This appendix provides examples of administrative changes that can be performed on an Oracle Application Server environment. It is a companion to Part IV, "Backup and Recovery" in this book, and to the Disaster Recovery and Active Failover Cluster sections in Oracle Application Server 10g High Availability Guide.
It contains the following topics:
Some administrative operations cause configuration changes to your Oracle Application Server environment. These are called administrative changes, and include deploying and undeploying applications, changing the topology, changing ports, creating and deleting users, and changing passwords. As an administrator, you should be aware when administrative changes occur, because you may need to back up your environment or perform some synchronization procedures.
This appendix provides examples of administrative changes, listed by component. You can use this as a guide for performing the following procedures:
Backup and Recovery
Oracle recommends you perform a backup after each administrative change to your environment. You can use this appendix to determine the types of administrative changes that require you to back up your environment.
Disaster Recovery Synchronization Between the Primary and Standby Sites
When you implement Disaster Recovery, you must update standby sites when you make an administrative change to your environment. You can use this appendix to determine the types of administrative changes that require you to update your standby sites.
Active Failover Cluster (AFC) Infrastructure File Synchronization Between Different Nodes of the Hardware Cluster
If you use Active Failover Cluster, you must keep the files in the different nodes in the AFC in sync. You can use this appendix to determine the types of administrative changes that require to you to synchronize your AFC nodes.
Table G-1 provides examples of administrative changes, by component. Consult your component documentation to learn more about these operations.
