How to register Oracle Instance with Weblogic using OPMN

Hi All, writing something about OPMN utility with oracle instance and Weblogic.

WebLogic Server– Weblogic is J2EE application Server for entire Oracle stack.

Oracle Instance – Oracle Instance contains one or more system components like HTTP Server, Application Server, OBIEE, OAM and OID.

Oracle Instance Directory contains files like configuration files, log files. Oracle Instance directory and Oracle Home Directory are different from each other and can reside inside or outside Middleware Home.

OPMN– Oracle Process Manager and Notification Server is management & notification server for system component (like HTTP Server, OBIEE, OAM, and OID).

OPMN manages all Oracle Application Server components except the Application Server Control Console.

OPMN enables you to explicitly manage Oracle HTTP Server and Oracle Containers for J2EE (OC4J).

OPMN also enables you to manage all of the Oracle Application Server server instances in your grid environment.

opmnctl – opmnctl is a utility to start/stop and manage system components in Application Server/Fusion Middleware 11g.

In Fusion Middleware 11g, opmnctl command resides here:-

$ORACLE_HOME/opmn/bin and $ORACLE_INSTANCE/bin

Integration of Oracle Instance with WebLogic Server Domain – If you want to manage system components (like HTTP Server, OBIEE, OAM, OID) using Fusion Middleware Control Console (/em) then you have to register ORACLE_INSTANCE with Weblogic Server Domain.

Register Oracle Instance with WebLogic Server Domain –

Have to use opmnctl from INSTANCE_HOME to register Oracle Instance with WebLogic Server instance.

$INSTANCE_HOME/bin/opmnctl registerinstance -adminhost -adminport
