opmnctl Command Quick Reference
4-4 Oracle Fusion Middleware Oracle Process Manager and Notification Server Administrators Guide
The target attributes of ias-instance, ias-component, process-type, and process-set may be specified in a hierarchical manner, with an ias-instance, a
single ias-component within that ias-instance, a single process-type within the ias-component, and a single process-set within the process-type. Any of
these attributes may be omitted, and treated as a wildcard process-set is omitted, for example, then all process-sets under the specified process-type matches the
request.
The target attributes may also be specified in a list of a single hierarchical type a list of ias-components, for example.
Table 4–2 opmnctl Attribute Names and Values
Attribute Name Attribute Values
ias-instance Value should be the same as the value for the id attribute for the
ias-instance element in the opmn.xml file. ias-component
Value should be the same as the value for the id attribute for the ias-component element in the opmn.xml file.
process-type Value should be the same as the value for the id attribute for the
process-type element in the opmn.xml file. process-set
Value should be the same as the value for the id attribute for the process-set element in the opmn.xml file.
mode Value can either be sync or async. The default value is sync,
meaning that this request operates synchronously, and waits for the operation to complete before returning. async indicates that the
request returns immediately, while OPMN continues to perform the request until the operation finishes.
timeout This can only be specified in sync mode. The value is in seconds. After
this timeout expires, OPMN does not continue to perform the request for startproc operations. The request does continue for
restartproc and stopproc operations. The timeout attribute overrides the configured timeout value for the request to take for each
ias-instance, ias-component, process-type, and process-set value.
uniqueid This value is assigned by OPMN after starting up. You can use this
value when you execute the opmnctl restartproc and opmnctl stopproc commands.
sequential If the value of the sequential attribute is true, each process or
application targeted by the request is acted upon sequentially one at a time. The request order of affected managed-process dependencies
is honored.
report If the value of the report attribute is true, OPMN reports the results
of each part of the request as it completes as each process starts, for example. The default behavior is for OPMN to wait until the entire
request has completed before sending all of the results at once.
Note: If Oracle Internet Directory is managed by OPMN and an
Oracle Internet Directory dependency not a managed-process dependency for Oracle Internet Directory is encountered as part of
the request, and the request is expected to start both Oracle Internet Directory processes such as an opmnctl startall request, the
Oracle Internet Directory process will not start unless it has been configured in the opmn.xml file previously. Otherwise, the request
times out with an Oracle Internet Directory dependency failure.
