OWM stands for Oracle Wallet Manager. It is one of the components of OracleAS and a stand alone Java-based application used to administer a wallet. OWM (a GUI application) is used to perform the following tasks:

• Creating Oracle Wallets
• Creating private keys
• Downloading certificates in the Oracle wallet

The dcmctl command-line utility is used to perform general application server administration tasks without using Enterprise Manager. It is also used to perform some common OC4J administration tasks. It automates tasks such as startups, shutdowns, and some regular deployments (J2EE applications).

Oracle Application Server Key Components, Architecture, and Features

• The Portal and Wireless, and J2EE and Web Cache have OracleAS Web Cache components resulting in enhancing the performance of Internet-based applications.
• The OracleAS Web Cache is a server accelerator type of Web caching solution.
• The OracleAS Web Cache is a server accelerator type of Web caching solution and provides load balancing services.
• OracleAS Infrastructure would not be needed when using J2EE and OracleAS Web Cache Middle-Tier installation type.

Installing OracleAS Infrastructure and OracleAS middle tier

The OIDCTL utility is one of the OID command-line tools. The OIDCTL utility is used to start and stop the OID server instance. The actual commands to start and stop the OID server instance are issued through the OIDCTL utility.

The opmnctl command-line utility is used to manage processes on a particular Applications tier. It is also used to manage OHS and to start, stop, and restart the Oracle HTTP Server, including all OracleAS components. It also helps a user start, stop, restart, and view the status of OracleAS Web Cache components.

The ocactl command-line utility is used to specify the parameters needed to perform various Oracle Application Server Certificate Authority operations.

Note: Whenever this utility is invoked, it requires the OCA admin password.

OID stands for Oracle Internet Directory. It is an Oracle application that is a part of Oracle’s Identity Management infrastructure. The application is used for security purposes. Basically, it is a general purpose directory service that helps in managing user and network information.

A Web Cache is also known as a “content-aware” server accelerator. It behaves like a virtual server on behalf of the OracleAS instance. It caches specified Web application server content and passes it to the clients. It also enhances the availability, scalability, and performance of Web sites.

An Oracle wallet is a logical container used to store security credentials, which include certificates and public or private key pairs.

The OIDMON utility is one of the OID command-line tools. OIDMON is used to start the OID Monitor process that interprets and processes the OIDCTL commands. Therefore, it is responsible for managing the OID instance.
