Dear Community,

We had to update the IFS application with a new database connection details.

So we deleted the instance using installer and the created a new instance.

After creating the new instance i just noticed that the inventory.xml file doesn’t contain record of middleware mws and http oracle homes.

I think I need to execute  below scripts to attach Oracle Homes.

\\<IFS_HOME>\mw_home\mws\oui\bin\attachHome.cmd

\\<IFS_HOME>\mw_home\http\oui\bin\attachHome.cmd

 

Would it be possible to know whether it is normal to not to create those records in inventory.xml when creating a new instance from installer.

Do we need to run the scripts to create those missing lines of the inventory.xml after each new instance creation.

We would highly appreciate your comments on this.

Thank you in Advance.

 

It is not normal to find that the mws and http oracle homes not available in Oracle inventory .xml file.

Could you confirm that your new IFS application instance works without any issue?

 

 

Hi @MitDenukN,

As @Jagath Kandambi has mentioned above, Oracle homes should be registered in the Oracle Central Inventory. The purpose of the Oracle Central Inventory is to track all the Oracle installations that reside on the server.  You might run into issues when doing reconfigurations/installations, but other than that, I think the IFS MWS should work fine. However, it is better to check and verify. 

We have seen similar issues in IFSAPP9 with Oracle Central Inventory. You can run the attachHome and detachHome scripts as mentioned to create the records in the XML file.

Hope this helps!

Hi @Jagath Kandambi, Thank you for looking into this, yes, I can confirm the new instance is working fine without any issues.

Hi @Charith Epitawatta, Thank you for your comment and sure will attach them again using the scripts.
