Modified: 26-Sep-2013 Type: HOWTO

APPLIES TO:

Oracle Applications Technology Stack - Version 12.0.0 to 12.1.3 [Release 12.0 to 12.1] Information in this document applies to any platform.

Checked for relevance on 27-JAN-2013

GOAL

What is the purpose of each of the variables defined in the context file?

SOLUTION

This note gives list of Context Variables with details in short for Oracle Applications Release 12.

A) Context Information:

B) Applications system information:

C) System Configurations (oa_system_config) :

Variable Title OA_VAR Value

Context Name s_contextname Name of the context, which is of the form <DB_SID>_<HOSTNAME>.

Context Serial s_contextserial This value is automatically updated each time the context

variable values are updated through the Oracle Applications Manager.

Context Type s_contexttype Type of the context - whether it is an Applications context or a Database context.

Location of the Applications Context File s_contextfile Location of the Applications context file.


System Name s_systemname Name of the Oracle Applications system which this context points to.

Database SID s_dbSid Database SID for the system.

Database Name s_dbGlnam Global Database name for the system. The value of this

variable shall be the same as the Database SID on non-RAC environments. On RAC-environments, this name would be the same for all cluster nodes while the Database SID would

be different for each cluster node.

Database SID in Lower Case s_dbSidLower Database SID in lower case for the system.


Apps Environment Name s_appsEnvName Name of the Applications Environment.

TIER_DB s_isDB YES/NO, denoting if Database Server is enabled in this

context.

TIER_ADMIN s_isAdmin YES/NO denoting if Admin Server is enabled in this context

TIER_WEB s_isWeb YES/NO denoting if Web Server is enabled in this context

TIER_FORMS s_isForms YES/NO denoting if Forms Server is enabled in this context

TIER_FORMSDEV s_isFormsDev YES/NO denoting if Forms Server is enabled in this context

TIER_NODE s_isConc YES/NO denoting if Concurrent Processing Server is enabled

in this context

TIER_NODEDEV s_isConcDev YES/NO denoting if Concurrent Processing Server is enabled

in this context

TechStack Config Option s_techstack This is automatically supplied to Autoconfig. Since R12 supports only the 10.1.3 techstack, this variable can take

only the value 'as1013'.

Automatic NetService Files Generation Config Option s_tnsmode The tnsnames.ora file is generated from the database when

this option is set to 'generateTNS'.

Applications version s_apps_version This stores the applications version.

Apache mode s_apache_mode This variable is used to specify whether Apache should be run in the 'Normal' mode or in the 'Restricted' mode. Apache Restricted Mode is used when Oracle Applications need to

be brought down for maintenance purposes. In this mode, during downtime normal users would be redirected to a standard 'downtime' URL displaying the downtime details

while the privileged users like System Administrators would be able to monitor patches through OAM. This variable should be in sync with 's_restricted_mode_comment'. For

of 11Document 458282.1

D) Users (oa_users):

E) Customer Info(customer_info):

F) Language Settings(nls_settings):

G) Applications Configuration(oa_shared_config):

running Apache in the NORMAL mode set this variable to

NORMAL and 's_restricted_mode_comment' to #. For RESTRICT mode set this variable to RESTRICT and 's_restricted_mode_comment' to null value.

IAS version s_ias_version This variable stores the Oracle Application Server version.


Database 'SYS' User s_sys_user The database 'SYS' user

Default Territory s_defterr Defines the NLS territory which determines cultural conventions such as local time, date, numeric, and

monetary conventions. By default, this value is set to 'America'.

Base Language s_base_lang Base Language for the Oracle Applications System. By

default, this variable is set to 'American English'. For a list of all supported languages, please refer to the Oracle Applications Installation Manual.

Environment Languages s_env_langs The variable was created to contain the list of all languages supported on the particular environment. This should have

includes the Base Language as well as all the Installed Languages. However, this context variable is never updated when support is added for new languages. Hence, this

context variable value is not in sync with the actual list of languages supported on the R12 instance, thus leading to confusion, so the variable will be removed starting from

version 120.271.12010000.18 of the file adxmlctx.tmp. For a list of all supported languages, please refer to the Oracle Applications Install Manual.

Number of requests that an individual http process will handl

s_maxrequests_perchild This directive sets the number of requests that an individual http child server process would handle. The maximum allowed value for this variable depends on the capacity of the system and also on the number

of simultaneous users. By default, the value of this variable is set to '0'.

Number of http requests allowed

per connection

s_maxkeepalive_requests This directive sets the number of http requests allowed per connection when KeepAlive directive is set to

ON. The maximum allowed value for this variable depends on the capacity of the system and also on the number of simultaneous users. By default, this is set to '0'.

Number of minimum idle http server

processes

s_minspare_servers This directive sets the desired minimum number of idle http server processes.

Number of maximum idle http

server processes

s_maxspare_servers This directive sets the desired maximum number of idle http server processes.

Number of Oracle HTTP Server child processes created on startup

s_startServers Sets the value of the Oracle HTTP (Apache) server directive 'StartServers' in httpd.conf. StartServers directive sets the number of child server processes created on startup. As the number of processes is

dynamically controlled depending on the load, there is usually little reason to adjust this parameter. For more details, please refer to http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B15904_01/web.1012/q20206/mod/mpm_common.html#startservers

Oracle HTTP Server Limit Request Field Size

s_limitrequestfieldsize The LimitRequestFieldSize directive allows the server administrator to reduce or increase the limit on the allowed size of an HTTP request header field. A server needs this value to be large enough to hold any

one header field from a normal client request



Oracle HTTP Server Limit Request

Field

s_limitrequestfields The LimitRequestFields directive allows the server administrator to modify the limit on the number of

request header fields allowed in an HTTP request. A server needs this value to be larger than the number of fields that a normal client request might include. The number of request header fields used by a client rarely exceeds 20, but this may vary among different client implementations, often depending upon the

extent to which a user has configured their browser to support detailed content negotiation

Oracle HTTP Server Limit Request Body

s_limitrequestbody The LimitRequestBody directive allows the user to set a limit on the allowed size of an HTTP request message body within the context in which the directive is given (server, per-directory, per-file or per-

location). If the client request exceeds that limit, the server will return an error response instead of servicing the request. The size of a normal request message body will vary greatly depending on the nature of the resource and the methods allowed on that resource

Oracle HTTP Server Limit Request Line

s_limitrequestline The LimitRequestLine directive allows the server administrator to reduce the limit on the allowed size of a client's HTTP request-line below the normal input buffer size compiled with the server. Since the request-

line consists of the HTTP method, URI, and protocol version, the LimitRequestLine directive places a restriction on the length of a request-URI allowed for a request on the server. A server needs this value to be large enough to hold any of its resource names, including any information that might be passed in the

query part of a GET request
