R12.2. Startup and Shutdown Procedure

 Node Manager

$adnodemgrctl.sh start Enter Weblogic Admin Password:

 Weblogic Admin Server

 $adadminsrvctl.sh start Enter Weblogic Admin Password:

Application Listener

$adalnctl.sh start

Oracle Process Manager

$adopmnctl.sh start

Apache Services

$adapcctl.sh start

Managed Server for OACORE Services

$admanagedsrvctl.sh start oacore_server1 Enter Weblogic Admin Password:

Managed Server for FormsServices

$admanagedsrvctl.sh start forms_server1 Enter Weblogic Admin Password:

Managed Server for Fusion MiddleWare  Services

 $admanagedsrvctl.sh start oafm_server1 Enter Weblogic Admin Password:

Managed Server for Forms web  Services

$admanagedsrvctl.sh start forms-c4ws_server1 Enter Weblogic Admin Password:

Concurrent Manager Service

$ADMIN_SCRIPTS_HOME

When we want to stop all application services using script adstpall.sh , we provide apps password in R12.1.3.But in R12.2 it will ask weblogic admin password in addition to bring down to all services .
