently used by DBA’s . So where are these utilities or program in file system ? (I think you all know but for begineers its in AD_TOP\/bin )<\/p>\n

Lets see one line definition of each<\/p>\n

AD Utility ?<\/strong>
AD Utilities are a group of tools designed to install, upgrade, maintain, and patch applications.<\/p>\n

ADPATCH<\/strong> ?
is a utility that is used to apply individual patches, mini-packs, or maintenance packs to an Oracle Applications instance.<\/p>\n

ADADMIN ?<\/strong>
AD Administration (adadmin) is used performs maintenance\/administration tasks on an Oracle Appls Instance. Task associated with adadmin are divided into two broad categories database and file system task.<\/p>\n

ADCTRL ?<\/strong>
Utility to determine status of worker (started by adpatch , adadmin or other ad utility) and to control ( restart\/drop\/skip) workers.<\/p>\n

ADRELINK ?<\/strong>
Used to relink apps executables with product libraries , if some library defination is changed or executable is corrupted.<\/p>\n

ADMRGPCH ?<\/strong>
To merge different patches & create single patch . This is helpful when you have too many patches , you can merge them & apply in one shot.<\/p>\n

ADCLONE ?<\/strong>
Utility to clone Insatnce from Test to Prod , Vice Versa<\/p>\n

ADCONFIG ?<\/strong>
To configure different components in Aplications like changing port number or domainname or incresing number of JVM’s<\/p>\n

ADIDENT ?<\/strong>
utility to find version of a file in oracle applications (Identification )<\/p>\n

ADLICMGR ?<\/strong>
To license a product in applications , you might have license to use only 10 products initially then later decided to use 5 more so license them first by this utility<\/p>\n

ADSPLICE ?<\/strong>
You add a product in application, by default you might have 90-105 ( may be more ) products like AP, GL, AR and now oracle released one more product so add this product using this utility .<\/p>\n

This is overview & usages of each application DBA Utility , now in next topic I will start with patching & how these utilities are used & options available with them . If you are amazed\/confused whats this patching donot worry I will explain in deatil but if you are a DBA you might already be knowing patching & might have applied coupel of database patches using opatch <\/strong>now lets use ADPATCH <\/strong>to apply application or apps patches.<\/p>\n

Donot forget to leave your comment & feedback .<\/strong>
