2.6 o pmnctl

The Oracle Process Manager and Notification Server Control Utility (opmnctl) enables you to manage Oracle Application Server components in an integrated way. If you use it to start an Oracle Internet Directory server, then you do not need to separately start Oracle Internet Directory Monitor or the directory-designated database. Instead, opmnctl starts those components for you.

Note:

This section only discusses how to use the OPMN Control Utility to start and stop Oracle Internet Directory servers. For detailed information on how to use the OPMN Control Utility, see Oracle Process Manager and Notification Server Administrator's Guide.

You can use opmnctl to do the following:

Start and stop a default, that is, out-of-the-box, Oracle Internet Directory server instance.
On a given node, stop, then restart, all running Oracle Internet Directory servers—that is, directory servers, directory replication server, and directory integration and provisioning server.

Once you have used opmnctl to start the default directory server, you cannot then use it to start or stop a particular instance of an Oracle Internet Directory server. To start or stop particular instances, use oidctl. See "oidctl".
