Deploying Oracle9iAS Syndication Server

This appendix describes the requirements for Oracle9iAS Syndication Server and how to manually deploy Syndication Server into the J2EE (OC4J) environment. This information is provided only if you must manually deploy Syndication Server.

Typically, during an installation of Oracle9iAS Portal, Syndication Server is installed and deployed. You need to follow these steps for manual deployment of Syndication Server only in the event that Syndication Server is not already deployed.

Requirements

The following requirements are assumed to be installed and running:

• The Syndication Server database schema has already been installed with the Oracle9iAS repository.

• The Oracle9iAS instance is up and running (with OC4J).

• JDK version 1.3.1 is already installed and available in the path.

• Check the JDK version by running the following command:

  java -version
  
  

• The syndserver.ear file is located in the following directory:

  <$ORACLE_IASHOME>/syndication/j2ee/
  

Deploying Syndication Server to the J2EE (OC4J) Environment

The following instructions deploy Syndication Server to the J2EE (OC4J) environment:

1. Run the following Java command to deploy Syndication Server to the J2EE (OC4J) environment:

   java -jar admin.jar ormi://<your-ias-host-name>:<rmi-port> adminuser 
   adminpwd -deploy -file $IAS_HOME/syndication/j2ee/syndserver.ear 
   -deploymentName <application-deployment-name> 
   
   

   Sample output appears as follows:

   Auto-unpacking $IAS_HOME/j2ee/home/applications/_syndserver.ear... done.
   Auto-unpacking $IAS_HOME/j2ee/home/applications/_syndserver/syndserver.war... done.
   Auto-deploying YourAppName (New server version detected)...
   

2. Run the following Java command to bind Syndication Server with the Web application for OC4J:

   java -jar admin.jar ormi://<your-ias-host-name>:<rmi-port> adminuser adminpwd -bindWebApp 
   <application-deployment-name> syndserver <web-site-name>/syndserver
   

   Note: The name <application-deployment-name> specified in Step 1 and Step 2 must be the same name.

   By default <web-site-name> is the Oracle default default-web-site.

   When you invoke the following URL, the Syndication Server information appears in a browser window to indicate that Syndication Server is up and running:

   http://<your-host-name>:<your-port-number>/syndserver/OSS
