Startup and Shutdown services in Oracle Applications

Startup / Shutdown Apps 

In our next topic in learning Oracle Apps DBA , this post covers startup & shutdown of Oracle Application DBA

As you are aware by now there is Database Tier ( Database & DB Listener ) and Application Tier ( WebServer, Forms, Reports, Concurrent Manager, Discoverer, Apps Listener, OnetoOne Fullfillment Server )

Order of StartUp of Services Should be 
First DB Listener, Database & then Application Tier Services

Order of ShutDown of Services Should be
First Application Tier Services then Database & DB Listener

Database Startup/Shutdown Scripts
Depending on your AD Version these will be in ORACLE_HOME / appsutil/scripts /SID_hostname
addbctl.sh database startup shutdown script
addlnctl.sh database listener Script 

Where 

AD is for Application DBA
DB is for database
DLN is database listener
CTL is control

Isn't this easy to remeber ( Thanks to Oracle for naming convention)
