Creating, Copying, and Managing OC4J Instances - Using the Application Server Control (
Page 2 of 7 )
Using the Application Server Control is the recommended way to create a new OC4J instance. You can create a new OC4J instance using the Application Server Control by following these steps:
- Go the System Components table and click the Create OC4J Instance button, which is shown in the upper right-hand corner of Figure 8-1.
- Provide a name for the new OC4J instance in the page that comes up.
- Click the Create button.
- Application Server Control will confirm that the new OC4J instance was created.
When you create a new OC4J instance, either through the dcmctl utility or through the Application Server Control, a new directory will be created with the name of the new OC4J instance under the $ORACLE_HOME/j2ee directory. In our case (refer to the OC4J creation example using the dcmctl utility), this directory’s name would be OC4J_Test.
