To automate the start/stop of Oracle WLS managed instances like HTML,BSSV, RTE, AIS using JDE UBE which can be placed on Scheduler.
1. Create an Orchestration using REST API and call Orchestration using B98ORCH function. Oracle has provided Server Manager REST APIs to stop/start the instance such as startinstance, stopinstance. Either of the REST API's will be triggered using orchestration.
2. Used dedicated AIS instance to run the start-stop orchestration
3. Created softcoding recoding for this new AIS instance mapped to user responsible for executing the UBE in scheduler for that environment.
4. New UBE calls the B98ORCH which in turn checks the soft coding record and invokes the orchestration on that dedicated AIS instance both for stopping as well as starting the WLS instances
5. Challenges faced: Cross environment mappings to stop PD servers from Non PD instances and sleep times between restarts of each server
6.Benefits: Eliminated manual intervention/errors in stop and start of servers and automation allowed to run the restarts during non business hours.
