The OC4J admin_client distribution

With the OC4J 10.1.3 release, we now provide a separate client side administration distribution:

http://download.oracle.com/otn/java/oc4j/1013/oc4j_admin_client_101300.zip

The distribution is approximately 5.5MB in side and contains the admin_client.jar utility and all the necessary libraries to perform command line administration of a remote OC4J instance.



Using this distribution, the admin_client.jar utility can connect to a remote OC4J 10.1.3 or Oracle Application Server 10.1.3 instance and execute any of its management commands.

As a simple example of using this distribution, I can use it to view the list of shared-libraries installed in the OC4J Home instance in an Oracle Application Server 10.1.3 server running at HQ in Redwood shores from my desktop PC here in Australia.

>mkdir oc4j_admin_client
>cd oc4J_admin_client
>jar xf d:\downloads\oc4j_admin_client_101300.zip
>cd j2ee
>cd home
>java -jar admin_client.jar deployer:oc4j:opmn://stadp57.us.oracle.com/home
