4. What is AD Controller (or adctrl)?
Answer
------
AD Controller
(or adctrl) is used in conjunction with other
AD Utilities
(such as AutoInstall/AutoUpgrade, adadmin or
adpatch) to
determine the status of workers and restart failed
tasks.
Manages
parallel workers in AD Administration and AutoPatch.
Note: There
is 8th hidden option to skip the workers.
5. What is AD Relink (or adrelink)?
Answer
------
AD Relink (or
adrelink) allows you to relink Oracle Applications
executable
programs with the Oracle Server product libraries.
You can run
the adrelink utility manually to relink individual
executable
programs, or use the relink option in the AD
Administration
utility to relink all executable programs.
Administration
doesn’t relink AD executable.
For Example:
To relink adpatch, adsplice and adadmin:
adrelink.sh force=y “ad adpatch” “ad adsplice” “ad adadmin”
To relink all AD executables:
adrelink.sh force=y “ad all”
Thanks for nice article on Oracle Apps AD Utilities.
