Oracle A54857-03 - Manual (Page 69)

Starting and Stopping the Listener A-3
• If CARTRIDGE or cartridge is supplied, it shows the current status of
cartridge processes, such as wrbfac.
-e
This option exclusively starts/stops the WRB processes. When you use this
option to start/stop the WRB, the NCX (ORB) processes are not started/stopped.
Environment
To use owsctl, you must have the following environment variables set:
• ORAWEB_HOME - Absolute path where Oracle Web Application Server
is installed.
• ORAWEB_SITE - This is the site name for the Oracle Web Application
Server.
• ORACLE_HOME - ORACLE_HOME is the absolute path where you
install Oracle products.
WRB, ORB and Cartridge Processes
The Web Request Broker (WRB), Object Request Broker (ORB), and cartridge
processes coordinate the distributed interprocess communications for Oracle
Web Application Server 3.0.1.
The ORB processes are: mnaddrsrv, mnrpcnmsrv, and mnorbsrv. Run the ORB
processes with NCX or ncx. You should run these processes before you start the
WRB processes. To start the ORB processes, use:
owsctl start ncx
If you want to exclusively start the WRB processes without the ORB processes,
use:
owsctl start -e wrb
The WRB Oracle Web Logger process, wrblog, can be started individually and
executed with multiple instances.
When a cartridge execution request is entered, wrbfac starts one or more child
processes, wrbc, to execute the cartridge. Start the cartridge process after all
WRB processes are started and running on a primary machine.
The cartridges can run on the same primary machine as the WRB processes, or
they can run on a remote machine. Multiple cartridge processes can be run on
the same machine.
